Staff is suffering from an attack of raging jealousy. If you haven’t heard, Big actor Chris Noth of Sex and The City and “The Good Wife” is the new face of Biotherm Homme in North America. I met him last week to chat about his association with the skincare brand as well as his approach and attitude to face care. Check tomorrow’s Metro News for the story and a round-up of look-better-stuffs-for-guys, including a couple of Noth’s favourites.
In the meantime, feel free to gaze longingly at this photo. Honestly, while I respect his work, I wasn’t a swoony, Chris-Noth-super-fan type before meeting him. But in person, his skin looks a-mazing — he wore no makeup for our talk. In fact, when we were introduced I blurted, “You look fantastic!” like I didn’t expect it (oops). He didn’t take it badly, and happily was comfortable with my taking a buddy photo post chat. In the very first snap, I got this. I don’t really care about my dorky hair or foolish grin because that sexy twinkle in Noth’s eye is killing me. (Just for you, the image has larger-than-usual dimensions — click on it once, then again when the screen changes to get the Big picture.) And yes — maybe you caught my tweets last week — this photo is my new desktop image.
I can’t even type any more. *swoon*
Biotherm Homme is available at drugstores and via biotherm.ca.
Ashley Koley, frontwoman for “a band comprised of two people: Ash Koley and Phil Deschambault” according to their MySpace profile, may not have known it in advance, but the very best thing she could have done is wear that lip colour during a performance at a press thingie two nights ago. First, it was a cocktail party to celebrate a new launch from Biotherm Homme as well as its new face, Chris Noth [geek on]
Staff’s freaked because this post has a Friday “F is for” headline and it’s Wednesday. She knew I was waiting for a related link to go live before publishing, but still she’s all jangly about it. She amuses me.
Anyway, I had some digi-camera fun last week, thanks to a Fujifilm FinePix F70 EXR model I was trying out. My first play session was Monday’s Philippe Dubuc campaign shoot on board the docked 730-foot Gordon C. Leitch freighter in Old Montreal’s quai Alexandria. And the above photo of Jesse, Taras and Shawn, [geek on]
Even now, into the second week of March and after a day of 13-degree-celcius pleasantry in Toronto, I’m a tad wary of making a Spring-is-here declaration. (I remember snow and hail in late April of the year we moved to Canada.) Perhaps it’s safer to say that if not now, soon? Either way, it’s a good time to buff away the last dry flakies and hydrate skin in prep for a warm-weather reveal. [geek on]
Despite what bronzaholic-commentator-designer Randolph Duke had to say about Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock’s choice of bright pink-red lipstick with her pale metallic Marchesa gown, [geek on]
Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, has made a bold move. “I would like to seduce women back into using lipstick again,” he says in the first video below. And to do it, he’s replaced the brand’s Rouge Hydrabase lipstick with Rouge Coco ($38), a new long-lasting moisturizing formula in a range of pretty hues and a luxe case made of lightweight metal rather than plastic.

Staff felt I needed to give you a heads-up about the publishing delay in today’s “F is for…” post, mostly because it gets her goat when I do a Friday F-is-for post on a Monday. For some reason announcing the intention will make her feel better. Me, I’m going along with the idea because it [...]
Is it wrong that my favourite part of this Montreal Fashion Week F/W 2010 is my beautiful new Charlotte Hosten necklace? Mine is the same style as these two above, part of the jewelry designer’s permanent prêt-a-porter collection, and it means I can now stock my wardrobe with
“The inspiration came from a Lady GaGa picture,” said Catherine Laniel, Creative Director of Makeup for Montreal Fashion Week in Collaboration with P&G Beauty, about last evening’s beauty look for vampy-sweet line Coccolily. “Eyes were very two-tone — white, black, very simple, and very precise.” In fact, that GaGa Flare cover served as reference on [...]
Last night’s Marie Saint Pierre beauty at Montreal Fashion Week F/W 2010 was about ice and shine. Denis Binet, Creative Director of Hair for Montreal Fashion Week and Consulting Stylist for Pantene, played off the soft-yet-structured lines of the collection (which he called “a step before haute couture”), and drew inspiration from the serpentine coils [...]
Yesterday was the first day of Montreal Fashion Week in Collaboration with P&G Beauty for Fall 2010, held at Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal. I played beauty spy at a few shows, testing out a new Fujifilm F70 EXR digital camera and checking in behind the scenes to see what Catherine Laniel, Creative Director of [...]
So you think the skincare you get from a dermatologist is better than the stuff you get from the drugstore, right? Well, maybe it is. Or maybe it isn’t.
Some skincare brands sold only through dermatologists do indeed contain higher levels of active ingredients. Some brands are exactly the same, sold by derms as well as [...]
