Rashida Jones at the Emmys
I am going to be dreaming about this dress until I can find my own version of it. Rashida Jones at the Emmys definitely goes on my best-dressed list because this dress is formal but too cute and it kind of matches her kooky kind of on-screen personality. I wouldn’t do a red lip with [...]
Swatches: Fall 2010 OPI Swiss Collection
Check out the swatches for OPI’s Fall 2010 Swiss collection. It kind of makes me want to play in the snow. But not really. My favourite colours are William Tell Me About OPI (kind of a dark purple though you can’t see it in this picture) and Ski Teal We Drop. I’m a sucker for [...]
Emmy Hair Style Bests
Another new trend that we saw at the Emmys this year was the wavy hair with crazy volume in it. I love it because it works with any length and texture of hair, though it does take the right products and a lot of effort to pull it off. I’ve had a similar look done [...]
By Kilian Love and Tears
For the past few weeks I have been wearing Love and Tears, Surrender By Kilian. This scent is a jasmine-based one and is listed as being unisex, though I can’t imagine any men I know wanting to wear it. That being said, the scent is not overly feminine either. This is not a big white [...]
Gucci Guilty Fragrance Trailer
Gucci’s new scent is called Guilty and it comes out later this year. The trailer stars Evan Rachel Wood and was directed by Frank Miller – it’s in the style of Sin City and a nice departure from the usual glam fragrance commercials we see. 1 1
How-to: Lea Michele At The Emmys
I adore Glee and Lea Michele because not only is she a talented actress, but her style is always flawless. Lea Michele’s Emmy makeup was amazing, and it was done by Melanie Inglessias for NARS. She said that “My inspiration was the era of the 60’s. I thought of Raquel Welch and Bridget Bardot: the [...]
Fall Calls For Some Darkness – With Swatches
If you’ve put the dark polish on hold for the summer, you’ve definitely got to bring it back for Fall. My two fave colours are from Zoya: Edtya and Kelly. Edtya is from the Wicked collection which is all metallic colours, and Kelly is a creamy grey from the Wonderful collection which is all creams. [...]
Emmy Hair Trend – The Pouf
One of the big hair trends this year at the 2010 Emmys was pulled back hair with a bit of a pouf. The volume, however, was not in the bun. Volume was at the front of the hair, while the rest of the hair was pulled back, making the entire style look almost like a [...]
Newtopia Challenges
So I went away for most of August, but now I’m back and it’s time for a Newtopia update! Before I left for my vacation, I had just reached the high end of my goal weight. I think I was only there for a day or 2, but it felt good to see that my [...]
2010 Emmys Best Dressed: Toni Collette
My best dressed awards for the 2010 Emmys is going to Toni Collette. Check out the watercolour-like art at the bottom of her dress. I adore that because it’s such a departure from the sparkly puffy prom-like gowns that were the norm this year (did anyone see Mindy Kaling?). I also love the colour of [...]
Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser
Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser is very similar to the Cetaphil cleanser. It’s super creamy, and has a nice mild scent, as it is fragrance free. This is mostly for those of you with dry skin, as it is soap free, and won’t strip your skin. Oily skin, tread carefully, and make sure you’re using a [...]
Principessa Cattiva Diva Silky Hand Cream Review
When I moved to Calgary, lots of friends recommended Principessa products to me. The company is a west-coast one so it’s really popular at little beauty boutiques in the area, and people especially seem to love their lip balm. Well, now I can say that I’m a convert too. I’ve fallen in love with Principessa’s [...]
