WEEKLY MUST-HAVE:
Arcona Pumpkin Lotion 10%

October 26, 2011  /  Comments (1)

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought a pumpkin post would be rather fitting. So, this week’s must have is Arcona’s Pumpkin Body Lotion 10%. 

Arcona is a fantastic natural skin and body care line (their cranberry gommage is next level amazing for the face) that was established in 1989 under the pretense that enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids should work together, in synergy, for optimum results. While the skin care is superb (and a must-try) we’ll save our face-gushing for another post.

This week, we’re obsessing over the Pumpkin Body Lotion, a lightweight regenerative cream made with pumpkin extracts and glycolic acid to …

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE:
Pacifica Color Quench Natural Moisture Lip Tint

October 19, 2011  /  Comments (0)

It’s no secret that I love me a tinted lippy. I’ve graced my mouth with Nivea’s Cherry Tinted Lip Balm ever since Labello went under. I’m also really into the “green” movement, with hair, skin, body and cosmetics, so you can imagine my excitement after trying the new Pacifica Color Quench Natural Moisture Lip Tint.

Although they’re not as pigmented as Nivea, they are definitely more hydrating, leaving a healthy tint to my pucker and, major bonus, they’re all natural! Free of sulfates, parabens and petrochemicals, even the most discerning mouth will welcome this lippy. It’s like the sophisticated, chicer version of your …

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE:
X Out Wash-In Treatment For Acne

October 13, 2011  /  Comments (0)

When I was a teen, I had Proactiv to get me through those embarrassing break-out years. Now, the teens have a product that, in my opinion, is even better: X Out Wash-In. Essentially, X Out is a three-in-one benzoyl peroxide treatment that acts as a face wash, a face mask and a zit zapper (ala spot treatment). And guess what: it comes from those fine minds that brought us Proactiv!

The wash is basically the entire three step original Proactiv treatment program bottled into one product. It has something crazy like 8% benzoyl peroxide (the ingredient in both the original Proactiv wash and lotion), …

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE:
Vapour Organics Elixir Plumping Lip Gloss

October 4, 2011  /  Comments (0)

Here’s a funny story. I have this lip gloss in my bag and I use it on almost a daily basis. The color is magnificent – a sheer plumish hue – and the formula is perfect – just enough shine without the stickiness, and a pop of plumpness for an added bit of rad.

So, I’m exchanging emails with this awesome makeup artist, Eric Sakas, as I’m researching the exact brand of my new must-have lippy. Now, here’s where the story gets crazy: The brand that manufactures the Elixir lippy is called Vapour Organics. Eric Sakas is the CREATOR of Vapour Organic Beauty! …

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE:
Clinique Lid Smoothie

August 5, 2011  /  Comments (1)

First Clinique launched the Lip Smoothie (which I became mildly obsessed with), and now they have officially launched the Lid Smoothie – a creamy, crease-resistant eye color that lasts for 8 hours (and I am majorly obsessed).

The first thing you need to know about the Lid Smoothie is that you can build the vibrancy of color you’d like by applying less or more of the formula. Second thing, it’s so easy to apply – either with a brush or your fingers (I prefer my fingers). Lastly, it blends effortlessly and smoothly and is great to use alone or under other shadows (like your …
