As much as I love sharing all my latest must-owns with you… there's just something about fragrance that's different from all the other beauty categories. It took me years to give up the goods on Child, after all. (That's the one that makes men literally stop you on the street. Multiple times, I swear.) But […]
If you've been reading here for while, then you've no doubt heard me mention Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 about a million times. The cult-favourite exfoliating toner—which has been called “Jesus in a bottle!”—is the reason why I've become such an advocate for regular gentle acid exfoliation. I first started dabbling with it when I managed to score a […]
Clé de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation I'm pretty democratic about my beauty products, and will happily use drugstore makeup—see here, here and here for some recent examples—in addition to high-end. But whenever someone asks me, “Does the Clé de Peau Concealer really live up to the hype?” I have to respond: “Absolutely.” Which pains me, because who […]
Chances are, at some point over the next two months you're going to be faced with a situation that requires donning a bathing suit (if it hasn't happened already). And besides the whole “do I look fat in this?” trauma, there is the issue of hair removal. Legs? No problem. Underarms? Please. But bikini line? […]
If you‣re a glitter freak like me, then you know the sheer terror that comes with removing glitter nail polish. It‣s the reason why I often skip over them for a regular polish instead—I just know the glitter will be a complete pain in the ass to remove. When your options are sore hands from […]
Rimmel killed it with these Colour Rush Balms. I've been thinking a lot about my annual end-of-year “Best New Beauty Products” list, coming to a blog near you, i.e. this blog, very soon. (Here are last year's picks, FYI.) Then I realized. Meep! It's almost the end of December, and I haven't even written about these […]
Resolution time has come and gone, and now that we've all vowed to get more fit this year, is anyone else struggling with how to get started? Me too! So when a friend suggested seeking out a personal trainer, I decided I'd give it a shot. Except for one problem—pop into your local gym and […]
Welcome to your monthly skincare update—I've got so many exciting products to show you this time around! As usual, I edited down all the launches that crossed my desk to bring you the ones that are REALLY worth checking out, including: New moisturizers with mostly-natural ingredients Healthy cleansing cloths High-zinc sunscreen at the drugstore A […]
I might have the weakest, wimpiest nails on the planet. They shred, flake, peel and rip—so much so that I frequently resort to the sealing properties of nail polish. But when I remove said polish (or let's face it, let it chip off), I'm left with an even worse situation than I started with. It's a […]
Fall is *officially* here, and so are a wealth of new beauty products! As usual, I've done the edit—so these are the ones you REALLY need to know about. They include: Pretty tinted balms for that effortless French girl look All-new cream luminizers from my number one favourite beauty brand The most important fragrance launch […]
I don't know how Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blushes escaped me until now—since they've been out for at least a year or so in Canada—but they've just come into my life, and I think they need to stay. (By the way, what is going on? I just reviewed the Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tints, and now there's another […]
Last week, I talked (and talked and talked) about RMS “Un” Cover-Up, the all-natural concealer/foundation that goes on my face almost every single day. But here's the thing. Unless you have dry, pore-less, non-oil-producing skin, I cannot in good faith recommend you purchase “Un” Cover-Up without also investing in “Un” Powder (or similar). If you […]
Of all the lip products I own, the only one I've finished multiple tubes of, and repurchased more than once, is Dior Lip Glow. Why? Because its sheer tint and subtle shine goes with every makeup look (or no makeup at all). It has a long-lasting, balmy texture that never dries out my lips. And […]
