Summer in all its hot and steamy glory is the perfect opportunity for something light and frothy. I’m not speaking gourmet latte’s here, think more along the lines of color with a twist of texture. Need a visual?
Enter J. McLaughlin Easton Lace Short. From the moment I spotted these beauties a their preview they’ve been on my wish list!. Lace has been a huge trend this season and an easy way to create interest in the simplest of looks, while channeling an understated romance. You can pair them with your favorite white tee and grecian sandals or a sleek pair of wedges and a tailored blazer for a night out. Dress them up or down the only issue you will have is giving them a rest.
The first lady of facials, Elizabeth Arden recently launched Red Door Spa Professional, a premiere spa-based skin and body care line. The new collection captures the essence of Red Door’s signature services, with luxurious, results-driven skincare formulated directly from the spa’s professional treatments.

I got a sneak preview of the new line on a cold, gray evening, which definitely put me in the mood for some pampering. Situated in the glamorous Chatwal Hotel, the newest Red Door is a welcome escape for the mind and body. Expert aesthetician Cornelia Zicu, who is also Elizabeth Arden’s global chief creative officer, welcomed me with
I have an exciting announcement! I’ve been asked to extend my partnership with Wantable to help curate their makeup and jewelry box for this month’s June box!
Wantable is a subscription service that helps you discover new jewelry and makeup brands and products for $36/month or $40 for a one time purchase. Based on your style and beauty profile, they hand pick 3-5 boutique jewelry pieces or 4-6 full-size cosmetic items and ship them to you direct. (Think Birchbox, only with Wantableyou’re getting full size beauty product instead of samples and there’s also a jewelry option). Best part is the shipping is free and your purchase is 100% guaranteed. If you’re not satisfied there’s a return slip included so you can ship the items back for a full refund.
So while I have no idea what you’ll get in your box (it all depends on your profile settings, ie. if you only want lipstick, that’s all you’ll get, if you want a combination of eye and nails then that’s what you can expect… and then of course shade ranges and other details you share). Here are my picks for this month’s beauty box month! (Pssst, click HERE to enter for your chance to win some of my favorite products)
Knockout Nail Polish – My favorite matte nail polish line. We have a full range of shades! There’s so much you can do with matte nail polish it’s is great on it’s own or as a single nail as an accent. Also with nail art being such a huge trend this season, matte makes for a great base or fun opportunity to mix textures.
Lise Watier – One of the top prestige brands in Canada, Lise Watier has a full line of luxurious products which I’m so excited you may see some of their eye or lip gloss products in this months box. Their lip gloss lights up when you open the packaging, offering a flawless application no matter the lighting. I’ve spent a lot of time with this makeup brand and could not recommend it more.
Besame – Wantable actually introduced me to this makeup line and their red lipstick is beautiful. Gorgeous packaging, great pigment, it’s so glam!
Susan Posnick – We’re debuting her line of ColorEyeDefine this month that has an eye liner pencil on one end and self-dispensing eye shadow on the other! The eye liner is at an angled slant making for a flawless application and coupled with a complimentary eyeshadow on the other side, it’s a must-have for any makeup bag.
FACE Stockholm – one of my favorite makeup brands. Wantable is carrying a wide range of products from blush, to eyes and lips. It’s a
