Cover Up!
2008-08-11 11:00:00 The scary truth about sun damage is that telltale signs don?t appear until it is too late to do anything about them (well, there are methods out there to get rid of spots and wrinkles but we don?t want them in the first place). There really is no excuse if you don?t wear sunscreen. But we ... More About: Cover , Cover-up , Cover Up
Find your b spot?
2008-08-08 11:00:00 Sometimes, summer fragrances are topped with syrupy sweet notes that overwhelm or suffocate the true base, and bury any hint of floral. Benefit b spot commits no such injustice. This fruity floral combines the best of both worlds, but not overwhelmingly so. The top notes of freesia, mango, black currant and tangerine ... More About: Spot , Find , Fragrance

2008-08-06 11:00:00 You?re usually so good at dodging the sun?s rays, but the breeze through you right off and now that power nap you took in the hammock has left you a little, well shall we say half-baked.

The Men's Room: Anti-Age Expertise
2008-05-05 19:47:00 In May 2008, Lancôme launched its men?s skincare line: Lancôme Men. I had the pleasure of testing the following products:? The Ultimate Cleansing Gel? The High Definition Shave Foam? The Renergy 3D Firming Cream? The Age Fight Yeux Perfecting GelIn clinical studies conducted with 365 men of varying age, Lancôme produced some telling conclusions about men, and the way their skin performs in relation to women?s. Men's skin is physically different from women's: oilier, thicker, and warmer because it contains more blood vessels. Just consider the fact that us guys shave off our surface oils every morning, which causes micro-inflammation and a dehydration. Women don't do that - or do they?So guys, please think twice before you use your spouse?s face cream. Lancôme knows what the male skin requires and that is probably not her face products.Whilst staying in Montreal at the funky Opus Hotel, I was able to get intimate with the Lancôme Men?s skincare line. These are my stories. (Imagine... More About: Room , Anti , Lancome

Protect Your Lips
2008-05-02 15:46:00 Does your lip gloss or lipstick contain SPF? An estimated 3,500 new cases of skin cancer of the lips are diagnosed each year - pretty scary huh?Several beauty brands are realizing the need to include SPF in their lip products and we thank them for that. There are now many fantastic glosses and lipsticks that contain SPF 15 on the market. Here are my top picks:Aveda Lip Tint SPF 15Enjoy sheer, shimmering, conditioning colour in 8 shades, whilst protecting those lips.

The Sephora Brand
2008-04-29 01:29:00 Sephora's own brand was originally launched in France in 1994, and now occupies a large section in each Sephora store. What I really like about their products is the quality, that they are extremely affordable, and each item is available in a wide range of fun and fashionable colours. Here are the latest offerings from Sephora that will rock your eyes and make your lips pop:Sun Disk Give your face and body that sun-kissed glow with a powder brush and this powder. Say no to sunbathing and yes to bronzer.Colorful Mat Mono EyeshadowEnriched with green tea to soothe the delicate eye area, these matte shadows can be layered for added intensity. Available in nine pretty, sheer shades.Atomic Volume Maximum Volume Mascara Quite the mouthful!

In addition to providing you with mega-volume, this mascara will condition lashes, keeping them pretty and healthy.... More About: Brand , Sephora
Diamant Rose
2008-04-28 15:41:00 Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Ip, creator of Jeanne Lottie. Jane was warm, bubbly and excited to share her first fragrance, Diamant Rose with me.As an avid collector of fragrances, Jane was always secretly disappointed that she could never find that perfect, beautiful scent in an equally beautiful bottle. It was always bottle or scent. Jane decided that that was just not good enough and decided to create a special fragrance that women would enjoy wearing and also love seeing on their boudoir.Created and designed in France, and made in Canada, Diamant Rose has a floral lightness that fuses with hardy exotica, such as jasmine, tuberose, bitter orange, jasmine, sandalwood and musk. The refillable vintage-inspired, pink handbag-shaped bottle is as much a collectible as it is decorative."Women are all like pink diamonds - natural, beautiful, strong and precious," says the Canadian designer. "And my fragrance evokes the very same qualities".Available exclusively at Sears Ca...
