My favourite piece from M.A.C's latest collection, "MAC in Lilly Land" is this gorgeous three hued pearlmatte eyeshadow. Inspired by designer Lilly Pulitzer's floral motif and retro modern color sensibilities, mac has created three distinct eye shadows in both shimmer and matte textures, that when blended create a fantastic soft pearl highlight finish. This will be perfect for the summer, so grab one now, cuz they wont be here when the warm weather is!
Personally I can hardly wait for Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland this spring. The makeup design alone is enough to make me giddy with anticipation. Clearly I'm not the only one, both Urban Decay and O.P.I. are releasing limited edition products to tie in with the movie. Urban Decay's book of shadows, contains 16 of the brands best selling shadows, 2 eye liners, and a bottle of their famous primer potion. O.P.I. is offering 4 cleverly named nail polishes, such as "mad as a hatter" a dark plum lacquer with rainbow glitter.
After over a ten year hiatus from the world of fragrance, the house of Balenciaga returns with an olfactory offering simply named "Balenciaga Paris". Described as a "chypre floral with accentuated violet" , it is truly an modern urban floral with tradtional metal nuances. Created by world renouned nose Olivier Polge and Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere, it seeks to blend tradtion with a modern sensibility. Violet leaves and carnation provide the floral notes, and are anchored by redistilled woods such as cedar and patchouli. The campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, features songstress and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. The 50ml size retails at $110 cad, and is available at Holt Renfrew and select Bay locations.
Red in the face? Well luckily there are a few solutions in the fight for an even toned complexion. Here are some of the best ones to help you do just that.
Women are always looking for the perfect mascara, and cosmetic companies are always inundating us with new and improved versions. Heres a smart way to try 10 of sephora's most popular mascaras without breaking the bank. Sephora's lashstash deluxe mascara sampler will run you $50 (a $104 value).
American Apparel has just entered into the beauty forum with an offering of nail polish. With 18 assorted shades to choose from, colors like Hassid (a blacky blue) and downtown LA (a bright red), you can now coordinate your leggings, T shirts, panties and nail polish! All are formaldehyde free and will set you back $6 a piece. Stay tuned for a perverted, somewhat creepy add campaign in the near future ; )
Etat Libre Has created quite arguably the world's most erotic and subversive collection of perfumes available anywhere. These perfumes and colognes have an incredibly strong cult following in Paris, and all over Europe for that matter. I just discovered Etat thanks to a client who returned from 6 months in Italy, and fell in love with Etat's olfactory expressionism. scents like Jasmine and cigarettes, Secretions Magnifiques, Putain des Palaces (hotel slut), Eloges traitre (such a traitor), all put an erotic spin on classic french perfume. They even have a perfume based on the works of Tom of Finland (if you know who he is, this warrants no further explanation. If you dont, then look him up!). A limited selection of Etat Libre is available at Murale http://www.murale.ca (shoppers drug mart's answer to sephora) at the shops on Don Mills, 1090 Don Mills Road.
