Oil Play: From Top to Toe, Botanical and Essential Oils for Supple Hair and Skin

8 February 2010

Part of our new determination to take a more natural approach to beauty is a renewed interest and trust in good-for-hair-and-skin oils. We’re talking botanical oils such as argan, avocado, olive and grapeseed, and essential oils such as rose, lavender and rosemary.
Although all the above-mentioned oils are technically botanical, essential oils are a specific class [...]

Enter to Win!: Ombra Bath & Body

30 November 2009

Ombra is an under-the-radar brand I remember periodically because the Citrus Sage body wash made my shower a happy place a few years back. Honestly, I’d probably think of it more often if the packaging were decor-friendly. Oops?
Of German origin, Ombra’s been available in Canadian drugstores since 1983. Its biodegradeable formulas, made with essential oils [...]

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub: Upper Canada Soap Ultimate Body Sponge

11 November 2009

While we’re on the subject of shower companions, might I suggest the Upper Canada Soap Ultimate Body Sponge? Not your average shower-gel pouff, the Ultimate is a dual-personality type. One side is — okay, your average shower-gel pouff. The other, however,

Bath Buddy: Joe Fresh Hits the Showers

10 November 2009

I’m functioning on rather less sleep than I should be. Again. Makes getting up ’n’ at ’em a bit of a trick, especially when we have a max of what feels like only four hours of daylight this time of year, even with the sweet warm reprive we’re enjoying. Does 6 pm feel a lot [...]

Manly Grooming: What Women Want (and What Depends on Your Personality)

29 October 2009

Oh, like I need an excuse to put an image of Clive-O up. He doesn’t appear to have any grooming issues. *swoon* But if you know of a fella who is having grooming issues, this might help him understand what he ought to be doing and why:

F is for Family Man: Clive Owen and The Boys are Back

2 October 2009

Only Clive-O could get me to see a movie guaranteed to spark some kind of eye drizzle. Anyone who knows me knows I do not like emotionally challenging films, anything that prompts outrage or distress.

Love Potion: Physician's Formula Plump Potion Lipstick in Mauveberry

12 March 2009

I know. Another shot of my mug. Blame my friends. They loved the lipstick (yes, lipstick again, not gloss!) I’m wearing here.

Blush Brush: Clinique Quick Blush-and-Brush

9 February 2009

The last thing I need is encouragement to do my makeup enroute to appointments (don’t worry, I don’t drive). But darnit, Clinique just made blush on the go easier with Quick Blush.

Wakey Wakey: St. Ives Energizing Citrus Body Wash

3 February 2009

This morning, finding the start of a new roll of paper towels took me seven minutes. When I was making coffee, I forgot where I’d put the carafe after filling it just seconds before.

Oil and Water: L'Occitane en Provence Grape and Almond Shower Oils

15 December 2008

What took me so long to discover in-shower oil body cleansers? No matter. I know about them now.
As do my favourite oil facial cleansers, L’Occitane en Provence shower oils ($24 CAN/$22 US) lather up on damp skin and rinse off cleanly to leave skin soft and the tub — er — un-slippy.
I’m partial to [...]

Take the Waters: VitaminWater for Busybusybusy Times

27 November 2008

Used to be the answer to “how are you” was “great,” or the more low-key Canadian “okay, thanks.” Ask the question these days and the answer is “crazed,” “insanely busy,” and “omigodoverwhelmedwhyareyouwastingtimewithstupidquestions.”
It’s a good time to try glacéau VitaminWater. I first heard of it when my friend Laura wondered how much I could bring [...]

17 November 2008

If you’re a neutrals girl (most of us are), makeup for your holiday shindig can be as easy as polishing your day look with a golden sheen on cheekbones and gold or rich red on lips.
Keep makeup simple with a shimmering nude or soft gold shade on lids and a deep brown or black [...]

Minty Gloss Addiction: Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazemint

22 October 2008

Is it wrong that I’m in the L’Oréal Fashion Week Media Lounge writing about my new addiction to Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazemint lip gloss? My staff is outraged, I have to say. Ack, she’ll get over it soon enough.
Sheer, unsticky, delightfully minty and comfy to wear, at $6.99 CAN/$4.99 US per, CG Wetslick Amazemint glosses [...]

A Good Oil Slick: Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel (plus Dermalogica PreCleanse and Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil)

23 September 2008

I like to rub oil all over my face, really massage it around and around and around. Oh, it feels soooo good. Then I like to wet my hands and rub them over the oil on my face. Nice. After that, I rinse thoroughly, follow with my Dermalogica Age Smart Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, rinse and [...]
