Lipstick Powder N Paint

From now until May 13, you must visit the one and only Proctor and Gamble Look Fab Studio, that is open in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Your brows are a little unruly, perhaps you notice that horror of all horrors you are getting a moustache…what do you do?! There are a couple of different ways to remove hair from your face - waxing is probably the most popular with tweezing a close second.

My sensitive skin has an aversion to waxing and I always end up looking like I have a disease only hours after a waxing session. Well rashes be gone! I am now a threading fan. This Middle Eastern tradition has been around for a very long time and is incredibly inexpensive. For only $7 CAD I had my eyebrows groomed and my ’stache removed.

What is threading? It is cotton thread twisted tightly to pull out hair in a precise manner.

How is it done? The ‘Threader’ holds one end of the cotton thread in their teeth and the other in the left hand. The middle is looped through the index and middle fingers of the right hand. The ‘Threader’ then uses the loop to trap a series of unwanted hairs and pull them from the skin.

It sounds painful but it is not at all and will last to approx 4 weeks and can be done on the upper lip, chin, eyebrows, sideburns and cheeks.

If you are in Vancouver I would highly recommend Kohli’s on 49th and Main Street. Their phone number is 604-327-2779.

April is skincare month here at Lipstick, Powder ‘n Paint and I wanted to bring your attention to a great article I just read online.

Real Simple Magazine is one of my favorite mags and their article “New Skin-Care Products with Natural Ingredients” focuses on products that use Pomegranate, Grapefruit, Mushroom, Pumkin and…Bamboo. Yes Bamboo. I was a little surprised, but maybe you are not. Did you know that finely milled bamboo powder is used as an exfoliant in cleansers and scrubs?

Available in 20 long lasting shades, ShineSeduction Glossy Lipcolor from Maybelline promises to deliver precise colour with an ultra-shiny finish.

The exclusive sculpting tip contours and glazes lips with the perfect amount of ultra-light weight glossy color infused with aqua-botanicals and Vitamin E.
