Lipstick Powder N Paint

It has been a very busy week for me. I have been attending shows at L’Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto. This year they decided to go New York-esq and have put up a tent.

Here are a couple of snaps from inside the tent. I’ll provide some beauty coverage next week.

Incredibly ambitious. Noted Canadian makeup artist. Creative Director for Beauté. That’s 25 year old Beau Nelson, whom I met at the Holt Renfrew last night.

Nelson takes glamour extremely seriously and is in the process of creating the ultimate luxury beauty brand, item by marvellous item.

Beauté currently includes 12 seductive Luminous Volume Glosses and a collection of 14 luxury makeup brushes.

Already a hit with the ‘A List’ crowd, Nelson informed me that J Lo loves to wear Luminous Volume Gloss in Skin Trade (a sheer creamy beige) and Medusa (creamy pink beige).

Keep your eye on Beauté as their collection of exclusively designed lines of shadows, powders and lip treatments are in the final stages of production and should be in the marketplace very soon.

“Beauté is at once luxe and functional. Combining the best in packaging innovation, superior product formulation and unique wearable color, Beauté is the evolution of makeup.”

With the weather changing and becoming colder, we are susceptible to catching a cold or the flu. There are a couple of items that you can keep in your medicine cabinet to assist with fighting the winter blues…

J.R. Watkins Apothercary Menthol Camphor Ointment
This cooling, soothing product has been making people feel better for more than 85 years. It helps relieve that stuffed-up, congested feeling of a chest cold and suppress the accompanying cough. Also provides temporary relief from aching muscles as well as sunburn, windburn and minor burns and scapes.

This Cold and Flu Bath and Shower Gel is the perfect day-starter or antidote for those under-the-weather blues.
