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.

And Moschino Cheap & Chic, which used to show in Milan, moved this season to London… Style.com mused that it said something about London’s current “energy.”
Now, I’m always a bit leery when people start talking about “energy,” especially when there are implied quotation marks. (Once, a guy told me I had good “energy” and I simply could NOT date him. Ew.) However, I will concede that I’m feeling the vibes when it comes to a few of London’s new beauty trends. Let’s take a look: Keep reading »

Remember Jasmine’s aMAZing post on curly hair a few weeks back? Well, I thought it was high time that you guys got a little bit more acquainted, seeing as she’s joining us as a brand new BEAUTYEDITOR.ca contributor. Yay!
So a few quick deets: her name is Jasmine Kabiling; she’s 21 years old; is a fourth-year journalism student; is currently interning at the Toronto radio station Newstalk 1010… and describes herself as “a former tomboy turned aspiring beauty writer.” Oh Jasmine, welcome to the fold.
Just like I asked Elizabeth to share all her beauty intel in a Q&A last year, I’m doing the same with Jasmine—so come get to know each other, will you? Keep reading »
