The following is a stream of consciousness report of writer Kara Crabb’s first dabble with face waxing. Terror, humour and beauty transformations ensue. Do I even need to do this? Is it a statement if I don’t? Maybe I genuinely enjoy removing patches of hair off my body. Maybe I’m not so much conforming to […]

A photo posted by @ladygaga on Feb 13, 2015 at 1:03pm PST A lot can happen in seven days. That’s why every Friday, we’re going to take time to look at three beauty moments we had feelings about that week, and discuss them accordingly. 1. Lady Gaga cut and dyed her hair (maybe!) Reporting on […]

Humble-brag alert: there are many makeup skills I’m pretty proud to have. I can paint on a bold lip in under a minute. I know the difference between eau de parfum and an eau de toilette. With the help of a Q-tip or two (hey, I’m not perfect), I can even craft a cat eye […]

The early 2000s were a dark time. Literally. My dirty blonde hair stood out amongst a sea of bleached highlights, but because I couldn’t afford to shell out my hard-earned McDonald’s money on wrapping my hair in tin foil, I did the next best thing: I enlisted my best friends to box-dye my hair blonde.

A couple of years ago I attempted to do something only highly skilled professionals should be allowed to do—I waxed my own eyebrows. See, this was a sad attempt to save money because at the time I was a starving student and any money I had left over after paying for books, food and rent […]
