Best in bronzers for summer 2013
Bronzing can go so right — and so very wrong. From the horiffic orange colour seen on the Jersey Shore cast to that friend who looks like she’s wearing a shiny mask, it’s clear that bronzing is an art to be mastered. Despite those cringe-worthy mistakes, bronzer is the MUST-HAVE summer product if you want some natural [...]

Eco-friendly skincare picks
It’s not easy being green. (Just ask Kermit the Frog.) And it’s certainly not always easy to go green when it comes to skincare products. Everyone wants their creams and lotions to do it all but have only natural ingredients while they’re at it. Here’s a few of our eco-friendly faves: Green Beaver I’ve met [...]

Editor’s Pick: Best new day and night creams
It’s part of my job to test drive new products that land on my desk. (Yeah, I know, it’s not a bad gig.) But my bathroom shelves are overflowing with so many new serums, eye creams and anti-agers it can be hard to pick out the ones that actually deliver on their promises. Luckily, I’ve [...]

2013 Oscars: Red carpet beauty predictions
Oooh la, how I delight in the preening celebs require leading up to the Oscars. Think of all that prep: the juice cleanses, the oxygen facials, the full-bod scrubs, faux-tan missions, sweat lodge sessions, the punishing visits to Barry’s Bootcamp and SoulCycle (Bradley Cooper has been spotted—shirtless!—at the latter) and the lack of carbs! Oh [...]

Masks can do a number of things—tighten pores, [...]

Day 20: L’Occitane Hand Cream Set
When I came back from my honeymoon a few weeks ago, I admired my immaculate cuticles. There wasn’t a dry spot, tear or hangnail in sight. And it wasn’t due to all of the lurrrrve – it was because of the beautiful, humid air in St. Lucia. Mere moments after the plane touched down in [...]
