Lux Jewels is bringing this really amazing run to our city on March 5, 2011, and it’s one race you won’t want to miss! What sets it apart from all the other races? The grand prize – a 1 carat, cushion-cut diamond ring valued at $12,o00! Sign me up!

The Diamond Race is a one day event in the league of The Amazing Race, except this time the race takes place in one city, over one day, for one fabulous, sparkly prize! Teams of two people will race around Downtown Vancouver, completing challenges and deciphering clues, while competing with other teams.

What makes this event all the more special is that proceeds will benefit the Rare Disease Foundation in honor of the late Mrs. Ram Kumari Bakshi. An amazing race for an amazing cause.

Spring Make-Up Trend to Wear Now: Neon Lips

January 27, 2011 No comments yet

There’s more than one way to brighten your day in the midst of cold, rainy weather. Sure you can book a trip to Miami, but if you want to save a few hundred, a vibrant new shade of lipstick can do just the trick. And the shade with the most pop? Neon, of course.

And it’s Neon everything: orange that pops, fuschia that sings, purple that’s bold. You may think neon is a weird type of colour to wear on your face, but this shade, which was all over the Spring 2011 runways (Marc by Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Jill Sander, Isaac Mizrahi to name a few visionaries), will bring that extra bit of wow to your look and make you forget it’s still only January.

How to do the look: Choose a matte lipstick that provides enough moisture for your lips so you don’t have a cracked, dry, caked on look (I like MAC‘s Neon Orange, Fusion Pink, Style Curve, and the Gulabi from the Bollywood line). Line those lips (Sephora carries awesome clear liners that prevent colour bleeding without the horrible obvious lip liner look). And keep your eyes and cheeks simple. A good foundation or tinted moisturizer, concealer as needed, a very subtle dusting of blush if you need it and a few strokes of black mascara and you’re ready to rock a Spring 2011 look in middle of Winter.

Better than a vacay, right? Okay, at least you’ll look hot standing under your umbrella in the rain!

Love,

Our secret cure for under eye circles!

January 25, 2011 No comments yet
You wake up Tuesday morning only to find that all those mango mojitos (you were pretending it was summer) you consumed the night before have pulled a number on your face. Say bye bye to those puffy under eye circles with our secret skin care weapon and dark, puffy, under eye circle zapper: rose gel.
If you’ve been by the bar, you’ll know we use a soothing rose-scented gel to cool and relax your head after getting your brows done. But our signature Bombay Rose Gel also works double and triple time to nourish, moisturize and refresh skin. You can use it as a moisturizer after cleansing, as an overnight gel, to refresh and brighten your face at any time of day, and of course, to reduce puffy, dark circles around your eyes. And if you love natural products, this Rose Gel is for you.
The Deets:
- Perfect for all skin types
- Store in cool dry place
- Refrigerate for extra cooling effect
- Rose water has antibacterial, soothing, healing and antiseptic properties
- It’s rich in flavonoids and vitamins, including A, C, D, E and B3.
- Ingredients: Steamed distilled Rosewater, Aloe Vera extract, cucumber extract, rose essential oil
The eternal symbol of beauty and love, rose water was also used by the original beauty queen, Cleopatra, and other divas from Ancient Persia and Egypt. So do like the beauty divas of way back, and try some rose gel for a natural, refreshing take on skin care.
Love,
Miss Brow Flirt with notes from Brow Boss Candice

Best Celeb Man Brows

January 12, 2011 No comments yet

Every Hollywood hottie needs groomed, face-framing brows. How else can they emphasize their on-screen broodiness, arch their brow in comic disbelief or look angrily at the camera? Check out some of our favourite Hollywood man brows below:

Um, Ludacris and Lil’ Bieber have better brows than me!

And then there are the sort-of-okay, but need some work brows (ie. Vince Vaughn, you need some brow tinting, your brows disappear into your forehead!):

Anyone you think I missed on this wonderful man brow meter of hotness?

Makeup for a Wannabe Bollywood Diva

January 6, 2011 No comments yet

I’m revealing a secret recipe that will have you shifting from a prim and proper gal at the office, to a real Bollywood Diva. Take notes.

Recipe for Becoming a Bollywood Diva:

  1. Hot Brows! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
  2. Makeup palette that includes tools for a smokey eye, contoured cheeks and pouty lips – see M.A.C.’s Bollywood Collection.
  3. Stacks of glittery bangles (BBB has them 2 for 1).
  4. A super hot mini in bright jewel tones or sequins.
  5. A yummy guy to serenade you with a romantic song among the trees.

So I’m super excited that M.A.C. Cosmetics has created a line of Bollywood inspired make-up. It’s all about jewel tones, dusky bronze and golds, and new shades of foundation that are perfect for different skin tones – and for adding a little oomph to your look.

The line was created by Mickey Contractor, makeup artist to the stars, and I mean THE biggest stars in Bollywood: Aishwarya Rai (L’Oreal model, acted in The Pink Panther, overall beauty queen), Shilpa Shetty (winner of Big Brother UK, seriously hot abs), and our girl, Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire, L’Oreal model, hot brows).

For all the deets on the Bollywood Collection, visit your local M.A.C. store or visit their website.
