Now, usually I steer clear of any beauty creams specifically designed for the girls, in the belief that that area will do well enough on its own, thank you very much. But lately, I've started to notice the effects of neglect in this region (read:...
I busted out the winter coat this week to combat the uncharacteristically winter-like weather up here in Canadaland (even though winter's start date is actually more than two months away). That means I'm not only swathing myself in a wearable...
I was ready to pass off The Body Shop's Love Etc. as just another flaky, fruity/floral girly scent. (Chalk it up to the tween-esque, heart-covered box). But when I found out the fragrance was created by none other than Dominique Ropion, the renowned...
I used to balk at any beauty product containing oil; Of course, that all changed once I tried Josie Maran's outstanding Argan Oil and extolled the virtues of the miraculous Moroccanoil (also based on the aforementioned argan oil). Once I savored every...
Me and sweet-smelling beauty products have a long and storied history, but I seemed to be getting over that fixation over the last year or so, in favor of more sophisticated (read: less sickly sweet) scents. But sweet, when done right, can also have its...
I've talked a lot about my face exfoliation fixation, but I've neglected all those inches of winter-ravaged body skin that need a little spring pick-me-up. And what better way to scrub yourself smooth than with a dessert-y smelling body treat...
It's no secret that foodie-themed beauty products are beloved around here at SugarShock. But sometimes those dessert-y flavors and concoctions can verge into tween territory and seem too sickeningly sweet, even for a sweet fiend like me. For the sophisticated...
I fondly remember visits to my grandmother's house as a child, and especially exploring her bathroom, with all its pretty, pastel-coloured, rose-scented guest soaps. Of course, they'd never be used (they were too pretty for that), and would just...
Here's a bit of news that's caused a bit of excitement over here at SugarShock Beauty headquarters: Chaz Dean, the celebrity hairstylist with the soap-opera-star name, and maker of our much beloved non-sudsing Wen Cleansing Conditioner , has launched...
Remember that shampoo with the delightfully retro, endorsement-phrase-y name, "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific"? This heavenly body scrub could well be called "Wow, I never knew my skin could be so smooth!" From little-known Australian...
I have a thing for Earl Grey tea. But not just any Earl Grey will do: it's got to be deep-flavored and heady with citrusy bergamot, because it really is all about that lovely aroma. So anything with a hint of bergamot just makes me happy, which is...
Luxe soap can make handwashing a true pleasure. Case in point: Liquid Marseille Soap by La Compagnie de Provence. I don't know any hostess who wouldn't enjoy receiving this famed liquid gold in the bold yet minimal glass bottle as a gift. Renowned...
Though it's not even yet winter, it's getting mighty cold up here in Canadaland lovelies, and I can feel the indoor heating slowly leaving my skin high and dry. Aside from swathing myself in the softness cashmere to protect against the chill,...
Lovelies, ever feel like you need a vacation, but for whatever reason, just can't get away? My answer is to take a mini-vacation by indulging in one of my personal favorite me-time indulgences: the bubble bath. Nothing makes me feel more relaxed than...
Lovelies, not only am I a fan of all things beauty, but I'm also a fan of all things green. And this is no passing fancy: my fondness for the environment inspired me to create an initiative at my office called the Green Team, where a few of us banded...
