    Sad Pig


    I was sad today to see this on Spadina 🙁  This pig was once a coveted and loved prize at some carnival that everyone once wanted.  They probably spent tons of $ trying to win it, then winning it and making some girl very very happy.  And now, time passes and it’s nothing but a spectacle. How sad.  It made me think of things I use to love and no longer do. It made me think of childhood BFF’s that you wouldn’t trade the world for and now you barely talk – even on Facebook. It made me think of all the “I love you” and “forevers” that were no longer true.  It made me think of the brevity of life and how important it is to cherish every minute of everyday. It made me think how much I think, just from seeing the world around me.

    Shine Junkie Lipgloss

    “it’s like icing, cupcake kisses”

    Staying glossy is uber important to me. I am fussy when it comes to the consistency (not too goopy), the pigment (not too sheer), the feeling (not too sticky – ew MAC lipglass) and the smell (not too fake) when it comes to lipgloss. I think I found the one. The true love, the match made in heaven, the one that makes my heart sing! BED HEAD SHINE JUNKIE LIPGLOSS in SORBET.

    BED HEAD TIGI is well known for their unique hair product packaging and the product that is the real deal. Irreplaceable and can really do the job for the funky ‘do’s. TIGI are products that I swear by and makes my life that much easier. I have been using their products religiously since I first discovered them back in 2005.


    This, I cannot live without. I put it on my hair damp after the shower and blowdry it! It’s like some Rumpelstiltskin magic!

    Anyway, the tried and true product that I just got my hand on is the BED HEAD TIGI Shine Junkie Lipgloss in SORBET. They don’t sell it anywhere in Toronto. NOWHERE. I haven’t been able to find ANY BED HEAD COSMETIC at Toronto Salons (only hair products).

    This gloss is high color (amazing pigment), non sticky and doesn’t make your lips peel. Very addictive, creamy formula and is the must have for Spring and Summer 2009. My good friend from UK has brought me a case of them because of my addiction… They are exclusively and only for HeyDoYou readers. [Buy ONE NOW] I have only a limited supply and when they are gone, they are gone. The color is Sorbet. It is does not have glitter, it’s a creme lipgloss with an overdose off shine. It almost has a lacquer finish – there really isn’t another gloss I can compare this to, it’s like cupcake icing for your lips.



    It is completely wearable for a fresh day look or night out with the girls. The shine factor is insane… mirror shine, cupcake kisses. Let me know what you think!


    I am pretty sure the closest color to this is PANTONE 812 M or #ff5f71 in web colors ^_^
