Have you done your back to school shopping yet? No, not like pens and pencils and paper (that's the boring stuff)! I'm talking back to school beauty shopping (obvi the most important part of fall, amirite?). We put together a shopping list of some awesome new products out on the shelves just in time for the new school year, so pin/tweet/fb/print/save this baby and get ready to do some major...
Here at CA HQ, we're fortunate enough to be able to try out amazing new beauty products. And there are a ton of amazing ones. In fact, so many products cross our desks each month, that it sometimes takes an extra special product to make us sit up and really take notice. These past few weeks have been a record for us, because quite a few beauty products have seriously made us say, "ohhh, now that's...
Chicks, I did something really bad. I need to tell someone about it, so I am telling you. I went on a bit of a bender. A beauty bender. Inspired by our Skincare Review of the Week, I did some major replenishing and went on a skincare shopping spree. It wasn't pretty, though hopefully I will be (wink, wink)!
I've been dealing with some weird skin issues these past few months and my...

It's the dog days of summer, that point where it's starting to get ever so slightly chillier in the evenings but still a scorcher during the daytime. It's a definite sign that the seasons are changing. Now, I'm not quite ready to give up my summer beauty, but I'm also really excited about the upcoming fall colours and products. My compromise? Nails.
I can talk beauty for hours. If I overhear a stranger at a party bringing up their new lipstick, I interrupt and cozy up to them to talk shop! Now, while I love discussing makeup, my absolute favourite talk is skincare. And with my skin troubles and breakouts, I love getting all the suggestions and advice I can.
That's why this week, we're doing a skincare haulage! Review any skincare product...
Masks are an essential part of my skin care routine. I notice a huge difference in tone and texture, and for someone with acne prone skin a clay mask is must-have. Blemish management aside, masks also give my skin a glowy boost before a big date or event.
I love critiquing magazine covers. Breaking down the shoot, taking stock of hair, makeup, and designer clothes, and the art of fashion photography? Total binge-worthy pleasure. I can look at photos of models for hours and not get bored.
September is the biggest month of the year for magazines, so publishers are bringing their A-game with some super cool spreads. Let's talk about them,...
I love those Sephora VIB points and usually they're incentive enough for me to do some serious credit card damage. However, lately I've been going on a real purge at the drugstore. In my makeup and skincare bags the majority of my products all currently hail from the drugstores. Is it just me or have drugstore beauty brands seriously upped their game?
