Last night, Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong of Greta Constantine held court (along with many stylish subjects) in the lush backyard of a beautiful Rosedale home in Toronto to reveal the second collection in their new accessibly priced womenswear line, Primer. As could be expected, all of Greta’s signature fingerprints appeared in the line of richly hued draped-cotton and jersey dresses that were displayed on prettily posed mannequins positioned poolside. While the collection won’t be available for a few months, one thing you can look forward to are totally manageable price points, starting at less than $100 and ranging no higher than $500.

The daily steal: Two-in-one eyeshadow primer, $30

Photography by Nettika Berthelot
Okay, okay. I realize Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray ($30, at sephora.com) costs more than what most of us would spend for on a beauty steal, but hear me out. This wonder product is a two-in-one primer. It keeps my under-eye concealer intact and my eyeshadow from sliding, melting, greasing and creasing off and into my eyelids—All. Day. Long. So guess what? I’m saving money and time. I no longer have to reapply my eye makeup at noon, and again at 5:00 p.m.; my concealer, eyeshadow and even my mascara don’t run out as quickly; and as a result, I’m saving cash. And that, my friends, constitutes a steal in my books.
