Belated spotting, but I love the simple beauty of this video. Where’s Megan Fox been lately? I miss her.

Topshop – Beauty

I’m going to keep referring to my time in Chicago (though it was just a few short days) because I had so many fantastic finds and so much dayom fun (oh, look at me, such a literary soul with my vocabulary).

I’m actually astounded by the quality and sheer fantasticness of the products. The eyeliner does have a hint of a funky smell (a little too unnatural if you ask me), but beautifully minimalistic with a marker tip. The concealer does a brilliant job and remains creamy and has tremendous coverage. Like.

Lise Watier’s Neiges @lisewatier

This was such a fun product to review – not only because of the packaging (okay, a lot because of the packaging), but because I feel like I’ve always had some sort of Neiges yearning for Lise Watier. This particular offering is the Poudre de Diamants, a lightly fragranced powder…endearing, light, and very bougie. While I’m mildly fearful of the mica (being the main ingredient – something that’s found in most mineral makeups…and something I suspect I’m allergic to), I haven’t yet had any issues with this bad one.

What do you think of this fluffster?

Glam Bag Gifts from @BenefitCanada

Benefit has always been a coveted brand for me – the brand is fun, fun-loving, gorgeous, premium yet unpretentious. That and it’s all based in San Francisco which is just the icing on the cake for me (love that city). Recently they did a blitz in Toronto, handing out these stunning bags (pictured above, and likely to be my new travel cosmetics bag) and making things very merry for ladies on the streets. Inside were three classics – Speed Brow quick set brow gel, the POREfessional, and Bad Gal lashes mascara, for full and beautiful lashes.

What do you think? Got glam bag envy?

Korres natural formulations, maximum results (to quip the byline). At first impressions? The products are a fragrant beauty. I snagged some anti-wrinkle anti-aging creams, eye cream of the same nature, body butter (incredible basil lemon – fresh and tangy), and wild rose face and eye serum. The products come in all formats – gels, creams, and rich butters.

The design? Stunning. I love the contemporary and bold visuals – it’s distinctive and appealing. Throw matte in there and you have a deal. Top that with glitter tissue and a craft bag, and that just puts it over the top.

Thank you so much to Tribal DDB for warming up my holiday spirit, these are a beaut!
