SATURDAY NIGHT-OUT MAKEUP INSPIRATION...



Often, we go out on Saturday for "girls night out" wondering "what to wear, what kind of makeup should I apply?"

Well, last night, I had the same problem-but thought I would share with you results of my strategy.
Usually, on weekend night out, people wear lots of black - so I thought of something different!
I did choose green dress w/ blue accents on the wavy sleeves - and because outfit was already quite loud I decided to go with more classy - yet quite elegant look:-)

Here is what I used:

Face
Base - Secret Divin / Guerlain
Foundation - Parure Extreme /  Guerlain
Powder - Meteorities Pressed Powder / Guerlain
Blush- Blush Duo in Chic Pink / Guerlain

Eyes
Eyeliner in black - The Original Creamy Khol Me Kajal / Guerlain
Mascara - Noir G / Guerlain
False Lashes / Ardell

Lips
Rouge G No.25 / Guerlain

A WONDER OF NATURE - NEW DRY REMEDY OIL INTRODUCED BY AVEDA





Yesterday, I had a pleasure to try a new product introduced by Aveda as an addition to their Dry Remedy line - Dry Remedy Oil - thanks to Diva Salon&Spa!
The line itself is one of my fav one - especially here in Calgary, where it is so dry-we often forget that we should treat properly not only our skin - but hair as well. Aveda's Dry Remedy products instantly moisturize dry and brittle hair. Patented deep-moisture complex features buriti oil that helps hydrate hair.


Their newest product - the oil - is even more powerful one when it comes to hydration: it instantly moisturizes your hair by 41%! Moreover, it leaves your hair soft and full of shine!
But what was most important for me - it is formulated without silicone - so it takes only few drops to moisture hair & at the same time - one bottle (30ml - $27) will last you a very long time!!!


You can stop at any Diva Salon&Spa location to pick up your free sample of the oil(till the quantity lasts)!! Looking forward to hear your comments!!!

Thank you again to girls from Diva for adding great relaxation time into my crazy busy day!!!

ROMANTIC DESTINATIONS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY - ROYALTON CAYO SANTA MARIA/CUBA


As the most romantic day of the year quickly approaches, many people I know start asking the inevitable question, “how am I going to celebrate Valentine’s Day and also surprise my sweetheart with the ultimate romantic gesture.” Well, it comes down to your imagination but also, it comes down to money.
Some of us appreciate simple, loving gestures that are shared every day, not only on this "special day".  Others are looking for more “unique” gifts.

Personally, I am not a fan of Valentine's Day - but since I recently received a few emails on how to celebrate this special day - I thought I would share some ideas with you over the next few weeks.

As February can be quite a cold month, there is nothing better than escaping to sun drenched beaches and hot weather!
Why not to choose a romantic getaway to an adult-only resort?
Why not to choose place that is not too far away yet still beautiful, romantic and tranquil? How about Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba!! 


You can discover Caribbean hospitality at its finest when you stay at Royalton Cayo Santa Maria - a luxurious resort on a tiny island situated off the northern coast of Cuba. Linked to the mainland by a causeway, Cayo Santa Maria possesses panoramic landscapes, and the best beaches in the region.




Guests are welcomed into the wonderful world of Royalton with a delicious cocktail, cold towel service, a bottle of rum in each room, beach towels and other luxurious amenities upon arrival. It is easy to understand why the Royalton Cayo Santa Maria is considered by TripAdvisor® users to be the number one resort in the Caribbean.


Its modern All-In Luxury™ concept features first-class amenities in 122 elegantly designed Junior and Royalton Suites, exceptional 24-hour service, decadent culinary experiences at three à la carte restaurants, 
and state-of-the-art facilities. 
From the air-conditioned comfort of the lobby, in the refreshing, swim-up pool bar, or beachside in the tropical breeze, adults can meet and mingle over signature cocktails and beverages.







You can also get an upgrade to Diamond Club so you will be treated to a world of special services and perks. Featuring Diamond Club Lounge private access, you can indulge in premium beverages, snacks, desserts, business services, and daily continental breakfast. Diamond Club members will also enjoy dedicated butler service, exclusive suites with luxurious amenities, a 10 per cent discount on spa services, 24-hour concierge and room services, 
and a mini-bar, refreshed daily.



 Royalton Cayo Santa Maria is the ideal adults only getaway where guests can take part in fun-filled activities like non-motorized sports from kayaking and snorkelling to windsurfing and catamaran sailing. As a privileged guest of this all inclusive resort, booking a vacation at the Royalton Cayo Santa Maria means enjoying access to the facilities, activities and specialty restaurants of neighbouring resort, Memories Paraiso Azul Beach Resort, offering the amenities of two resorts for the price of one.



The Caribbean beach house design, turquoise waters, and stunning white-sand beach make Royalton Cayo Santa Maria is the perfect backdrop for intimate getaways, including Valentine's Day.

To book your next romantic getaway, contact your local travel agent.
