NEW Clinique Chubby Stick Shades 2026

MAC Cosmetics hosted one of the biggest beauty par MAC Cosmetics hosted one of the biggest beauty parties of summer 2026 recently to showcase its Lustreglass lip collections. Dubbed “House of Glass”, the party was hosted in a downtown rooftop suite overlooking the Toronto skyline where influencers, editors, drag queens and bodybuilders sipped cocktails, tried out the LustreGlass shades and basically looked fabulous. 

@maccosmeticscanada was a pioneer in this kind of event. Philip Ing, the creative director for these global events, envisioned the most spectacular visuals and experiences years ago. He’s later bring this to a larger audience with his Fashion Cares fashion shows. I don’t know how he got away with painting nude models and having them on display at store openings throughout Europe, but he did. It remains such a special brand to me as it was created in Canada. So nice to see this custom continuing.

Giveaway: It’s Clinique Moisture Surge Month and I Giveaway: It’s Clinique Moisture Surge Month and I’m celebrating by giving away this special Clinique x AFC Toronto Moisture Surge set on Instagram. This Clinique prize includes a collector Clinique x AFC Toronto Stanley Flowstate commuter mug, two Moisture Surge 100H Auto Replenishing Hydrator 50 ml, two Moisture Surge Glow Serums 50 ml, All About Eyes Eye Cream 15 ml, Moisture Surge Exfoliating Glow Cleanser 150 ml, a Clinique key chain and a mini Moisture Surge Lip Hydro-Plump Treatment.

Moisture Surge is one of my all-time favourite moisturizers. Did you know Moisture Surge Intense was originally created especially for the global brand president of Clinique, Lynne Greene, who had developed very dry skin by spending so much time on airplanes for work? She asked the lab to make her a lightweight moisturizer that offered exceptional hydration. She loved it so much that she decided to launch it at retail. It was an overnight success. Clinique customers loved the lightweight, dermatologist-tested gel moisturizer because it felt so good on skin keeping it hydrated and soothed throughout the day and night. It’s particularly good for sensitive skin as it is 100% fragrance-free. 

I was happy to see following the enthusiastic response to the recent Black Honey campaign starring players from women’s pro soccer team @afc.toronto , the six athletes are back starring in a new campaign promoting Moisture Surge. It is a product that works for all ages, all skin types and for men and women.

There's something special about seeing a beauty br There's something special about seeing a beauty brand celebrate confidence that goes beyond skincare.

@cliniquecanada 's Unstoppable Together campaign with @afc.toronto is a reminder that when young women are encouraged to play sports, supported by their teammates and surrounded by role models, they gain so much more than athletic skills. They build confidence, resilience and lifelong friendships.

Moisture Surge helps keep skin hydrated, but the real glow comes from showing up for one another.

I’m proud to see Clinique supporting @womenandsportca and helping inspire the next generation of female athletes.

Did you know that 95% of new fragrances that launc Did you know that 95% of new fragrances that launch do not make it to their tenth anniversary? Fragrance is one of the most competitive categories in all retail with more than 700 new scents launching each year. So it is a remarkable achievement that Nina Ricci’s Nina is celebrating its 20th birthday this month. The original fruity-floral fragrance for her was composed by perfumers Olivier Cresp, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and Christian Dussooulier who skillfully blended notes of Amalfi Lemon, lime, Granny Smith Apple, praline, vanilla, sweet peony, moonflower, white cedar and musk. It was housed in a bright red apple-shaped bottle. Since then, there have been numerous additions to the collection including a new eau de parfum with a creamy pistachio note. Here’s to another 20 years of Nina fragrances. #davelackiebeauty #nina #ninaricci #ninaeaudeparfum
