I’m late on posting the best products of 2010, and this year I decided that I would just list my 20 best products instead of a different best for every category. The reason is that sometimes you’re forced to pick a best, when there wasn’t anything remarkable in the category. All the products that I [...]
Strange Product: Benefit Prrrowl
I kind of love trying weird new products, wearing them out, and seeing what kinds of reactions I get. My new favourite is Benefit’s Prrrowl. It’s a creamy light pink gloss on one side, which truth be told, is kind of tame, but the other side has this holographic kind of duotone blue that’s sparkly [...]
Cute Sampler Set: Benefit Crescent Row
This season, Benefit has a limited edition set of its Crescent Row fragrances and it’s one of the cutest gift sets I’ve ever seen. Inside the box are 4 small versions of their Crescent RowScents, Eva, Rita, Carmella, and Lee Lee. The scents are Eau de Toilette format instead of Eau de Parfum, but even [...]
Highlight Like a Pro
With the dry weather upon us, I have to admit that I am looking for ways to add luminosity to my everyday look. Though I have supremely oily skin, it’s just not doing its dewy thing anymore so I’ve got to make up for that. I’m using and totally addicted to Benefit’s Girl Meets Pearl. [...]
Benefit All You Need is Gloss
I absolutely love Benefit glosses – they are my favourite this year because they’re not sticky and seem to have just the right amount of pigment. They kind of wear more like a sheer liquid lipstick rather than a true gloss because some of the colours don’t even have a lot of shine to them. [...]
Benefit Now Has a Shade For YOU!
I was perusing the Benefit website, and I saw that they’re now offering their Hello Flawless powder foundation in 15 shades instead of just the original 3! All I can say is: FINALLY! I know that when Hello Flawless first came out, I found the medium shade to be a little on the yellow side [...]
Chocolate Cherry
I’m loving cherry hued lipsticks this season, and I’m pulling out some brown smoky shadow to go with it. Together, the look is pulled together and dramatic – a perfect way to really usher in fall! This what I use to do the look (left to right): Zoya nail polish in Cheryl ($7), Lancome French [...]
Line Like a Pro – Eyeliner Tips
Do not be intimidated by eyeliner. I can tell you right now that I’m not an expert as for years the most adventurous thing I did was take a black pencil and rub it into my lower lash line. It has kind of become my own look because I can’t go out without doing this. [...]
Fall Trend – Strawberry Lips
If you’re wondering what shade of gloss or lipstick to pair with your blue or grey shadows, I have the answer. You must get a pretty strawberry or pink colour to adorn your lips. We’re not talking hot pink or anything neon here. We are, after all, in autumn, no? I am thinking of actual [...]
Benefit The POREfessional Review
Today was a properly hot day in Calgary which was nice because for the past few months we’ve had nothing but rain and hail. It was the perfect day to try The POREfessional by Benefit. It’s a Pro blam that they say reduces the look of pores and works as a primer and a touch [...]
