Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode Hairspray - 300ml - $32.75 - a multi-dimensional styling tool that gives flexible hold, workability, exceptional memory and can take heat and repeated brushing.

This week I'm obsessed with... The Body Shop Vineyard Peach!

In all honesty I think I can say that I've never met a peach that I don't like - the smell, the taste, the fuzzy texture and even the colour are all things I truly love about them. Up until now I would have said that my favourite peach-inspired product was The Body Shop's Fuzzy Peach line but now it has some competition -  

The Body Shop Vineyard Peach  - a new four-piece collection consisting of: Shower Gel - 250ml - $8; Body Scrub - 200ml - $19; Body Lotion - 250ml - $12; and Body Butter - 200ml - $19 - it's a different peach from the Fuzzy Peach - rather than being fully sweet, it's more like a tangy peach that smells totally delicious! The line also contains 9 different Community Fair Trade ingredients from all over the world so you can feel good about using it too!

Available in store and on-line now.

And if you're going to be going to one of the stores - try and make it one of the new Pulse Boutiques if you can - now open at Toronto Eaton Centre, Toronto; Mapleview Shopping Centre, Burlington; Masonville Place, London; Rideau Centre, Ottawa; Corner Brook Plaza, Corner Brook; Polo Park Shopping Centre, Winnipeg; Regent Mall, Fredericton; and a new location in Toronto Pearson International Airport.

They offer a whole new The Body Shop shopping experience which feels more open, brighter and more conducive to touching and testing anything and everything!

 If you don't have a Pulse boutique open near you yet, don't worry, more are due to open up next year!

Lancome Happy Holidays Collection 2012

Gold, red and shimmer are a necessity of any holiday collection as far as I'm concerned and apparently Lancôme agrees with me as that is exactly what is involved in the holiday collection that they've got coming up! Go ahead and have a good drool over these limited edition babies...
Petit Trésor - $39 - in 2 shades: S112 Fil d'Or and S207 Fil d'Argent - with a woven look like a lame fabric, it's almost too pretty to use but if you can bring yourself to do it you'll find a shadow enriched with golden glints that frames the eyes in a halo of dazzling light and for a more intense effect, can be applied with a slightly damp brush.
Les Paillettes Aux Yeux - $25 - in 2 shades: 10 A La Belle Etoile and 20 Lumieres de Paris - a shimmering loose powder that can be applied directly to the lids with a formula that instantly adheres to skin with a mother of pearl finish.
Also available for the eyes in the collection:
Le Crayon Khol - $28 - 016 France in a Glance - a gold metallic liner with a creamy, long-hold texture that glides along the lash-line.
Hypnose Star - $33 - 01 Noir Midnight - for perfectly plump  and deep black lashes.
L'Absolu Rouge - $35 - in 2 shades: 181 Topaze Extase and 183 Grenat Délicat - infused with coppery mother of pearl for luminous and radiant lips.
Vernis in Love - $16 - in 3 shades: 522 Bubbly Gold - white gold, 532 Ginger Swing - gold ginger and 575 Flirty Red - infused with golden shimmer

Available on-counter and online at Lancome.ca in November.

Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel Urban Rush - Don't Be Jaded, Art Orange and Lime Splatter swatches!

Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel Urban Rush Shades - $6.99 - in 7 new shades that dry in under 30 seconds: Rebel Rose, Lime Splatter, City Navy, Art Orange, street Beige, Smoky Plumes and Don't Be Jaded.

I usually find quick dry formulas really thin but these ones are rather thick which when combined with how fast they dried make them look kind of lumpy on some of my nails as you will see in the pics - I think when making my next attempt with these I will add a couple of drops of thinner first!

Available from your Avon rep - 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca
Don't Be Jaded - I won't be 'cause I love this shade!
Art Orange - a great spiced shade to carry your orange into the fall
Lime Splatter - I always think I'm going to like this shade when I see it in the bottle and it always just looks vomitous on my nails - this is definitely meant for someone with darker skin then me!

Mascara Monday - Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes

Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes - $8.99 - has a new one-of-a-kind Claw Brush that grabs and extends while reaching every corner lash as well as a collagen-infused formula that instantly plumps lashes for up to 8X the volume.
The brush has a curve to it which I find makes application easier.
It's an excellent lengthener and adds just the right amount of volume - which for me is some volume but not so much that it looks fake or clumpy.
But the best recommendation I can give it is that when I was wearing it, several people asked me if they were my "real" lashes!

Wen by Chaz Dean - same great results with amazing new formulas!

I first tried Wen by Chaz Dean last year and while I love the original Sweet Almond Mint formula, I know several of you mentioned that you didn't care for the smell - you're in luck as three new formulations with amazing new scents have been added to the range:  

Fig - with a rich, dense consistency that is the most moisturizing of the formulas and suitable for all hair types; Lavender - moisture rich with a formula enriched by the invigorating properties of lavender which stimulate the scalp to promote greater volume and is especially good for fine and thinning hair; and my particular favourite, Pomegranate - with a herbal complex that soothes and a botanical complex that nourishes for up to 40% less breakage and is recommended for all hair types - it still doesn't lather but it smells a little sweet a little tart and amazingly fruity!

Along with the Cleansing Conditioner - to clean and condition hair without sulfates to prevent damage and Re Moist Intensive Hair Treatment - to add moisture, body and shine to revive stressed-out hair - in the new Fig, Lavender or Pomegranate formula, each kit is accompanied by additional original Sweet Almond Mint products suitable for all hair types including a Sweet Almond Mint Styling Creme - a lightweight mulit-functional formula that works as a leave-in conditioner, gloss or gel, Sweet Almond Mint Volumizing Treatment - infused with botanicals and a superfruit complex to add body and shine and Sweet Almond Mint Texture Balm - provides definition, separation and texture.

Available now for $34.95 plus s/h for a 30 day supply or $104.85 plus s/h for a 90 day supply at www.NotShampoo.ca
