Hot Pick:
Styling Spray Gel for Curls
We’ve created this Pro-Vitamin formula to help you achieve beautifully defined, bouncy, and virtually frizz-free curls.

How to look young and innocent (even if you’re not)

• Ease up on the eye makeup and opt for clear mascara. Only naughty girls smoulder.

• Avoid hairspray and gel. Innocent girls stay away from stickiness and goo. Run your fingers through your hair instead.

• Invest in shimmering lotion. Use it on your upper cheeks, chin and above the bow of your lip. Consider it your angelic glow.

• Wear a frosty pink lipstick. Just like in high school!

• Choose a cream blush. The moistness lets your skin shine through.

• Whiten your eyes. Those in the know use superstrength eyedrops, but they’re for short-term use only, so use a luminous white eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eyes instead.

Hair-colour News

Before you go running to your salon with this picture in hand, be aware of two new hair-care innovations that have surfaced at just the right moment—now! Ask your colourist if she carries a collagen-based treatment that goes on before you bleach, designed to improve your strands’ resilience to breakage. For those obsessed with shine, try an off-the-shelf glossing treatment between appointments.

Hot Pick:
Radiant Response Mousse
A powerful formula that does two beautiful jobs—its lightweight mousse formula provides the power to create and maintain your style, and its Colorshine formula keeps guard over your color treated hair to ensure longevity, radiance, and sparkle.


Trend Spotting
Love those baby blues

In a fashion season rife with minimalism, eyes lined the colour of denim (as seen at Marc Jacobs, right) are a welcome reprieve. Don’t get too serious, though; rim your eyes with indigo blue and match it to your fave lip gloss (your lip colour, only deeper). Wear it with a loose blouse and your skinniest blue jeans.

Hot Pick:
Purity Clarifying Shampoo
Pure shine reflects pure beauty. Give your hair a breather with Purity Clarifying Shampoo. This clear, lightweight shampoo cleanses to rejuvenate and renew your hair’s natural state with a unique Pro-Vitamin formula. Our ultimate in deep cleansing, Purity Clarifying Shampoo releases each strand from the after-effects of daily styling that weigh your hair down.

Five knockout shades you need now

• silver and gold eyeshadow
• purple eyeshadow or eyeliner
• neon lip gloss (bright orange or pink)
• pink lipstick (try frosted pink or fuchsia)

Put it on hold:
Stash your bronzing powder at the back of your medicine cabinet for now. A light self-tanning cream will give you the subtle of-the-moment glow.

Nail News

It seems to be a slow transition from the neutral pink shade we’ve been loving on our nails over the past year to, well, anything else. This season, however, a flurry of ice-cool neutrals is garnering attention. We witnessed long, silver metallic talons at Basso & Brooke and frosty pink shorts at Nina Ricci. For the coy who prefer a more subdued nail fashion, try the purplish-grey neutral favoured at BCBG Max Azria or the pièce de résistance: bright white (against black, oh my!) at Chanel.

Five classic beauty secrets to glow from head to toe

1. Get fresh-air flushed from a mid-afternoon walk (with SPF as part of your daily routine).

2. Brighten yellow nails with lemon (cut a lemon in two and stick your fingers and toes into the halves for a minute).

3. Use petroleum jelly for rough elbows.

4. Water, water and three more glasses of water. Drink up!

5. Get lots of beauty sleep!
