The hair of the the Sebastian Professional Show for Fall 2010 in Mexico City can only be described as artistic architecture, some of it is wearable, some of it is not. All of it is a visual delight.

What I Have in Common With Charlotte from Sex and the City

N9Q25NY9DSGW

Sex and the City has always been a favorite show of mine. Do you remember the one where Charlotte was constantly staring at her pores in a high powered magnifying mirror? To understand the type of skincare addict I am you have to realize that instead of thinking Charlotte was being silly I decided this was a great idea, bought my own magnifying mirror and have been staring at my pores in it ever since, So it should come as no surprise that I'm always finding little things here and there to correct. Lately, despite my diligent  application of sunscreen I have been noticing the beginnings of a few dark spots on my fair complexion. Conveniently, one of my favorite makeover and advice sites Total Beauty.com had just run a survey of the top ten best skin lighteners and brighteners chosen by their readers. The readers overwhelmingly recommended Avon's Anew Luminosity Ultra. It seemed to give a lot of users good results in two weeks! I decided to give it a try. First off the price is great, I got mine on sale for $10 plus shipping and I'm told it's frequently on sale that's a fraction of what these types of creams usually cost. I'm three weeks into using it morning and night now and I have to say, I'm pleased with the results so far. At the two week mark I did notice a bit of a change and I was very happy that it happened to be mostly on the spot that was driving me the most crazy. I do feel like it gives my skin a nice glow as well and I was very happy that my super sensitive skin was able to tolerate the sunscreen in it with no irritation or breakouts, a rare thing for me. It also absorbs easily and is just as good under makeup as it is as a night cream so that's a plus. I only have two very minor negatives to say about it: 1) The Smell- unfortunately it's a very old school perfume-y grandma kind of smell that I've had to get used to. I tend to favor light fresh scents and  I use a lot of organic products that usually have a more natural smell. After about a week I decided it wasn't so bad though and now I actually really like the smell. 2) The Jar - This jar looks stunning on my bathroom countertop, however the elegant shape of it makes accessing the product more difficult. I feel like as I get to the end of the jar some of the product will be wasted and that's a shame.  Overall the negatives are not worth passing up such a good product and I have to say  I highly recommend it if you are trying to even out your complexion.

How Lady Gaga Does Air Travel

N9Q25NY9DSGW

We've all seen pictures of celebrities in airports jetting off to their next tropical vacation or film location, and while their outfits may have cost them a pretty penny,  nine times out of ten they really are just expensive sweatpants. We understand, we like to be comfy on our flight too and no celeb ever has to dress to impress in order to get bumped up to first class. That's why I always appreciate a celeb who enjoys a good old Hollywood glamour moment when embarking on a journey. Victoria Beckham has set the bar very high with her choices of travel ensemble, Posh knows a great photo op when she sees one! Well, Lady Gaga is never one to be outdone and on a recent trip to Narita, Japan she made the airport runway into a fashion runway ( See outfit in pics above),  her only carry on bag was a white Hermès bag with the handwritten words "I love small Tokyo monster, Tokyo Love" It may not be old Hollywood but it was a fashionista's dream come true. We'd love to see you top that, Posh!

LG Toronto Fashion Week- Rudsak Fall 2010

N9Q25NY9DSGW

Although Spring has only just sprung in the world of Runway it's already Fall. It's so very difficult to get excited about coats and scarves when it's warm and sunny out which is why I was taken by surprise when I immediately fell in love with Rudsak's Fall 2010 Collection. All the pieces manage to achieve something very difficult with cold weather clothing, that is, to make you look chic whilst still being weather appropriate. The black leather army style hats were my favorite. They were charming on the girls and sexy on the guys. Another highlight of the show was a guest modeling appearance by ET Canada TV personality Rick Campanelli who is pictured above.

Toys+ Makeup: Discovering a Glam Girls Inner Child

N9Q25NY9DSGW

 For most girls the relationship between toys and makeup is cemented into our brains at a very young age. Who can forget their first Hello Kitty makeup kit? I know I can't, after begging my mom for what seemed like ages but may have only been minutes, she finally gave in. I held it in my hand like a precious jewel knowing that opening it would mean I was unlocking the glamorous world of womanhood. I smeared the almost colorless eyeshadow across my lids with my finger, too impatient to use the tiny sponge tip applicator.  As I gazed at my reflection in the mirror an instant obsession was born that has guided my destiny. I can't help being nostalgic for that first makeup kit and how it made me feel. Apparently,  I'm not alone.  MAC Cosmetics Hello Kitty Collection was in huge demand long before it hit store shelves.  How can any woman resist the adorable dolls filled with perfume in the Harajuku Lovers collection? Years ago, Hard Candy's cute plastic rings just like the ones we had as girls included with every tiny bottle of their fabulous nail polish started a trend for adult women that has been much copied by other cosmetic companies. Now the cosmetic company has gone one step further with the launch of their Tokidoki Collection at Sephora. As if playing with makeup wasn't enough fun already this collection stars a cute and edgy cast of characters that will make you want to buy one of everything they've got. Each of the Cromatico eyeshadow kits  has not only a wearably funky palette of shadows but each come with their own collectable charm to clip on your makeup bag!  The Cactus Friends collection is my favorite, sweet vulnerable beings dressed in tough prickly cactus suits to protect them from the cold cruel world.  I love the Bastardino Palette which has four wearable shadows, a gorgeous green along with three neutral nudes that really make my hazel eyes pop and a small collectable toy charm of the precious pup in a cactus suit for whom the palette is named. I couldn't help laughing when I saw SANDy the nail file shaped like a little girl in a cactus suit, apropos, no? This insanely cute cast of characters is the brainchild of  Roman artist Simone Legno. Tokidoki means 'sometimes' in Japanese. Legno says of the name:
"I chose 'sometimes' because everyone waits for moments that change one's destiny. By simple chance or meeting a new person, Tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy everyone has inside that gives strength to face a new day and dream something positive, that something magical will happen to us."

          The desire for transformation I had as a little girl applying makeup seems to gel with Legno's concept for his characters, no wonder Hard Candy's co-founders Pooneh Mohajer-Arnold and Ivan Arnold instantly fell in love with his work and immediately flew Legno from Rome to LA to create the Tokidoki Collection. Sounds like a perfect match to me.
