Ideal for dry, parched lips, this product moisturizes with jojoba oil and shea butter; soothes and protects against cold weather. At $12, it’s great value for money. There is also a slight peppermint scent to it, for refreshed lips to go with fresh breath. The no-shine formula keeps the lips moisturized with a matte finish, in a well-kept manly way, without that glassy lipgloss look. You can test it on the back your hand at the Kiehl’s store just to make sure!
Eat street is the “new destination is for those who know that some of the world’s most inventive chefs serve their creations through the window of a food truck. Those who believe that a delicious meal tastes even better when you buy it with your spare change and eat it perched on a curb. Or those who simply appreciate the joy of finding a city’s best hot dog.”

Last winter, Modern Mix Vancouver featured Lippmann Collection’s Marquee Moon, a glittery, silver nailpolish color reminiscent of a disco ball crossed with holiday tinsel. This year, just in time for the 2010 holiday season, try out Boom Boom Pow, a luxurious nail lacquer with an explosion of glimmering 24-karat gold flecks! A little bit too flashy for everyday wear, but perfect for a fashionable winter party. It’s apparently inspired by Kate Moss, but I think the Black Eyed Peas may have been an inspiration as well! Boom Boom Pow and other nailpolish in the Lippmann collection retail for $24 at Murale at Oakridge Centre and are “big three free” of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate.
