Fragrant Friday - L'Occitane x Pierre Hermé - Jasmine-Immortelle-Neroli and Grapefruit-Rhubarb

The L’Occitane x Pierre Hermé Collection has arrived for the holidays - inspired by a 20 year friendship between L’Occitane founder Olivier Baussan and pasty chef Pierre Hermé, and their mutual love of Corsica. They both revel in the sensory world and share a love and expertise of fine, authentic ingredients so collaborating on a fragrance was a natural progression. Baussan designed all the vibrant packaging while Hermé was responsible for creating two powerful scents using his nose and knack for bringing unique and unexpected ingredients together. 

Jasmine-Immortelle-Neroli - 75ml EDT - $65, 250ml Body Lotion - $32, 250ml Shower Gel - $22, 30ml Hand Cream - $12 - a floral and feminine fragrance for women with top notes of petit grain, pink pepper and lemon; heart notes of jasmine, immortelle, neroli and orange blossom; and base notes of amber, white wood and musk.
 
Grapefruit-Rhubarb - 75ml EDT - $65, 250ml Body Lotion - $32, 250ml Shower Gel - $22, 30ml Hand Cream - $12 -a soft, subtle unisex fragrance with top notes of grapefruit, rhubarb, lemon and cypress; heart notes of clove, nutmeg and lavandin; and base notes of cedar and vetiver.

I just love this fragrance - grapefruit is one of my favourite scents and the rhubarb makes it extra tart (which just makes me happy) while the spice notes add a exotic sweetness to it that keeps it from being overly fruity.

Also available in both scents is a Gift Set - $80 - including a full size EDT, Shower Gel, Body Lotion and 50g Soap and a Travel Set - $26 - which includes a 30ml Hand Cream, 12ml Lip Gloss and 50g Soap.

You can feel especially good when buying a gift set, with the purchase of one of these, or any L'Occitane gift set, $10 from the sale (up to $120,000) will go to Dress for Success, a great charity which helps outfit women in need for job interviews.

Available now in L'Occitane boutiques across Canada and online at on ca.loccitane.com.

Givenchy Teint Couture Embellishing Concealer

Givenchy Teint Couture Embellishing Concealer - $39 - in 3 shades: No. 1 Soie Ivoire, No. 2 Dentelle Beige and No. 3 Mousseline Halee - with a silky texture that glides easily onto the skin to hide imperfections and illuminate in one easy stroke thanks to its two-colour bevelled design.

One side features a universal pink, light-reflecting stripe that instantly brightens up dark circles, smoothing away the look lines and signs of fatigue - and can also be applied to the inner corner of the eye, the top of the cheekbones, the nose bridge and on the cupid's bow to brighten the face and give the complexion a healthy look; while the beige side corrects and erases imperfections.

If you are using both shades together around the eyes I recommend using a concealer brush to help blend the two colours togther and keep it from looking stripey!

Mascara Monday - Stila HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara

Stila HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara - $30 - with all-in-one volume, length, and curl for dramatic lashes.
With a smudge-proof and long-wearing formula with triple-pigments that saturate lashes with rich, virtually weightless colour with every added coat for a bold, volumized look. Formulated with a blend of soft, malleable waxes to keep lashes from feeling clumpy or crunchy, it allows lashes to go fuller than ever before.
The innovative wand features dense yet flexible, crimped fibers that work pull lashes up and out, coating every last hair letting you create bold, beautiful lashes.
The formula is pretty wet so be mindful when applying or it will end up smearing but I do prefer a wet formula for a volumizing mascara, it makes it much easier to add more coats without it getting clumpy!

Available at Murale, Sephora and select Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada.

L'Oréal Professionnel Pro Fiber - helps hair damage disappear, and stay gone!

L'Oréal Professionnel Pro Fiber is here for those of you sick and tired of getting a fabulous salon treatment that makes your hair look great, that is until you shampoo at it home, at which time the results are pretty much washed down the drain. Thanks to a revolutionary damage repair molecule those crazy hair-scientists were clever enough to come up with - APTYL 100, those disappointing days are over. Now with Pro Fiber, the APTYL 100 is not only deposited on to the hair, but is anchored deep into the fiber for long-lasting repair - and then reactivated again at home using the shampoo and re-charge treatment.

There are 3 collections that work on different levels of damage:

Revive - designed to resurface hair fiber and provide long-lasting care for slightly damaged hair from demi-permanent colour and mechanical damage caused by heat styling tools - scented with the brightness of citrus and the sweetness of honey.

Restore -designed to repair hair fiber and provide long-lasting care for damaged hair from permanent colour and/or highlights and mechanical damage caused by heat styling tools - scented with a blend of spice notes and a floral touch.

Recover - designed to restructure hair fiber and provide long-lasting care for very damaged hair from multiple permanent colour and frequent mechanical damage caused by heat styling tools - with a rich vanilla scent.

The at-home Pro Fiber routine promotes the long-lasting effects of the molecular complex APTYL 100 on the hair fiber. Each time you shampoo, the unique formula is reactivated - to leave hair looking as soft and shiny as when you left the salon!

Available in the at-home collections are:

Shampoo - 250ml - $27.50 - Revive: untangles hair leaving it healthier, as if resurfaced and feeling smoother and softer; Restore: treats damaged hair leaving it smoother, softer, shinier and easy to comb; Recover: leaves hair feeling extremely soft and silky from root to tip.
Conditioner - 200ml - $28.50 - Revive: instantly nourishes weakened hair fiber for hair that feels stronger, softer and looks silkier: Restore: damaged hair fibers are richly nourished to leave them feeling softer and smoother; Recover: relaxes and softens hair leaving it nourished and reinvigorated.
Mask - 200ml - $28.50 - Revive: revitalizes hair to leave it looking shiny and feeling light and soft; Restore: hair instantly feels softer, looks smoother, silkier and easy to comb and style; Recover: cots the hair fibers for an immediate sensation of deep treatment resulting in smoother hair with a silkier feel that is easy to comb.
Leave-In - 150ml - $28.75- Revive Serum-in-Gel - tips of the hair are instantly smoother and softness is restored; Restore: Emulsion of Serums - hair instantly becomes smoother from root to tip and ready for styling; Recover: Serum-in-Cream - hair length and ends are treated and become radiant.
Re-Charge - 6 x 20ml - $35.00 - use it in place of the shampoo every fourth wash to prolong the results up to 6 weeks.
Having experienced many times the disappointment of having a fabulous salon treatment that was basically washed away the first time I shampooed at home, I was excited to try the Pro Fiber treatment for myself and I visited Lisa at Mosaic Hair Group. I wasn't sure exactly which treatment program I needed but no matter, there's an app for that and Lisa took me through a questionnaire that quickly pinpointed my hair's particular issues and decided that we would do the Restore treatment in the salon but send me home with Revive home products because my hair wasn't super damaged and she figured that the salon treatment would be enough to bring it back to perfection - she was right - look at it - amazing!

At home I just wash and condition with the Revive products and every 4 washes I replace the usual  conditioner with a serving of Re-Charge and my hair still feels as soft as the day I left the salon, looks as shiny and is practically frizz free, even with this stupid weather! It's a very quick and affordable treatment to add to your regular salon visit - takes 10 minutes and costs $25 - $35 depending on hair length.

Available now at  L'Oréal Professionnel salons across Canada including Mosaic Hair Group - feel free to go see Lisa, she's great - at 325 Lonsdale Road in Toronto - 416-482-8899 - there is an Avenue Road location as well - check out their website at www.mosaichairgroup.com for more details.

This week I'm obsessed with... Skyn Iceland Arctic Face Oil!

Don't shoot the messenger but winter is coming my friends! I immediately start to see and feel the change in seasons with my skin. What is combination/oily in the summer becomes combination/dry in the fall and winter - and much like we start to layer our clothing, I also layer my face products. I don't like to wear a heavy moisturizer so look to a light product that carries a heavy moisture punch that I can wear under my usual moisturizer to save my skin from being a dry, flaky mess!

Skyn Iceland Arctic Face Oil - 30ml - $39.50 - a daily age-defying omega face oil that absorbs quickly and penetrates deeply to replenish natural moisture while sealing in round-the-clock hydration with 99.9% naturally sourced camelina oil that is cold-pressed to retain maximum nutrients and is composed of 9 essential fatty acids that are curative and rejuvenating for the skin as well as being a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory to soothe, calm and protect the skin; vitamin E - a powerful natural antioxidant that helps enhance skin's elasticity, tone and texture; and sunflower oil - a natural preservative.

Together they deliver powerful hydration, helping to repair and balance skin's lipid barrier while locking in lasting moisture. Over time, it smooths fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a softer and more youthful complexion.

Don't let the word "oil" scare you, this isn't an oily, oil - it soaks right in and leaves skin glowing - if your skin is dry or you have dry areas, go ahead and layer your moisturizer over it, if you tend more towards oily, use it on it's own! And if you have any extras left on your fingertips, don't waste it, it works great on flyaways and dry cuticles too!

H&M introduces beauty to their stores and I introduce my nails to H&M nail polish - with swatches!

H&M stores recently launched their beauty department in Canada and what a beauty department it is my friends! With hundreds of products that include makeup, nail polish, hairstyling and bodycare.!

There's such a staggering variety of products and shades that you will likely be overstimulated and not know where to look first - which was my issue - so I headed for the nirvana of colour also known as the nail polish section!

H&M Nail Polish - $6.99 - with dozens of colours to choose from I still couldn't resist the blues...
 Faded Myrtle
The Real Teal

They apply smoothly, have great colour and lasted almost a week without chipping - my only surprise was the price, not that $6.99 is that expensive for a nail polish but I did find many of the products in the H&M beauty collection were pricier then I would expect something from H&M to be - the lipsticks for example are $12.99 which is not inexpensive!

You can check out the beauty department  now at H&M stores across Canada.
