    Girlactik

    New beauty brands are popping up all over the place. This is a new Canadian beauty brand I am dying to try!  The eyeshadows come in cute names like Timeless, VIP, Mariposa and Golda.  The packaging seems to be stock and the logo and overlook appeal reminds me of a classy chick who has always been pretty and has a boyfriend her whole life and live at her parents house while having a full time job. I’m just saying. :\

     Check them out and tell me what you think? They are in every Sephora nationwide. I’d love to know.

    Who is Lauren Luke?

    YouTube sensation and make-up artist, Lauren Luke used Youtube tutorials to turn an average looking girl into the goddess within, one viewer at a time. Sultry blues, Vintage glams, Fierce violets and so much more. First, we talked about her in the Marketing Essentials class at FiDM, then I saw her in the NY Times, then in the H&M Fall magazine, and now in SEPHORA!

    Her story is incredible and so inspiration to all the bloggers out there, to ‘do you’! Who knows where it can take you.

    Pretty much flawless

    I have 2 personalities, glossyvonne and yvonne. One is blonde and fun and the other is a brunette and kinda studious. 🙂 I am yvonne for 2009 until further notice. Biked to Sephora today on Bloor and wanted to find a nice matte flawless foundation to match my new hue, and after playing around for hours, I was debating the new multishade makeupforever liquid foundation or the smashbox high def one. Then the Laura Geller phenomenal foundation one caught my eye! Cool bottle that swivels shut and keeps the foundation fresh, a nice pump system that works well for me – so it’s amazing! Pretty, sheer-medium coverage and minimal transfer. “Virtually weightless formula blends beautifully to perfect your complexion. Create a flawless canvas and keep it all day.” Laura Geller is famous for it’s brow marker and she believes beauty is every woman’s birthright.  Amen to that! I will let you know how it compares to my all time favourite maybelline dream matte mousse. Any good recommendations?

    Major Mascara

    I have been so lucky to receive the exclusive sneak preview of the upcoming major mascara launch by L’Oreal Paris (& Matchstick) – The Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara! HeyDoYou is one of 200 Blogs in Canada selected to receive this exclusive L’Oréal Paris Glam Kit containing Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara prior to its Canadian debut! Woowee!

    (btw, more on BeautyTubes on YouTube)
    They will be in all stores Dec 2008.
    I love the way it has the base coat and it really extends your lashes. No raccoon eyes and smudges yet and comes off easily with my favorite make up remover, Balms Away. Even though I get most of my makeup from Sephora, there are drug store products that I swear by. My winter makeup routine consists of white mica powder for that snow bunny look, pink blush and very black mascara. For a night time look, I will add a glitter liner and blue mascara to the mix. Perfect!

    Another way to emphasis your mega bat bat bats is to frame your eyes. I found my Nicole Richie style over-sized sunglasses a la summer 2007 and popped the lens out to rock the frames for a 2009 plaid attitude look. Hot.

    Mascaras I Love;
    Benefit BadGAL very black
    Givinchy PHENOMEN Black
    Tarte Light, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Black
    Origins Fringe Benefits Black
    GOSH Mascara Amazing Length’n Build Electric Blue
    Clinique Volumizing Mascara Black
    Imju Fiberwig Mascara

    Double Extension Beauty Tubes, welcome to the fam! If you are a beauty product junkie like me – Tell me what you think here. and win your own Double Extension Smokey Eye Kit!
