It's all about the legs and eyes with Mondor and Maybelline at Toronto Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016!

Mondor was at Toronto Fashion Week on Wednesday showing off their fall/winter line of fashion legwear.

 

With styles that ranged from sexy sheers...

 to funky patterns.

 

  And lots and lots of stylish leggings that also make great eatin' pants - not that any of these girls eat!

 

I was quite taken with the toe-less knee highs - finally a classy way to wear socks and sandals!

Maybelline's Lead Makeup Artist, Grace Lee was backstage creating the show's beauty look which consisted of seemingly bare and glowing skin, nude lips and dramatic eyes. The liner was thanks to Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Curvy - with a chunky, easy to grip applicator and a fat, sturdy tip that makes it easy to create a thick or thin line in one stroke - coming your way in July!

Until next Fashion Week - stay beautiful!

Go from the office to the office holiday party with glam and ease with some help from Secret, Sleek MakeUP and Avon!

Whatever idiot had the bright idea of holding the company holiday party on a Thursday night right after work should be shot - there's no time to go home and glam up so I count on a few key accessories to turn whatever boring outfit I wore to work into something a little more festive without having to lug around a change of clothes...

Add a little shimmer with: 

Sleek MakeUP Gold Standard i-Lust Palette - $11.49 - includes an array of shades to make eyes sparkle with tones of shimmery champagne, rich gold, metallic bronze and copper. Get creative with four silky shimmer powders (Laurent, Coco, Vera & Vivienne) and two rich cream formulas (Margiela & Louis) that are flattering on all skin tones.

Available online at www.sleekmakeup.com and they do ship to Canada for a pretty reasonable rate or if you buy $85 or more, shipping is free!

Add a little sexy with:

Silks Fishnet Control Top Pantyhose - $12 - offers a glamourous fashion statement while providing tummy slimming (very useful for the all-you-can-eat meatball bar). With breathable fabrics for extra comfort and hygiene along with a reinforced toe for more comfort.

Available at major retailers across Canada.

Add a little sparkle with:

Avon Nail Gems - $4 - includes over 450 individual gems with 12 different deigns in graduated sizes.

Nail Gem Applicator - $3 - a stainless steel, easy-to-use tool designed exclusively to apply Nail Gems.

If you're doing it at home and have lots of time then paint your nails with your favourite nail enamel, apply the gems to the wet polish using the applicator and seal with a top coat. But if you're doing on the fly at your desk - just use a couple of drops of nail glue to apply - they won't last you much more then the night without the top coat of course - but who cares, there's lots more where that came from!

Available from your Avon rep - 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca.

Extra layers no longer needed thanks to Boottights - a premium tight with a performance sock attached so your legs look amazing and your feet feel great all day long - they come in solid colours, fashion prints as well as a higher denier tight so there is a style to suit any outfit!

ShaToBu Get Fit Tights - $36 - touted as "the workout you wear" this might be just the kind of thing you are looking for if your Christmas turkey seems to be staying with you... It offers signature resistance band training technology woven into the waist to thigh portion -  so when you’re walking, especially up and down stairs there’s extra pull against the motion, requiring you to work harder as you step. As well, the panty part has a control panel to flatten and trim, and the waistband is extra wide so that it stays in place.

After all the turkey I ate I'll take any help I can get!  Available at select The Bay stores, boutiques and online at www.wshatobu.com.
