Allow me to re-introduce myself...

My name is Heather—I'm the founder, and the creative force behind Kiss and Makeup, your original favourite lifestyle boutique — where I got a PHD in Retail with a minor in curiosities and a major in reinvention. After a long, soul-nourishing sabbatical, I’m slowly stepping back into the light—usually accompanied by a four-legged friend, and well-earned glass of something good.

Kiss and Makeup turns 21 this year. She’s in her “college years” now—curious, evolving, and not entirely sure what she wants to be when she grows up. And that’s kind of the magic.I’ve always been part treasure hunter, full-time curious soul, and a lifelong curator of thoughtful, beautiful spaces. That hasn’t changed—but the way to share it is a work in progress.

There are ideas percolating. Some wild. Some deeply intentional.

If you’ve been with me since the early days—or just found your way here—thank you. I’m so glad you’re along for the ride.

Because every great adventure begins with the essentials:

A standout hat, killer shades, the perfect scarf, and one favourite piece of jewelry

First up: LEIA NOVA

a handmade wrap bracelet (and necklace) I designed and had crafted in India. It’s meaningful, versatile, and a first glimpse into Kiss and Makeup’s next chapter.

Worn here as a necklace, LEIA NOVA is adorned with faceted semi-precious turquoise stones—believed to calm the mind, support communication, and protect against negative energy.

Designed for everyday wear.
