Easy to Use: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner
This eyeliner is great, it’s the top of the line as far as liquid liners go. The liner comes in a variety of different colours including emerald, purple, and black. Though this eyeliner is supposed to stay and is waterproof, with a wet cotton pad I got it off! At the age of twelve I…

Wicked White and Creepy Charcoal Hallowe’en Tricks
Okay would be witches and mummies, I MUST share with you a Hallowe’en tip that my mother (Grandma Dame) share with me…when I was a little one. This dates, I am sure, from a time when smart people did not spend money on Hallowe’en makeup. Hallowe’en Superstores were…corner drugstores. And you put real candles in…

Cold Winters? Get George-ous
He’s a pharmacist with a toothy grin and nerdy glasses who took on the challenge of keeping skin supple during the darkest of Canadian winters. Today George (Doherty) and his partner own a lovely, goofy niche of the skin care market. They sell only in Canada (pity!) but I suggest this cream would work wherever…

(“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
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
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
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…
