what’s hot for fall?

July 22, 07

There are so many things that are hot for fall this year, like the return of the Cat Eye (meeow), Red Lips (we all know how I feel about this one! haha) and of course my two favourites: the Smokey Eye and the Flawless Face!

The Flawless Face this season is all about the glowing skin, soft pink cheeks and of course a nude lip. If you are looking for the perfect nude lipgloss to go with your flawless look or smokey eye, I found an oldie but a goodie that will definitely do the trick. Try using Mac Lipglass in C-Thru. This high gloss shade will surely add a nice glow to compliment your look.

make.up must haves – eye pencils

July 3, 07

Okay so now you have no excuse as to why you didn’t wake.up and make.up! with these super easy and fabulous eye pencils from Body & Soul!

It’s an eyeshadow, eyeliner and smudge brush all in one pencil. What I love the most about these pencils, besides the fact that they are only $20, is that they are super easy to use, comes with the brush and is a very hygienic and cool alternative to traditional eyeshadow!

It comes in six great shades, and can be used wet or dry. Try using the pencils wet, then smudging them out for a perfect sexy smokey eye, with any colour!

Question: Can you please help me find a great mascara that will make my lashes look longer and fuller? (Kristina from Toronto)

Answer: Dear Lashes,

I believe that no look is ever complete without mascara. I always remember my mom telling me and my two sisters that no matter what, she never leaves the house without her mascara on! And today, I so agree!

There are a lot of great products on the market, and no matter how hard I look there is never going to be one magic mascara that is great for everyone. Because every woman has their own different needs and eye lashes.

Some women naturally have beautiful long full lashes, and can get away with using almost no mascara. But for the rest of us, not blessed with gorgeous lashes, here are some tips for finding the right mascara for you! Because every women needs a great mascara! (more…)
