Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFour power house women graced the cover of Elle for their Women in TV issue. Mindy Kaling (i.e. my soulmate and spirit animal), Allison Williams (of my fave TV show, Girls), Amy Poehler (SO funny) and Zooey Deschanel (a.k.a. my pretend BFF). Each of the covers was so fierce and attention demanding that it seemed only necessary to write about it so I could day dream about the awesome shopping trips...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am in the unfortunate situation of being both incredibly lazy and loving beauty products. When I'm at home, or coming from the office, my usual look is subtle, natural and laid back. Hairs in a bun and clothes are mostly easy, throw on basics. However, there are occasions that need me to quickly take my lazy Alex look and bring it to fancy schmancy professional Alex. Interviews, meetings, dates,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI remember one of my first dye jobs. I decided it would look supa hawt to dye chunks of my dark brunette hair a nice, light blonde. It did not look supa hawt but actually supa awful when that hideous blonde turned into a brassy shade. If only I had known this one trick that uses a common kitchen item to fight those unwanted tones and to keep your shade true to colour.
Sidenote: Well, actually...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith the new year, comes a fresh start and a chance to throw caution to the wind and take a chance on something new. This year I am starting with beauty. While I'm totally not afraid of brights and bold red matte lip is my go-to, there is one lip trend that sends a shiver up my spine: the metallic shimmer lip. Just the name conjures up images in my head of 90's girl bands and frosted candy...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt always amazes me how much of a difference mascara makes. Eyes go from ho-hum to BAM! In your face! Having majuurr lashes creates larger eyes and puts the focus on those peepers. If only we woke up in the morning with mascara-like lashes all ready to go, amirite?! Well, actually, there may be something to it. While we've tried lash extensions and totally loved the results, extensions are not...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIn my battle against winter skin, my main weapon is a good mask. Currently, I'm all about Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Mask. They're concentrated, hydration goodness with ingredients that quickly penetrate and absorb into the skin which means that I see immediate results but those results stay with me throughout the day. So, of course, I'm always open to hearing about new products and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've never been quiet about my love for tea tree oil. It's always in my medicine cabinet and if I'm on the go, I am sure to have a small bottle in my bag. Because it's an antiseptic and kills bacteria, it's so multi-purpose that you just never know when it's going to come in handy! While there are so many uses for tea tree oil that would leave my head spinning (including mouth wash apparently, but...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis week, we want to know what beauty goodies you scored for the holidays. I know, I know, Christmas still isn't for another 2 days (and thank goodness because someone's still got some shopping to do), but Hanukkah has come and gone and I'm sure a few of you have already peeked at the pressies under the tree so we're starting early! From December 23-29, review ANY beauty product that you've...
