Mint Bijou is ornate while the latter is a high impact diamonte-filled choker.</p> <p><strong>Best Gift for Beauty-Loving Friend:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="22224" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/holiday-gift-guide-2014-best-gifts-everyone-else/birchbox/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?fit=540%2C360&ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,360" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="birchbox" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?fit=540%2C360&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22224" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?resize=540%2C360" alt="birchbox" width="540" height="360" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?w=540&ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?resize=150%2C100&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/birchbox.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>Have a friend who likes to try every single beauty product and is usually the first to do so?

It’s easy to get a stain – even a make-up one – while getting ready and white dresses are open targets. It’s important to keep an emergency kit handy including bandaids, deodorant, tweezers and Oxiclean. For deodorant, we recommend <a href="https://www.kissmyface.com/body/grid/natural-deodorants" target="_blank">Kiss My Face liquid rock paraben free fragrance free deodorant</a> as it is natural and very handy. For carpet stains, <a href="www.oxiclean.ca/" target="_blank">Oxiclean</a> laundry stain remover can work immediate magic while for clothing stains <a href="www.oxiclean.ca/" target="_blank">Oxiclean</a> laundry detergent can give instant relief until later you get a chance to properly watch the items. We also recommend having Oxiclean dishwashing liquid handy and lots of paper towel if you need to recycle glasses in a pitch and and want that perfect sparkle.</div> <div style="color: #222222;"></div> <p> </p> <div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;"><em><strong>Images via products’ companies</strong></em></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.delectablychic.com/wedding-series-2014-part-iii/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">20872</post-id> </item> <item> <title>To Mother With Love: Gifts for Mother’s Day</title> <link>https://www.delectablychic.com/mother-love-gifts-mothers-day/</link> <comments>https://www.delectablychic.com/mother-love-gifts-mothers-day/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[T.

It features a variety of bath bombs and bubble bars to ensure your mother can be pampered every day of the week. <a href="http://www.lush.ca/Secret-Garden/03845,en_CA,pd.html" target="_blank">The Secret Garden Bath Bomb</a>, pictured above, fizzes in the tub while bursting with flower petals. The <a href="http://www.lush.ca/Inhale-Exhale/05076,en_CA,pd.html" target="_blank">Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb</a> is scented with light melon on one half that fizzes quickly and heady amber and sandalwood on the other half, which is designed to fizz slowly to give a longer, meditative tub experience. Rose bubble bar has organic cocoa butter with built in glimmer and fresh lemon and rose scent. The Mumkin is an adorable addition but the highlight of this set is The Mum Bubble, which is a yellow sunflower on a lollypop stick that looks ironically similar to the Purdy’s Chocolate yellow daisy.</p> <p>Dial also has some really posh new products including a Greek Yogurt Vanilla Honey Body Wash, Dial 7 Day Greek Yogurt Moisturizing Lotion and a <a href="http://www.dialsoap.com/products/greek-yogurt-vanilla-honey-moisturizing-body-wash" target="_blank">Dial Frozen Yogurt Glace Fro-Yo Cooling body wash</a>. This entire set will make your mother feel like Cleopatra with the cooling and luxurious effect of Greek yogurt. With two times the protein nourishment of ordinary yogurt, this body wash is particularly moisturizing.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>For the Mother Who Wants Thicker Hair:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/86358840?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="540" height="304" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em><a href="http://vimeo.com/86358840">PLUMPING.LINE</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user16620217">KEVIN.MURPHY</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</em></strong></p> <p>Thinning hair is a genuine problem as we age. Fortunately, there are some great hair products on the market to counteract this problem. <a href="http://www.kevinmurphy.com.au" target="_blank">Kevin Murphy</a> Plumping Rinse Densifying Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-in plumping treatment for thinning hair, does the job well. Senscience True Hue color protecting treatment comes in 28 capsules and is a power alternative, particularly if two capsules are used on hair at one time. Joico K-Pak Shampoo, Conditioner and Intense Hydrator come in a K-Pak Repair Kit, that makes a fabulous gift set. An alternative gift set is the Moroccanoil Repair Essentials Mother Day Gift Set which includes shampoo, repair conditioner and treatment.

She gives a shoutout to our readers, “I love Canadians. I think they are trendy and fashionable. They embrace OPI. They love new colours. They love the names. There is almost a cultish following of our brand in Canada.”</p> <p>Here her top 5 beauty and fashion tips for DelectablyChic! readers:</p> <p><strong> Be original:</strong> In past, we transformed ourselves to look the same. Now, we transform ourselves to look different.

U. Dawood</strong></em></p> <p><strong>Nail Power:</strong> Use your nails as a fashion accessory. Nails can be very trend-setting, meaning that they don’t have to match lips – in fact, your hands and feet don’t have to match, either! Having perfectly polished digits looks sexy and makes me feel like a movie star.</p> <p><strong>Be iconic:</strong> Always have one signature fashion or beauty secret. Whether it be a signature scent, lip colour or scarf. Be consistent and have people associate you with that look. I always wear a Hermes scarf. Wearing one makes any outfit look instantly chic and elegant.</p> <p><strong>Be timeless:</strong> Yet, at the same time, re-invent yourself through fashion. For example, I still wear Chanel jackets from 15 years ago and they still look great. Chanel is continually reinventing fashion, yet in a timeless way.</p> <p><strong>Know what you want:</strong> Make decisions – whether at work or what to wear – and don’t look back. I am my own focus group and I know what I like.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Photo courtesy of: The Art of … Public Relations/Alex Rivera</strong></em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.delectablychic.com/10-beauty-and-style-tips-shared-by-suzi-weiss-fischmann/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">16050</post-id> </item> <item> <title>OPI Launches its new Fall Collection ‘San Francisco’ in Madrid</title> <link>https://www.delectablychic.com/opi-launches-its-new-fall-collection-san-francisco-in-madrid/</link> <comments>https://www.delectablychic.com/opi-launches-its-new-fall-collection-san-francisco-in-madrid/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[T.

If you are in a sorority, dorm room or simply want to give lots of different women stocking stuffers, we love <a href="http://www.opi.com/">OPI</a>’s The Top Ten which is full of minis of the brand’s best nail colours. If splits into a two 5-combo packs or 10 individuals and features light to dark colours. Another alternative for a serious trend alert would be <a href="http://www.opi.com/">OPI</a>’s Pure Lacquer Nail Apps which are super convenient pre-cut strips. We fell in love with shade <em>Shaken Not Stirred </em>from their <em>Skyfall collection</em> (above)<em>. </em>If you are in a more generous mood, full sized application bottles (as opposed to strips) are also available from that 007 collection. We particularly like ruby coloured <em>You Only Live Twice, </em>the tomato red <em>The Spy Who Loved me, </em>the vampire red <em>Die Another Day </em>and the gilded <em>Goldeneye</em>. These four shades have built in shimmer. For a splash of serious glitter, we love <em>The Living Daylights</em>.</p> <p>Make-up: We highly recommend the lovely holiday colours from <a href="http://maybelline.ca/">Maybelline</a> like <em>Plum</em><em>Perfect</em> lipstick and <em>Gutsy Green</em> Eye Studio shadow set; or some key make-up staples from <a href="http://www.thebay.com/eng/brands/search/beauty-thebay/12576?ad=test&gclid=CNn4iMT387MCFYs7MgodhS8Auw">Elizabeth Arden</a> such as her <em>Vintage Red</em> ceremide Ultra Lipstick and <em>Golden Orchid</em> eye shadow; or the to-die-for <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT159&PRODUCT_ID=PROD23702&SKU_ID=SKU45220">MAC Cosmetics’ <em>Superb</em> Glamour Daze Extra Dimension Mineralize Skinfinish</a> that will make skin look like it has a tan year round, especially when paired with the candyfloss coloured <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT166&PRODUCT_ID=PROD23701&SKU_ID=SKU45217">MAC Cosmetics’ Glamour Daze <em>Pink Fade </em>lipglass lip gloss</a> that epitomizes a Snow Bunny appearance.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="13863" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/holiday-gift-guide-2012-best-stocking-stuffers/snow-fairy-shower-gel/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?fit=350%2C350&ssl=1" data-orig-size="350,350" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":""}" data-image-title="Snow Fairy Shower Gel" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?fit=350%2C350&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13863" title="Snow Fairy Shower Gel" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?resize=350%2C350" alt="" width="350" height="350" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?w=350&ssl=1 350w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Snow-Fairy-Shower-Gel.jpg?resize=80%2C80&ssl=1 80w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>Bath products.
