Back In Black

For those of you who want to keep up to date with Fall Fashion – follow the 5 shades of Fall…

Learn simple tips and tricks on how to incorporate small flares that make a big statement to your look!

It’s impossible NOT to include BLACK in our five shades of fall…

Black is every girl’s go to when it comes to clothing, but now we can get away with black polish, make-up and accessories without people wondering if we’re mourning, Wiccan or Goth!

Black Out ($6.00) by Orly was one of our Fall Polish Picks as well. It’s perfect on it’s own or under a sheer red, gold, purple or blue polish! Black out is easy to apply because of it’s rich and opaque consistency! Don’t be offended if your Grandparents aren’t fans!

Don’t be spooked by attempting a smokey eye! There’s a technique to flatter every eye shape, the Lift Beauty Girls can show you which is best for your eyes!

If BLACK make-up and nails are a bit too extreme for you, try adding a little extra with a great hair accessory. This hair band ($22.00) is one of the Lift Beauty Girl’s favorites! Adds great texture, glamour and umph to what would be a boring or not so special hair style!

Out of the Blue…

Haven’t seen them in years but bold Blues are BACK this year!
Blue on the eyes seems intimidating ‘cause no one wants a throw back to the ‘80s. But if done right, this trend can make your natural eye colour POP! Blue Suede ($14.50) is Lift’s take on a classy blue liner. It’s heavily pigmented and super easy to apply because of it’s creamy texture.
Not daring enough to bring back that 80’s style? Try adding a bold blue accessory like this fun bracelet ($18.00) to a colourless outfit!

A Thief's Best Friend - 14karat

For those of you who want to keep up to date with Fall Fashion – follow the 5 shades of Fall…
Learn simple tips and tricks on how to incorporate small flares that make a big statement to your look!

We’ve covered red – Lets talk GOLD!
Summer may be over, but it doesn’t mean, you can’t keep those golden blonde locks lookin’ fresh! Schwarzkopf’s BlondMe Mouse ($19.95) adds volume and gold pigment to your hair. I’m a sucker for all of the BlondMe products, they transform my mousey, dirty blond hair into glowing golden tresses… try the Shampoo, Moisture Mask and Mouse to get the best results!
Cameron showed off one of Oscar De La Renta’s Fall 2010 Golden masterpieces at the Oscars. Her soft gold eye shadow and highlight, similar to Lift’s White Gold ($15.00) and Oyster Pearl ($15.00) truly compliment the dress and fall’s trends.
If your hair isn’t blonde and Gold shadow is a bit extreme for you – try adding a focal point to your look with a bold-gold accessory! We’ve got gold bracelets, necklace and hair accessories galore – these beauties (Necklaces $28.00) are just a sample of what we’ve got!

Caught RED Handed…

For those of you who want to keep up to date with Fall Fashion – follow the 5 shades of Fall…
Learn simple tips and tricks on how to incorporate small flares that make a big statement to your look!

Let’s start with RED! We’ve talked a number of times about the different shades of red and how they can make a great statement or a terrible one if done wrong!
This fall look for the following products to add the perfect POP to your look:

Even Christian Loubitan agrees, red is the perfect touch for a pop of colour. We’re seeing a ton of Leopard print in stores for fall, red seems to accent it perfectly.
Try our Fall Polish Pick, Ruby Red by Orly.

Fashion Induced Stress Case!

Photo Cred: elle.com

Does your DESIRE to look Fashionable make you happy or give you grief?

Weekend = Social Activity = ANXIETY!

*I ask this question because lately when it comes time for me to get dolled up for a social engagement I find myself feeling stressed out!

Hair and Make-up, I LOVE DOING! Infact, I look forward to doing my hair and make-up for a night out!
I'm confident in my abilities and always feel like my hair and make-up looks just right!

But when it comes to clothing, I definitely get worked up and generally my room looks like a tornado has passed threw it by the time I have found an outfit!

I have been trying to blame it on my wardrobe, but honestly it can't be the problem! I have more clothes than any one person needs and if I do say so myself I have a great balance of basics, classics and statement pieces.

I think the 2 main reasons that getting dressed stresses me out are;

  1. I watch too much TV, Read too many Magazines and follow too many fashion blogs! I WANT, I WANT, I WANT! Honestly, everywhere I turn, I see something new that I want and then when I try to get dressed, all I can think about is what I DON'T have!
  2. My body keeps changing! It seems from week to week I'm a different size and/or shape! None of my clothes fit the way they are suposed to anymore! I'm on a budget ladies, I can't just replace my entire wardrobe!
I just want to look my best!!! Should I just go on a bit of a VISA shopping spree?

Are any of you feeling this???
Is it because of the season change, or do you feel it year round??
Does great hair and make-up take away from a bad outfit? 
Can I get away with wearing so/so clothing because my hair and make-up are styled to perfection?

Pealing off the Layers!


 It's Friday... here's a tip for you...



As much as we are all starting to get SUPER excited about the weather warming up, it would be totally dishonest of me to say that I wasn't slightly worried!

This weekend I started putting away some of my winter clothes and brought out my Spring and Summer wardrobe, I needed to assess what I had, what I need to purchase to update my look and see if I could fit into all of it!

I have been hiding under over-sized sweaters and scarves for the past 4 months. Here's the problem: I have a tendency of putting 5-7lbs on between the months of October and February, EVERY YEAR. Girls, I know it isn't fun to admit, but I know you are feeling this too! I hear it ALL day at the Boutique! Let's not complain about it, lets do something about it!

1. DRINK A LOT OF WATER, I try to drink at least 2L's EVERY DAY!


2. 100 Crunches, 30 push-ups, and a 20min. walk EVERY DAY!


3. Eat 6 SMALL meals, EVERY DAY!


and


4. Be positive, smile and never be TOO hard on yourself!


I've done this for a week straight and have already lost 2lbs! I know I'll be ready for my summer wardrobe!


If you want to a take a more serious approach check out MARV!


Once I find some free time, I will be trying out his "Women's Hybrid Work Out"
