Wardrobe Essentials workshop with Dior! And an Urban Ballet….curious? Read on.

I know I already did a video on this but I thought I would give you a better look at the products that I purchased.  I took a page from Alicia over at FunnyFace Beauty blog and let Mother Nature provide the perfect contrast! I feel that the snow really lets the shades ‘show.’  Some of these colors (well only the lipstick really) are from the Spring collection BUT never fear, I will certainly take the mono eyeshadows over to spring and maybe summer!

Gift idea for the beauty in YOUR life- essence twilight breaking dawn collection

Okay let me start by saying I am not a fan of the twilight series.  But honestly, these products were just too good to pass up.  Here’s what I was able to pick up the day after I first saw the collection at the drugstore.  The collection was SO picked over this was all I was able to get:

from Left: 01 Renesmee red blush, 02 Renesmee red lipgloss, 01 alice had a vision again lipgloss, 01 a piece of forever lipstick, 02 Jacob’s protection glitter eyeliner, 01 alice had a vision again glitter eyeliner

Like I said, while I am NOT a fan of the movies/books, this collection screams “Wear me for the holidays!”  And since the prices range from $1.99-$3.99 CAD for each piece, I couldn’t resist.  I am using these for my holiday looks!

If you have a twilight fan in your world and you’re at a loss for a Christmas gift, I HIGHLY suggest these….that is, if you can still find them.

L’Oreal Paris Red Carpet Styles! Looks like I’m the last person to post about this!

 

No flashy title needed because the pictures are going to speak volumes.   I’m all kinds of excited for what L’Oreal Paris has up their sleeves!   I’ll also post some photos from the Red Carpet Styles Event I attended in early September.  Take a peek:

Loreal’s  1st Self Adjusting BB Cream cream in Canada, Magic Skin Beautifier, with Beautifying Beads that instantly self-adjust to your perfect shade for a flawless nude look. It delivers multiple beautifying actions: hydrates, corrects, evens and perfects. 

Experience 5 complexion-perfecting benefits in one simple step. The Youth Code™ BB Cream Illuminator instantly evens, illuminates, perfects, moisturizes and protects skin. In one week, tone and texture are improved and skin is healthier looking. Contains broad-spectrum SPF 15. Available in 2 shades.

Make way for the new generation of sensual colour – Colour Caresse by Colour Riche in 12 luminous shades. Formulated with 50% less wax than traditional lipstick, the revolutionary Lightfeel System delivers a feather-light finish that’s never sticky or heavy. No one caresses your lips like this.

The future of eye shadow is here! La Couleur Infallible reinvents eye shadow with enhanced color intensity, a new velvety feel, and 24 hour long-lasting hold.

This lightweight cream helps transform the look of aging skin by working both the skin’s surface and the upper layers of the skin to repair, re-densify and re-firm the look of skin.

Elnett Satin Lumiere Hairspray delivers brilliant shine with a new ultra strong hold formula.  Loreal’s patented light micro-reflectors create an invisible veil at the surface of the hair to capture the surrounding light.

Hair Expertise Nutri-Sleek Precious Oils nourishes the hair fiber and helps to protect it against daily aggressors such as over-washing and over-styling with heat appliances. 

Superior Preference’s new packaging features a new couture look along with consumer-friendly packaging and easy-to-follow instructions for haircolor!

From the event:

…and only because I have been asked, here is a photo of me in my dress.  I love this dress-it’s made by JAX:

And my hair by Romana of TONYC salon (if you want her info, please comment at the end of the post-she’s amazing):

I also took a photo of Sandra’s curls because I was pulling on them as soon as I saw her (she is makeupjunkie19):
