Chanel lipsticks

Chanel is serving up a new make-up experience exclusively at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street Location in Toronto and I attended the launch, hosted by Fashion Television’s Jeanne Beker, last week. Aptly named 5 à 7, this make-up application service slash cocktail hour can be booked by you and up to five friends on Thursdays and Fridays from five to seven. Select a look from a menu that includes Bronze Goddess, Red Carpet, and 5 to Whenever (I ordered Seasonal Chic), graze on some hors d’oeuvres and knock back a couple of mock-tails while getting your make-up done.  The booking fee of $75 per person is redeemable in Chanel products.  Très magnifique!

To book an appointment, visit the Chanel Counter at the Holt Renfrew Bloor Street Location or call 416-922-2333.

To prevent the unsightly uni-brow, we pluck, tweeze, wax and laser our way to hair-free perfection (oh, the things we do!) Luckily, Bombay Brow Bar has brought the ancient method of Indian threading to a moden, chic space bursting with rich hues. Brow Sculptresses use cotton thread to remove hair from the root, allowing for precise and controlled trimming. An array of services includes a Bombshell Brows package ($23), a V.I.P. style treatment that covers shaping, forehead and brow massage, rose water eye gel application and brow finishing, Bombay a-la-carte ($10) to remove unwanted hairs from above the neck, and the Brow-licious Tint ($17) for some serious eye-catching face framers. They even offer brow taming for the boys ($19)! Enjoy a cup of chai while you flip through the latest copy of Vogue India to insure the ultimate Bombay experience. The best part about Bombay Brow Bar’s services? It all takes under 20 minutes!

Visit Bombay Brow Bar at 1056 Mainland St., Vancouver or call 604-683-BROW (2769).

If you’re planning a weekend trip to Victoria, be sure to stop in at Deco De Mode Nail Spa. This trendy spa, located in the heart of downtown, is a fave of Pamela Anderson. She loves the selection of colours and makes sure she stops in for a manicure and pedicure every time she visits Victoria. With affordable services such as a new skin bar by Dermalogica, spa parties for brides or groups of 6, manicures, pedicures, gels, acrylic, lash tint, waxing, massages, and the oh-so-popular 3d nail art, you’ll get pampered like a star. So be sure to treat yourself between shopping sprees on Johnson Street, before Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Emprise Hotel, or after a stroll through the BC Museum.
