A trip to the drugstore never ceases to amaze me and always results in me laying down some major cash. However, in my defence, you can find some great products at an equally great price point. 

With all of the products that line the walls, it's inevitable that some get lost behind all that glossy and shiny packaging that is oh so very distracting. I think it's worth it to take a...

Amanda Seyfried recently walked the red carpet at the premiere of the much anticipated Les Mis doing an exaggerated, dramatic, thick lined cat eye (below, right) and I was instantly in love. As the party season approaches, I'm labelling this exaggerated cat eye as the holiday look to copy!

Last year Pantone's colour of the year was Tangerine Tango, a bright and sunny orange shade. This year, they've gone the opposite way with an energetic and intense jewel toned emerald!

With the neons that were raging in the summer and the oxblood that took over for fall, it's a new option and we're loving this breath of fresh air! It's lively, vivid and sophisticated all at...

Though I don't use powder all that often, it's an essential in my makeup bag for setting my makeup, giving it a longer lasting finish and reducing shine. And... I just ran out of my powder. Darn.

The holidays are a time for three things: eggnog, shopping and glitter. Coincidentally, those three things are also my favourites things of all time.

I dream of the day that I can pull a Katniss Everdeen style intricate braid on myself, but chances are, I'm going to be dreaming for a long time. While these crazy braids and detailed styles are awe-inspiring, they're also (like, really, really) hard. Let's get real: I am not going to attempt to do that. 

I'm a big fan of anything easy but at the same time, I still want to look...
