Calgary International Film Festival 2012 - Red Carpet Gala Opening...

Yesterday, on September 20th 2012 CIFF launched its 2012 Festival with a Red Carpet Opening Night Gala held at Calgary's Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, hosted by Alberta Culture Minister - Heather Klimchuk. As every year-the festival will continue over an 11-day period where over 150 multi-genre films will be screened thanks to new partnership with Telefim Canada, the Canada Media Fund (CMF), Alberta Film and Enbridge.

"We’re delighted to share this major Canadian film event with the Calgary audience, celebrating together with a who’s who from Alberta’s political and business communities, film sector, and of course this great Canadian filmmaker.”, said Stephen Schroeder, Executive Director of the Calgary International Film Festival.

"Midnight’s Children", the film directed by Canada’s Deepa Mehta that explores the legacy of India’s independence, was the opening night film of the Calgary International Film Festival 2012. Based on the Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children follows the lives of two children who are born on the eve of India’s independence from Britain.

I absolutely loved what Mayor of Calgary - Naheed Nenshi said -  “CIFF presents our very best in film beside amazing work from around Canada and the world, and it will be a thrill to have Ms. Mehta join us this year" - showing also the support for the collaboration between the private and public sectors which promote culture and connect us to new opportunities and the rest of the world!

SALMA HAYEK'S MAKEUP LOOKS BY YSL BEAUTE

 It was this time of the year again when 2012 Deauville Film Festival was held and with that being said-lots of special guests and celebrities appearance. One of them was stunning as always - Salma Hayek, who looked absolutely beautiful in a makeup look by Lloyd Simmonds - Creative Director for Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. He created two different looks - perfect for day-time as well as evening festival arrangements.

With luminous complexion highlighting her naturally tanned skin, blushed cheeks to sculpt her features,lightly made-up eyes and nude lips, Salma looked stunning while striding alone at the famous boardwalk to attend the press conference for her latest film - "Savages".

During the evening - at the Deauville Film Festival Award Ceremony, actress switched for a more glamorous makeup look - smokey eyes and bright lips!!

INDULGE IN LUXURY WITH...LOVEFRESH!!!

What you give is what you get - that is the ideology behind LOVEFRESH - a luxurious line of all-natural body care products. LOVEFRESH - a proudly Canadian company,uses only fresh ingredients and natural essential oils to create mouth-watering scents such as key lime coconut, pink grapefruit&tangerine, and pomegranate.

For the last 5 years, Stacey Davis - the Founder of LOVEFRESH since 2006, has built a loyal following for those who want the most authentic products available. Stacey is a creative chemist of sorts and she is directly involved in every step of the process from recipe development to packaging.

All the products are as pure as scent they are in formulation!!! I can honestly approve that - I just received my gift package from LOVEFRESH yesterday and I found two amazing products - the Body Butter and Pink Grapefruit&Tangerine Scrub!!! Honestly - I couldn't stop smelling them - and what a surprise - even my husband was very interested in them!!!

If you would love to know more about the brand  - just check the brand's website at www.lovefresh.com

There is a possibility to order the products online but you can also find them at selected retailers across Canada!!!

MY EUROPEAN VOYAGE WITH GUERLAIN.....

While I was recently in Europe, I wanted to check out the beauty counters at the top cosmetic departments.

One of my favourite was the Guerlain counter at Harrods in London - where the new Guerlain fragrance - La Petite Robe Noir was just launched!!

Then, what a surprise, when I came out from the train station in the centre of Warsaw and saw this!!!! Big poster promoting this beautiful fragrance - I couldn't help and had to take a photo of it!!!

Looks like the Parisian scent is everywhere......

DISCOVER LUXURY WITH LA PRAIRIE...

Those of You - who are Fashion&Beauty Lovers - name "La Prairie" speaks for itself!!! 

But for those, who didn't have a chance to hear about it before - it is one of the most prestigious beauty brand in the world. 

La Prairie is dedicated to keeping skin as young looking as possible, as long as possible, and the team at La Prairie works tirelessly to continuously introduce high-performance products that react, delay and intercept the aging of the skin.  

With the four La Prairie essentials - an eye cream, a serum, a moisturizer and a foundation - every skin has the tools it needs to effectively confront the problems of premature aging, environmental hazards and the stress of contemporary life.

Earlier this year, La Prairie launched two serums ( by the way - serum is one of the most powerful product within each skincare); including the most recent one -

Cellular Power Serum, nicknamed the “bodyguard” as it acts as your skin’s own personal bodyguard against aging. 

This item joins the Power Collection which includes our youth pack infusion vials: Cellular Power Infusion and Cellular Power Charge Night.  It’s a potent, plant-infused serum (enriched with many of Cellular Power Infusion’s ingredients & then some!) to encourage the expression of skin’s OWN natural defense system so it remains on constant alert (against stressors) and functions optimally, as skin did when it was younger.   

No matter what age you are or skin type you have, if you want extraordinary protective and defensive qualities against aging, plus increased energy of skin cells, Cellular Power Serum is for you.

If I have a chance to test this product - I will make sure I would update you with all the details and my personal opinion about it!!!

For those of You, who would like to learn more about the brand - just visit La Prairie website:

If You are interested in seeing all range of La Prairie products - You can find them at selected beauty counters across Canada (in Calgary - at Holt Renfrew).
