  • Great Moisture Cream

    Great Moisture Cream

      Sometimes we actually agree about trying a product and this was one of those times. I was introduced to Kiehl’s products in the US years ago, and was happy to see them on the shelves here. This is a very simple cream, smooth and works! The price point is higher than typical drugstore brands…

  • Lusterous, Silky, Healthy Hair

    Lusterous, Silky, Healthy Hair

    Bumble and bumbles invisible oil is fantastic! It leaves hair smooth and fabulous, with a subtle glow. Though slightly more expensive than Moroccan oil, the light weight texture formula is fabulous. For dance instead of using gel I use this; washes out easily and leave hair in place but not crunchy. Used by stars every…

  • Beauty Dames Face Off

    Beauty Dames Face Off

    Here’s the situation: Kerrie is no longer a teenager and Annabelle is about to be. So, of course, we have different views about makeup. For example, Kerrie is against Annabelle wearing makeup. (“You’re naturally beautiful”)* Annabelle, of course, disagrees. So we have arrived at an uneasy truce. When it comes to face colour (eyeshadows, blush,…

  • Basic Body Must Have

    Basic Body Must Have

    We live in a very cold, very dry part of the earth. You need to stay moisturized to stay sane. (And trust me, if you have to wear socks or tights, those feet need moisturizing too). So although this is not very glam, it is very very essential. Of course we speak of Lubriderm. Basic.…

  • Curly Harried

    Curly Harried

    Okay. You kids have it lucky. In MY day I would put a tea towel over my hair and iron it with my mother’s old Sunbeam.  A real iron, made of…iron. Or, I would wash my hair and then put on a toque and keep it on until my hair dried. On very rare occasions…

  • BONUS: Grab Bag Tip

    BONUS: Grab Bag Tip

    We both love a bargain. Well, okay, Kerrie more than Annabelle, but still, getting something at a good price is a good thing. You can find some great deals on lovely hand soap, hand lotion and body lotions at discount stores (in Canada, we love Winners for example). Thursdays are a great day to browse…

  • When Do We Stop Feeling Beautiful?

    When Do We Stop Feeling Beautiful?

    Remember back when you loved to play dress up? Or even gaze are your most amazing self in the mirror? When DOES that stop? How many times do you look at yourself these days and think kind, loving thoughts? Try it today: the next time you look at yourself in the mirror say “I Love…

    Subtle whispers of floral and honey make this perfume a must for any event. Dot is sweet and harmonic with a scent so perfect it numbs the senses in simply adorable packaging. This perfume is a vanity must. Cute black and red polka dotted bottle with flowers and gold finishing gives this perfume the best…

  • New Nail Polish for Back to School

    New Nail Polish for Back to School

    What better way to say old school “school” than blackboard nail polish? I could not believe it when Annabelle first pointed this product out to me. At first I said “no way!” thinking about all the chemicals that could be contained in one small bottle. But, she wore me down and we agreed to review.…
