Caryl Baker Southwestern Beauty collection

Written by meredith / News / June 24, 2013

Southwestern Beauty from Caryl Baker for Summer 2013:

Country Strong eye colours:  vibrant to look at but leave a natural, sheer finish.

Desert Darlings:  City Slickers lip gloss are sheer colour plus super shine and contain argan oil to moisturize dry, chapped lips.

Lazy Daze: Sun baked Bronzer is soft and smooth powder that gives a glow with a smooth natural sun kissed finish.

Simply put, this collection reminds me of an Arizona sky and art shows  or outdoor markets that feature art with lots of turquoise and coral, influenced by the landscape.  Aztec-ish perhaps…..

This is the collection you wear with your favorite denim.  What you wear when you want to look pulled together but not overly ‘done.’ It’s fresh and up to date without being pretentious and heavy.

I adore this collection and the quality of Caryl Baker products is comparable to MAC (in my opinion).  I’ve spoken on these products in other blog posts/videos.  Another plus is that this is a Canadian brand so you are sure to have access to a boutique!  This collection is most definitely swatch worthy so be sure to take a look.

Gift idea for the beauty in your life-Dior Grand Bal Makeup Palette for Glowing Eyes & Lips

Written by meredith / News / December 03, 2012

If you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time and watched any of my YouTube channel, you will know that I love Dior.  I have been drooling over this palette ever since I saw it online.  I picked it up during the Bay’s Beauty Gala. It’s everything I knew it would be…..and if you have a Dior lover in your life, go get it!

Dior fashioned this palette as a gold ‘clutch’ held together by a black eyeliner

It contains 2 gorgeous shimmery eyeshadows, 2 lip colors, and a black eyeliner.  It’s absolutely beautiful and anyone who loves makeup/cosmetics will love it!

I picked up my palette at the Bay’s flagship store on Queen Street, (but you can grab it at any Dior beauty counter)….so if you swing by, be sure to say Hello! to Anne and Yaffa the manager! They’re fantastic people and will get you set up with some beautiful gifts sure to delight your beauty!
