Most days, when I walk around my neighbourhood lately, I can count at least five or ten girls wearing red, yellow or mint-green jeans. (Which is why I may pass on this trend, but we’ll see.) I’m talking about colour-blocking. It’s huge this spring in fashion, and it’s all about wearing two—or more—different solid colours, preferably bright ones, in one outfit.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before people would start to talk about colour-blocking with makeup. And this is the subject I delved into yesterday at the America’s Next Top Model Live event in Toronto, where I was part of a beauty panel on the French Connection Style Stage, with Jill from 29 Secrets and Elaine from Toronto Beauty Reviews. Not surprisingly, I had a lot to say. (Too much, really. Sometimes it occurs to me just how much of my brain space is occupied by obscure beauty facts, and that it is not normal.)
Anyway, let me share—and then I wanna know what YOU think. Keep reading »
What would I do without all the men in my life? I have this guy and this guy and this guy… and now, the newest member of the team, this guy. I like to call him Trainer George. And basically, I pay him to force me to work out—because left to my own devices, I’m a lazy b*tch who’d sell her soul to Miss Vickie’s for a lifetime supply of salt and vinegar chips.
So George helps with that. He and I have logged a lot of “quality time” together over the past couple of months… even though I sometimes hate him (like when he makes me do these awful things called side crawls). Anyway! Since I can find a beauty angle for just about everything, I thought today we’d talk about gym beauty, because even though my thighs are still a work in progress, I’ve already learned a thing or two about looking (semi-)presentable while working up a sweat. Plus, some tips on how to quickly pull yourself together post-workout. Ready? Let’s dewit! Keep reading »
Spring technically arrived on March 20th, but to me it never feels official until Easter weekend. And now, let’s face it: the beauty work begins. Not only is it time to re-dedicate ourselves to proper hair removal, self-tanning and monthly pedicures (yikes, I miss black tights already!), it’s also a good idea to update winter hair and makeup.
Now, I’d be a bad beauty editor if I didn’t mention the first and most obvious spring beauty change you should make, which is lightening up your foundation and increasing your SPF (try a BB Cream if you want both at once). But it’s also my job to inform you of the season’s runway beauty looks! I know most of them are pretty out there, but today I’ve hand-picked five faves that I promise will work for real life. Your spring beauty inspiration begins here… Keep reading »
