EGPR and brand partners were back again this year for the seventh season with the
TIFF Essentials Lounge at The Richmond in Toronto with a
one-day event that welcomes invited members of the media to experience pampering in
preparation for all the craziness of TIFF!
This is the week that there are a bunch of lounges but I must admit, I always look forward to and enjoy Essentials Lounge the most - the products and services are always new, interesting and most needed - and this year was no exception1
New to me was ,en's and women's activewear label
Colmar - known for their specially designed pieces for activities including golf and skiing as well as innovative and stylish all-round wear, the brand is loved for its carefully engineered and ultra wearable designs with Italian flair. With warm winter-ready quilted designs, sleek moto-inspired jackets and essential windbreakers made from premium natural and technical fabrics.
You get a really good feel for the reflective qualities of the jacket's technology when you take a flash pic!
I fell in love with the
Colmar Woman's Empire Research Down Jacket - $770 - super light and water repellent with technical fabric padded in down - to keep you warm while looking great! Available at
www.LiveOutThere.com.
The experts stylists from
KMS California were on hand to perk up humidity stricken hair - they had products for every hair type and issue you can think of including one that is my new fave:
KMS Free Shape 2 in 1 Styling + Finishing Spray - 174g - $24.95 - a heat activated shaping and finishing spray with a unique technology that creates smooth shaping with hot tools while at the same time holds like a hairspray to help create perfect curls or smooth straightened hair. Available at salons across Canada - check out
www.KMSCalifornia.com to find one near you.
Saucony known for their high-performance running shoes was showing off their lifestyle line - aka cute stylish shoes meant for everyday life that are hella comfortable!
Perfect for me because I believe one should only run if something is chasing you! I fell in love with these ultra-adorable
Life On The Run Jazz Original shoes - $95 - with a nylon/suede upper and a padded collar and tongue for ultra-comfort and a footbed that provides superior shock absorption, fit and extra comfort - and did I mention how cute they are?!?
And it was nice to see some old favourites too including
Thursday Plantation natural oils with my already beloved
Tea Tree Oil.
For Beloved One Melasleep Brightening Bio-Cellulose Mask - with a new formula developed to fight pigmentation in the skin and help skin look brighter.
And something my face never goes outside without -
SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50!
Smashbox was showing off their latest and greatest -
Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick - $28 - in 20 shades that offer eight-hour wear with a featherweight,
comfortable formula that stays put and keeps color looking as fresh and
flawless as the first swipe. I tried out a bright red-orange shade - Thrill Seeker - that looked fab!
Who wouldn't be hungry after all that? Luckily
Fully Loaded T.O. was on hand with a food truck full of nibbley goodness and although I was really curious to know how one would stuff a chicken wing full of mac 'n' cheese, I went with the buttermilk chicken tenders with thai sauce - delicious!
