SB: What are you must have beauty products?
LMD: My must have beauty products are the things I have in my purse at all times. Pressed powder because I live in California and of course it gets really hot outside. Of course I love lip gloss and  lip stain. Also lotion because you want to keep your skin feeling soft and moisturized. At the end of the day that's really important.

SB: What is your signature style?

LMD: I would say my signature style is a bit of a eclectic mix because I live in Hollywood, California. It's Lady Gaga, meets Mickey Avalon and Katy Perry. I always like to challenge myself with fashion. At the end of the day I'm daring and I know I can pull something off! Other people will then hopefully be inspired to take bigger chances.

SB: What do you love about Toronto?

LMD: Oh my god! What I love about T dot? It's the people, the spirit and the energy! It's amazing! I love it. I've been welcomed with such warmth.


I loved taking to Lisa on the pink carpet. She was fun and really friendly! Look out with my interview with Camille Mc Donald coming out later this week.

MUST HAVE: Hawaiian Tropic® Sunscreen Lotions

I'm going on a vacation for my birthday! I'm excited.

One of the most important things to bring with me will be sunscreen. As a WOC I am still prone to sunburns and skin cancer. For the past three weeks, I have been trying out brands to bring with me.

I am looking for a brand that has a few things:

• Pleasant scent
• High SPF
• Light weight

The Hawaiian Tropic® does it. 

Plus they have something for everyone!

Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer Effect SPF 30
Uses mica mineral shimmer to highlight skin tone, allowing you to look your best while keeping your skin safe from the sun.

This one is the most glamorous of the bunch. Did you know that gold shimmer is the perfect way to hide skin imperfections! Try it on your stretch marks and scars.

Hawaiian Tropic® Silk Hydration™ Sunscreen Lotion
The unique hydrating ribbons replenish moisture for up to 12 hours, allowing you to pamper your skin while providing protection from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.

If you find sunscreen dries out your skin, try this one!

 The moisturizing swirls really helped my legs from not drying out through out the day.

I should add that the hydrating ribbons are infused with silk protein and shea butter.

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF 85 Sunscreen Lotion
To ensure maximum protection from the sun’s intense rays, this surprisingly lightweight sunscreen provides photostable UVA and UVB protection while seducing senses with its signature tropical fragrance.

I'm bringing this one for sure because it's light weight, waterproof and grease free. 

A little bit goes a LONG way.

 I'm happy that these have that signature Hawaiian Tropic® coconut fragrance.

Prices range from $9.99 to $11.99 CDN.

Do you wear sunscreen daily?

Beauty News: OPI, Shinto Clinical Beauty, The Body Shop & Murad

OPI launches Pure Lacquer Nail Apps for instantaneous manicures and pedicures created using precut nail strips made of 100% real nail lacquer – providing a high-gloss finish, long-lasting wear and zero dry time. Offered in both cream and shimmer finishes, Nail Apps are available in 14 different styles – ranging in design from edgy snake print and fishnet to feminine gold lace and floral.

“To make Nail Apps last even longer, upgrade your service by having your manicurist cure the nail strips with a GelColor Top Coat. With this addition, Nail Apps will last up to two weeks,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “If you chose at-home application, place each Nail App carefully, trimming where necessary. Top coat is not recommended. Within minutes, your nails will be uniquely designed like never before!”

I want to try these so bad!!!

Tell me if you see these in stores.

Did you see Kimora Lee Simmons on the Shopping Channel back in April? 

She debuted her new line, Shinto Clinical Beauty in Canada.
I'm loving the packaging!

Shinto Clinical is packed with anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory ingredients that have been fused into state-of-the-art delivery systems to rejuvenate and nourish skin.

I truly think I was born lippy! I think it's that Island blood flowing through my veins...I'm joking.

This month The Body Shop came out with the lovely Born Lippy™ Stick Lip Balm.

 I usually wear them under my lipsticks because they have a thicker consistency.

I think that is why they make my make my lip color last longer.

Less touch ups through out the day makes me a happy girl.

Gives lips a pop of color, a shot of moisture and a soft shine.

Murad has come out with a new Intensive Resurfacing Peel.

• Resurfaces to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Brightens tone and smoothes texture
  
  I love Murad because it works with my skin.
  That's big because I'm prone to breakouts.

The formula is very light.
There are Glycolic and Salicylic Acid in the formula to reveal a fresh glow.

Have you tried/want to try any of these products?
