Bye Bye Bags
Whether a party girl or pulling all nighters – no one like dark circles under their eyes. Besides using a kick-ass concealer like TimeBalm, try some eye pads. Elizabeth Grant has Vitamin C Illuminating Eye Pads that promise to erase the darkness. 10 hours of sleep a night kind of glow! Rich in skin lightening, brightening and smoothing vitamin C and infused with Torricelumn™’s anti-wrinkle properties, these eye pads can be applied daily or weekly for an intensive under eye treatment. Your eyes have never looked brighter or more beautiful.
Nature’s most effective anti-aging vitamin, vitamin C works by strengthening the support structure of the skin, thus diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties protect the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors like sun and air pollution. Elizabeth Grant’s encapsulated vitamin C is released upon application into the skin, absorbing immediately and going to work lightening, brightening and evening the appearance of the skin.

Black Lip Gloss
O-M-GEE.
Black lipgloss – from the catwalk to the sidewalk! I saw an ad for the new Lancome densely pixelated lipstain La Laque Fever and went to the Bay to look for it. Not only is it electric pink, it is claimed to be the “Revolution in shine. High Potency color.
Lacquered lips last for six hours.: The nice lady at the counter showed me this BLACK lipgloss and I was like HUH!? Then I spent some time Googling it and found some pretty terrific ones. What do you think?
The look comes from layering a translucent black lip gloss over a vibrant red lipstick which was all over the runways this season. It brings subtle, darker intensity and magnifies lips with dazzling radiant shine
Lancome had a waiting list when it released it’s Piha Black Lip Gloss – a sheer, shiny black made to wear over their Piha Red Lipstick. This creates a multi-layered look – tres cool!
YSL has also release their own version of the black sheer gloss:
YSL GLOSS PUR Black goes from plum to ebony, it dresses lips in an infinite range of shades, depending on how it is applied – feather light or rich and bold. Transparent yet intense, it plays on the depths of black and the pure shine of a sparkle-free formula.

ProNails
A lot of people have been commenting on my nailpolish so I decided to share this with you. It’s not essie, its not OPI, not Sally Hansen… its not even from Shoppers Drug Mart! It’s from Claire’s. I am the kind of person who will shop any and everywhere to find great items such as this. This is a ‘patent pending’ product called Mixables. They dry within 30seconds and dries matte. I put a coat of 101A White Lights Glitter from NYC to make mine glossy. The first one is layered (from top to bottom) flamingo pink, sunset orange and fierce fushia. It comes out as a orangey pink like those bristol boards you can buy for your science fair project. The second one is layered (from top to bottom) BestBuy Blue, mollymaid pink and then grape juice purple. This one comes out as a blue purple that’s vibrant and has that extra kick. The third one I found on Nailgal is lime green, highlighter yellow and beyonce blue. I guess it comes out neon green like that photo.
It doesnt come out marble-ly or shimmery like normal nailpolish you can get – but this is kinda cool because it dries very fast, doesn’t really chip and gives you an excuse to go to Claire’s again!
Show me your nails!
“Oops I’m a go
Nails like whoa
Acrylic base
Top all gold
Colors on my nails
To the paint on my toes
Stay fresh cuz i’m from the go”

Pretty much flawless
I have 2 personalities, glossyvonne and yvonne. One is blonde and fun and the other is a brunette and kinda studious. 🙂 I am yvonne for 2009 until further notice. Biked to Sephora today on Bloor and wanted to find a nice matte flawless foundation to match my new hue, and after playing around for hours, I was debating the new multishade makeupforever liquid foundation or the smashbox high def one. Then the Laura Geller phenomenal foundation one caught my eye! Cool bottle that swivels shut and keeps the foundation fresh, a nice pump system that works well for me – so it’s amazing! Pretty, sheer-medium coverage and minimal transfer. “Virtually weightless formula blends beautifully to perfect your complexion. Create a flawless canvas and keep it all day.” Laura Geller is famous for it’s brow marker and she believes beauty is every woman’s birthright. Amen to that! I will let you know how it compares to my all time favourite maybelline dream matte mousse. Any good recommendations?

Mistura
Canada-based Mistura Beauty Goes to Hollywood
Newly launched Mistura Beauty to be Presenting Gift Sponsor at two Celebrity Events
OTTAWA, November 13th, 2008 – Ottawa-based cosmetics firm Mistura Beauty has announced that it has been selected as the presenting gifting suite sponsor for The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards® to be held in Hollywood, California on January 11th, 2009. Over 80 nominees and presenters will receive Mistura’s top-selling product, the 6-in-1 Beauty Solution™, a multi-functioning mineral-based powder that self-adjusts to all skin types and colors. “We have an exceptionally unique and revolutionary product” says Andi Marcus, President and CEO of Mistura Beauty. “Our all-in-one product is highly “pitchable” which makes it ideal for swag and giveaways.”
Mistura will follow the Golden Globes with a six day stint in Park City, Utah as a gifting sponsor for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, further promoting their brand. “We have had tremendous success with celebrities in the past so it just made sense to continue these marketing strategies” notes Marcus, citing Olympians Nastia Liukin and Jennie Finch as Mistura enthusiasts in addition to actress Jill Hennessy and award-winning CNN reporter, Christiane Amanpour.Mistura shot into the headlines in 2008 after their successful launch in March and after signing celebrity jockey and VOGUE® model, Chantal Sutherland, as the face of their Mistura product line. Sutherland, who recently vied for a win at the Breeder’s Cup as the only participating female jockey, has moved to Santa Anita, California to combine her thoroughbred racing with starring roles in two upcoming reality TV shows. She is scheduled to appear on David Letterman in December and plans to attend the Golden Globe event with Mistura in January. Mistura’s collaboration with Sutherland is both an industry first and a Canadian first which was covered by CTV News, NBC News and TSN. “It truly is a win-win situation for us all” says Marcus. “We have brought some glamour and freshness to an otherwise male-dominated sport and Chantal has worked tirelessly to promote our product from both an athlete’s and beauty enthusiast’s perspective.”
A SkyMall Top-Seller, Mistura’s 6-in-1 Beauty Solution ™ will soon be available at www.blissworld.com in addition to Miles Kimball’s As We Change catalogue. “We are expanding rapidly” notes Marcus “retailers love the fact that they don’t have a multi-item product line to worry about. There are no extensive inventory management issues and it is effectively a “try-and-buy” product. We are hoping that our concept will be appealing to larger establishments like Sephora, Bliss Spas and Canada-based Shopper’s Drug Mart in the upcoming months”. Asked where she feels the product would be most successful, Marcus adds “QVC, Canada-based TSC…any shopping channel to be honest. It would be an incredibly lucrative relationship and is therefore something that we are currently working towards. We intend to pursue this avenue vigorously.”
