I’ve been tagged a few times in the past week. Most recently by Kim Vallee. Kim has asked me to share my beauty secrets and insights. Now I don’t profess to be a beauty expert – and, who knows, if you see me you may wonder why I’m sharing my insights…but hey, here goes.
My Mascara: I believe in playing up your assets – face included. I always go for a stronger eye and my mascara is very important to me. I’m loving L’Oreal Paris’ Telescopic mascara in carbon black. Nothing gives me length and thickness like this product…without the clumping.
Day Cream: First, I have to say that I’m very wary about skin lotions and creams. Yes, I believe there’s a difference between good and bad quality, but I don’t think it’s as easy as looking at the packaging or watching the ads on t.v. to decipher the difference. Yonka is a line of products that I absolutely adore…and can’t live without. They use plant and marine based ingredients and affiliate themselves with professional estheticians who can assess your skin and recommend the best skin care program for you. I have combination skin, so my esthetician recommended Yonka’s Creme 93. It’s light, moisturizing, smells wonderful and controls oil.
My Essential Beauty Product: J’adore my Dior Addict Ultrashine lipstick in shade 612. It’s such a natural color and it has the look of a colored gloss (it’s super shiny) but lasts a lot longer (oh, and you don’t have to worry about windy days – those of you with long hair will get that one).
My Perfume: I like changing up my perfume every month or so – frankly, I just get sick of smelling the same scent for too long. When my mother & father came back from their trip to Africa, they gave me the most wonderful fragrance oil from Egypt. Made from the pure essence of flowers, it’s so delicate and pretty. And I love that a little dab will do me all day and night.
Woman with the Best Sense of Style: There are so many women to choose from, but I have to say that I love the elegant and sophisticated new Katie Holmes. For whatever reason, she hasn’t become a fashion icon in North America, but I think she’s heads and tails above the rest. Perhaps it’s all the time she’s spent in Europe – whatever it is, it’s working. I have to add that generally speaking, urban Italian and French women inspire me. Italian women for their focus on quality and French women for their attention to detail and ability to look totally put together even when dressed down. I’m a big believer in personal branding. And I believe in putting your best foot forward at all times.
My Ultimate Dream: To grow old gracefully with my best friend, have 2 wonderful, intelligent and respectful children, live comfortably and travel well.
How Do I Define Womanhood: I’ve never really defined how I live my life by being a woman. I believe in being the best person you can be and bringing out the best in everyone around you.
