Reminiscence Inc.
If you ever find yourself longing for the days when Frankie Said Relax, mousse was a hair product and not a desert and bands like Oingo Boingo and the Bangles rules the pop charts take a moment to flashback to the “Greed is Good” era and stroll on down to Reminiscence, a cheesy, kitschy but never boring vintage store.
In the front of Reminiscence shop, you’ll find fun trinkets such as whoopee cushions, magic eighth ball and Mad Libs. They also have silly putty, wind up toys, and those little foam things that you put in water and they grow in five minutes. There’s also a neat selection of jewelry and pendants in glass cases up front.
Head toward the middle of the shop and here’s where all the sartorial fun begins. Fluffy prom dresses, funky t-shirts with slogans, outfits with glitter and sparkles and giant shoulder pads to start with. Just be careful when walking around the clothing stands. They are packed tightly together. Toward the back are the dressing rooms and shoes. It’s kind of a mess but you can find great finds such as disposable $10 shoes.
When you’re browsing, don’t let the overpriced clothing discourage you though. If you scrounge around long enough you can score some real finds.

Fabulous Metallics
Glimmer is in high demand, and metallics are everywhere. It seems that today's make-up companies want every girl out there to be the prettiest and the brightest!
For a while, L'Oreal (www.lorealparis.ca) has been dazzling and bedazzling us with the highly-kissable Glam Shine Crystals lip gloss and the stunning Glam Bronze bronzing powder. At Revlon, (www.revlon.com,) eyes took a seductive turn with Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner; star-studded Diamond Lust Sheer Shadow; and the luminous Molten Metal Liquid Shadow.
Maybelline (www.maybelline.com) hypnotizes with its sexy-but-innocent Shine Seduction line; Rimmel (www.rimmellondon.com) gets flirty with Metallic Cream shadow; Chanel (www.chanel.com) makes us see fireworks with its sequined Lumieres d'Artifices; and Benefit gives us a supermodel glow with its perfect "10" bronzing and highlight powder (www.benefitcosmetics.com.)
The Body Shop, (www.thebodyshop.ca,) however, brings us the best of all possible worlds with its Shimmer Squares – part of the new Special Edition Fabulous Metallics Make-up collection. The simply modern, simply elegant, and highly affordable compacts – available in Velvet Browns or Cashmere Pinks – feature four interlocking shades that can be used on the eyes and on the cheeks, to revive the complexion, and dazzle and shine all day…
… And at night, the shimmering colours can be used to create an element of mystery and drama that will not go unnoticed.
So what are you waiting for? Get noticed now!
