Editor’s pick: Joe Fresh Spring lipsticks and glosses
Joe Fresh can’t stop, won’t stop oozing pretty spring inspiration. Over the last few weeks, Toronto (and I’m guessing the rest of eastern Ontario) has been given the cold shoulder from spring — but Joe Fresh has been there to console me. Every other time I venture into a TTC tunnel or turn on the [...]

Backstage beauty: Lucian Matis
Toronto Fashion Week favourite Lucian Matis started off his show at 1 King St. W. by revisiting a look-a-like dress from his fall 2012 collection. He sent this breathtaking black lace gown encrusted with broken pieces of Baileys bottles (the show’s sponsor) down the runway to signify the start of the show. It worked – the [...]

Backstage beauty: Tanya Taylor at The ShOws
The beauty look on Tanya Taylor‘s fall 2013 runway at Toronto fashion event the shOws had a 1960′s feel — and we were loving it. Flattering for all seasons (and ages) it involved side swept hair with volume at the crown, winged graphic eyeliner and a clean, creamy complexion. Here’s how to get this look at home. [...]

Editor’s pick: Jessica Alba’s Golden Globes beauty
I keep thinking back to all of the perfectly preened retro beauty looks that dotted the Golden Globes red carpet – so swoon-worthy! Still, among all of the Hollywood glamour looks that I loved there was a bevy of boring, bouncing blowouts and forgettable makeup. (I’m looking at you, Kate Hudson and Claire Danes.) So who [...]

Day 13: Stila All is Bright Holiday Lip Glaze Set
I’m not sure about the latest stats, but I do know that almost every woman I befriend carries at least two or three lip products in her bag at a time. You never know when you’ll need a swipe of glossy pink for that holiday luncheon or a natural nude for your next meeting. Plus, [...]

Wedding face: the fundamentals
Finding a wedding dress and shoes was relatively easy – both were fairly easy decisions made in a hot second. But hair and makeup? They were a bit more of a struggle because I wanted something timeless, but also a little undone and French feeling and – most of all – not trying too hard. [...]

Editor’s obsession: Balmy lipstick
Bad news, gloss fanatics. It’s not cool to wear lip gloss anymore. Sorry, but it’s true – and this is coming from a (once) loyal lip gloss wearer. I was raised on a steady diet of sweet and sticky vanilla-scented MAC Cosmetics Lipglasses. They were all I ever knew! But the fashionable crowd has spoken, and [...]

Halloween is the most wonderful time of the year for makeup lovers like me. I appreciate the magic of makeup and how it can transform your look any day, but I particularly love Halloween because it’s the perfect time to throw caution to the wind and really play with makeup. Anything goes. If you’re looking [...]
