Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love the sun. Don't we all? Unfortunately, the love is entirely one-sided. My fair-skinned bod skips right past a sun-kissed tawny glow and goes straight to lobster red. If you're a sun worshipper like myself, you surely sympathize.
Let's stop learning our lesson the hard way and get straight to our summer sun guide (i.e. avoiding painful and aging burns):

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day I came across this blog. It shows just how impactful makeup can be. The woman in the photos below is the same woman! How incredibly different does she look in each picture?

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI think that face masks might be my very favourite skincare product. Not only do they pack a serious punch when it comes to intense hydration or deep cleaning, but I love that masks provide me with a nice little 10 minute sesh of 'me time'.
This week, I'm on the hunt for a new face mask and I need your help. When you review a face mask from June 3 to 9, you will automatically...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am obsessed with travel sized items. They're just. so. cute. I can't even handle the adorableness of mini versions of my favourite products. Not only can you spend you time 'oohing' and 'aahing' at their cuteness, but (newsflash!) they're also super practical. The great thing about travel beauty buddies is that they often come in kits with everything you need in a...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLately, I've been breaking one of my ultimate rules: always, always, always remove your makeup before bed. I pretty much deserve and F in that department. I've just been so busy and honestly, I just pass out without a second thought! The result of this is a face full of ick. So, in order to get me back on the cleansing wagon, this week's Review of the Week giveaway category is......

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMaybe it's that Mr. Sun has finally started showing his face around here or that I've finally gotten my skin issues under control. Or maybe it's just that I've been in a really good mood lately, but I am absolutely loving my current beauty routine. I've been testing out a few new things recently and either I've had a streak of good luck or these products are darn good...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNot too long ago, we discussed a few common beauty mistakes. I will shamefully admit that I was guilty of committing more than one of them. This got me thinking about what else I might be doing wrong when it comes to beauty.
Perhaps the beauty advice my mother gave me as a young teen wasn't actually as accurate as I thought? With this in mind, I set out to do some beauty detective...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basApril 22nd is Earth Day and while Mother Nature and I haven't exactly been on the best of terms lately (um, where exactly is spring?), this Earth Day, I'm going to try and call a truce. In fact, I'm even going to celebrate all that is green and earthy in the best way possible - with a huge beauty haul!
Going green with your beauty is easier now than ever. There are some great...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI mentioned the other day that I recently came down with a bad case of the breakouts. I went through my trusty cleansing and treating routine, my skin cleared up for a week or two and then went it back to it's old ways. Humph. I was not happy.
It actually turned out to be a bit more intense than I had originally thought, so I went to the doctor to see if there was anything I could...
