 When it comes to “classic” beauty staples, nothing says class and beauty like the perfect red lipstick! From Marilyn and Audrey to Scarlett and Gwen, some of our most iconic beauties have donned red lips at one time or another!

Trends come and go, nude lips, uber wet gloss etc. etc…. BUT when it comes to making a statement…. RED says it all! Sexy, strong, female and proud!

The following excerpt was taken from the Elizabeth Arden website…

“To commemorate 100 years of beauty innovation, Elizabeth Arden introduces a Limited Edition 100th Anniversary Lipstick in Red Door Red, a red lipstick for the times.

A universal shade of sheer red lipstick in the Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick formula. Sensational shades. Moisturizing color. Lasting effects. Triple Emollient Technology and Vitamins A, C and E and Aloe instantly moisturize and cushion lips for total comfort.

Elizabeth Arden is proud to donate all of the proceeds to Look Good…Feel Better®, a global charitable organization designed to help individuals with cancer look good, improve their self-esteem, and thereby manage their treatment and recovery with greater confidence.”

So, if you’re looking for the “perfect” red lipstick for spring/summer, why not support an amazing cause as well!

 It may be the upcoming Olympics or the fact that I’m loving the new single “Oh Canada” from East Coast rapper Classified… but I’m just feeling the need to share some fabulous Canadian products with everyone!  So here’s the first of many to follow…

If you love to treat yourself (even occasionally) to fun, nourishing and ridiculously indulgent products, look no further than this Canadian Made line…

Cake Beauty© http://www.cakebeauty.com

I am totally addicted to this sweet smelling, uber luxurious line of bath & body products!
Heather Reier, founder/creator of Cake Beauty© is from Southern Ontario and her companies mission statement says it all!

 Beauty believes in the value and importance of indulgence. Indulgence is good. Women everywhere deserve a moment in their lives to indulge…our goal is to transform that moment to everyday.’ - Heather Reier, Creator,
 Beauty

These Parabin free products are made with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, almond oil and turbinado sugar, just to name a few! Each product has a “key ingredient” list  which reads like an overindulgent recipe for sheer goodness!  Having said that, here are just a couple of my many faves…

The CAKE© All Purpose Treatment Balm is just that! From cuticles to flyaways, dry elbows to unruly eyebrows. this product cures it all AND smells fantastic!!!

This “airline friendly” trial size pack features Bath & Shower Froths AND Supreme Body Mousse in their two signature fragrances of “It’s a Slice” and “Desserted Island” not to mention the “Milk Made Velveteen hand Lotion” which is just plain indescribable!

Check out their website for more products and the cool celebs that adore them… if you’re looking for a place to get products ASAP, head for my fave purveyor… Second Star to the Right Gift Shop at 226 King St E. in Cambridge, ON. (Don’t worry…I’ll be giving you all the low down on this place in a future blog!)

Enjoy!!!
