I am the proud owner of semi-hooded lids. And no, this isn't a car term. If you haven't heard of hooded eyelids before, let me give you the low down: hooded eyes/eyelids are when eyelids are partially covered by skin underneath the brow when the eyes are open.
Hooded lids can make your eyes appear smaller and of course, we always want our peepers to be big and bright! Plus, they can...
This past year, one of the major beauty innovations to hit the market was the BB cream. While BB creams had been popular in Asia for a while, they've only recently become commonplace here in North America. BB stands for Blemish or Beauty Balm and it's marketed as an 'all-in-one' product that brightens and offers moisturization and coverage.
(images via elionia.blogg.se, weheartit.com, fatal-e.tumblr.com) YouTube is a goldmine of information. Especially when it comes to beauty. I think we definitely proved that with our round up of 10 Jaw Dropping Halloween Tutorials. However, those tutorials aren't exactly 'office appropriate' so we thought a guide to your essential makeup tutorials via YouTube was needed...
The Review of the Week goes to a product that is a crucial element to keeping friends. What is it? Deodorants and anti-perspirants!
They keep you smelling fresh throughout the day, especially during the more active and stressful moments. No one ever wants to smell body odour, especially not when in close quarters with others. Adding a refreshing smell to the situation makes everyone a happy...
Normally, every Monday we introduce two new contests for you to enter in and two cool new prize packs that can be won. This week, we decided to switch it up a bit! While we're still going to have two fabulous new contests and prize packs, we're going to let the prize packs be a mystery!
However, what we will tell you is the retail value of each of the prize packs, though we won't...
Whether it's making your normally luscious locks do an excellent impression of straw or giving you a serious case of hat head, winter is not a good friend to your hair (or skin for that matter!). This is doubly true for those of us with colour treated hair. Add that daily wash and the heat from your curler/blow dryer/straightener and you've got a recipe for dry hair disaster on your hands...
There's something about the cold weather starting that makes me want to curl up in my bed at 8 pm and not get up until I absolutely have to (which is about three snoozed alarms later). Not only does this just feel oh-so-good, but there's definitely something to getting your beauty sleep. When you get more sleep, it's physically noticeable. You look alert, awake and you reduce the...
With the newest release of the Bond empire in theatres now, Mr. 'shaken, not stirred' seems to be on everyone's minds. Except, well, mine. Here's a secret: I saw my very first ever Bond film just last weekend and here's another secret: I could take or leave Bond. The gadgets, gizmos and action do nothing for me. The Bond Girl beauty on the other hand, now that's my cup of...
As soon as the cold wind makes it's first appearance of the season, my skin immediately reacts with a 'We're not ready for this, not yet! It's too early!'. Within minutes, my hands do a wonderful impression of lizard skin. And while snakeskin can be totally great in a pair of skinny jeans, scaliness is not trending this year in beauty.
It's a recurring joke between my friends and I that I have an incredibly small mouth. In fact whenever I go to the dentist, the hygentist says to me, "open wider please" and I look shamefully down and say, "This is as good as it gets". Having a small mouth means that I also have thin little lips. I can only day dream of Angelina Jolie's luscious pucker. Plus, having a few lip plumpers...
