Suites for celebrities are all well and good but those wonderful folks at
Shoppers Drug Mart beautyBoutique know that those covering TIFF desperately need some pampering too!
On hand were Stila Professional Makeup Artists and beautyBoutique by Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Experts to create red carpet ready looks; Lash applications by DUO Professional Eyelash experts; Ceramic Glaze manicures and St. Tropez custom skin finishing treatments by Celebrity Tanning Expert Sophie Evans (and if you haven't checked out the
St. Tropez Self Tan Luxe Tanning Oil yet, you really should)!
Also, for the first time
Phyto Paris was part of the suite with Chicago-based celebrity hairstylist and Phyto Artistic Director Anthony Chistiano and his team of experts providing hair styling and consultations. Sadly Anthony wasn't around when I was there but one of his talented team members turned my rather frizzy, heat ravaged hair into a smooth, sleek bob in under 10 minutes. And to get the whole mess under control she recommended I start using:
Phyto Phytokératine Extrême Exceptional Mask - 200ml - $54 - a regenerative treatment for ultra-dry, brittle, and damaged hair that works to repair and transform hair instantly and over time. With a sumptuous, melt-in formula that envelops each hair fiber in prodigious nutrition, restoring elasticity and strength to renew hair with ultimate softness, suppleness, and shine while it increases manageability and detangles for smooth, lustrous strands.
Rodial was providing prep and prime facial treatments which led to a nice chat about my favourite Rodial product:
Rodial Bee Venom Super Serum - 30ml - $200 - a concentrated skin-perfecting serum that illuminates and revitalizes skin. Containing Bee Venom that works in synergy with a unique complex of plant stem cells and Cyclopeptide-5 to help correct skin tone and plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while bio marine collagen 6 helps to enhance skin elasticity and MariMoist provides immediate and long-lasting hydration for a radiant complexion.What's nice about it is because it is a very light serum, you don't need to sacrifice your beloved moisturizer, it easily layers under it giving you all the benefits of the serum without making your skin feeling overloaded with product!
Marc Jacobs too the opportunity to introduce their latest fragrance:
Marc Jacobs Decadence - a sophisticated, sensual and sultry scent that combines
top notes of succulent Italian plum, golden saffron and velvety iris; a heart of Bulgarian rose and creamy nuances of jasmine; and a base of vetiver
and warm papyrus woods - in the cutest bottle that wittily evokes a Marc Jacobs
bag.
You can't smile at celebrities without pearly whites and luckily they can be easily achieved thanks to
Luster White,
an at-home teeth whitening system
with painless products guaranteed to whiten teeth up to six shades in
less than one hour over the weekend without sensitivity.
Available is the
Luster Pro Light Teeth Whitening System - $59.99 - that uses the same
technology as dentist's light treatments;
Distinctly White Dual-Action
Whitening System with the mouth rinse and whitening gel (basically the same deal as the Pro Light System without the light, doesn't work as fast but it's half the price at $29.99); and Luster
Now! Instant Whitening Toothpaste.
Hopefully I have now had enough pampering to last me until next year!
- Lisamarie -
Melting snow, crocuses and longer days are all signs that spring is on it's way but the real harbinger of spring for me is the arrival of the new Daisy fragrance from Marc Jacobs that appears in stores every year around this time....
