Valentine’s Day Beauty Picks

Every Valentine’s Day I make a point of including pink or red (or both) in my makeup or fashion choice of the day. This weekend, I rummaged through my makeup to find some of my favourite pink or red makeup to share with you:

1. Avon Smooth Minerals blush in Blushing Mauve – A pretty sheer pink with shimmer that gives off a healthy glow.

2. Marcelle Minerals Eyeshadow in Rose Satin – I keep this in my purse because I like to use it when I am look tired and need a boost. Light shimmery colour.

3. Christian Dior Mini Fragrance – I bought a mini fragrance quad containing 4 fragrances from Dior. I love the mini versions because they are perfect for throwing in your purse. I am deciding between wearing Dior Addict or Poison for V-Day. The best time to find mini perfume sets is at Christmas time.

4.  Mary Kay Cheek Glaze in Pomegranate – I am not sure if Mary Kay carries this anymore but this gives off a dewy finish. I’ve used this occasionally on my lips as well.

5. Butter London in Primrose Hill Picnic – I bought this a few months ago and it is such a great colour. Really bright, rich and it looks awesome on super short nails!

Will you be wearing pink or red for Valentine’s Day?

The Cheap Girl Contest: Make Me Young DVD Giveaway (5 Copies)

On behalf of Cinema Libre Studio, The Cheap Girl is is giving away 5 DVD copies of the documentary Make Me Young.

SYNOPSIS:

An age-obsessed daughter of a plastic surgeon takes a journey through America ’s $60 Billion a year anti-aging world. In this Alice-In-Wonderland tale, the filmmaker spends two years traveling across the country visiting doctors, experts and the lives of a cross section of characters from Minnesota to Texas who’ve gone to varying lengths to “beat the clock,” painting a funny, but troubling portrait of a country that desperately needs to stay young. Armed with wry humor, one wonders throughout this highly personal journey if the filmmaker herself hasn’t been pulled in by the obsession of youth.

Insights and bon mots from the cognoscenti of beauty includes:

*Dr. Lisa Airan, socialite dermatologist in New York ’s Upper East Side and on-camera beauty expert;
*Paula Begoun, consumer advocate and author of Don’t Go to the Beauty Counter Without Me;
*Dr. Fredric Brandt, with practices in Miami and New York , he’s been dubbed “Baron of Botox” because he is the single largest customer of Botox in the world;
*Simon Doonan, Creative Director at Barneys New York ;

*Joan Kron, the “First Lady of Plastic Surgery Journalism;”
