We can’t wait for summer, can you? But just because the sunny days aren’t out in full force quite yet doesn’t mean we can’t look like we’ve spent the day at the beach—without the premature aging after-effects of too much tanning! That’s why we’re engaging in some early summer loving with products from the new [...]...

The beauty rule that we hear the most often is that you should play up your eyes or your lips, just not both. By focusing on one feature you play up your own natural beauty and create a focal point. This spring people are embracing the bold lip, and finishing off with mile long lashes. MAX Factor has the perfect combo for this look: Vivid Impact Lipcolor and 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper mascara.
The pure pigments, creamy texture and eye-popping colour of Vivid Impact Lipcolor will have you hooked. This line made its first appearance on the runways of New York Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Week and has been gaining admirers ever since. We just love the rich formula that contains shea butter. It acts almost like a lip balm and keeps our mouth soft and kissable.
Compliment bright lips...
Try something fresh for spring from the The Body Shop’s new Roseflower makeup collection. Innovative textures, pretty colours and a soft rose scent are present throughout the line. Skin caring ingredients are paired with Community Trade ingredients, like marula nut oil from Namibia and shea butter from Ghana, for excellent results. The rose-inspired packaging is so sweet that we want to show it off.
Roseflower Eyes in Sunshine Gold and Mint Green
Add a little bit of soft colour to your look this spring. The gentle hint of shimmer makes these palettes perfect for day or night.
Roseflower Blush in Pink and Fuschia
Delicate pink shades give you a healthy glow. A pop of colour on the cheeks is so important after a long winter. You’ll look instantly refreshed.
Roseflower Lips...
Smith’s Rosebud Salve is a cult-favourite with a history. This multi-purpose pot has been in production since 1892. It is perfect for moisturizing lips and cuticles, soothing irritations and burns, and relieving dryness. You can even use it to heal a nasty diaper rash or prime your eyelids for eye shadow.
The pretty pink hue, classic tin, reasonable price (about six dollars) and light, sweet scent have made it a go to product for everyone from celebrities to moms.
Now that is what we call beauty for less.

Heels give you height, confidence and help you appear more slender. The new Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara from Maybelline New York does the same sort of thing for your lashes. It lifts, defines and lengthens for a bold look.
The unique Grip and Extend brush gets hold of each lash to separate and stretch your natural length by up to 70 percent. Pro-vitamin B5 and silk protein strengthen, condition and give you a high gloss shine.
For the best results, sweep the brush from the root to the tip, while wiggling it slightly, to coat each lash from every angle. A few layers of this mascara will have you looking like you’ve got fake ones on.

Cover your imperfections and put your best face forward with a little help from Erno Laszlo.
Once you have applied your favourite foundation, try the Multi-pHase Concealer for Face and Eyes. It really camouflages those under-eye circles and facial spots. The creamy and smooth texture allows it to blend right into the skin, and can be worn under or on top of your makeup. Light reflecting properties instantly transform dark tones and leave you looking wide awake, which we love!
Girls with dry skin should follow up with the Duo-pHase Pressed Powder for Extremely Dry to Slightly Dry Skin. This treatment powder uses sodium hyaluronate and water to hydrate the skin all day long. The extra boost of moisture is great because you can actually feel it working.
These two easy steps will have...
