Have you ever tried to find that perfect nude lipstick shade? I have and can never get it right - It's always either too beige, too pink or just blah. L'Oreal has solved this problem by developing the Colour Riche Made For Me Naturals collection - 7 nude shades that harmonize with every women's colouring.
Working with hair-colour-based makeup branding, the Made For Me Naturals are broken into four groups: Blondes, Light-Brown, Brunette, Chestnut-Brown.
Nude Pinks (Blondes)
Taffeta
Nude
Nude Mauves (Chestnut Brown Hair)
Sienna
Organza
Nude Rose (Light-Brown Hair)
Cashmere
Nude Browns (Brunettes)
Silk
Dune
My friend Rowena and I were looking at the entire collection and were able to easily decipher which were the correct shades for us. I have light brown hair so I am Cashmere. Rowena is darker skinned so Organza and Sienna are for her.
I cannot tell you how pleased I am that my perfect nude lipstick hunt is over.

Long Term Relationship is for those gals with long locks. Having long hair can be quite the love/hate relationship - can't it? I have NEVER been able to grow my hair longer than chin length - after that it looks terrible and drives me nuts! This trio has been developed to allow women to make the ultimate commitment to their hair, by helping them grow it as long as they want. Could this possibly mean the end of split ends and breakage?
Infused with a velvety blend of red raspberry and satin extracts, and formulated with high levels of hydrators, the collection will leave hair soft and manageable, in addition to providing protection from split ends and damage.
Though I have short hair, I did of course try the products and I liked them very much. What I love as much as the contents of the bottles are the bottles themselves � you have to go to your local drug store and read the back of one of these containers. Herbal Essences do a really good job at making the write-ups on their products delightfully witty - one cute quip is It'll Give you a Rapunzel Complex.
Here is the Long Term Relationship lineup:
Shampoo
Provides two times more protection against damage
Conditioner
Moisturizes every inch of the hair to leave it sensually soft
Leave-in Split end Protector for Long Hair
Detangles and helps strengthen long hair against split ends and damage

P&G Beauty recently released their new line of body washes - Pure Divine. As a sister brand to the popular Gillette Venus razors, the Moisturizing Body Wash and Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash are here to assist us gals with keeping our entire body silky smooth and soft.
Boys, hands off - these jewel toned, feminine bottles contains scents only for us goddesses: Paradise, Waterlilly and Blossom:
- Paradise is an exotic fragrance with notes of mandarin, coconut and lily-of-the-valley
- Waterlily is a classic, fresh, romantic fragrance with notes of peony, jasmine and sweet vanilla
- Blossom is a lush, watery, sophisticated floral with notes of crisp pear, passion fruit, juicy pineapple and blackberry
The Moisturizing Body Wash contains two visible ribbons or "waves" that separate the cleanser from the moisturizer - one wave cleanses and wraps the body in fragrance and the other has moisturizers to nourish the skin, creating a smoothness that lasts from morning till night.
The Exfoliating Body Wash cleanses the skin and gently with its luxurious lather and sweeps away dull, dry skin, making it perfect for use before shaving.
I was in Paradise when I tried Paradise! I just loved the gentle fragrance and the feel of my skin after using both products.

A gentle, non-abrasive exfoliation treatment to thoroughly remove dulling surface debris, dramatically improving skin texture. Alpha hydroxy Lactic Acid, beta hydroxy Salicylic Acid and natural fruit enzymes detach dead skin cells, helping to stimulate skin renewal. Conditioning botanical extracts and humectants soothe the skin and combat dryness. Fragrance free.
This is a very gentle exfoliant mask that really works wonders on my skin. I wash my face and smooth a good layer on and ten minutes later my skin is glowing, smooth and clogged pore free. I use this once a week. Downfall is that it is very pricey.
Where to buy: dermstore.com, pelle.ca, local spas

Avon is bringing haute couture to your door this October with the luxurious new fragrance Rouge.
Rouge is the world renowned designer, Christian Lacroix's first fragrance and has been created exclusively for Avon. Lacroix states "I consider every woman to be a red carpet star; nothing gives me greater pleasure than celebrating their individuality, inner spirit, seductiveness and loves."
This bold floral scent contains:
Top notes of Red Wild Peony, effervescence of orange peel and White Pepper.
Middle notes of Osmanthus Flower, Japanese Plum Blossom and Spanish Carnation.Base notes of Patchouli Heart, Cashmere Woods and Skin Musks.
I was not sure quite what to expect but I found Rouge to be warm and lovely. I absolutely adore the bottle and how the sunlight highlights the beautiful pattern. The pattern on the bottle was inspired by an ornate bull fighting cape Christian Lacroix received as a gift and subsequently incorporated into a haute couture dress. He was so moved by the pattern on the cape that he incorporated a similar design on the bottle of Rouge.
Rouge will be available in October.

I have to admit I am a perfume snob and I will only wear Chanel. This may change though...I received a sample of Hampton Sun's signature fragrance Privet Bloom and truly love it!
"With our first foray into the fragrance arena, we wanted to develop a unique product that spoke to our core inspiration - the beautiful beaches of Eastern Long Island," said Salvatore Piazzolla, President and Co-Owner of S&G Hampton Sun. "In Privet Bloom we were able to capture the essence and energy of the Hamptions."
The name for this new fragrance came from the 'privet' hedges that are synonymous with the Hamptons. Privet Bloom is the perfect fragrance for summer with its soft, clean floral scent. Featuring top notes of lemon verbena and bergamot and includes the aroma of delicate muguet, jasmine, linden blossom, gardenia, orangeflower and dune rose.
Privet Bloom can be ordered online or found at several beauty boutiques all over the US. For a list of stores click here.

Yesterday I used for the first time Kenzoki's Milky-Rice Body Scrub. This soft rice pudding-like product contains rice plant water, rich in mineral salts, essential oils and trace elements that left my skin feeling soft and silky smooth.
Milky-Rice Body Scrub smells like a dream with the scent of rice steam and envelopes your skin with its soft fragrance. After my shower I decided that I did not need to apply my usual perfume as I smelt so good!
In addition to loving the product I have to give Kenzo kudos for their packaging design. This white opaque and pink container is modern in very visually appealing.

Recapture Youthful Radiance with Olay's Latest Body Wash
Olay recently launched the new Olay Body Wash plus Radiance Ribbons, the latest in the Olay Ribbons Body Wash line. This creamy green and white cleanser offers advanced moisturization and helps skin recapture a youthful glow in only five days.
How does it work? It contains glucosamine complex formulated with N-acetyl glucosamine and luminous brighteners. Interference pigments found in the formula help improve the skin's ability to reflect light for glowing, great looking skin.
I have been using this body wash for the last week and love the way my skin feels - soft, lubrcated and it does have a nice glow about it. I have used other Olay Ribbon body washes and I am fascinated at the dual stream "ribbon" technology and how those ribbons are so perfect in the tube. At only $5.99 CAD/$4.99 USD (10oz/295ml) you cannot go wrong with this product.
