Tracy Reese - Spring 2012

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).

Thankfully, there was plenty of exciting beauty action on the pre-game red carpet, so I didn’t feel guilty bailing on the dullsville show itself. (Okay, there was fashion action too, but I don’t pretend to know anything about that… so remember that I’m only talking about hair and makeup here!)

So let me tell you what I thought, and you can tell me what YOU thought, and together we’ll judge everyone. Whee! Keep reading »

Jasmine Kabiling

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 »
