NewYorkColor: January Challenge #NYCBeautyPro

I love these challenges because they force me to get all done up!

January's challenge: Is all about Demi Lovato!

If you're out of the loop and don't know- She is New York Color's first global ambassador.

More importantly- She can rock a mean smokey eye.

Products we received in our January Kit:

Products used:

• Show Time Smoking Hot Mascara $3.49
• City Proof 24 hr waterproof eyeshadow $4.99
• Expert Satin Matte Lip Color $4.99

The Look:

I'm in love with the stay power of the City Proof 24 hr waterproof eyeshadows. 

I'm so use to "cream" shadows creasing on me but these stayed put!

And those lipsticks.. *swoon* The PERFECT combination of matte & satin. 

I'm wearing Expert Satin Matte Lip Color in Berry Me.

Avon Moisture Therapy line

I live in Canada and I know it's apart of the cycle but I'm annoyed with Winter right now.

We're all suffering from dry skin and chapped lips. 

That's why I'm happy when I find products that work well with sensitive skin.

Introducing Avon's Moisture Therapy Derma line.

This line has clinically been shown to help relieve dryness which is typically 

associated with individuals who suffer from eczema.

Moisture Therapy Derma Soothing Body Lotion ($12.00 CAN)
This mild and gentle lotion delivers the powerful moisturizing benefits of an ointment in the light format of a cream. The formula is really light but hydrating. It doesn't leave a residue behind and a dime sized amount goes a long way.

Moisture Therapy Derma Soothing Body Wash ($12.00 CAN)
This mild body wash for bath or shower gently cleanses while soothing dryness associated with eczema-prone skin. The formula is completely scent-free. The gel is infused with chamomile, aloe and vitamin E. Perfect for daily usage.

Calming Relief Anti-Itch Spray Lotion ($10.00 CAN)
Infused with colloidal oatmeal and menthol- This formula provides temporary relief of itching. This is a very interesting product which comes with a pump. Spray it on your skin, when dryness attacks. It cools it down. Remember it contains menthol- so wash your hands before you rub your eyes.

You can order avon.ca or through your avon representative.

The Park Hyatt Toronto Stillwater Spa: Citrus Treatments + Menu

Did you know that the scent of citrus can improve your energy and relieve stress?

Last week, I had the opportunity to indulge in the benefits of citrus from Sunkist!

The Park Hyatt Toronto Stillwater Spa is now offering Citrus spa treatments as well as citrus inspired meals to boost your spirits. 

Citrus Spa Treatments:

• Navel Orange Body Scrub
• Grapefruit Massage with a hand and foot exfoliation
• Navel Orange Food Scrub
• Lemon Hand Scrub

Each treatment captures the essence of each Sunkist citrus fruit.

For example: The Navel Orange Body Scrub contains good stuff like raw sugar, organic honey and fresh squeezed Sunkist® Navel orange juice. 

Food:

• Detox Juice
• Kale & Sunkist® Orange Salad with Oyster Mushrooms and Miso Dressing
• Chili Sunkist® Lime Seared Scallops with Grilled Corn Salsa
• Sunkist® Lemon Tart

Chef Joan Monfaredi created a tasting menu to enlighten us on the health & wellness benefits of citrus. You would love the detox juice! It contains Sunkist® Navel oranges, green grapes, watermelon and fresh mint.

I had the grapefruit Massage with a hand and foot exfoliation and LOVED it! 

Definitely worth checking out if you're in need of some TLC.

Note: The citrus-inspired spa treatments will be available at Stillwater Spa Toronto from January 20th to February 28th, 2015.
