Beauty Crazed goes on the Leah Miller SYTYCDC dress watch!

We love it when you e-mail us but hate not knowing the answer to your questions - and I noticed that we were getting a lot of e-mails about Leah Miller, more specifically, what she was wearing on So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and that fell into the category of things we just didn't know!  So we set out to find someone who would be able to answer all of your burning questions and not only did the lovely Erika at CTV get me all the info on her past outfits, but she also offered to keep us updated going forward - so watch this space for your Leah Miller fashion fix!

We know that you are also loving her makeup and of course as the new face of Lise Watier, that is what she wears!

MAC and alice + olivia - a hip + happy collection that will make my wallet empty + sad

Those sadistic geniuses at MAC, deciding that they hadn't sucked enough money out of me from To the Beach, have cleverly put together another collection that is calling my name.  A collection that they themselves have labeled irreverent and nonsensical - how can I say no to that?!  Designer Stacey Bendet of alice + olivia fame got together with MAC to come out with a collection to please the colour addict in us all!  And if MAC wants to save me some time, they should just deliver the whole collection directly to my house and send me a bill!

Pigment - $23.50
If It Sparkles - frosty white plus a touch of transforming pink pearl
Later - deepest black with a hint of transforming purple pearl
Partylicious - groovy turquoise mixed with silver sparkle

Dazzleglass Creme - $21.50
I.Want.Candy - electric yellow with a sparkling edge
If It's Pink - shimmering, hot to trot pink with soft multi-dimensional pearl
Sparklicious - creamy, softest pink with multidimensional pearl

Nail Lacquer - $14.50
Military - black matte with silver suede pearl
Morning.After - creamy, get-noticed turquoise
So Rich So Pretty - a party-ready purple with pearl

Coming your way on July 8th!  I wouldn't wait around on this one I predict a sell out!

1-800-Got-Shoulder-Pads?

I'm not a fan of the shoulder pads trend (à la Lady Gaga) by any mean, but there are cute ways to wear them this season. Since many of you seem to have a fascination for Rihanna's dress from her latest "Russian Roulette" video, here is a  quick overview of similar dresses - and they are a LOT cheaper than her Balmain gear.

This first dress above is from the american brand Alice+Olivia for $264 (available online or at Barney's or Neiman Marcus in the US)

This grey Mango dress retails for $119

Zara

From Zara lookbook

Now, with Zara -and Mango to a certain extent- remember: these guys change their styles quite often in their stores and their stocks may vary from one country to another. The two outfits here may not be available just yet, so keep on checking. I will try to find out the availability from Zara.
