Sounds intriguing, right? Well it gets even more interesting when I tell you what we're used to create this mani. The secret ingredient is...salt! The salt combined with the nail polish creates a clear, light attracting and 3D effect. Of...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHave we mentioned yet that we have a wee obsession with summer BBQs? You can trust us when we say that when it comes to BBQs, we know our stuff. In fact, we even hosted our own CA staff soiree not too long ago (complete with tiki torches and all!).
Before the summer comes to a close, we think it's time for one last major BBQ. And what better way to wrap it up then with some delicious,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've confessed this before but I am a huge makeup hoarder. It's made even worse by the fact that I love to shop and try out new beauty products. I also like to buy back ups of products that I love, 'just in case' or if I run out. And I have a tendency to purchase products 'because it's new and I need to know about it for work'. I'm excellent at rationalizing...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basPerhaps Miley Cyrus was inspired by Anne Hathaway's recent chopped 'do because this past weekend she went from long, beach waves to a short pixie cut. Miley tweeted photos as she cut off her signature hair style into a dramatic and edgy style. It's bleach blonde, choppy and definitely a bold move for the young actress!
See what I mean by bold? This isn't the same

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe first caught onto the magnetic nail polish trend last September when Nails Inc. came out with this instant nail art creator. We loved the idea, but we weren't too sold on the price at C$18.00. Sally Hansen has recently developed their own version of magnetic polish and when they sent us a bottle, we knew we had to test it out! Sally Hansen's version retails at C$10.00 and comes in eight...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast November, I had my very first shellac mani and since then, I have been hooked. I count myself as a shellac convert, never again will I be getting any old regular manicure! Also on the same spectrum as shellacs are the gel manis. They offer the same long lasting, glossy results.
The only downside to the shellac or gel mani is the price and the fact that you always need to head...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's been a while since we did a proper Gratuitous Hottie Face Off. So this week, I am pretty pumped to get down with a cutthroat competition. We've got a double battle happening as well because not only are both of these men making names for themselves playing the evil villains in superhero movies but they're also both named Tom. That's right, this week we're talking...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDon't shoot the messenger chicks, but yes, that time of the year is almost here. September is creeping up and that means it's time to head back to class. While most people think of New Years as the time to start fresh, I actually think that a new school year makes for the perfect occasion. Even though I've stopped the going back to school ritual, I still like to think of September as a...
