This Spring/Summer, we’re seeing an array of brights from head to toe and your lips are going to have to show up as well. If you haven’t noticed yet, bright lips are popping up on red carpets and fashion runways galore. The most coveted hue for 2012 is coral. It can be easily worn for every day life paired with some muted neutral tones. You’ll see it in many forms from soft pastel mattes to shockingly glossy brights.

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 … more …

I want to cuddle up by the fireplace in this cashmere sweater by Valentine K. I’m diggin’ the leather elbow patches. Did I mention it’s also a Canadian based brand? Stellar! Retails ranging from $305 - $325.

As much as we all look forward to some holiday cheer, it always becomes a very stressful and busy time. You’re sprinting from shop to grocery store, running from one family dinner to the next soiree with friends…tired and sore feet are a given.
