    Did you know that most commercially grown roses yo Did you know that most commercially grown roses you find in flower stores are unscented? You can sometimes find tea roses with a soft, romantic scent, but the majority have no scent. So if you are looking to fill your home with the iconic rose aroma, look for David Austin rose that are in full bloom now. These are patented English shrub rose bred by crossing old garden rose with modern roses resulting in a vintage charm, rich fragrance and dense petal shapes. I remember driving in California along the coast one summer and seeing stands with bouquets and bouquets of these roses. The scent was intoxicating. #davelackiebeauty
    New York fashion designer Tory Burch has just laun New York fashion designer Tory Burch has just launched her Sublime Shimmer Oil, a luxurious shimmering body oil infused with the brand’s Sublime scent. This lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, enriched with vitamin E, jojoba and sunflower seed oils leaves skin illuminated and silky. Sublime is one of my favourite recent fragrance launches. It’s a blend of leather, delicate rose, Osmanthus flower, vetiver and bright mandarin. This perfumed shimmer oil is ideal for warm summer months. #davelackiebeauty
    Not sure if you’ve seen this new ad campaign yet, Not sure if you’ve seen this new ad campaign yet, but I wanted to share it as I find it heartwarming. @cliniquecanada has partnered with women’s pro soccer team -  @afc.toronto for its award-winning Moisture Surge franchise. This follows a campaign in July for Black Honey Almost Lipstick that garnered enthusiasm for its inclusivity and positive message. What I loved about that campaign is all six featured athletes looked so genuine and authentic. You could instantly feel their friendship and camaraderie. 

This follow up campaign is entitled “Unstoppable Together” and the goal is to encourage Canadian teenage girls to participate in sports. According to The Rally Report, Canadian Women & Sport’s flagship research study on the state of women and girls in sport revealed that 62% of Canadian young women do not participate in sports at all – a decline of 14% over the past decade. Research states that there are lasting benefits to participating in sport including: confidence, well-being and personal growth. 

Big congrats to AFC Toronto players: Team captain Nikayla Small, Kaylee Hunter crowned the Northern Super League’s Rookie of the Year last year, midfielder Nyota Katembo and defenders Zoe Burns, Kaela Hansen and Sarah Rollins. They truly are great role models for all Canadians. Special thanks to Canadian Women & Sport for its support as well.

What do you think of the campaign? Feel free to share a congrats message to the athletes in a post comment.  I’ll collect them all and forward them to the team.

    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
