Look Sublime !
INTRODUCING
Vânia Aguiar
Our beauty editor shares new trends of the season.
“Embrace the vibrant hues of the fall season! Soft pastel shades will grace our eyes, framing them beautifully with impeccably groomed eyebrows. Get ready for some playful lip color experimentation that will add a dash of excitement to your look.”
THIS FALL’S most inspiring makeup allures include eyeshadows with a touch of iridescence or frosting to illuminate the eyes, poetic pastels to emphasize the lower eyelash, and easyto-wear colours for a chic, subtle look. Stretched liners or neo-smoky grunge appliqués are all the rage, while facial skin is kept as natural as possible.
To help you make the most of the new make-up codes, master all the tricks of the post-summer beauty trade and play with shades and textures like a pro: here are the products that will have you looking sublime.

A Head for Hot Trends
THERE’S NOTHING more timeless than a chic, sleek chignon gathered tight at the nape of the neck. Slickedback and plated, this classic style can also be finished in a neat ponytail this fall. At the same time, there will be a resurgence
of hair in a tousle or accessorized with plentiful fine jewelry, XXL headbands or a simple clip to hold the hair in place. Smooth or textured brushings will also be in vogue, as will the ultra-short cut, which is back with a vengeance. Whatever style you choose, the important thing is to add a personal touch. So let’s inject volume and shine...

REGARDING PERFUMES, there are two main types of consumers: those who remain faithful to their favourite fragrance no matter how long it lasts and those who like to change their scent according to the weather and even their mood. Every season, the big perfume houses create new scents or revisit earlier concoctions to continue charming the senses. Succumb to the delight of discovery and choose a marvellous scent to imprint the season’s spirit - it’s sure to wow even the most discerning noses!
Autumn is an in-between season, with temperatures dropping but remaining pleasant, sunlight slowly fading in intensity and warmth but remaining fabulous and, above all, landscapes playing out richly coloured cameos. While we haven’t yet fallen into the intense notes typical of winter, as autumn arrives, fuller-bodied, more sustained florals are revealed in perfume vials, with musk returning as a base note for more pronounced scents. Woody fragrances also take pride of place among the season’s pampered aromas. The shared characteristic among these bouquets is their power to comfort, warm and stimulate.
Travel to the world of perfume and select from a wide range of olfactory pleasures –rich, enveloping scents to gratify us with the most sensual aromatic notes.

HERE IS THE LOVELY STORY of Aveda – the brand specializing in cosmetics, fragrances, and hair care products.
The story begins with Horst Rechelbacher, born in Austria in 1941 to a herbalist mother and a cobbler father. Horst was 14 years old when he started work in a hair salon. His natural talent was quickly evident, and at age 17, he joined a prestigious salon in Rome as a stylist for international stars. His future was set when, at the age of 20, he won the European Hairdressing Championship, and his young career blossomed as he brought his art to all of Europe and beyond, to America.
He eventually landed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where, as fate would have it, he fell victim to a drunk driver. But when he was saved, he resolved to follow
AVEDA, NATURAL BEAUTY!
By Vânia Aguiarwhat he concluded was his lucky star and opened his own salon, Horst & Friends, in Minneapolis. The salon was a hit, and the entrepreneurial stylist, still in his 20s, opened numerous more salons.
On the eve of his 30th birthday, Horst decided to retire and, in 1970, travelled to India, where he began to integrate the holistic science of Ayurveda into his lifestyle. He began to look at wellness as a whole, and his conviction grew that an individual’s beauty is directly linked to the world’s beauty.
Bolstered by his new mindset, the hairdressing artist emerged from retirement to lay the groundwork for what was soon dubbed clean beauty: healthful cosmetics rooted in natural formulas, environmental responsibility
and transparency! Horst’s vision would revolutionize the beauty industry as he embraced organic ingredients and created innovative products that were distinctly more respectful of the natural world. So Aveda was born! A pioneer of holistic beauty and a champion of environmental responsibility - a highly avant garde approach at the timeHorst openly advocates balance and harmony, both collectively and individually.
Today, the Aveda brand is internationally renowned and highly prized by its clientele. The heart of every Aveda experience is infused with the scent of nature. Created in the Aveda Aroma Lab pure-fume ™ products are botanical blends of distilled flower and plant extracts made to delight the senses.
Aveda makes each of its 500 products out of dedication to beauty, wellbeing and the environment. The company is thoroughly committed to protecting water resources, promoting responsible manufacturing processes and offering packaging made from 100% recycled materials. As its creator resolutely intended, Aveda cares for our planet and strives to set an example of environmental conscience and responsibility. It embellishes without destroying!

AS THE OUTSIDE environment changes, the skin’s mechanisms tend to be disrupted. But certain steps can be taken to help the skin regenerate after the excesses of a beach vacation and prepare it for the extremes of the coming months. To avoid the appearance of fine dehydration lines and a loss of radiance and comfort, it’s a good idea to bring serum into your beauty routine, applying it morning and night to well-cleansed skin just before your skin care cream. Thanks to its high concentration of active ingredients and indepth action, serum provides immediate and long-lasting hydration, helping the skin to maintain a healthy balance.
Richer products are essential to an effective autumn beauty strategy. As the cold season can severely dry out the skin, more nourishing cleansers, serums, and moisturizers, bursting with essential fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol, are needed to tackle the most delicate areas of the face.
It’s also a time for exfoliation and moisturizing of face and body. The moment has come to adopt formulas with high concentrations of retinol, for example, and to opt for products with active ingredients that promote cell renewal – neutralizing and nourishing the skin while helping to seal in moisture.
Here, then, are the little packages of essentials that will help you leave summer behind gracefully and without any cruel after-effects!

CoolBee Schools !
By Vânia AguiarDEPARTURE FROM MONTREAL with the Guerlain team and fellow journalists from Toronto and Quebec to Mont-Laurier. Our final destination: Miels d’Anicet in Ferme-Neuve.
Some 275 km north of Montreal, this honey farm at the foot of Montagne du Diable in the Upper Laurentians is nestled in a hilly region with forests, lakes, rivers and natural meadows. It’s a wild, forested area, free from intensive agriculture: an exceptional environment for the little inhabitants of the farm’s 1,000 beehives.
Miels d’Anicet’s reputation in Quebec is wellestablished. Still, only some may know that Guerlain has teamed up with the honey house. It was a natural fit between two companies that share an undying love of bees, these tiny guardians of our biodiversity.
Accompanied by experts from France, including my friend Cécile Lochard, Guerlain’s Director of Sustainable Development, my day of learning at the Bee School began with a tasty lunch whose menu was, naturally, crafted with a dash of Anicet’s honey.
After the tastings, we learned how to take action to protect pollinators, how to contribute to the survival of bees by naturally reversing their alarming mortality rate, by selecting and reproducing queens, for example. And we discovered how experts are working to advance beekeeping science to save these essential sentinels of biodiversity that make a vital contribution to human food security!
Cécile told us how, in June 2018, the House of Guerlain launched the Bee School program for children to raise their awareness of bee preservation. Bee School is part of Guerlain’s Commitment to Nature – In the Name of Beauty – and reflects the House’s desire to contribute to a more sustainable and beautiful world. This commitment has led to numerous initiatives, including the annual Bee Universities, which bring together leading specialists in the field.
A Guerlain symbol since 1853, the bee inspires the House’s creations and adorns its most precious vials. At a time when particular ecosystems are under threat, preserving biodiversity is more than ever a major concern for Guerlain.
In all the countries where Guerlain is active, volunteer employees are trained to sensitize children to the importance of bees and biodiversity.
With this initiative, the Maison Guerlain has set itself critical objectives for the coming years, and expects that by 2025, 100,000 children worldwide will have participated in a Bee School.
I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to participate in a Guerlain Bee School, with its amusing and instructive workshops. Its use of questionand-answer games and charts about different bee colonies raises participants’ awareness of major biodiversity issues in a fun and effective way. The site and facilities of Miels d’Anicet, whose warm welcome was appreciated, were ideally suited to the exercise.
