The Sephora Brand

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Sephora’s own brand was originally launched in France in 1994, and now occupies a large section in each Sephora store. What I really like about their products is the quality, that they are extremely affordable, and each item is available in a wide range of fun and fashionable colours. Here are the latest offerings from Sephora that will rock your eyes and make your lips pop:

Sun Disk
Give your face and body that sun-kissed glow with a powder brush and this powder. Say no to sunbathing and yes to bronzer.

Colorful Mat Mono Eyeshadow
Enriched with green tea to soothe the delicate eye area, these matte shadows can be layered for added intensity. Available in nine pretty, sheer shades.


Atomic Volume Maximum Volume Mascara
Quite the mouthful! Sephora has developed an innovative tubular brush applicator with a lash-lengthening comb that separates lashes for a full, sexy flutter. In addition to providing you with mega-volume, this mascara will condition lashes, keeping them pretty and healthy.

Lush Flush
If you’re a fan of lip and cheek stains, you need to try Lush Flush. This Red Wine Extract formula provides a natural flushed look, and is loaded with anti-oxidants to help protect skin from environmental pollutants and free radicals. All this for only $10.

Maniac Long Wearing Lipstick
I will only wear lipstick if it is hydrating to my lips. Why wear a product if it isn’t going to improve the look and feel of the body part it is applied to? Sephora’s new Maniac lipstick has my lips looking and feeling great, and each shade is long-lasting too. Available in 16 shades.

Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss
Shimmering colour in 24 shades that is perfect for that glossy pout. Every lipgloss addict needs to add this to their makeup bag.

Diamant Rose

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Ip, creator of Jeanne Lottie. Jane was warm, bubbly and excited to share her first fragrance, Diamant Rose with me.

As an avid collector of fragrances, Jane was always secretly disappointed that she could never find that perfect, beautiful scent in an equally beautiful bottle. It was always bottle or scent. Jane decided that that was just not good enough and decided to create a special fragrance that women would enjoy wearing and also love seeing on their boudoir.

Created and designed in France, and made in Canada, Diamant Rose has a floral lightness that fuses with hardy exotica, such as jasmine, tuberose, bitter orange, jasmine, sandalwood and musk. The refillable vintage-inspired, pink handbag-shaped bottle is as much a collectible as it is decorative.

“Women are all like pink diamonds – natural, beautiful, strong and precious,” says the Canadian designer. “And my fragrance evokes the very same qualities”.

Available exclusively at Sears Canada.

Daniela Suppa was manning The Colour Lounge and her expertise is helping you find that perfect shade. Whether it’s foundation, blush or lipstick – she’s your gal.
