Mascara Monday - Deca Mascara

I've been trying out some of the products in the new Deca Professional Cosmetics line that I introduced you to a couple weeks ago, and I have to say so far one of my favourites is the:


Deca Mascara - $17.50 - with a creamy base that conditions lashes and offers a smooth even application that is gentle enough even for sensitive eyes - comes in black, black/brown and brown
It has a good sized bristle brush and a very smooth formula that goes on easily without clumping.
And adds volume and length with very little effort. It's not the most volumizing or lengthening mascara I've ever tried to be sure - but for an everyday mascara I prefer something not too dramatic so this is just the right amount!
When I look at a picture of my eyes closed like this, if I don't feel the need to run for a lash comb, that's when I know I have a good mascara!

Murale wants you to shop naked!

Tired of having to put on clothes to go out and buy your beauty products? Me too! The geniuses at Murale have realized that the less we are forced to spend on clothes, the more money we'll have to spend on makeup and have finally brought us online shopping!

Let's face it, Canada's a big place and there aren't enough Murale's to go around - even being in Toronto the closest Murale to me is a bit of a trek so I am happy to be able to get my fix online!

Pros: lots of great brands delivered right to your door; free samples; shipping deals; and let's not forget Optimum Points!

Cons: there are some brands they taunt you with (ie Bobbi Brown, Bourjois) that when you try to order, find out are only available in-store - not sure if they have plans to make all brands available online eventually, here's hoping!

Also I can see drinking and shopping becoming a problem although I guess that's still better than drinking and going home with inappropriate men...

Check it out and order yourself something pretty at www.murale.ca and be sure to follow on twitter - @Murale

Lips get glossy with Avon, Estée Lauder and Annabelle! Swatches!

Avon Shine Attract Lipstick - $12 - a core of colour wrapped in a clear hydrating gloss infused with vitamin E gives you the perfect mixture of colour, gloss, moisture and cool packaging all in one go! In 15 shades: Rose Bouquet; Mysterious Mauve; Passionate Red; Guava; Cherry Pie; Plumberry; Fuchsia Flare; Wrapped in Raisin; Orchid; Rose Pink; Shimmer Pink; Caressing Coral; Nude Love; All Around Russet; Copper Connection.

Available from your Avon rep - 1800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca
I tried Wrapped in Raisin - it goes without saying that the packaging looks cool and as you can see, the ratio of gloss to colour makes the colour go on very sheer so don't be scared off of something dark or bright!
Estée Lauder Pure Color Gloss with Sequins Finish - $24 - a limited edition finish available in 6 shades: Double Dare; Violet Rain; Fuschia Vibes; Cosmic Pink; Purple Passion; Molton Honey. In a cool new formula that saturates lips with vibrant colour and gloss shine with luminous pearls that create infinite depths of crystal reflections for a dazzling shine. Available at counters and at www.esteelauder.ca
On the other hand, what you see is what you get with this one! This shade is Double Dare and I love how red and glossy it is. My main issue with red glosses is they always seem to migrate outside of my lip line and I end up looking like a non-sparkly vampire! No such issues with this one and I was always impressed with the colour's staying power!
Annabelle Big Show Lipshine - $9.50 - in 12 shades: breathe, smile, rave, gasp, laugh, shout, giggle, pout, flirt, dare, chat, whisper - aluxurious gloss with added anti-oxidants to hydrate and keep your lips feeling baby soft - the formula is creamy, non-sticky and contains light-reflecting sparkles, as well, it contains grape seed oil, Omega-6 and vitamin E to keep your lips smooth and supple. Paraben and perfume free.
Or if you want something that feels amazingly moisturizing on, this is a great choice! This shade is Smile - and it really makes me want to!

Eye Love Wednesday - Make Up For Ever - pretty in pastel!

We've been seeing pastel all over the spring runways and in an attempt to be on trend, I have been trying hard to achieve a pretty and soft pastel eye, but it's actually a tricky colour to do. My usual lazy colour wash eyeshadow technique doesn't seem to work - I just end up looking like an 80's throwback!

Luckily, Make Up For Ever Managing Academy Educator, Jen Evans, has my back and has shared her pro tips for creating a fresh, romantic spring look by adding a subtle pop of colour to your lids with pastels.

Here's her simple 4-step eye technique:

Step 1: Apply a nude eye shadow from the upper lash line to the crease.
Step 2: Using an eye shadow brush like Make Up For Ever’s #10S, sweep your favorite pastel eye shadow from the inner to outer corner of the eye, extending just above the crease while leaving the
outer corner open.
Step 3 (optional): Apply a pop of pastel to the outer corner of the lower lash line for a more colorful, playful pop.
Step 4: Apply two coats of your favorite mascara, such as Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash.
Use any of the above pastel colours which range from subtle to more vibrant to create an eye-opening and brightening look. Jen is absolutely right, I've been playing around with her suggested look and not only is this technique easy, it looks stunning! Also note, if you like a monochromatic look, any of the MUFE shadows can double as blushes and any of their blushers can be used as a shadow!

Available at Sephora stores across Canada and online at www.sephora.ca

This week I'm (still) obsessed with... RapidLash!

RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum - $59.95 - if you've ever wanted to improve the overall appearance and condition of your lashes and brows you'll be happy to know that 30 days to better brows and lashes is totally possible, not just lip service with this product!

With: potent polypeptides - octa/cooper/oligo - to help amplify the quality and volume of lashes and brows as well as provide effective protection against breakage and naturally support stronger, more voluminous lashes; vital proteins and vitamins - panthenol and hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans join forces to help replenish and rejuvenate lashes and brows as well as provide strength, shine and enhance the overall appearance; and moisturizing and rejuvenating agents - allantoin, pumpkin seed extract and licorice extract - help add shine and flexibility as well as provide extreme hydration to lashes by locking in moisture while improving elasticity and durability.

I've tried a lot of lash serums over the past couple of years and this is one I keep coming back to for a very simple reason that it works. Being easy to apply and affordable is the cherry on the eyelash sundae - not that an eyelash sundae sounds good at all...
