I’ve recently come across a fabulous Vichy product that I feel I am obligated to share with all of you! Now, I am not much of a makeup person, meaning my makeup routine consists of mascara, concealer (for those oh so pesky blemishes *cringe*), and if I feel like, a little bit of blush. So what exactly have I come across that is so amazing that I just needed to tell all of you?

Daria Werbowy is one of the biggest names in the fashion and model industry today. Her name will be added to Canada’s Walk of Fame come September. Daria is the second model to ever be honoured and she “holds the record for opening and closing the most shows in one season.” Daria is representing Canada across the globe and doing us proud!
Daria was born in Poland but moved to Mississauga, Ontario at the age of three. At just fourteen years old, she was standing tall at 5′11” (at fourteen I was 4′11). Daria confessed to Fashion Magazine that she’s had mixed feelings about her job as a model - “A lot of the time, I feel like I’m part of the problem when it comes to all the superficiality and vanity that impacts that way girls grow up.” And while other models may be partying and boozing, Daria has used her celebrity status to help fund for a non-profit arts center that focuses on at-risk youth. Proceeds from her Lancome - Brazilian Earth Colours makeup collection will go to the Centro Espacial Vik Muniz in Rio de Janeiro.

It’s time to bring out the dark and dramatic eyes for the season. Put on an extra layer or two of your favourite mascara, a thicker border around your eyes and blend it all in with a dark rich eyeshadow. If you have short eyelashes like me, add a pair of false eyelashes to give your eyes that flirtatious look - wink wink.
I always have thick eyeliner and fake eyelashes on so I’m definitely a fan of this trend! Here are the items that I use:
Estee Lauder: Automatic Eye Pencil Duo
My Mom and I have been using this pencil duo for years. You don’t have to sharpen the pencil - just twist and turn. And if you run out, that’s okay because you can purchase additional refills at The Bay, Sears or any retailers that sell Estee Lauder. It comes on rich and smooth and the smudger helps create that sexy smokey look.
If you’re new to smoky-eyes, no problem because my favourite foundation brand, Bare Escentuals has created tutorial packages that comes with eyeshadows, a brush and instructions to help you get started.
