Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHaving oily skin, whenever I hear the words 'glisten, sheen or dewey', I cringe inside. I'm not alone, there are always chicks looking for advice on how to deal with oily skin. While doing some clever internet googling, I came across a bizarre remedy I had never heard of before: using milk of magnesia as a primer to reduce oil and shine.
On the scale of Preparation H to Peptol...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSimply put, Diane Kruger is amazing. She is beautiful, tall and willowy and she used to be a ballerina and model. Plus she's dating Joshua Jackson (a.k.a. Pacey from Dawson's Creek) so it's safe to say that I'm kind of jealous of her.
I was not jealous however, when she wore this furry/feather/sparkly outfit at the Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf you've never heard of Preparation H before or are unaware of what it is designed for, brace yourselves.
Preparation H is an ointment used to treat hemorrhoids. However, we will not be playing 'Mythbusters' with that remedy today (phew!). It's another, much wilder beauty remedy we're testing out - a trick that some actresses and models reportedly use to banish...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI confessed in our Beauty DIY article on creating nail polishes that I am a huge makeup hoarder, and being a makeup hoarder comes with a load of issues. I compile useless makeup with no purpose and this is spread out everywhere, like literally, everywhere. This makes it difficult to accomplish my beauty routine. Searching through a big bin of makeup with one hand still wet with polish while...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast week we gave you an easy DIY for a homemade toner. Hopefully you've been loving the toner and the glowing skin you're getting from it! The recipe makes enough for a small bottle with a little leftover, so if you're looking for an easy way to use up what's left, why not try a scrub?
