Lipstick Powder N Paint

We are having gorgeous weather here in Toronto!  It is super sunny and warm. When the weather is like this, I hate to put on a lot of makeup, don’t you?  Unfortunately, I don’t have flawless skin, like all of my staff, so I do need a little help faking it.  For about two months I have been using Clinique‘s Superbalanced Powder Makeup SPF 15 Mineral Rich Formula, and I LOVE it!

So many choices it makes our heads spin! How do you figure out what’s best for you? Here’s the breakdown of the latest mineral makeup foundations to be found on store shelves.

Lancôme Ageless Mineral
Includes a white sapphire complex to make skin look brighter and feel softer. It’s formulated with aloe, vitamin E, mica, alumina and bismuth oxychloride. Twelve shades all offer SPF 21 and are free of talc, oil and fragrance.

The positive – it comes in shade options. The negative – it can be irritating to sensitive skin.

Growing up you used to steal her clothes and makeup without telling her. It is time to pay her back for all of the years of sisterly bickering by wowing her with the perfect gift. (more…)

When things are labeled “natural” it can mean a number of different things. We’ve combed through the influx of these products and have come across a real gem – Micabella Cosmetics. All of their products – bronzers, eye shadows, lipstick, nail polish and mascara – consist of 100 per cent mica. Because of their earthly pedigree, we’ve found the products to be especially gentle on our eyes. The range of 80 shades (yes, 80) is enough to satisfy our need to constantly switch up our colour palettes. (more…)

We want a makeup line that provides our skin with SPF protection, has a lightweight formula, won’t melt off, and is pretty much perfect. Is that too much for a girl to ask for? We are happy to report that it’s not. Susan Posnick’s cosmetics line was developed after a 20-year career of glamorizing the famous faces of models and celebrities. A personal bout with skin cancer inspired makeup artist Susan Posnick to create a line of makeup that would simplify beauty.

And that is what she did. Whether you’re a gal on the go or would love to get a little more sleep in the morning, this handy cosmetic line is portable and functional. From the double sided COLOURFOREVER, lip colour and plumping tinted conditioner, to COLOURME, the colour that can be applied anywhere on the face, this line does it all. We especially love the coveted mineral foundation, COLOURFLO, which has the highest sun protection on the market with SPF 26. Chock full of nine natural ingredients, COLOURFLO will provide your skin with antioxidant protection and prevent free radical damage.

Do your skin a favour and treat it to healthy, natural makeup. We promise your skin with thank you.
