Jane Iredale – The Skin Care Makeup
December 14, 09
Ladies, let me introduce you to Jane Iredale – Mineral Makeup – aka The Skin Care Makeup.
Jane Iredale – the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics – was the first to supply the aesthetics industry with a full-line of makeup based on minerals and the first to see the potential of offering physicians a makeup that was good for the skin. Working closely with world-renowned plastic surgeons and dermatologists and with women whose careers depended on a clear complexion – has allowed her to see how skin disorders and sensitivities not only threaten careers but can also destroy self-confidence. This is what led her to develop a makeup line that could contribute to the lives of women by aiding the health of the skin. (www.janeiredale.com)

Quick Tips to Big Sexy Holiday Curls with Justin German
Last week I took my sister Jessie to Shagg Salon – at 102 Scollard Street - to visit Justin German (Consulting Stylist for Pantene) – to give us some quick and easy tips on how-to get gorgeous Big Sexy Curls – Take a Look!
Step One: Wash your hair the night before with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. (curls don’t really like freshly washed hair!)
Step Two: Section off your hair in two areas (top and bottom) with a clip.
Step Three: Take small, nicely combed out sections (about 1 to 2 inches) and hairspray the section.
*Justin’s Extra Tips: Use a medium hold or flexible hold hairspray – like the Pantene Pro-V Classic Flexible Hold Aerosol Hairspray – Stay away from using a firm hold spray, nobody wants crispy curls!
Step Four: With a medium size barrel curling iron – curl the section.
*Justin’s Extra Tips: Start curling 2 inches away from the scalp – and be sure to leave some hair out at the ends. Hold and count to three so that the curling iron get’s the hair nice and hot.
*Justin’s Extra Tips: Hold the curling iron in one place – and wrap the hair up around the iron, to get the perfect curl.
Step Five: Once all the hair has been curled – loosen the curls by running your hands through the hair with a serum – like the Pantene Pro-V – Smooth Serum to get rid of any fly-aways. And/or by turning your head upside down and gently massing the scalp to help loosen the waves as well as give it a little extra volume at the root! **Don’t touch the curl right after it’s been curled – let it have time to cool cool first!
*Justin’s Extra Tips: To add even more volume at the root – softly tease small sections gently with a comb.
And, that’s it – Beautiful Big Sexy Curls! Thanks Justin for all the great tips & Jessie for being a wonderful model!!
BEFORE AFTER (Jessie with Justin German)
I can’t wait to see your entries! Yeah!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!

Britney Spears – One, Two, Three!

Okay, so I have to admit – I love Britney’s new song – 3. Do you love it?
But, what I think I love the most, is the shade of her lipgloss in the video – OMG! So, I went out this past weekend to search for a similar shade – and here’s what I found:
Yves Saint Laurent – Rouge Volupte: Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick with SPF 15 in – #1 Nude Beige. I tried it on with a little clear gloss on top and I absolutely LOVED it! Yippeee!

Deodorant vs. Antiperspirant
December 1, 09
I have been getting a lot emails lately asking about the differences between Deodorant v.s Antiperspirant?
So here it goes:
Deodorants are substances applied to the body mainly to reduce body odor caused by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration. A subgroup of deodorants, Antiperspirants, prevent odor and reduce sweat produced by parts of the body. Antiperspirants are typically applied to the underarms, while deodorants may also be used on feet and other areas in the form of body sprays. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deodorant)
Hope that helps!

TowTabs are available in North American airports, convenience stores, pharmacies and service stations – and come in a variety of formats:
- The original roll of 10
- A Towcase with 12 TowTabs and a travel case with six compartments (a happiface favourite!!!)
- A Twinpack which is a small cardboard envelope containing two TowTabs

Jimmy Choo at H&M!
November 26, 09
From sexy high heels and ballet flats to thigh high boots – Jimmy Choo does it again – but this time exclusively for H&M!!
“The Jimmy Choo collection for H&M is full of fun, one-off items with an accessible and glamorous identity made with stylish materials, emphasised with colour and embellishment. I wanted to create pieces that would reach a cool and young customer with a fashionable and independent sense of spirit in this one-off collaboration.” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo. (www.hm.com)
“This Autumn Jimmy Choo brings vitality and sexy glamour to H&M. I love the really high strappy sandals with lots of decoration and attitude, matched with clean-cut, 80s-inspired clothes. Designer Tamara Mellon always shows her amazing shoes with equally amazing clothes, and we wanted to offer our customers a complete collection – including men’s shoes and clothes too. I think this collection suits anyone with a flair for fashion and high heels.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M. (www.hm.com)
“…Jimmy Choo pulls out all the stops to provide decoration for the feet.There are crystal embellishments, studs, animal prints such as zebra, and accent colours of red and blue to give the shoes that real power. While glamour is the key to the skyscraper high heels, Jimmy Choo is also bringing a cropped Cuban-heel boot to H&M as well as the essential ballet pump to make it a truly complete collection” (www.hm.com)
“The shoes are complemented by accessories, evening clutches and larger day bags, which are studded or fringed for the jet-set lifestyle. Belts are studded and wide, or long enough for a triple wrap. Choker necklaces, bracelets, cuffs and earrings echo the shoes perfectly. The clothes collection has a gloss goth feel with one-shoulder dresses, jumpsuits, leather leggings and dresses covered in crystals, emphasised by a fake-fur gilet, sequined cardigans and embroidered tops. For men, there will be a selection of ankle boots and bags, as well as a wardrobe of wool blazers, leather biker jackets, silk and cashmere mix sweaters, shirts and trousers.” (www.hm.com)
