Fall is really here, and I'm loving it. This means I want burgundy, emerald, purples, blues and all the shades in between. I'm not a pastel type of gal, so spring and summer shades don't do a whole lot for me. Jewel tones for fall is where it's at. 

If you're on the same page as me, you're likely looking to spruce up your makeup bag this season with a few gorgeous lip and polish colours. We've...

I put my skin through a lot (long nights, little sleep, cocktails and salty but oh so delicious foods), and in turn, it rebels. I can't really blame it. When it does get angry, I try and calm it with a few beauty products and give it some much needed TLC. 

My go to products include masks and moisturizers and of course, I'm always on the hunt for something new and better. This week, we want you...

Anyone who knows me, knows I love the movie Clueless. That closet scene?! Ugh, I die. Besides being a major style inspiration (hello, she's the lady who introduced a young Alexandra to Calvin Klein and Alaia!) Clueless has offered up such dialogue gems as 'Kind of a Baldwin' and 'As if!'. So it's safe to say, that Clueless is an epic and iconic film. 

So when I found out that NCLA developed a...

I have a deep dark confession to make. After a major haircut a while back, I vowed to be good to my locks. Well, I didn't really make good on that promise. I've been washing it daily, contrary to my own advice, and I just haven't been very nice to it in general (sorry hair!) 

With my hair in rough shape, I'm never felt like a worse beauty blogger. But, I will try and redeem myself. I've been...

Oh Miley. We need to talk. 

With an upcoming album release (entitled Bangerz, soon to be a classic?) and hot off a controversial MMVA performace, Miley Cyrus and hottie Liam Hemsworth have announced the end of their engagement. Sad face, Miley, sad face! 

Rumours about why the pair have split are circulating, and it's hard not to gossip when the star has made some seriously drastic style...

The other day, we broke down the best nail art designs and polish shades hot off the New York Fashion Week runway. Well today, we're doing the same thing for beauty. 

Spring is generally, a lighter season for makeup. While fall gives us the return of the smoky eye and a few jewel tones, spring usually shows us pretty pinks and bare faced beauty. This year was no exception. We saw dewy...

Has the chilly wind in the air got you wishing that summer would return to us? We're in the same boat, you and I. Unfortunately, the chances of this happening are slim to none. At least we can channel some of that summer spirit into our manicure. 

We just wrapped up Spring/Summer 2014 New York Fashion Week and the runway graced us with gorgeous nail...

Not only has NYFW just recently come to a close, but here in our own hometown of T Dot, we've just closed the curtain on TIFF. It was a whirlwind of late night film screenings, parties, dinners and celeb spotting and we. are. pooped. Not only do we need a serious nap, but our skin needs some TLC too! 

That's why I put together this round up of skin saviours to help detox and recover and repair...

I usually only go for a matte lip, I've always found it more chic and fashionable. Lately however, I've been really attracted to a glossy lip. Maybe it's all that shininess? In any case, I'm just loving a glossy lippie which is why this week, I want you to review one for me! 

When you review a lip gloss from Sept 16-22, you'll automatically be entered to win a prize pack worth approx...

We recently rolled out the up and coming trendy hairstyles for fall 2013, so this time around we decided to talk makeup. This runway season was definitely a breath of fresh air. The skin was done in matte and contouring had just the slightest hints of colour and lips were juicy but textured. With emphasis on eyes and brows, this is set to be one pretty season! 

Here are my favourite five...
