Not to take anything away from my love of everything Summer, I must admit that lush & cozy-looking autumnal hues such as these found in the NARS Steel The Show Fall 2017 Color Collection, are pushing all the right buttons. By the way, don’t let appearances fool you; this little grouping packs quite the elegant punch.
Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending an intimate breakfast to welcome UK brand Pixi Beauty back to Canada, where I not only got the scoop on several upcoming products but also had the opportunity to pick the brains of Amanda Bell, Beauty Global Colour Ambassador for Pixi. For those of you already familiar with the range, then I don’t need to tell you about some of their cult-fave icons (hello, Glow Tonic?) and if you’re not familiar, well read on to learn more about this brand from Amanda Bell herself (she’s so cool … and FUNNY!)
This Fall, NARS is introducing Velvet Matte Foundation Stick, a format that’s a first for the brand. Coming out the gate in an impressive amount of 20 shades, the colour range will definitely meet a wide variety of complexions but over & above that, is the utter portability of this product. Busy lifestyles have definitely met their … match.
I’m all about pampering: my face, my body, my nails, and most definitely, my hair. And while that form of pampering usually comes with a luxury price tag, I’m always open to trying out new & better priced products — especially if they deliver. So when I was approached to test out the Coconut & Macadamia Oil Collection from LaCoupe ORGNX, I actually jumped at the chance because, well … coconut. The fact that these products are also free of tons of nasty ingredients didn’t hurt the cause either.
Inspired by vivid pop culture, CHANEL has just released Neon Wave, a capsule collection comprised of four muted eyeshadows in the brand’s new formula, that act as the perfect balance for the four retina-searing nail lacquers. Once again, CHANEL has managed to surprise me (not easy to do, given the scope of products I see) and what’s more, is showing incredible foresightedness with this bold move. Oh, and let’s just say that this is the first time I’ve ever actually wanted to wear neon along my nails.
