Fall's best beauty buys
Roberto Caruso
Deborah Lippmann luxurious nail colour in Across the Universe
The best way to add some bling to your wardrobe without spending a mint? With sparkling polish in sophisticated fall shades. We especially love Deborah Lippmann’s formaldehyde-free polish in Across the Universe, which was inspired by the beauty of the constellations.
Find it at Murale.
Smashbox Photo Finish targeted pore and line primer
Polished skin is paramount this fall. For those of us who weren’t blessed with a perfectly flawless complexion there’s Photo Finish targeted pore and line primer from Smashbox – a miracle product that works to erase fine lines, enlarged pores and other imperfections while absorbing shine.
Find it at Sephora.
Tom Ford Private Blend lip colour in Black Orchid
If you love big impact lips you’ll love the nearly noir shades hitting beauty counters this fall. Wear dark chocolate-y shades like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid with understated eye makeup.
Find it at Holt Renfrew.
Body Shop Rainforest Moisture hair butter
The cooler weather can mean additional damage to your delicate locks from blow-drying and indoor heating. To combat breakage apply this luxuriously rich deep-conditioning treatment once a week.
Find it at The Body Shop.
Benefit SpeedBrow
Prominent brows are back in a big way this fall. With products like Benefit’s SpeedBrow you can easily add a bit of polished drama to your look. Just quickly swipe on a coat and your brows are set, tamed and temporarily tinted.
Find it at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Quo Couture eye shadow duo
Shimmering metallic shadows perfectly compliment the season’s polished skin trend. Finish your look with brown mascara (instead of harsh black) so that the shadow takes centre stage.
Find it at Shoppers Drug Mart.
AVON Matte nail enamel in Grey Cement
If you gravitate toward an understated look you’ll love the neutral grey nail colour that’s in style this season. Opt for two coats of this chic shade from AVON for au courant digits.
Find it at AVON.
Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Glamour Queen volumizing hairspray
Bouncy blowouts and big bouffants lined the fall/winter 2010 runways. To add some oomph to lifeless locks try pumping up your roots with a spritz of volumizing hairspray like Schwarzkopf’s OSiS+ Glamour Queen.
Find it at Schwarzkopf salons across Canada.
Lancome Tropiques Minerale bamboo bronzer
Extend your summer glow with the help of a shimmering palette like Lancome’s Tropiques Minerale pressed bamboo bronzer. Vary the illuminating effect with a sweep of bronze and pink for daytime then highlight your look with gold in the evening.
Find it at The Bay.
Arbonne RE9 Advanced corrective eye crème
Who doesn’t scrimp on sleep during the hot summer months? Repair the dark circles and puffiness that come as a result of an action-packed summer with a corrective eye cream like Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced formulation.
