You’ve got the dress, the shoes and the bracelets, and you’re brows are arched to pretty perfection. But where’s the party at? Here’s the lowdown on some hot NYE parties in Yaletown, where you can ring in 2011 in style.
Society Pretty In Pink NYE Gala: Sure, we’re a little partial to this gig because it’s our favourite colour, but Society is also fabulous because of it’s retro nosh (think cotton candy, milkshakes and mac ‘n cheese) and bumpin’ music.
Opus Hotel 100 Days High Roller Party: The super cool pop-up restaurant concept features graffiti by local artist Vince Dumoulin. For NYE, they’re featuring innovative canapes and an open bar. Hey, NYE is the perfect excuse to be a lush.
New Year’s Eve at Glowbal. If you love steak, seafood and satays, this is the NYE gala party for you. Ring in 2011 with a 4-course dinner, Pommery champagne and beats by the Glowbal DJ.

However you ring in 2011, here’s lots of happiness, love, and serious brow hotness to you all.
Love,
Miss Brow Flirt
Hello, my lovelies! With Christmas gone, it’s all about NYE: champagne at midnight, canapes and confetti, and stolen kisses as 2010 shifts to 2011. And the most important part of ringing in the new year: the dress. Yes, the perfect, sparkly, make-them-drool dress. Here are a few of my favourites:
Boudoir Fashion Boutique in Yaletown: They’re bringing pretty back.
BCBGeneration Dress, $168
Akiko Dress, $268
French Connection: Sexy, sparkle and shine.
Elizabeth Rose, $168
Creme De La Crepe, $298
Morningstar Knits, $228
And if you can splurge on the overnight shipping, a few faves from ShopBop.com (Halston Heritage is also available at The Bay):
Halston Heritage Halter Dress, $455
Halston Heritage Wrap Dress, $455
Ports 1961 Luxe T-Shirt Gown, $895
And for statement earrings and bracelets to accessorize your NYE outfit, head down to the BBB bar for our signature and Amrita Singh collections. Serious hotness, ladies!

We played Santa this Christmas and gifted one lucky BBB Maven an awesome brow tab worth 6 Bombshell Brows! Here’s sharing some holiday love with the WINNER of our Bombay Holiday Shopping Affair draw, the lovely Sandra Garcia from Middle Child Marketing!
Rock those brows, girl!

Your tree is sparkling, the eggnog spiked with rum, and all the presents are wrapped and tagged. Except one for your bestie! Come down to BBB for the final day of the Bombay Holiday Shopping Affair for a chai or make-up filled gift basket sure to bring you loads of brownie points with your BFF. And best of all, you can take advantage of the 15% off promo for the hols!
I also spied copies of the Crave Vancouver book, perfect for any city girl on your list. And finally, for the boy you forgot to buy a prezzie for (!!!), the Chai mix at BBB is super yummy and so easy to make – even for someone who can only make toast. It also makes a great alternative to coffee on Christmas morning when you’re opening stockings with your fam.
Wishing you a fabulous holiday with lots of bubby, good cheer and laughter.
Love,
Miss Brow Flirt
I am loving Natalie Portman’s look in Black Swan. Those eyes! Those lips! The pretty frilly dresses!
Nat’s frightening and delicate at the same time, especially with the striking black winged make-up on her eyes.
And I’m also smitten with her deep red lips contrasting with her pale visage , and I love that she continued this lip make-up trend on the red carpet at the premiere of the film (see bottom photo).
This deep red stain would also work to elevate your holiday look from understated to bombshell. A few of my favourite colours to try:
Paula Dorf Lip Colour in Festive – what I’m wearing now!
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in Le Rouge
Illamasqua in Encounter

If you still haven’t found that perfect something for your BFF or little sis, it’s time to get on it! Lucky for you, I’ve come up with a list of fabulous gifts that every girl on your list will love, and the best part is, starting today, BBB is offering 15% off products and services during their Bombay Holiday Shopping Affair, so you can get a little something extra for yourself.
Here are a few of my favourite things in bar right now:
Arm candy: A girl can never have enough jewelry, and I’m loving these simple, golden bracelets (left) that can dress up your work outfit for an evening soiree.
And these Amrita Singh cuffs (right) make a strong statement and are great for pairing with a sleek LBD.
Serious Lip Love: This lip gloss set (left) is a great stocking stuffer, and with 3 different colours, your picky sister is bound to fall in love with at least one shade (and maybe give you the other!).
Hot package: Sparkly pink make-up bags (right) can be a girl’s BFF too. Stash your extra mascara, blush and lip gloss in this pretty bag that’s roomy enough to fit all her beauty-on-the-go needs.
Last-minute Christmas shopping never looked so hot!
Love,
Miss Brow Flirt

So you’ve got your brows done, but what about the finishing touches? I’ve been searching for the perfect eye make-up to elevate your look from racoon to van der Woodsen, and after hours and hours of testing (all in the name of beauty), I found three eye shadows that will help you create a sexy, come-hither look – perfect for when you’ve strategically positioned yourself and that cute guy from down the hall under the mistletoe.
M.A.C. Cosmetics 6 Twists of Tartan Eye Shadows: One of my faves from the M.A.C. Holiday collection, this set of 6 shadows help create a sultry, smokey eye with a great selection of colours including metallic maroon, deep royal blue, gold and metallic hunter green.
NARS Duo Eyeshadow: This duo comes in a ton of combinations, but my favourites are the silver lilac + bright purple Melusine, charcoal + slate blue Brumes and silver + emerald Misfit, each combo providing complimentary sparkly shadows.
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze: LOVE! Recommended by Henna + Make-up Artist to the stars, Ash Kumar, this compact packs a powerful punch with 5 shimmery shades that can be used individually or mixed together to create a radiant glow. Bonus: You can use the Shimmer Brick as an all-over bronzer and blush too.
The holidays are all about glitter and glamour (…oh, and giving!), so play up those pretty peepers with rich, shimmery shadows that bring out your natural eye colour and enhance those gorgeous brows.
Love,
Ms. Brow Flirt
