If you're like me, you have a bi-polar addiction to perfume. My nose loves all sorts of scents and my heart loves it when my current bf tells me that I smell so good. Both of these cause me to spend alot of money on perfumes. But...my head..*sigh*...does not share the same love affair I have with perfume.
More often than not, my head wins the battle by thanking me for the schpritz of perfume with nasty crippling migraines that protest the use of any vaguely aromatic. Then I discovered DKNY Be Delicious. Like with all addicts, you will try and try again to make your habit work --and I'm glad I kept insisting and found this one. It's light, fresh, a little fruity without being sicky candy sweet. It is clean and not heavy with musky tones. Most importantly...for whatever reason, does not cause me to suffer everytime I use it. I would highly recommend it normally - because it smells really good. But if you're like me, and migraines are preventing you from feeding your addiction, I would highly suggest you try it. Maybe it will work for you too!

I am a mascara junkie. There...I admit it. I have spent an inordinate amount of money on mascaras over time, and by far, one of the best ones on the market. The real deal.
So I admit that I have longer than average eye lashes already and women comment on them all the time. Before you judge my lash-endowment and my ability to really judge a mascara given my natural advantage...note that although long-ish, they are not thick and have been getting thinner and thinner with each passing year *snif snif*.
No matter...this mascara helps to make them look so thick with dark rich colour that I have had many ask if they were fake. It has a nice large brush and applies pretty smoothly. Also, an important factor for me, is that it doesn't smudge and yet somehow manages to come off pretty easily with some make up remover without tearing out half the precious lashes I have left.
My only tiny complaint is that I find the tube itself dries out faster than other mascaras, forcing you to buy a new fresh one sooner than you would with other brands. I've justified to myself that this is ok...because really we're not supposed to keep mascaras forever anyway. In the meantime, just make sure you close it tightly.
Yes, its pricey. It's true. But hey, if you're curious about this product, just use your Shoppers Optimum points to get it free like I did. Then once you've tried it, you won't mind paying the price for it. Honest!

I went to this store on the recommendation of a friend - who just happens to be a very well-endowed woman...just like me. So I thought I would share my thoughts for all your big-boobied girls out there since, if you're like me (42DDD), you know how few options there are to find bras in the city at a reasonable price. I usually resort to cross-border shopping as even stores like Addition-Elle don't tend to fit me well and frankly I find them costly for the small selection and quality.
On this trip, I was specifically looking for a sports bra because I work out pretty much every day, but can't for the life of me, even in specialty stores, find a sports bra that a) fits me without looking completely inappropriate and b) actually provides support with rigorous workouts. Due to lack of product, I basically wear two cotton bras combined for support.
Immediately I found the store welcoming. The staff approached me right away and almost on sight alone, was able to size me. I went in with little hopes of finding something that would fit and be supportive, but managed to do just that. The bra isn't pretty - but who cares? Its for working out! But its really supportive, and literally has adjustable army-grade velcro straps so that you can strap those puppies in...very happy about my purchase. Bought a white and black one at about $50 a piece. Completely worth it.
The rest of their lingerie does come in bigger sizes but it is true that availability is a bit of a problem. They may only get one or two of the larger sizes - so if you find something you like - this store is not one of those places you can walk away from and "think about" whether or not you want to get it. Chances are, it won't be there when you go back. But for women of size, there are lots of options and all at reasonable prices that rival Addition-Elle and the like. They also have bikinis, but alas not in my size...but they said it should be coming soon. Happy Day!
Definitely recommend to anyone.
