A Good Hair Day Giveaway

If you could throw me in a category when it comes to hair, I'd be on the low-low-maintenance end of things.   I wash it every other day before bed and go to sleep with my hair wet.  When I wake up I brush it (sometimes) or throw it into a ponytail.  Done.  The hair dryer comes out about once a month when I have to go to a big fashion event, and when I go on TV, I leave it to the professionals to make it look pretty.  

Which is precisely why I place a lot of importance on the products I use - particularly shampoo and conditioner since I use little else.  When Matrix sent me these 3 new products, I was thrilled.  Oil is the new black, or something like that, and I've heard those with luscious locks swear by the much-buzzed-about Moringa Oil to give their hair unparalleled shine.  I've been using the shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks now and am loving the results.  After washing, I rub some of the Replenishing Treatment into my ends and wake up the next morning frizz-free. And on the odd occasion that I flat-iron or blow dry my hair, I'll use it to protect from the heat.  Genius!

As promised on my facebook page, I'll be doing a few sweet giveaways this week and this is #1! Simply leave a comment below telling me your best tip for a good hair day for your chance to win this 3-pack containing MATRIX Biolage ExquisiteOil Micro-Oil Shampoo ($16.95/500mL), MATRIX Biolage ExquisiteOil Oil Crème Conditioner ($18.50/300mL) and MATRIX Biolage ExquisiteOil Replenishing Treatment ($21.95/92mL).

(PS - For extra chances to win, 'like' the MATRIX Canada Facebook page and follow @MATRIXCanada on Twitter.)

Good luck, beauties!  Contest closes this Thursday (Dec 20) at midnight.  Will announce the winner Friday am!

Belle Noel Wishbone Necklace, $70, The Bay

The Vogue-featured Belle Noel Mini Dagger Necklace, $198, The Bay

Reality star Kim Kardashian, Creative Director of Belle Noel, unveiled her collection of fashion jewellery yesterday during a personal appearance at The Bay Queen Street.

Her latest collection for Belle Noel reflects the feminine glamour of Kim’s aesthetic. The lucky wishbone was a real source of inspiration for Kardashian, who used the iconic symbol as a focal point with glam gold bangles, statement earrings and long pendant necklaces.  Bright enamel pieces in coral, white and purple add fun pops of colour to the collection.

“Going into my second spring season for Belle Noel, I was focused on producing pieces that were reflective of the season; bright, fun and easy to wear. The wishbone really illustrates the warmth and joy I felt through this process and I’m so excited to finally present it to my Canadian customers at The Bay, Queen Street!” says Kim Kardashian.

Insiders who saw the top Kardashian in action yesterday told me that in person, her skin is flawless, her curves are insane and that she's actually really, really sweet.  Arg.  As for the Belle Noel collection, I'm actually kind of krazy about the wishbone pieces and the Mini Dagger Necklace.  And you?  

PS - Just found out that Kanye was in fact at The Bay yesterday, too, to support his newest boo.  Eek!

Found: Downton Abbey Pants

Since today is technically Easter Monday, I'm putting the blame (once again) on the bunny for making me eat so much over the long weekend.  Though I don't normally condone pajamas for day (Vogue endorsements notwithstanding), these 'Quick Getaway Loungers from Anthropologie ($48) are perfect for your lady of leisure days and hide a multitude of sins while you take an hour or two repose on your chaise.  Ahhh...Downton Abbey, anyone?
