Get glowy (
RSS)
I'm rather fond of the fresh-from-the-beach fake flush of a good powder bronzer. To get a believable glow, (which encompasses not only a golden hue, but also a hint of pinched-cheek pink), I've tried to strategically layer on my bronzer and blush...
I seem to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with bronzers lately: while I love the idea of them, I find that many, in the one-shade-fits-all variety, tend to be far too dark for my fair complexion. The dirty-face result (read: splotchy, orange-y...
Lacking a certain glow lately? You're not alone; while it's June in Toronto, the sun has been seriously M.I.A. of late and the temps have been positively fall-like. Not that I advocate sizzling in the sun, of course, because there's so many...
My love affair with Face Atelier Ultra Foundation is well-documented . Beloved by makeup artists, it never fails to stand up to tropical jungle-like humidity and its airbrushed coverage instantly perfects (so skin looks like skin and not like you're...
Getting value for your beauty money has never been more important, so I've been keeping an eye out for products that deliver it in spades. And for me, Duwop is one of those lines that delivers value on all fronts. For one, they always keep me surprised...
How gorgeous is this? I could stare at this compact for hours, beholden by its mesmerizing, Twilight Zone -ish swirls. No, this isn't some newfangled hypnotherapy treatment, but the sweet goodness of the Creme Caramel Shimmer Powder from Estee Lauder's...
All-in-one, multi-tasking products get me all a-tingle (whatever floats your boat, right?), and one of my absolute favorite products ever is Vision in Mineral Lights by luxe mineral makeup brand La Bella Donna – a palette of four glimmering shades you...
It's still up for debate as to whether glitter is acceptable among adult women; some are vehemently opposed to anyone wearing glitter past the age of 15. And usually, I'd count myself in that category. Truthfully, this gorgeous little pot of MAC's...
I love any product that helps me get my glow on. But since many luminizers are liquid-y or lotion-y, they can make them hard to control, so it's easy to overdo that coveted glowy effect (laserbeam-face, anyone?). So leave it to Duwop, the brand that...
Hello, lover... Yes, it's been around for a while, but this was my very first brush with the famed Nars Orgasm blush, paired with the also buzzed-about Laguna bronzer in this dynamic duo . How did it measure up? Quite beautifully, in fact (as if there...

I've long been fascinated by those fancy-schmancy vinotherapy treatments you can get at spas where they slather you in pinot noir and champagne (sounds heavenly, no?). And while I've never experienced one (they're admittedly a bit pricey)...
You know that dewy, sheeny look you see so often on runway models' faces that looks oh-so-chic? Outside of using Vaseline on my skin (which clearly does not appeal), I had yet to find a product that delivered this kind of radiance, until now. Created...
I have a new guilty pleasure: watching the beauty segments on The Shopping Channel in Canada (sort of the equivalent of QVC in the U.S.). I just can't help it - they feature so many great brands, such as Smashbox, Duwop, Alison Raffaele – and I love...
While we're all in the midst of swiping on the deep jewelly purples and smokey greys of fall beauty, designers have already presented their looks for spring. And lovelies, one of the trends I'm loving is this ethereally golden glow cutting a swath...
