Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEvery so often, a trend comes along that I totally fall victim to and end up questioning myself, my fashion sense and my taste. This is definitely an example of that. This week we're going to be discussing: the head chain crown. A.K.A. my new love. That's right, I will admit it; I am a total sucker for this trend and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Before we go any...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou've seen press-on nails, and maybe you've even used them before. But how about press-on toenails? I know what you're thinking: 'What?

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe've all been there, you go to bed looking pretty darn cute (if you do say so yourself); your skin is luminous and you can hardly see any under eye circles (sweet!). Then, you wake up well rested and out of nowhere, a big, red bump has appeared and made it's home on your face. So not fun!
First things first, you need to clean, dry and prep that sucker, doing so...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIs there anything more refreshing than mint in the summer time? It's easy to see why mint is hot this season. It's feminine, light and it's the perfect burst of colour with a neutral palette. I love that mint comes in different shades to suit different skin tones. While it's a huge trend for your nails and it's even making a comeback for your eyes, one of the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs a child (and, I'll admit it, full grown adult), my favourite princess was Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Now that it's summer and I'm all about hitting the beach, I've been inspired by my favourite princess to bring you a mani fit for a mermaid!

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basA little while back, we posted this video: a first impression of using the lip tattoo. If you've never heard of lip tattoos before, chances are, you're looking dubiously at your computer screen right now and scratching your head, thinking 'lip....tattoos?'.
Yes, lip tattoos; and it's exactly what it sounds like. Remember those temporary tattoos you would...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBecause the weather changes so drastically here in the summer, I always feel like it's the perfect time to take a look at some of the products and pieces I'm using. I re-evaluate whether or not they're working for me and if not, I toss them aside and get ready to experiment a bit to find something that works even better. This is true when it comes to my beauty routine, my...
