lucky penny has mastered the art of batting eyelashes… to get her way, natch.

no one is immune to her charms, especially after applying badgal lash mascara by benefit. for extra full lashes, she coats both sides of her upper and lower lashes with its oversized brush, then flutters away!

she prefers this super black formula, but there is also plum that intensifies her natural eye colour, and brown that defines every lash with a slim-line brush.

no clumps. no lumps.

***psst… another cult favourite of hers is benetint, a rose-tinted lip and cheek stain. did you know that it was originally created for an exotic dancer in the 1970s?

lucky penny, a true romantic at heart, quietly looks forward to a kiss goodbye from cute boyfriend every single morning.

after he leans in for a gentle peck on her lips, she cannot help but to smile in return… and as he walks out the door, he will always turn back to look at her once more and wink. one of the many reasons why she loves him so.

eos, which stands for evolution of smooth, is a *new* line of lip balms that are organic and 100% natural. shaped like easter eggs, they are packaged as a trio like strawberry sorbet, sweet mint and passion fruit.

simply twist off the top, and pucker up!

lucky penny was not kidding around. her neon ob-ses-sion is serious business, especially when it comes to nails.

she usually treats herself to a weekly manicure… sometimes even a pedi. essie’s “poppy razzi” collection will sure tickle her bright-hued fantasies, from tangerine “action” and orange “bazooka”, to coral “camera” and fuchsia “lights”. the set of four will be available in may, just in time for summer.

for the best results, apply an even layer of white polish after the base, and then two coats of colour. do not forget a top coat for a shiny finish… because neon lacquers always dry matte.

pow! get the most pop for her polish.

lucky penny is a sucker for simple, beautifully designed packaging… especially when the contents are canadian.

consonant body is a 100% natural skincare line formulated to be in harmony with her body’s chemistry. all products are fragrance-free, and made with the highest possible concentration of organic botanical ingredients. they improve the health of skin over time, rather than just covering up irritating symptoms.

she also loves the cute and chirpy copy like “hey you. yeah, you. i see you there with that cheeky grin on your face. wondering whether this premium organic lotion will feel as good as the compliments you’ll no doubt receive after using it. you’re a savvy consumer. examining every last detail. ensuring it contains the finest quality natural ingredients. wondering whether it’s safe for all skin types and hoping you are right for such a great product. well, it does. and it is. and you are.”

***psst… be sure to visit the first-ever consonant flagship store at 2479 yonge street in toronto.

lucky penny is a beauty junkie.

now that she is ready to move into her *new* house, it was the perfect time to purge… but only a few goodies in her medicine cabinet made the cut.

korres wild rose face and eye serum brightens and moisturizes all skin types… all day long. wild rose oil, a natural source of vitamin c, minimizes fine lines and any blemishes.

quercetin and oak anti-aging and anti-wrinkle night and eye creams not only reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness, but also improve skin’s elasticity and firmness.

their body butters and shower gels come in the most scrumptious scents like basil lemon, guava, jasmine and fig. mmmmmm. *licks lips*
