It is a well known fact that women should discard their mascara no later than every three months. Even though most of us women are aware of this, a lot of us don’t play by the rules! Subscribing to your favourite mascara on Well.ca will help remind you to keep your mascara fresh leaving your eyelashes long and beautiful.

My personal favourite is L’Oreal Paris Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. This mascara seems to hit every lash and stays on all day long! Vanessa, Well.ca’s Health and Beauty Category Manager, recommends Covergirl Lashblast Volume Blasting mascara. Vanessa loves this mascara because it does not clump, the brush coats all of her lashes to really open her eyes and help make her lashes look thick and full. For those of you looking for a hypoallergenic be sure to check out Almay.

Remember not to pump your mascara. Pumping adds in too much oxygen and will cause your mascara to clump and dry out faster than it should. You want it to stay fresh until your next subscription arrives in the mail!

No matter what age, height, or weight a woman is, vitamins should always be a very important part of your daily regimen. With Well.ca’s subscription program you can ensure that you always have a plentiful stock of vitamins to keep your body healthy and strong.

My personal vitamin regime involves a daily dose of Jamieson’s Multivitamins, Webber Natural’s Omega-3 Softgels, and Jamieson’s Vitamin B12.

Make An Impression: The Red Lip

We all notice her and think “wow, how does she do it?”. No, I am not talking about walking in her 5 inch stiletto’s (although I do wonder about that as well), I am talking about choosing the best red lipstick! Most of us think this is not an easy task but believe it or not it can be perfected and you will be turning heads the next time you dare to wear your red lips.

Wearing and maintaining your lipstick can be a pain when you are on the go all day long but it is about confidence – which we all have. I am a busy, on the go woman but I adore wearing red lipstick and feel as though my inner confidence shines through when my pout looks the part. Here are some tips and product fav’s to create (and maintain) a fabulous red lip.

1. Hydrate – I never go to bed without applying my Blistex Lip Medex – it has been a favourite since I was a child. It keeps my lips hydrated and smooth until the morning which helps when applying my lip colour (even when it is at 5:30am).

2. Apply a light layer of concealer or foundation to your lips (my fav is Covergirl Smoothers Concealer in Illuminator).

3. Outline your lips with a lip liner, and be sure to match the lip liner to your lipstick.

4. Apply your selected colour (my fav is Vasanti’s soft finish matte lipstick in USA) with a lip brush (Vasanti has a nice lip brush which allows you to control your application). Applying with a brush prevents you from over applying the colour.

5. Blot lips with a tissue.

6. Touch up if needed with your lip brush for a long lasting finish.

Not sure how to pick the right shade for you? Trust me, there is one out there for you, you just have to find the right shade. Here are some of my suggestions:

Fair complexions should choose cool reds, such as a cherry- or rose-red.
Redheads look great in warm reds, such as a tomato- or brick-red.
Medium or olive complexions can pull off a true red.
Darker complexions are stunning in deep reds, such as a plum-red
