Editor’s note: The Detox Diaries are back! After Carole completed the Benourished juice cleanse (detailed in Part 1, if you missed it), she bravely dived into cleanse #2…
During the window between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I took on the juice cleanse that started it all: BluePrintCleanse. Based out of New York, it’s perhaps the best-known juice cleanse out there, as celebrities like Olivia Wilde, Blake Lively, and Jessica Szohr have all been spotted carrying BPC’s signature bottles.

Here we go! It’s your GG beauty coverage—and my goodness, there are a lot of celebs to view and discuss! (Um, 25, to be exact.)
My overall observation? There was a lot more experimentation going on with the hair than the makeup. And of course, as is the case with every awards show, a whole bunch of celebs stuck with the can’t-go-wrong updo and nude makeup combo. It’s boring for beauty editors, but it works.
Shall we do something different this time and start with my least favourite looks first? (You know, the automatic ABORT ABORT ABORTs.) Then, we’ll talk about the mushy middle, and finally get to my favourites of the night. Let’s dig in! Keep reading »
