Feel like you need a little something extra to take on this weather? Maybe a golden lasso of truth, bullet proof bracelets or an invisible plane that could take you away from all this? Well, M.A.C. can't bring you that, but they can offer up a whole capsule collection of cosmetics that are packaged to pay homage to Wonder Woman and add a little bang to your beauty routine.

Available from mid-February (right when you really need it) until the beginning of April, you can super charge your entire makeup kit! The limited line offers everything from nailpolish, to lipglass, powder to blushes, mascaras to eyelashes!

Beauté Weightless Lip Crème in Masochist

Early last year, I developed a little obsession with the thought of fiery-red lips. Nothing says romance and sophistication like an unexpected flash of this sensuous colour.  I was on the hunt for a lipstick for months before discovering my perfect hue came in lip-gloss form: Beauté Cosmetics' Masochist. 

Actually, calling this product a lip gloss is a bit of a misnomer. The crème applies like a gloss but provides a matte finish that is never thick or sticky. If you usually shy away from lipstick as I do, this weightless crème is the perfect compromise.  The product is very hydrating, a breeze to apply, and the Helmut Newton red shade is guranteed to turn heads in any soirée. The best part? Beauté Weightless Lip Crème is Canadian and 100% paraben free. 

Beauté is a celebrity best-kept secret so retail availability is a bit scarce. If you order in December, however, you can get 20% off from their website through the Facebook page.

 MAC - A Tartan Tale Viva Glam Gift Bag

My general rule of thumb is that if you wore it the first time around, perhaps you should pass on a trend's second kick at the can. Sure, it may seem like a good idea to relive the neon + plaid paring of the early 80s, but those looks in the elevator at the office are probably not of the "aren't you fashion forward" variety, but more of the "this ain't Back to the Future". 

But... when I can add just a little nostalgia with a whole lot of contemporary I know I've hit it on the mark. And in stores tomorrow is the perfect mix. MAC is launching an entire Tartan collection in time for the holidays. Everything from brush kits to shadows come emblazoned with the mark of the Scotich Highlands... or an English "high street" circa the Sex Pistols depending on who's asking. My personal fave is the Viva Glam Gift Bag, 'cause I like to give while I get...

Call me a sucker for gimmicks, but I just have to tell you about this cool new find.

The Hard Candy Lip-Tattoo is a double duty product that keeps your lips looking slick and your breath smelling fresh. The gel-based lip stain comes in a line of attractive colours that any skin-tone can wear. Flip the product over and you’ll find that the real treat is on the other side. A luscious lip-gloss hydrates and adds a slick shine to your pout. And if you thought that was good on its own, wait a few seconds and you’ll feel a burst of minty fragrance that tingles your lips and freshens your breath at the same time.

This product is so much fun to try. Go get it!

Garage, Alexia Lipgloss

Normally I wouldn’t go running to Garage, a clothing store for teens and twenty-somethings, for a new gloss, but when this product showed up on my desk, I gave it a shot.

I was surprised by the application, which was smooth and simple. Normally, I find myself frightened of overly sticky glosses and put on a modest amount to avoid globs of goo. There is a little bit of shimmer, which adds a sweet, subtle shine to the lips. Plus, the price is unbeatable at just $5 per tube!

Whether you’re heading out shopping for some back to school outfits or just want to update your wardrobe for fall, make a pit-stop at Garage and be sure to stock up on these cute shades.
