I've already told you that lately, I can't stop day dreaming about fairy tales. Of course, I also can't stop day dreaming about the princes in them (but we'll leave that until our next Gratuitous Hottie Face Off). Seeing as I'm all about the romance and whimsy of these stories, I'm counting down the days until the new Snow White and the Huntsman movie is released (I'll...

What do you get when you cross the lace nail art trend with a polka dot manicure? Well, you get an adorable lacy-edged inspired manicure; only this one's done all by hand, with a dotting tool. 

Now, a word on dotting tools, because I express my love for them enough. Dotting tools are seriously one of the best nail art investments you'll ever make. I covet my own tool; without it I...

As Mandy and I both mentioned in our skin routine articles (see mine over here and Mandy's over here), we're big believers in skin treatments. By that we mean facial scrubs and peels and masks of all kinds. Personally, I credit masks with helping reduce my acne and I know Mandy swears by her masks to get that glowing and hydrated skin we all crave. 

While there are a ton of products...

I guess I can blame it on the anticipated release of Snow White and the Huntsman, but lately I'm in kind of a fairy tale daze. More specifically, I've been obsessed with the romantic and organic look of fairy tale inspired beauty. With the modern remakes of fairy tales being released, I'm in love with the wearable interpretations of hair and makeup. 

Today we're going for...

I love the summer. I love the weather, I love the sun and I love the liberating feeling of that first beach-worthy day. To be honest though, I also kind of dread that first beach-worthy day. Why? Because it means that I'm going to have to start rocking some shorts soon and my legs are in no way, shape or form ready for that.

I have one very dirty little secret when it comes to my beauty routine: I rarely clean my brushes. It's kind of embarrassing to admit. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I swear I'm not a dirty gross person you guys, I'm just super lazy when it comes to that sort of thing.

I confess that I know that I should clean my brushes (and I'm sure Mandy will chastise me over and...

I'm a self-proclaimed beauty/skincare junkie so I am always on the hunt for that perfect product. Unfortunately, my skin is quite sensitive so it's a challenge to find products that perform well and don't aggravate my skin. I've tried countless of products and though I'm still looking for that miracle worker, I've found a routine that works for me.

We first caught onto the watercolour manicure after seeing it at Toronto's Spring Fashion Week 2012 at the Lucian Matis show. For some bizarre reason though, we never thought to try them out. We thought it would be too difficult to achieve the same runway look. But then we thought, 'nah! We're an adventurous bunch here at ChickAdvisor'. So we sat down and played...
