There’s No Bee In Bumble

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Bumble and Bumble has been in business since 1977 and is used and sold in top salons all over the world. I have been an addict for many years and swear by their shampoos and conditioners.

Hair Powder is a product that peeked my interest. Ideal for the gal that needs to wash her hair daily due to it going flat from a greasy scalp (that’s me!). By applying this product you gain instant fullness and it will absorb extra oils found on your scalp. Available in 5 shades, Hair Powder will enhance your own colour temporarily. If you have visible roots but aren’t going to your colourist for a while this a great quick fix!

Hair Powder comes in these shades:
Blondish – good for darker blonde, golden, honey or caramel coloured hair
Brown – good for chocolate, mahogany & chestnut shades
Red – good for all shades of red hair
Black – good for inky brown, asian, hispanic coloured hair

1oz $23.00USD
4.4oz $40.00 USD
available at
Strawberry Cosmetics (USA) Ltd.

Top-of-the-Charts

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Once again Benefit is the top-of-the-charts with their new product Some Kind-a Gorgeous. This little record compact in its record player box is so cute and original – it will grab your full attention!

It is an oil-free, translucent, foundation-like product that feels so silky and lightweight – you’d think that you were not smoothing anything onto your face!

I was amazed that this universal shade could blend in so flawlessly to my extra pale skin. It evened out my skin tone and looked really great. It lasted throughout the day and never caked or got into my creases.

It comes with a nice thin sponge which is great for applying this cream-to-powder, or you can apply with fingertips.

I definitely recommend this foundation faker to anyone who does not like the feel of foundation but wants that even skin tone appearance that you get from foundation.

$26.00 USD $32.00 CDN
Available from Sephora or as of November in Canada The Bay, Sephora and Shoppers Drugmart (Mount Pleasant, Queen’s Quay, Sheppard Center, The Glebe, Woodbridge)

Jeepers Creepers, Where Did You Get Those Peepers?

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Today is all about the eyes and what delicious eyeshadows are out there to bring attention to your windows to the soul.

Below are some items that you may or may not be aware of. Now and in the near future, I am going to try and introduce to you items that are hot sellers are well as some newer items on the market that I think will be hot items.

Fresh Roman Holiday Eye Shadow Palette
Containing six gorgeous shades in a sleek and stylish compact case complete with crystal clear mirror and a petite brush. This powder eye shadow is an intensely pigmented and moist formula enhanced with crushed pearl and antioxidant rich green tea.

Cargo REM – Radiant Eye Movement
The coolest innovation in eye color. Slick on these hyper-opalescent, iridescent shadows alone for a sheer wash of light-catching color, or layer under your favorite shadow for a dazzling multi-tonal effect.

Cargo is a Canadian based company and has quickly become a favorite among celebrities and film & television makeup artists who they have called upon to consult and create new products.


Cherriflip Eye Shadow
Beautifully sheer and flexible, these shadows have varying textures and combine to make any desired shade!

All Cherriflip products are hypoallergenic and have never been tested on animals. Cherriflip is based in Toronto, Canada.



Too Faced Eye Shadow Duo’s
Each dynamic Duo has been created in true Hollywood tradition. Casting a glamorous, sparkling starlet with the perfect rich and powerful partner. Use the lightest shade all over you lid and the darker shade for a sexy crease definition. With 18 colour combo choice, how can you go wrong?!

Died and Gone to Lipgloss Heaven

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I honestly think I have died and gone to lipgloss heaven! Have you seen the Some Like it Hot lipgloss set from Tarte? It contains 10, yes 10 mini lipglosses in a black and purple lace patterned case. Three interchangable connector pieces are also included so that you can mix and match your glosses, snap ‘em on and go!

With great names like pep, cayenne, and zip, these glosses are in shades of playful pink and sheer flirty neutrals.

Hold on a minute! I forgot to tell you the news…they are all cinnamon flavoured! Each lipgloss in this little kit has a sizzle as well as a sparkle! My favourite one out of the lot is actually named Sizzle too!

Wear them alone, try two together, have fun and you know….some do like it hot!
