Take complete control of your unruly hair with the Kérastase Discipline collection!

Kérastase presents their newest line Discipline - the most powerful smoothing care they've ever created containing Morpho-Keratine - a groundbreaking molecule which has been infused into the hair care line to smooth hair and  provide proven anti-frizz and anti-humidity care for 72 hours.

Available in the collection are: 

Bain Fluidealiste Smooth-In-Motion Shampoo For All Hair Types - 250ml - $40 - gently cleanses while also supplying just the right dose of uniform, evenly distributed care without weighing down the hair for hair that is clean, soft, light and detangles easily.

Bain Fluidealiste Smooth-In-Motion Sulfate-Free Shampoo For Over-Processed Hair - 250ml - $40 - with a soft, creamy, pearlescent texture and a sulfate-free shampoo formula specially developed for overprocessed hair that provides a beautifully shiny, smooth, even finish from roots to ends.

Fondant Fluidealiste Smooth-In-Motion Care - 200ml - $45 - a creamy, fluid emulsion that conditions, adds shine and fights frizz to leave hair soft and tangle free.

Maskeratine Smooth-In-Motion Masque - 200ml - $59 - a highly concentrated mask for unruly, rebellious hair that when used once a week or as needed, hair is softened, replenished and puts up no resistance to styling.

Fluidissime Complete Anti-Frizz Care Spray - 150ml - $54 - contains a surface-morphing polymer, which forms a network over the fiber to tame even the most untamable frizz - can be used on wet or dry hair to .reduce friction, protect the fiber during styling and to discipline even the frizziest and most unmanageable hair.

The line is meant for unruly hair and works better on hair that is normal to coarse. You fine haired ladies (like myself) might find that the formula weighs down your hair too much and you won't get the soft, bouncy feeling that less fine hair will - it will be hard to pass up though, the smell is amazing!

Available in October at Kérastase salons and online at kerastase.ca.

Official NHL merchandise comes to The Shopping Channel!

The Shopping Channel is helping kick off the 2014/15 hockey season by offering a stylish selection of official NHL merchandise. With everything from clothing to collectibles to unique accessories, there is something for every hockey fan!

I'm happy to see that they have regular women's jerseys and have my eye on the - NHL Ottawa Senators Reebok Premier Ladies Red Jersey - $109.99 - and comes in Small, Medium and Large. When I bought my Senators jersey many years back I ended up having to buy a boy's one because a woman's one didn't seem to exist except in pink (I like pink but not for a hockey jersey for heaven's sake) and the men's ones were all too big. The boy's version doesn't fit right of course because boy's don't have boobs so it looks very boxy on me - so I am thrilled that there is now an easy place to find all of my Senators gear! 

I understand that they have all the other teams stuff too but I don't know why you would want that...

Find it all at The Shopping Channel - tsc.ca/NHL

Fragrant Friday - My Burberry

The newest fragrance from Burberry was inspired by a London garden after the rain and the affectionate way in which people refer to their Burberry trench coat - so basically it's an ode to their trench coat!

My Burberry - 90ml EDP - $135, 50ml EDP - $98 - a grand floral fragrance with an unexpected edge with top notes of sweet pea and bergamot; heart notes of geranium, golden quince and freesia; and base notes of rain-tipped damask, centifolia roses and patchouli.

The trench theme carries throughout - the honey colour of the juice is one of the trench's signature shades, the horn-finish cap echoes its distinctive buttons and even the hand-tied knot is made of English-woven gabardine - the same fabric invented by Thomas Burberry over 100 years ago!.

Available at Hudson's Bay, Holt Renfrew, Ogilvy, Nordstorm, Sephora, Shoppers Drug Mart, Murale and Jean Coutu.
