Last night I had the privilage of working alongside Chloe Eckert, Creative Consultant for X-Weighted, an awesome health and wellness documentary style show featured on the Slice Network.

X-Weighted is in it’s 3rd Season now and will be featuring individual families and thier journey to lose weight together over a 6mth period.  Filming has ended now, which means it’s “Reveal Time” for the families and thier success stories.  That’s where I come in!
I was brought on board to complete thier transformation with the long awaited, “After” shots.  I designed the hair and makeup for the entire family in preparation for their photoshoot.  It was a really long night, but well worth it, cuz now my work will be featured in their upcoming premier show, yeah me!
This is the second time my work will be broadcast on television.  I also did a photoshoot with local designer, Kim Cathers for her line Kdon.  That very photoshoot got Kim chosen to be a contestant on “Project Runway Canada”, and was then featured on their Premier show.  Best feeling EVER!
Anyway, Chloe was wicked, and a pleasure to work with!  I’m so glad that I got the opportunity to work with her.
Everyone needs to check out the Premier, October 14th on the Slice Network.

Anybody that knows me can tell you that I am completely and unequivocally obcessed with skin primers.  I have spent many hours in Sephora, browsing the isles, desperately seeking that one miracle primer that will make all my smooth skin dreams comes true.

Well…today I can proudly say that I think I may have found “The One”.

On a recent trip to Seattle I accidently came across this product by Smashbox.  Like mana from Heaven it literally fell off the shelf and into my lap.  Smashbox has a long line of primers in thier Photo Finish collection.  I have tried most of them before, but they ceased to impress.  This new primer, which is exclusively sold at Sephora in Canada for $37, works wonders for fine lines, and those dreaded enlarged pores.
I’m used to gel primers like that of my timeless fav, MAC’s Matte, but this is more of a creamy consistancy, which threw me off at first, but now I love the shine free matte texture it delivers.  It works fantastic under your foundation and concealer, providing a perfectly smooth , shine-free base throughout the day.  It will definitely become a staple product in my kit from now on.
Those unsightly pores are deminished before my very eyes, what more could a girl ask for!
