Maybe it's that Mr. Sun has finally started showing his face around here or that I've finally gotten my skin issues under control. Or maybe it's just that I've been in a really good mood lately, but I am absolutely loving my current beauty routine. I've been testing out a few new things recently and either I've had a streak of good luck or these products are darn good...

We all know that side boobage is a thing. A little ta-ta peeking out from the side is just the right amount of scandalous flirtation. It's not for everyone, but overall I think we can say that when it works, it werks.

At the recent Iron Man 3 red carpet premiere, my girl GP took it to a whole new level with a flash of side butt. Yup. So I guess it's a thing now too?

As I mentioned in the recent round up of 6 must-have oh-so-incredible summer beauty collections, summer is clearly the best season for beauty. Winter fashion and products tend to be heavier and darker. Thankfully, right around this time colour comes back in full force! It's a breath of fresh air after a long, dreary season of black and grey. 

Not only do we have more colour, but...

Not too long ago, we discussed a few common beauty mistakes. I will shamefully admit that I was guilty of committing more than one of them. This got me thinking about what else I might be doing wrong when it comes to beauty. 

Perhaps the beauty advice my mother gave me as a young teen wasn't actually as accurate as I thought? With this in mind, I set out to do some beauty detective...

You may remember from previous articles that my skin and I haven't exactly been on great terms lately. She's (my skin is a lady, afterall) been rebelling hardcore and I'm not happy. While I've been treating and cleansing, I'm still not quite ready to venture out into the world without some extra coverage. 

That's where our Review of the Week comes in! This...

Recently we offered 30 of our readers the opportunity to try the entire lineup of Venus cartridges and handles (did you know that any Venus cartridge fits any Venus handle anytime? In a custom-size-fits-none world, this is huge).

Our lucky testers put their legs, underarms, and bikini areas through the ringer to give the 411 on which Venus pairings they loved best. About time too, since...

Every time a new season comes around, I say that it's my favourite time of the year for beauty collections. I've said it for the holiday collections and more recently, for the spring ones. You may not believe me, but I really meant it every time! Gals, this time I'm totally and utterly serious and 100% committed when I say, summer is my absolute favourite time for beauty...

I've mentioned in the past that my hair has been less than healthy. After years of a salon boycott and DIY experiments with ombre and numerous shades, my ends were left with a rough, straw like appearance. With my recent haircut and shorter style, I've been trying hard to keep it healthy and in good shape. Part of this has been laying off the hair dye (seriously, I have a problem) and...
