Since the very beginning, the vision of this event was to deliver a memorable evening of a unique cultural experiences set against the backdrops of the museum's amazing exhibits - and.....it did truly fulfilled its promise!!

The evening began with its VIP Reception in the beautifully designed space, followed by the feature presentation of renowned Canadian radio&TV journalist, "The Hour" host - George Stroumboupoulos,  this time interviewed on the stage by Canadian actress, producer - Rebecca Northan.

After fantastic&funny talking - all guests could choose their own adventure, partying on three floors!!
The rooms were filled with live music entertainment - Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, Jk & The Static, Sophie Serafino - as well as extraordinary cuisine, cocktails and conversations. But what is more unique, art lovers had a chance to check the gallery and its unique exhibitions,such as "Made in Calgary: The 1960's Preview Exhibition"; " Mavericks and First Nations Galleries and Entertainment" and "Art Park Silent Auction" featuring the 11 wonderful works of art that have been donated by some of  local galleries and their artists.

GUERLAIN SPRING 2013 MAKE-UP LOOK



This time of a year is always exciting because most of the beauty brands revealing their new make-up looks for upcoming season. Because I love Guerlain since I first started using their products-I couldn't wait to see their 2013 Spring Make-up collection worn by beautiful - as always - Natalia Vodianova.

Look at her eyes-they are mesmerizing!!!!The new Mxi Lash Mascara has a full round brush with cross action fibres to coat lashes giving them instant volume, curl and thickness. And it comes in two shades - black(noir) and violet!!



There are two new eye palette's - the Ecrin 4 Couleurs Collectors Palette's. Those long lasting powder eye shadows come in shades of violets&greens : 501 Attrape-Coeur - which are mauve, violet, white and purple, as well as 502 Coup de Foudre - which are green, silvery pattina, bronze khaki and intense coral.



 The eye pencil - Le Crayon - comes in 5 shades, which are 01 Black Jack, 02 Jackie Brown, 03 Deep Purple ( see the picture below), 04 Katy Navy and 05 Amber Silver.

Meteorites are one of my favourite Guerlain makeup products!! The new Meteorites Perles du Paradis -has different shades of illuminating, sparkling powder balls that are much larger than those
 from the previous collections. Six different colored pearls range from pale pink, peachy pink, icy pink, medium pink, dark pink and silver.
The new, gorgeous light pink container also comes with a pink furry powder puff with a black bow on the top of it.



The perfect makeup cannot be complete without appropriate texture&shine!!
