Pucker up!
What could be sexier than luscious, iridescent lips, so gorgeous they just can't help but smile? You don't need a bout of Botox to get this full, ripe mouth. Just pick up a tube of Glam Shine, the new volumizing lip colour by
L'Oréal Paris. With crystal micro-particles that make your mouth sparkle without feeling sticky, Glam Shine is more comfortable than a gloss and shinier than regular lipstick. Available in drug stores across Canada. $9.95.
Simple elegance
There's no better way to bring the outdoors in than with fresh flowers. Instead of adding more clutter to your coffee table, why not try a wall vase? This stunning hand-blown glass vase from
Pottery Barn accommodates water and flowers and hangs directly on antiqued iron nails, highlighting the clean beauty of the glass and its contents. $10.
Spring scents
After a long Canadian winter, there is something magical about the first scent of spring. Recreate nature's fresh fragrance anytime with
Pier 1 imports' First Bloom Potpourri and Incense, a combination of freesia, plumeria, lilac, and jasmine with green leafy notes and fresh cut hay. Incense, US$5.
