Fruity Fingers: Revlon Fruitful Temptations

30 June 2009

My nails still smell like coconut dessert. If you know me, you know that isn’t really a good thing because I only like dessert scents while I eat dessert. But if you like gourmand-esque olfactory flavouring, I can at least tell you the fragrance in Revlon’s limited-edition Fruitful Temptations Scented Nail Enamel ($5.95 each) lasts [...]

Enter to WIN: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Makeup for Your Eye Colour

29 June 2009

I love the make-it-easy philosophy behind eye-colour-specific makeup collections. We have enough questions to answer in the morning — where’s my coffee, should I wear jeans or a skirt, do I need a sweater even though it’s @#%$ June, is Ryan Reynolds leaving Scarlett for me next week or the week after — without having [...]

F is for Fashion: If I were skinny I would wear that

26 June 2009

Welcome to my life in fashion. “If I were skinny I would wear that,” has always been my immediate in-my-head reaction to seeing something I liked on models, celebrities, and irritatingly slender women. I don’t appear to be getting much of a handle on my style envy, so I’ll share it instead. And oh please [...]

Guest Post: Sugarshock Lashes Onto New L'Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara

25 June 2009

I saw Sugar Shock’s Kristen Vinakmens at a press meet recently and experienced sharp lash envy. Upon my obviously resentful “wow, you have great lashes,” she attributed their drama to L’Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara ($11.95 CAN/$9.99 US). I’ve not yet tried it because I’m on hiatus from mascara (got killer lash extensions I’ll tell [...]

Just Geeking: The Style Spy is Very Nice

24 June 2009

I’m tickled. And honoured. The Style Spy, big game in Vancouver’s style-and-shopping social media, asked me some questions and posted the answers. I’m unnerved at the size of my face — I thought it would be wee, and I want to change all the makeup and add more lashes. But I’m also chuffed that The [...]

Waterproof!: GOSH Extreme Art Eye Liner

24 June 2009

You want waterproof? You’ll get more waterproof than you can handle with GOSH Extreme Art liquid eye liner ($16) — in a good way — especially in icky, makeup-melty summertime humidity.
I’ve heard tales of this stuff staying on for days. In fact, I heard exactly that kind of story from a friend of mine, a [...]

Six Inches: A Good Size for a Sun-Hat Brim

23 June 2009

You think your little hat actually protects your face from the sun? If it looks like either of the two hats on the right side of the above Gap image, you might want to be careful about going into the UVA/UVB light.

Cold-Sore Fix: Zeno CS Treatment Device

22 June 2009

Cold sores are a bit of a heavy Monday topic. At least that’s the staff’s opinion. But I like the idea that folks who deal with cold sores may now have at hand something to speed healing.

F is for Feet: Airplus Coolmax Insoles

19 June 2009

Summer + shoes = sweaty, uncomfortable feet. Ick. As well, frankly, most flat shoes these days have as much foot support as a pair of slippers, the soles are so cheap and thin.

Deflation: Victoria Beckham gets Breast Reduction

18 June 2009

According to reports televised and online, Victoria Beckham got a couple things off her chest in the name of fashion. She’s figured out that melon-ball implants are perhaps not the most editorial-friendly accessories.

Guest Post: I Heart Beauty Gushes about Korres Watermelon Sunscreen

17 June 2009

Meet Katherine Flemming of I Heart Beauty, a new beauty blog I think you’ll like. Staff’s not so keen — she’s miffed I’m putting other people’s voices here instead of asking her to write. Frankly, Katherine’s better than she is and nicer, too. See what you think.

Snip-Snip: Tweezerman Hangnail Snipper

16 June 2009

Ever ripped a hangnail off? Fun, huh? In fact, the staff used it as an excuse for not doing any work yesterday. Cuz her finger was all red and hurting. *rolls eyes*
