Dave’s Faves for October

Estée Lauder Enlighten Skintone Correcting Collection, $46 to $105

New research shows daytime damage leads to a proliferation of pigmentation each night. This new formula works night and day to help break the cycle of daily assaults and irritation that leads to hyperpigmentation and dark spots. This product works with the skin’s own 24-hour cycles.

Anna Sui Lipstick V, $30

New York designer Anna Sui offers a brand new lipstick design with a star-shaped bullet. Each of her beauty products is lightly scented with rose oil including these new lipsticks. The package design is new as well – a nod to her love of vintage fashions and accessories.

MAC Brooke Shields collection, $19.50 to $105

The latest in MAC’s beauty icon series, Brooke Shields designs a comprehensive colour collection of nudes and smoky shades. The star product is a 15-shade eyeshadow palette called “Gravitas”.

Shiseido Makeup Sparkling Party Palette, $58

This palette contains six shades that can be used on lips, cheeks and eyes to create a special look for any holiday party. The faux gemstone compact is designed to get you into the mood for that holiday party with close friends.

Fendi L’Acquarossa + gwp red pouches, $114

A glamorous, floral woody fragrance for her by the famed Italian fashion house. It contains notes of Sicilian bergamot, Calabria plum accord, magnolia, Damascena rose, orange flower, cedarwood and musk. What’s most exciting is the trio of red cosmetic pouches that come as a gift with purchase. These are sleek and beautifully designed – just like the Fendi accessories that you’d find in Milan and Rome boutiques.

Paco Rabanne Invictus, $88

This fresh, woody men’s fragrance was a blockbuster hit in Europe last year. It officially launches in North America this month and is fronted by rugby star Nick Youngquest (who made an exclusive appearance on Cityline recently.)
