In my shower - Joico Color Endure Shampoo and Conditioner!

You've heard me complain many times before about how hard it is to maintain the red in my hair and how the biggest help is a really good shampoo and conditioner that protect against colour loss such as I've found with:

Joico Color Endure Shampoo -300 ml - $12.69 and Joico Color Endure Conditioner - 300ml - $14.99 - sulfate-free, they feel and smell great while protecting vibrancy and longevity of colour treated hair and leaves me with hair that is soft, shiny and supple with increased strength and elasticity all thanks to a brand new innovation - Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex - the most powerful, targeted hair repair technology ever - not only does it repair the exact sites of damage but also prevents future damage by creating a molecular shield of protection around the hair structure that lasts up to 25 shampoos.

Like the idea of the bio-advanced peptide complex but don't have coloured hair? Not to worry, it's featured in all Joico shampoos and conditioners - including:

Volumizing Shampoo - 300ml - $12.69 and Volumizing Conditioner - 300ml - $14.99

Nine West does shoes right with new Yorkdale concept store!

Nine West has re-opened its flagship store at
Yorkdale Mall, revamping it to make it the first of its kind in Canada!

Mirroring the dynamics of the New York Lexington flagship store, the newly renovated Yorkdale Nine West store creates a revolutionary experience, inspired by a woman’s enduring desire to surround herself with great shoes!

Tim Davison, Chief Operating Officer, describes this new experience as “Unlike any other shoe store in the centre.
It is a combination of new architectural details and merchandising techniques that have changed the typical square
box ‘bricks and mortar’ experience. We have a new way of looking at shoe store design...We Do Shoe!!!”

With less is more in mind, Nine West has captured the top selection in sandals, pumps, platforms, flats and boots for the shoe fashionista.
Different from the everyday volume concept presented by other retailers, the new design features unique beauty wall trends:

• The ‘Pump Parlour’ Wall – A showcase of signature heels.
• The ‘Ballet Bar’ Wall – An array of ballets flats for every woman’s need.
• The ‘We Do Shoe’ Wall – The hot to trot collection.
• The ‘Sandal Salon’ Wall – The whole kit and caboodle – colourful collation.

Having been to the old location many times, I couldn't believe it was the same space - it looks modern and sleek with a chic white frame interior accented by my favourite part (next to the shoes) lush pink benches - perfect for trying on a new pair (or dozen) shoes!

Open now at Yorkdale, be sure to check it out!

Fragrant Friday - Fan di Fendi Eau Fraiche

Fendi reinvents their signature with a dazzling radiant and happy tempoed addition:

Fan di Fendi Eau Fraiche - 50ml EDT - $78, 75ml EDT - $94 - a radiant floral with top notes of Bergamot from Calabria, Lemon from Italy and Cardamom from Guatemala; heart notes of Sencha Green Tea accord, Orange flower absolute and Sambac Jasmine; and base notes of Mate Absolute, Cedarwood and soft, silky musk.

And while the fragrance itself smells a little too floral on me for my taste, I am in love with the bottle - the green and silver look so crisp, fresh and classy - the perfect decoration for any dressing table!

Available at The Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick - with swatches!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick - $7.99 - in 10 shades: #107 (burgundy-wine), #113 (beige-brown), #109 & #110 (peach-coral), #111 (red), #104 & #105 (mauve-rose), #101, #102 & #103 (pink-rose) - infused with ruby powder and a triple blend of lightweight emollients for maximum colour intensity, an ultra-comfortable velvet touch, ultimate glide and sublime smoothness
#110
#104
#109

I am surprised anew when testing out modern-day matte lipsticks - the "matte" description is such a misnomer as it makes it seem like something that will be dry and lacking in any sort of shine - not the case with these as you can see from the swatches! Also great is how moist and comfortable they feel on the lips and the scent, I can't quite put a finger on what it is - something fruity, watermelon maybe?

Three products that offer the perfect summer glow from the Lise Watier Sun Destination collection!

Sun Bronzing Powder - $39 - with shades that blend perfectly on the skin to imitate a sun-kissed look and can be worn over foundation or alone to highlight and enhance.

The nice part about having a couple of shades to blend is that it makes it very customizable and enables the colour to be as light or dark as you wish - that is of course if you are able to bring yourself to mess up the amazing sun design!
Sensationnelle Dry Oil - 98ml - $42 - with a combination of 6 precious oils: sweet almond, baobab, argan, cotton, plum and abyssinian - that deeply moisturize, nourish and soften the skin, body and hair. With a quickly absorbs, dry formula that gives the skin a satin and velvety finish that enhances your tan while adding a subtle vacation worthy scent.
Illuminating Bronzing Gel - 40ml - $30 - combines bronzing pigments with a pearly base for gorgeous skin and a glowing tan. With a lightweight texture that is light-reflecting and enhances the complexion's appearance as well as offers a radiant and shimmering finish that makes skin look younger and can be worn with or without makeup.

Available in stores now until the end of July.

Balmy for BB - Biotherm Aquasource BB Cream!

Biotherm Aquasource BB Cream - 30ml - $36 - with a lightweight texture that comes in 2 shades: Fair to Medium and Medium to Gold - charged with the deep hydration of Aquasource and all the beautifying benefits of a BB cream - for a total of 7 benefits in one little tube including:

deep hydration - enriched with ultra-moisturizing Lipidure + Hyaluronic acid in micro-encapsulated form to leave skin feeling smooth and soft;
illuminates - lends a luminous, radiant complexion to even the dullest skin;
evens - gives an even, natural, no-streak finish;
corrects - minimizes blemishes, redness and telltale signs of tiredness;
perfects - delivers flawless, light but discreet coverage all day long;
smooths - leaves the skin feeling smooth durably;
and protects - with SPF 15 to protect against daily UV rays.

I like the texture a lot and how comfortable it feels on my skin but I'm not happy with the Fair to Medium shade - if you are fair and like to add a bit of colour then you will probably be fine with it but I like my base products to match exactly so it just makes me feel like my face looks dirty - I am hopeful that Biotherm will bend to my will and come out with a shade that is just Fair - are you listening Biotherm?!

Available now at Biotherm counters across Canada.

This week I'm obsessed with... Mary Kay Translucent Powder!

Picking a translucent powder seems like it should be a no-brainer - it doesn't have a colour so how can you go wrong? As someone who has purchased her share of bad translucent powders, believe me you can - bad powders look white and chalky on the skin, feel gritty and have no staying power - so I am always happy to find one that is the opposite of all these bad attributes such as:

Mary Kay Translucent Powder - $18 - with a long wearing, oil and fragrance free and ultra-fine formula that eliminates shine so that makeup looks fresh all day while still feeling weightless and soft on the skin.

It produces an invisible, oil-controlling finish that my combination skin especially appreciates as well as containing light-scattering properties, designed to diffuse light and create a soft focus effect that diminishes the appearance of fine lines.

Good for all skin types even sensitive and no mussing around with colour matching - one shade really does fit all!

Available through your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant - if you don't have one you can locate one at - www.marykay.ca or 1-866-455-5454.

Mascara Monday - Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara

Maybelline New York The Falsies Big Eyes by Volum’ Express - $10.99 - a dual-ended false lash mascara that lets you obtain a full 360 degree lash effect for big eyes and an even bigger impact!

With a larger multi-dimensional twisted brush for top lashes - to push up and fan out lashes and a super soft mini brush for bottom Lashes - to magnify every tiny lash without clump or mess.

The 10% polymer formula offers super-hold power that never smears, smudges or flakes even on the lower lashes.

Such a great lengthener and definer - exactly what I look for in the perfect mascara all you need is 2 coats for a fluttery, false lash look!
But it's not meant to be a volumizer - I tried using multiple coats on the right eye here to force some volume but it just ends up looking clumpy

Also love the little brush for the bottom lashes - I don't usually bother hitting them much because I always end up with mascara on my skin - but so not a problem with the tiny brush!
Good lift and no clumps!
