Canadian beauty entrepreneur Elizabeth Arden was a Canadian beauty entrepreneur Elizabeth Arden was an industry pioneer in so many ways. Not only did she bring the whole spa experience to new levels with her Red Door Spas, she incorporated fragrance into her treatments from day one. The perfumes she used were originally imported from France but that changed in 1934 with the debut of her first signature fragrance Blue Grass, a floral-green scent 1934 inspired by the Kentucky horse pastures she loved. She was, in fact, among the first  cosmetic firms to create and sell her own fragrances. The success of Blue Grass led to a series of floral scents that continues to this day. 

Eternal Aura is Arden’s first pillar fragrance in nine years. It’s an amber-floral fragrance for her that layers notes of dragon fruit, pink pepper, pear, magnolia, pink peony, jasmine sambac, rose, ambrette, sandalwood and tonka bean. It balances luminous fruity and floral ingredients with a polished woody-amber base.

Green Tea strawberry basil is a carefree, weekend scent. It’s an aromatic-green scent that blends herbal notes, straweberry, basil, green ivy, green tea accord, galbanum and musk. Perfect for a summer afternoon. Green Tea Scent Spray plays with many of the same ingredients but with added citrus. The aromatic-citrus fragrance for her balances notes of lemon, mint, orange peel, rhubarb, jasmine, green tea, musk, oakmoss, cloves and amber. #davelackiebeauty.

I'm celebrating the NEW Clinique UV Solutions SPF5 I'm celebrating the NEW Clinique UV Solutions SPF50 sunscreens this week and just discovered Clinique is celebrating a sunscreen anniversary this month! Happy 55th Anniversary! The brand was the first dermatologist-developed premium skincare brand to introduce a sun protection line in 1971. Since then, Clinique has continued to create and test UV formulations to protect skin from UVA and UVB damage keeping you looking younger, longer. I don't know of another brand that does more allergy testing in skin care. #davelackiebeauty @cliniquecanada #sunprotection #sunscreen #clinique

The most powerful and most important skincare prod The most powerful and most important skincare product you can buy is a good-quality sunscreen. Nothing will keep you looking younger, longer than broad spectrum sun protection. We get wrapped up in anti-aging serums, creams and masks and forget that more than 80% of the signs of skin aging are due to sun damage – daily UVA and UVB exposure that causes free radicals. 

Much of the reluctance to wearing sunscreen daily in the past was due to the texture. Older sunscreens didn’t feel good on skin. It’s very difficult for chemists to make the sun protection ingredients approved by Health Canada to feel light and silky on skin. Thankfully that is changing with a new generation of sunscreen formulas that are light, fresh and comfortable. You’ll actually look forward to wearing them.

Here are two new sunscreens that you need to try this season. Clinique UV Solutions protects against UVA and UVB rays and provides all-day antioxidant defense against skin-damaging free radicals – even after cleansing your face. SPF 50 protects against approximately 98% of UVB rays which are responsible for sunburn and skin cancer. It theoretically allows 50 times longer in the sun before burning compared to unprotected skin.

UV Solutions Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50 is a weightless, daily hydrating sunscreen ideal for anyone with dry to normal skin. 

UV Solutions Mattifying Sunscreen SPF50 contains skincare to help control excess shine all day and help unclog pores. It’s perfect for anyone with oily to combination skin.
All UV Solutions formulas are safe for sensitive skin, dermatologist developed, dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, allergy tested, photo allergy tested, non-acnegenic and fragrance fee.

Quite often, applying sunscreen around the eyes can cause discomfort and sometimes eye watering. Clinique UV Solutions is ophthalmologist tested and safe for sensitive skin, including around the eyes, providing comfortable daily protection. Safe for contact lens wearers. Does not leave a white cast. Layers seamlessly under makeup. I#davelackiebeauty @cliniquecanada #sunscreen #sunprotection
Celebrating National Picnic Day in Toronto’s Beach Celebrating National Picnic Day in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood with @shoppers_thebeaches @_srishtiparmar_  and @cliniquecanada ‘s @leila_makeup_artist . Apparently, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo that it’s Picnic Day as it is 7 degrees Celsius today. 

Did you know that picnics originated from Medieval hunting feasts & Renaissance-era outdoor banquets, evolving into a popular social gathering in 17th-century France where attendees shared food? The French term pique-nique (1692) meant 'picking at small bits of food'. In 1802, wealthy Londoners formed the Pic Nic Society to host lavish social outdoor picnics. The 19th-century Victorian era saw picnics move fully outdoors to gardens and the countryside, becoming a popular, genteel & wholesome leisure activity, as seen in literature and painting. In Victorian times, families and friends would use carriage rides to visit rural areas for lunch on a blanket, often described as an escape from urban life.

Clinique is celebrating the occasion with two picnic-themed gift-with-purchase items. Spend $75 on Clinique products at select Shoppers Beauty Boutiques and receive a free picnic blanket. Spend $125 on Clinique get an additional pair of sunglasses. The offer is also available online at Shoppers. Shop early as I think these will sell out quickly. So fun! Wishing everyone a Happy Picnic Day! #davelackiebeauty #shoppersbeauty #cliniquecanada #picnicday
