Lipstick Powder N Paint

Victoria’s Secret – the brand behind the world’s sexiest fashion show – has finally arrived in Canada – and we couldn’t be more excited! The second location in Canada is at Yorkdale Mall (the first location opened in the West Edmonton Mall) and it’s gorgeous – girly, flirty and approachable. Three stunning Angels (Adriana Lima, Channel Iman and Erin Heatherton) were on hand to celebrate the opening with a pink ribbon cutting event. (more…)

Linda Hay has worked with the most beautiful women in the world including supermodels Heidi Klum and Karolina Kurkova.

For the holiday season, Hay provides Lipstick, Powder ‘n Paint readers with three makeup looks that will have you looking like a Victoria’s Secret model in minutes:

Supermodel Glam
“This is the wearable version of the look I do on girls like Karolina for the VS Fashion Show. It’s all about the “sexy Siren” with dark smoky eye, a touch of color on the cheeks and full, provocative pink lips. And creating it is much easier than anyone would think.”

Simply Sexy
“This is a sexy, flirty daytime look. It’s all about a fresh, pink glossy lips and a bit of soft shimmer for the eye with a naturally rosy cheek simultaneously pretty and sexy.”

Sultry Smoke
“Nothing says sexy like a sultry, smoky eye. The beauty of it is that while it looks like it takes hours and a team of professional makeup artists to create, anyone can do it. The key? Blend, blend, blend.”

Linda Hay used one kit for the recent VS show and that was the Look of the Show kit.

The kit includes:
Mosaic Eye Shadow in Sultry
Mosaic Blush in Afterglow
Perfect Lipstick in VIP
Lip Gloss in Intimate
Intensifying Mascara in Blackest Black

These items all come in a black patent leather CD makeup case with Victoria’s Secret logo on front.

This month sees the re-launch of Victoria’s Secret popular body care line, Secret Garden. It is so popular in fact that for every second a Victoria’s Secret store is open, approximately four Secret Garden products are sold. That’s pretty amazing!

My husband LOVES Victoria’s Secret’s Alessandra Ambrosio and I guess I can’t blame him, she is stunning. Well, the Brazilian bombshell celebrated her birthday last week in Miami at the hot-spot Mokai and had a cake that looked exactly like a “Very Sexy Make-up” compact!

Earlier in the day Alessandra greeted fans and signed autographs at the Victoria’s Secret store on Lincoln Road to celegrate the Very Sexy Makeup, which launched in September.

Victoria’s Secret makeup artists were at the store event providing free makeovers, demonstrating the spring’s hottest, sexiest makeup trends and using the NEW Very Sexy Makeup Diamond Collection. The Diamond Collection is a limited-edition collection of lip glosses, eye shadows, and shimmer powders formulated with real crushed diamond dust. The sexy palette consists of sparkly peach and pinks for the lips, coupled with vibrant jewel tones for the eyes.

Jo Malone Red Roses

Composed of seven types of roses from around the world, red roses is a surprisingly clean, voluptuous scent. With a heart of crushed violet leaves and hints of lemon and spearmint, it unfolds like a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day Jo Malone suggests paring Red Roses and Pomegranate Noir Colognes. The spicy, enigmatic scent of Pomegranate Noir contrasts nicely with the clean floral of Red Roses.
