Laura Mercier’s New Black Tie Collection
November 25, 08
Inspired by Old Hollywood glamour – Laura Mercier’s new Black Tie Collection – is a makeup must have for this holiday season!
The collection offers everything from Glamour False Lashes to Nail Lacquers in caviar dreams and champagne wishes, as well as the limited edition Eye Colour Quad in Tuxedo, which pairs black, silver and white to create dramatic smokey eye’s in minutes.
But my favourite is the limited edition Lip Glace – in Soiree. Because not only does it smell fantastic, but it feels amazing, lasts a really long time and leaves your lips with an incredible shine – that’s perfect for all of your holiday parties!

Who Looked the Best at the 2008 American Music Awards?
November 24, 08
Last night, I got under my nice and warm blanket (as it’s really cold here in Toronto) and watched the American Music Awards – which I really enjoyed. Everyone looked absolutely fabulous. We saw several short skirts and dresses with a lot of red/berry stained dramatic lips.
I have to give the Happiface Award for the Best Red Lips to: Christina Aguilera, because as you know Red is not just a shade it’s an attitude and confidence that Christina brings everytime!
And, the Happiface Award for the Best Overall Look goes to: ( I chose two, as they both looked equally gorgeous!): Paris Hilton and Queen Latifah.
I would love to know if you agree or disagree with my picks?
And, don’t forget to wake.up and make.up!
