All about eyes We found a great alternative to the usual black liquid eyeliner, in a hue that hits the right note with fall -- a deep, inky purple.
Splurge Guerlain Divinora eye-liner in Mauve Profound ($32) has a super fine brush that allows you to create a thin line close to the base of your lashes for a day look, or by spreading the brush out, you can create a sexy night time look with a thicker line. Available at Sephora stores across Canada. Visit guerlain.com for more information.
Steal Almay Intense I-Colour Liquid Liner in Purple Amethyst ($10.99) gives a lighter shade of purple and can be smudge right after applying for a smoky look, or if you let it dry it gives a nice clean, budge-proof line. Available at drugstores across Canada. Visit almay.com for more information.
Smooth cover up Looking for a double-duty concealer? We found two -- that both cover up darker circles or imperfections and they smooth out fine lines at the same time! The best of both worlds in one product, who could ask for more?
Splurge Dior Diorskin Sculpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer in beige ($29) does exactly what it says it will do -- it provides a light coverage for dark circles and smoothes out any tiny lines around your eyes. Available at Dior counters across Canada. Visit dior.com for more information.
Steal Revlon Age Defying Concealer with Botafirm in light ($11.99) is a creamier concealer that you pat on with your finger. It gives a thicker coverage while disguising those pesky fine lines. Available at drugstores across Canada. Visit revlon.com for more information.
Raspberry lips Prolong your love of summer glosses with two raspberry hinted glosses that add not only shine and flavour, but a hint of shimmer.
Splurge Lancome Juicy Tubes Jelly Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss in Raspberry Ice ($17.50) is super sweet, shiny and stays put for a long length of time. The gold flecks of shimmer will have you thinking of warm sunny days on cool autumn nights. Available at Lancome counter across Canada. Visit lancome.ca for more information.
Steal Cover Girl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers in Raspberry Splash ($7.99) will make you feel like summer has never left with it's fruit scent and the lip-smacking flavour. Available at drugstores across Canada. Visit covergirl.com for more information.
