Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

Gigi Hadid has parlayed her personal passion for makeup into a limited-edition collaboration with Maybelline - Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection - which features two distinct looks:

The New York Glam Collection incorporates the buzzing rhythm of New York with the perfect combination of trendy, stylish and grunge to effortlessly take you from looking sharp in you morning meeting to feeling sexy and city chic at night.

While the LA Glow Collection embodies the laid-back vibes of California with a beachy feel inspired by the warm shades of California's iconic sunsets to effortlessly take you from day to night.

Here's a round-up/pricelist of everything in both collections - as you can see, they are not selling at supermodel prices!

Gigi Fiber Mascara - $14.99
Gigi Wing Mascara - $12.99
Gigi Eye Shadow Palette - $16.99 - in Warm and Cool
Gigi Master Precise - $12.99 -
Gigi Lasting Drama Eyelights - $12.99 - in Warm and Cool
Gigi Primer - $12.99 - in Warm and Cool
Gigi BB Cream - $12.99 - in Warm and Cool
Gigi Strobe Liquid - $14.99 - in Warm and Cool
Gigi Eye Contour Brush - $12.99
Gigi Eye Shadow Brush - $12.99
Gigi Color Sensational Matte Lipstick - $11.99 - in 6 shades: McCall - light nude, Taura - classic nude, Erin - deep mauve with purple undertones, Austyn - warm orange, Khair - universal red, Lani - deep red with blue undertones
Gigi Color Sensational Matte Lipliner - $11.99 - in corresponding shades to the lipsticks

My faves from the collection - the LA Glow cool palette - beautiful shades with just the right amount of shimmer and the Khair lipstick - it really is the perfect red! The one thing I wish Gigi had done differently is the packaging, I'm not a fan of the flesh colour - it kind of creeps me out! :)

Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada starting December 5th while they last or if you want to shop now without the gratification of taking it home right away go to amazon.ca or walmart.ca for the pre-sale!

Celebrate a 100 years of beauty with Maybelline New York!

Maybelline New York celebrates a century of bringing innovative beauty trends to women all over the world - and what's an anniversary without a party which was hosted last week in Toronto by brand Spokesmodel and #ItGirl, Gigi Hadid. 

In a nod to the racing stripe on Hadid's white Smythe pantsuit, Maybelline New York Lead Makeup Artist Grace Lee penned a double-lined eye using new (July 2015) Maybelline Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil in Cashmere White and Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner in Black. Lashes were coated with Lash Sensational Mascara in Blackest Black and brows were combed through with Brow Drama in Blonde. Hadid's lips were topped with nude hue (Color Sensational The Buffs Lipstick in Truffle tease), keeping all focus on her gorgeous liner.

Maybelline is also marking this milestone with a 100 Year Anniversary limited edition collection of the brand's most beloved products including some exclusive shades and special packaging adorned with graphics inspired by the iconic New York City skyline.

The collection features: 

Great Lash Mascara Original in Blackest Black - $6.49, Great Lash Real Impact Mascara in Very Black and Blackest Black - $6.49, Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx and Espresso - $8.79, Eye Studio Color Molten Eye Shadow in Rose Rush and Stroke of Silver - $9.99, Baby Lips in Fuchsia Fix and Ra-Ra Red - $4.99, ColorSensational Lip Colour in Purposeful Mauve, Magenta-bulous, Strike a Rose, Coral Cocktail and Berry Chic - $9.99, Color Show Nail Polish in Gold Stunner  and Beyond Burgundy - $4.49

Available now at drugstores and mass market retailers across Canada.

The Maybelline product I remember really loving when I was young was Maybelline Kissing Potion - a roll on lipgloss with a super-fruity scent - I felt so grown-up wearing it!
