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.

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...
I believe it was Yves Saint Laurent who said, 'Fashions fade, style is eternal'. You only need to look at a few photos of 80's fashion to know that this is totally true! While fads and trends come and go, there are always a few key pieces that can carry you through for years to come. These are the items worth spending a few dollars on.

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...

But every year without fail, whether it's going into winter or summer, I get sick. Because the weather has been getting chillier lately, of course, I caught the flu bug.
