Sun Safety!

The reason why I am writing this post is because I gave myself a Kardashian style burn this past weekend and it still kills! I am usually a nut when it comes to protecting my skin from the sun, but that was the last thing on my mind while I was sitting outside for three hours in Yorkville this past Saturday. Needless to say, protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun is absolutely paramount, whether you have light skin or dark skin. For those of you jetting off to your cottage on the weekend think about picking up Sephora's Sun Safety Kit. This kits includes all the necessary items that you need to protect your skin. All items are travel sized so they won't take up much space and they come in an expandable tote bag. This kit includes absolutely everything you need and is loaded with over ten different items and the best part is that with every single purchase a large portion of the proceeds goes to the Skin Cancer Foundation. 

If Sephora's Sun Saftey Kit does not seem like your thing, try making a few adjustments to the products that you already use. See if your daily facial moisturizer comes in variations that contain SPF. If that isn't available and your are not willing to switch products then maybe your primer or your foundation is also available with SPF.  If neither of those items are available, Dermologica has a great product called Solar Defense Booster SPF 15. You can mix this product in with your daily moisturizer, foundation or primer to give you the sun protection that you need. You can pick up this item at Delineation!

Be Bright This Summer!!

I just purchased the most amazing shade of pink nail polish. Butter London's most popular nail colour at the moment is Portobello Pink! I was put on a waiting list to get this colour, it is that popular! Anyway, it is amazing and I will be using this colour religiously all summer long along with Essie's Carousel Coral! You can grab Butter London's Portobello Pink and Essie's Carousel Coral at Delineation Hair & Skin Essentials on Yonge Street.

Mario Badescu - Whitening Mask

I was cruising around Yorkville today with my love and I realized I was out of my most cherished skin product. Mario Badescu has an amazing Whitening Mask that I cannot live without. You use it twice a week for about twenty minutes and it will do the trick. It helps brighten skin, smooth out discolorations and for those of you that have stubborn acne scars or discolorations from the sun this product will be amazing for you. It's great for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Mario Bedescu is a a celeb favorite and I know that once you try it, you will be hooked. I will be posting more about his great products as time goes on. A great place to pick up this Mario Badescu Whitening Mask, or any of his other products try visiting Delineation Hair and Skin Essentials at Yonge and Eglinton in Toronto.

Butter London

Recently a friend of mine told me about a new line of nail polish that she had seen. I decided to try it and of course, I was impressed. Butter London is a new line of non - toxic nail polish. They call themselves a "3 free Nail Lacquer", which means no formaldehyde, no toluene and no DBP. So, now when you get a manicure you don't have to worry about carcinogens. Not only are they non - toxic but they have a great line of colours that you can chose from and fun names that go along with each colour like, "Branwen's Feather" (my current favourite) and "HRH" which stands for "Her Royal Highness".
