A while back, I posted a video about the $20 makeup challenge that's been making the rounds in the YouTube world. Here's the scenario: you're traveling and your luggage has been lost (no!).  Oh, and you're also on a budget (double no!). You have $20 and $20 only to go out an purchase everything you'll need to create an acceptable look. This may not seem too...

Is it just me or is Kate Bosworth pretty much flawless? Whenever I see her photo, I am reminded of some sort of elfin princess creature. The worst part is, I can't even hate her for it. Even her "imperfections" are perfect. 

That's why even though I kind of hate this outfit Kate's wearing in this week's yay or nay, I can't say anything bad about it. 


On anyone else,...

Is it weird to wish for certain types of weather just so you can get a chance to bust out your favourite new item of clothing? 

After the first day of bright sunny weather comes around every year, I make a beeline for cute little kiosks in Toronto and snap up fun cheap and cheerful pairs of sunglasses. I'm definitely not one to splurge on glasses because A. I have a habit of losing...

Last week we wrapped up some great self tanner options for you to use during this beach season. Then we thought, why should we get to keep all this good stuff? Why not dole some our favourites out to you guys? That means that this week, two chicks will be luck enough to receive two of the items from that very same round up. 

Which two items? 


Origins The Great Pretender Faux Glow...

It's that time of the year again. Every June, I start counting down the days, dreading what is inevitably on it's way here. I'm talking about June 17th, a.k.a. Father's Day. I hope I'm not the only one stumped for gifts this year. What is it about dads that make them so hard to shop for? I have a theory that once a man becomes a dad, he automatically starts being the worst...

Every month or so, I start obsessing over a specific product. Usually, it's an insanely luxe and covetable item that I know I can't afford but it's just oh-so gorgeous and I can't help but ogle picture upon picture of it. My pinterest account can attest to this fact. 

A while back the object of my affection was the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and last month it...

A little while a go, I posted a forum asking chicks what they thought of the 'before and after' picture trend, because lately, I can't get enough of them! Seriously, my love for them is getting a bit out of hand, I will be featured on My Strange Addiction any time now. 

If you haven't really seen or heard about this trend, here's the down low: basically girls post...

Despite what I like to believe, I am not a professional model. Sadly, being only 5'5'', I lack one of the essential qualities needed to be one. I do however, get my photo taken on a regular basis here at ChickAdvisor so I do know a thing or two about being in front of the camera. I used to find getting my picture taken a huge annoyance but I've grown accustomed to pictures now and...

Alright, ladies. Now, I don't want to get all "preachy, naggy mom" on you but there's something we need to discuss. It's about the Snooki-inspired orange-tastic tanned look that quite a few of us are guilty of. Myself included, I will reluctantly admit to a certain incident back in high school (orange palms, not so hot). While I do give you gals kudos though for sticking with the...

To most people, the phrase 'beauty oil' is an oxymoron. The misconception about oils, specifically for face and hair is that they make your hair greasy or they make you break out. However, this isn't necessary the case. As any beauty junkie knows, 'one size fits all' skincare in any product, doesn't exist so certain oils may not be right for certain people but that's no...
