MOTIONBALL - CALGARY GALA 2012 - THE GALA WITH WONDERFUL CAUSE






On Friday, February 24, 2012 The 3rd Annual Calgary Motionball Gala brought together young professionals, local celebrities, donors, volunteers, sponsors and Special Olympics athletes at Flames Central.

Hosted by CTV's Camilla Di Giuseppe and Entertainment Tonight Canada's
Rick Campanelli, this 1940’s Hollywood Glamour themed affair was sold out way before the actual date of the event!!

“There’s a reason motionball has sold out the last three years and is recognized as a must-attend charity event for Calgary’s young professional crowd,” said Paul Horton, Director of Calgary’s motionball Gala. “Motionball is a national movement that’s bringing understanding and acceptance to the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities in a way that resonates with our city.”

All guests also enjoyed live entertainment from Canadian recording artist Jully Black and the Woodhouse Big Band, and could experience an exclusive Under Armour underwear fashion show as well.

The ticket included complimentary drinks, a dessert buffet, as well as raffles and a luxury silent auction from which proceeds went to support Canada’s Special Olympic athletes.

With the help of a dedicated, passionate Board, generous donors and sponsors, including Air Miles, Molson Coors and Under Armour,
Motionball aims to donate $1 million annually by 2014.
To date, Calgary’s motionball Gala has donated $140,000 to Special Olympics.

There is nothing better than combining amazing event with such a wonderful cause!! Big Congratulations to organizers and all volunteers who put their work & energy together so we could have such an amazing night in Calgary!

NEW YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE PUR COUTURE Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain - OUR VALENTINE'S CONTEST WINNER OPINION!!!




There is always something special about a lady wearing a properly picked red lipstick. Chic and classy I would say. That’s why I got exited as outstanding fashion stylist, Anna Basak from ABStyle picked me as a lucky winner of ROUGE PUR COUTURE Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain from YSL.
No.10 Rouge Philtre does not only have a stylish form which perfectly fits in an evening purse but what’s most important, it feels incredibly pleasant on your lips! Compared to many others lip glosses I’ve used before, this one really lasts for long, feels soft and looks amazing. I’m more than happy with its quality and the color of course... Iryna Ugryn

GIORGIO ARMANI SPRING 2012 MAKEUP COLLECTION




Available in March 2012 exclusively at Holt Renfrew





Eye Palettes


The new secret of radiance, the precious “Luce d’oro” pigment gives

a special luminosity to the eye.

Two are the must-have products for the season: a palette that combines soft pastels with the luster of antique gold and one that presents a harmony of gold and copper accented with a moonlight silver.


PRICE: $70




Tourmaline Pink Blush


A subtle blush softer than the classic formulas where white, beige and pink replace the classic white powders.

Micronized to the extreme, this blush leaves a translucent glow that illuminates every complexion.


PRICE: $65




Eye Pencils


Pure wave of light in an exquisite texture.

Offered in two versions, antique gold and copper, this exceptional pencil brightens eyes with metallic definition. Remarkably soft and creamy upon application, the formula is as precise as a kohl, as intense as an eyeliner. It creates a long-lasting, water-resistant outline which stays intense for hours.



PRICE : $29






Gloss d'Armani

Thanks to exclusive Color-Fil Shine technology, Gloss d'Armani has the ability to form a supple mesh that traps pigments and pearlescent particles.
A supple, silky weave of shine, Gloss d'Armani stays radiant for over eight hours.

Four unique colours : “Greige d'Armani", "Caffeine", "Wild rose" and "Blush".



PRICE : $36
