Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe recently rolled out the up and coming trendy hairstyles for fall 2013, so this time around we decided to talk makeup. This runway season was definitely a breath of fresh air. The skin was done in matte and contouring had just the slightest hints of colour and lips were juicy but textured. With emphasis on eyes and brows, this is set to be one pretty season!
Here are my favourite five...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's that wonderfully weird time of year again when it's broiling outside during the day and freezing as soon as the sun sets. And your weekend plans? Fugheddaboutit. It'll go from balmy one day to frosty the next.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI know what you're thinking, oils on my face? Um, no. Why would I want to put oil on my face? I spend money on mattifying primers, powders and oil absorbing sheets to get all that stuff OFF my face, so why would I just go and put it back on?
Well, I'm here to hopefully change your mind.
I've been all over the face oils lately. With my acne prone skin and all the drying products I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basCat eyes: we have a love hate relationship with them. On the one hand, they're gorgeous. On the other hand, they're a total b**ch (excuse the French) to do. And while we can go on and on about tips and tricks, the fact is: they're tough. Which is why I'm kind of all over this Korean eye makeup trend called puppy eyes. While cat eyes swerve upwards into a very difficult to accomplish winged shape,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThere's been a fun little tag going on in the YouTube world called 'If All My Makeup Disappeared' and it's basically one of my worst nightmares. The premise is this: if you woke up one morning to find empty shelves and some evil makeup loving thief had robbed you of everything you hold dear, what would you re-purchase? I liked the idea of doing this article because we talk a lot about 'favourites'...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am seriously getting sick of my hair. Since chopping off a significant amount, it's getting to that weird in-between stage and I just cannot deal with it. I'm looking forward to fall: it's a new season and so I think another change is totally justified.
Here are 5 hairstyle trends and ideas I'm liking:
Retro Meets Modern
We saw some throwback styles on the runway for fall 2013. What stood out...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI don't usually make statements like this, but ah, this is the best designer collection. Possibly ever. In the world. I'm obsessed with the Phillip Lim for Target collection and I don't care who knows it. I've been eyeing it for a while now and I actually got to see the collection in person as a little sneak peek treat. I have to say, I think its my fave designer collab yet.
