eyelash affair {Nuvo Editorial}

What do you think about coloured false eyelashes? Love that in the first pic they're not very noticeable but in the second image you can see the tips. Loving this fashion spread in the NUVO magazine, aside from the lashes I'm in love with the hair. After my wedding I want bangs! 

Bonjour Paris! {travel teaser}

Apologies for the lack of posts here at beautyparler.ca, been just a tad busy with wedding planning and travelling for work and pleasure. However, I'm always thinking of my readers and here are a few teaser pictures from my recent trip to Paris! Enjoy! xo

June Beauty Favourites!

june faves by beautyparler on Polyvore.com

Lancome - Summer Collection Bronze Azure, blush in shade Desert Rose
Gorgeous Summer shade with bronze & rose pink. Subtle shimmer, gives cheeks a nice glow. Not a fan of Lancome blush packaging, wish they'd redesign to a more modern style as the black plastic feels a bit cheap, but the product itself is great as the blush lasts all day

Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment 
A light-weight hair oil that can be applied on wet or dry hair after styling. I prefer applying on wet hair & air drying, doesn't weigh hair down. And no greasy feel afterwards!

Lise Watier Eyeshdow Palette Bora Bora
Gorgeous tropical shades! These colours are fabulous for a night out or use the lighter shades for the day as a wash over lids. My fave is the blue & the sage shade!

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 | Ultra-Light sunscreen fluid for face
Sunscreen is a must for Summer & this light weight sunscreen is perfect as not in a creamy format but rather in a runny lotion that looks watery but applies nicely. Shake! Shake! Though as the contents must be stirred.


Those were my June favourites, what were yours? Hope you are all having a fabulous Summer thus far!

Favourite Summer Scents

Perfume is such a personal preference, my favourites could smell completely different on someone else. However, thought I'd share a few Summer scents. What I love about the perfumes listed are that they are not too strong and they smell "fresh", not over powering for Summer. Nothing is worse than an over perfumed women!

Summer fragrance by beautyparler on Polyvore.com

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette
This is my work perfume, I have the roll-on applicator and its perfect for travel.

Dolce & Gabbana 'Light Blue' Eau de Toilette Spray
A favourite I discovered last Summer, reminds me of my Europe vacation last Summer.
Don't you have a perfume that reminds you of vacations?

Victoria`s Secret Very Sexy Now 2011 Limited Edition Bottle
This is a very Summery fragrance, this bottle is limited edition. The version I have is just a clear orange bottle.
A great everyday perfume.

Lise Watier Bora Bora Limited Edition 
This is a vacation in a bottle, very tropical!!

Happy Canada Day with a Royal touch

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Will & Kate, are in Canada on their first Royal visit as a married couple. Here she's wearing the same Reiss dress as she wore for her official engagement photos...love that! And the Maple Leaf inspired fasincator, I am impressed. Starting to like her fashion choices more and more.
