Who needs more stuff in their bathroom cabinet? We all do of course. In the past year, I have come across a few more things that I simply can not live without and are part of my daily routine.

I battle with adult acne and for those bad days I use Mario Badescu’s “Drying Lotion”. Just dab this blend of Calamine and Salicylic Acid to clear up and soothe unsightly whiteheads and pimples overnight. I swear the pimple reduces in size about half and in less than 48 hours, you are back to normal again - life saver. $23, www.beautymark.ca

As a huge fan of “Trueblood” I had to get myself the limited addition Tarte LipSurgence. It’s mint-infused and is the perfect iridescent shade of red to give yourself the pouty red lips like a lady vampire. $24, www.tartecosmetics.com

If you love New York and Paris equally, you’ll love these new scents. Honoré des Prés launches its “Smells of New York” organic Parisian fragrances created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti with the city unexpected packaging: A to-go coffee cup in a box. The ‘We Love New York’ collection fragrances are I Love carrots (crisp carrots, sweet vanilla), Love Coco (candied coconut, white cedar) and Vamp in NY (juicy tuberose, warm rum). My personal favourite is Love Coconut:

Head Notes: Seeds & leaves of Cori­ander, fresh coconut milk
Heart Notes: Tonka bean & vanilla bour­bon
Base Notes: White cedar & organic coconut

I have super straight hair and besides my hairstylist giving me the best layers for volume, I use Oribe’s Texturizing Dry Spray. Get bigger, better hair. This invisible dry hair spray builds in incredible volume and sexy texture. Great for touch ups from day to night or vice versa and ideal for the gal on the run. $20 for 75 ml purse size bottle, www.beautymark.ca

Goody’s Spin Pins have changed my life. No more fiddling with a hair elastic trying to get a sloppy chignon up (that does not stay up all day by the way). No matter how thin or thick your hair, with a simple twist and spin of the pins, your “bun” stays put. You’ll have to try them out yourself to believe it. You can pick them up at most drug and beauty stores like Shoppers Drug Mart for $8.
