Turns out being a Big movie star doesn’t make a guy much different from most, at least when it comes to skincare products. The growing variety on retail shelves, although an itty fraction of available lady potions, seems overwhelming, and frankly, shopping around for the latest and greatest holds little appeal. If someone gives you something you happen to like, though, you’re loyal. And if you’re Big actor Chris Noth, you become the North American face of the brand.

“I came here on a job and I couldn’t bring stuff on a plane,” Noth told me during his recent visit to promote his new role as the new Biotherm homme. … [visit site to read more]

Staff’s freaked because this post has a Friday “F is for” headline and it’s Wednesday. She knew I was waiting for a related link to go live before publishing, but still she’s all jangly about it. She amuses me.

Anyway, I had some digi-camera fun last week, thanks to a Fujifilm FinePix F70 EXR model I was trying out. My first play session was Monday’s Philippe Dubuc campaign shoot on board the docked 730-foot Gordon C. Leitch freighter in Old Montreal’s quai Alexandria. And the above photo of Jesse, Taras and Shawn, … [visit site to read more]

Even now, into the second week of March and after a day of 13-degree-celcius pleasantry in Toronto, I’m a tad wary of making a Spring-is-here declaration. (I remember snow and hail in late April of the year we moved to Canada.) Perhaps it’s safer to say that if not now, soon?

Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, has made a bold move. “I would like to seduce women back into using lipstick again,” he says in the first video below. And to do it, he’s replaced the brand’s Rouge Hydrabase lipstick with Rouge Coco ($38), a new long-lasting moisturizing formula in a range of pretty hues and a luxe case made of lightweight metal rather than plastic. … [visit site to read more]
