*** This is a full coverage waterproof concealer by It Cosmetics***
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
When you think about one of the most frustrating things that you want to hide when it comes to your eyes, I think eyebags come pretty close to topping the list.
It Cosmetics has this waterproof concealer (Bye Bye Under Eye) that targets right underneath the eye to reduce the look of eye bags. I am enthusiastic that the concealer is waterproof. I think that’s what got me hooked at the moment.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye comes in four shades: light, dark, neutral medium and tan.

Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
Maybelline’s all about your lips and colouring them with their newest collection, Colour Sensational Lipstick. You are more than likely to find a shade you’ll like because there are 48 shades to choose from!
The colours are grouped in four categories: your pinks, plums, reds and naturals.
I was quite interested in the different shades in the reds family like Sweet Nectar and the Park Ave. Peach because they both have an orange tint to it that I really like (It works well against my pale complexion). The Pink Me Up stick in the pink family is also a great bright and bold colour that really caught my eye.

The other product that Lancôme has that’s a treat for the lips is the L’Absolu Rouge La Base.
This is the ideal product for those of you with really dry or cracked lips. It looks a little weird at first. It’s a competely white-coloured lipstick but don’t let that stop you from trying it. The moisturizing power from this lip product will leave you with luscious and soft lips. It’s also got SPF 10 to protect you!

Lancôme Gold Fascination collection
Feature by Editorial Assistant Colleen
Canadians, it’s time to gear up! With the Olympics coming up in February 2010 in Whistler British Columbia, everybody wants to reach for gold.
This definitely includes looking right for when that shiny moment comes. Lancôme’s limited collection might be exactly what you need.
It’s been 75 years since Lancôme created a collector series and this one is sure to dazzle and sparkle, or at least get you noticed during the games.
Even if you can’t get a gold medal yourself at the 2010 Olympic games, you can definitely get your hands on a Gold Fascination collector’s item. This collection was designed by artist Raphael Mazzucco, also a former professional soccer player. He was inspired by the female athletes set to compete in the upcoming Olympics and of course, the colour gold. And who better to help Raphael complete his gold collection than his wife Lisa-Marie Mazzucco, a make-up artist and a gold medal winner in figure skating during the 1980 Commonwealth Games.

Ageless Minerale is Lancôme’s first brightening mineral make-up
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
Lancôme is the latest brand to market a mineral make-up.
Lancôme has launched its Ageless Minérale with White Sapphire Complex and it’s aimed at taking away the signs of aging on your skin with a simple brush of the product. It’s apparently the first of its kind.
Mineral make-up is quite popular these days and I have to admit that I’m buying into it as much as all of my friends.
Mineral make-up is very easy to apply on and it really does feel light on my face. It’s especially good if you just want a simple and easy morning routine that just freshens up your face. I’ve used liquid foundation in the past and found it to be way too chunky and much harder to match to my pale skin. I guess that’s the reason I’m quite taken with mineral products these days.
