I feel like eye shadow is underrated. It's one of my favourite makeup products because of all the possibilities and how much fun you can have with it. I don't think enough people really appreciate it! But with the jewel tone trend and major smoky eye effect we're seeing this fall, I'm hoping that eye shadow gets a serious boost in popularity. 

With all the shadow I'm...

If the previously discussed princess-esque headchains were a little out of your comfort zone but you still want to play with a headpiece trend this fall, you need to go out and get yourself a statement headband. 


Dolce and Gabana really hit it out of the park in their fall 2012 show when they put gloriously baubled headbands on model's heads (yes, gloriously baubled is a thing). The...

We've seen the feather nail art, we've dabbled in both crystal and caviar manis, we tried our hand at magnetic polish and played around with glitter. Safe to say, we thought we'd seen it all when it came to nail polishes. 

Enter in Illamasqua with their rubber finish polish. Like the name suggests, the nail polish imitates the matte sheen of a rubber boot. They...

Let's be honest with each other for a sec. I (and I think can safely say we) don't wash my (our) hair everyday. Some days, it might even be a little oily (gasp!). I would like to say that my disdain for hair washing comes from a strict beauty routine and not wanting to strip my hair of it's natural oils. The truth is far less glamorous though, it boils down to pure laziness.

As I left my house for work today, I wore not only a cardi but a blazer as well. It was clear: fall is here. I was feeling a bit nostalgic for the summer months but I quickly perked up because I realised the following things: 

1. Fall means corduroy, plaid, chunky knit sweaters galore!
2. September issue of Vogue comes out.
3. I have an excuse to not shave (like I'm the only one...

I'm convinced that whoever invented fluorescent lighting had a very personal vendetta against me. I hate it. It's yellowy hues casts a greenish, blue light over my skin making me look tired and sick. It's harshness brings out every line and crease. Clearly, fluorescent lighting is an evil tool designed to make me look my worst. 

Unfortunately...

For me, beauty starts with my skin. I like to think of my face as a canvas and makeup as the paint. But before I start to paint, I've got to have a good base to work with. Which is why skincare is so important. The ChickAdvisor staff has let you in on their skincare routines (see Alexandra's, Mandy's and Ali's) and now we're turning it around to you! 

This week (September...

Miley had the right idea when she decided to go for the chop not too long ago (no pun intended!) and try a short and edgy pixie cut! We recently got the chance to speak with Eric Del Monaco, hair guru and owner of Del Monaco Hair Studio here in Toronto and he gave us the 411 on fall hair trends. You heard it from the best chicks: lengths are rising; short hair is where it is at this fall...
