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...
Thought you'd seen it all when it comes to mascara? Me too, until I spied this little number from Canadian beauty company Belvada. No, it doesn't vibrate, oscillate or spin, but what it does do is an entirely novel approach to applying mascara...
Wearing dark nail polish is a kind of bittersweet affair: it looks chicly fabulous at first paint, but it's not long before darkened talons become all chipped and grungy, Courtney Love-style. And the removal process is the worst – smearing around...
I never really saw the point of using mascara primers, which seemed like just another laborious step in my beauty routine. But Lancôme, with its new Oscillation Powerbooster , might have me changing my tune. Not only does it thicken and pump up lashes...
Sad but true, there are some beauty routines that I'm just far too impatient to partake in; and self-tanning is one of them. Unlike the Beauty Addict , who, god bless her, has perfected "The Art of the Tan", I just can't be bothered...
Last week, I passed along a cool little trick to cancel out redness around the eyes and instantly brighten, and today, I'm giving you a bit of makeup trickery to deal with another eye-area undesirable: those pesky dark under-eye circles. From celebrity...
Ever wonder why babies have that lovely rosy glow? It's all about their primo "youthful networks", says cosmetic and skincare brand Clarins – healthy nerve endings and a rich circulatory structure in the skin that keep it perfectly nourished...
As much as I'd like to say that I've embraced the "return" of lipstick, I have to admit that I'm a gloss girl at heart. I start the day with a slick of my favorite lippie, but I'm all about the gloss for the rest of the day;...
If there's one cosmetic "procedure" I would ever love to have, it would be one of those crazy expensive Zoom whitening treatments to get a smile that twinkles like the stars and is as bright as a thousand suns. Alas, I'm no big-time...
It's hard to keep up with the ever-changing world of mascara these days: If it's not NASA-like feats of engineering in brush design, it's ever longer-lasting, sci-fi-movie -sounding formulas. And, Estee Lauder's new (wait for it) Double...
Where, oh where is the sun? Not that I advocate baking in the rays, mind you, but along with seasonal affective disorder affecting my mood, my skin is experiencing a disorder of the pasty kind. Not pretty. For skin rescusitation, (and not expecting miracles...
There's quite possibly no beauty crime worse than not wearing sunscreen; it's the surest way to bring on the wrinkles and make you age faster. However, even I've been guilty of committing this beauty no-no. Having oily skin, I often don't...
We all know that moisturizing is all-important, and nowhere more so than the delicate eye area, where aging (read: wrinkles and dark circles) can first rear its ugly head. I like to give this area the extra-special VIP treatment, and my latest eye-care...
Like many of you, I'm starting to be concerned about (dare I say it) skin aging. So I've made it my mission to get serious about skincare, and if it takes five steps to make my skin more even-toned and radiant, so be it. Enter Somme Institute...
I love the idea of makeup delivering beautifying benefits. And mineral makeup, made up of all-natural minerals from the earth, has long been lauded for doing just that. My latest find, Hourglass Cosmetics's Oxygen Mineral Powder , goes one step further...
