Among the beauty community in Vancouver, #LDBeauty is the most highly anticipated event of the year! And for good reason.
London Drugs beauty vendors gather under one glamorous roof to give bloggers and media a sneak peek at their brand new fall 2015 products. And let me tell you, this fall will bring a whole pile of revolutionary and must-have beauty products you'll want to add to your daily regimen!
Follow along to see the best new beauty products for fall, from makeup to skincare, hair and gadgets:
New in Makeup:
I've got my work cut out for me! Lots of new eye palettes to try out, and lipsticks galore. The
NYX high voltage lipstick are actually already in store, and I'm
loving their bold colour pay-off. Vibrant lipsticks are my favourite! Revlon also freshened up our lips at the event with their newest
Ultra HD Lip Lacquer. I tried the shade
Tourmaline, nice hot pink that wasn't at all sticky!
If you're looking for a way to change up your eye look for a night out,
L'Oreal's new Miss Manga Rock is a mascara that actually
means to clump your lashes- in order to give you an overloaded lash look with a soft spiked finish. You can see on the poster below how it looks.
If you haven't heard of or tried
Emani Cosmetics you really must! The whole line is vegan friendly, and includes a whole list of extracts that are great for your skin: Emani's founder
Michelle Doan would know, she's suffered from cystic acne most of her life, and developed the line of cosmetics specifically for women with super sensitive skin. Their
Perfect 10 Primer Serum is seriously the best primer you'll ever try.
New in Skincare:
I've already started my completely revamped cleansing routine, using the
Silk'n SonicCleanPlus brush, and Neostrata Acne Clear collection (coming soon to
London Drugs), and it feels good to finally have a proper adult way of cleaning my face. I say adult, because up until now, I've pretty much just used whatever face wash was on sale...needless to say, it's been a big upgrade!
I'm also looking forward to trying out
Jergens' Moisturizer for Wet Skin; I've never been one to put tons of moisturizer on, but after test it at the LDBeauty event, I think it'll be the perfect way to keep my skin refreshed after all the sun exposure this summer.
If I do decide I need a little more colour this summer (and let's be honest, I've pretty much given up all hope in that department), the St. Tropez folks recommend trying the
St. Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan, since it's more subtle and easier to build a tan over time. Plus, application would be way easier in the shower, especially for someone like myself who has no idea what they're doing...
New in Hair:
There are some really cool new things coming out for hair in Fall 2015! I am by far the most excited for the Remington T|Studio PROtect Straightener, which actually allow you to fill it with either water to create steam,
or they also have special Macadamia Hair Conditioning Treatment that you can add to the straightener so you can condition your hair
while you straighten your hair!
If your looking for a quick way to braid your hair, or are just not braiding inclined, then the Infiniti Pro by Conair Quick Twist (coming soon to
London Drugs) is going to be your new best friend. I've never been able to accomplish a waterfall braid, and as the Conair girls demonstrated, it's pretty darn easy to do with the Quick Twist!
AND we can't forget the brand new
Infiniti Pro by Conair Ultimate Brush. I've had a chance to see this brush in action
here, and let me tell you, for anyone who has ever has issues with static or frizz, this is a life saver! Plus, it's wireless, so it's perfect for taking with you on the go, from the gym, to camping, or travelling.

New in Gadgets:
These two products were just so cool they needed their own category. On the left below, is Prestige's yet-to-be-released and patent-pending Brow Perfection Tool. Have you ever seen anything like it?? I can't wait to try this when it's available at
London Drugs!
Tweezerman also showcased a handy little tool at the event that will be coming your way at London Drugs soon. The Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover is a super easy and painless (believe me, we tested it on my arm hair) way to remove unwanted hair.

Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Matte Eye Pencil being applied to Tarah Kostenko of StylexBeautyDept: nice way to define a bright eye!
Happy Styling! xo
