Aside from the painfully cold temps that put us on a season-long lockdown, blizzard-like conditions that make leaving the house hard AF, and dry skin that peels off as much as Meryl Streep’s in Death Becomes Her, there’s one more thing that makes the winter season utterly annoying–matted-down manes from our mandatory toques. Maybe it’s […]

I had only one directive for my hairstylist as I slipped into her chair and sized up my piece-y, shoulder-length mane. “Cut it really blunt,” I told her. She paused, surprised, with her scissors in mid-air above my head. “Like a blunt bob?” she asked. I took it she hadn’t heard that request in a […]

Order makes the world go round, especially when it comes to our everyday routines.

Think the Olsen twins originated slept-in, second-day beachy waves? Well, that is very upsetting and you should think these things through before you nod along.

I want to overhaul my beauty bag with a new set of makeup brushes. What should I look for in terms of brushes that will help create a natural look and finish?
Cosmetics are so effective in enhancing your features and brushes are an excellent way of using and manipulating different products to further boost what you already have. Go beyond traditional brushes and try something new with M.A.C’s Masterclass Brush Collection (from $30, maccosmetics.com). These brushes—which, admittedly, look like a cross between a hairbrush and a toothbrush—may be intimidating at first, but are a game changer once you get them in your hands! The super-soft synthetic bristles are tightly packed to achieve a very smooth finish when applying cream products. They’re also fantastic for packing on powder pigment (with a heavier hand and buffing motion) or diffusing colour for the softest, most natural finish (by using a gentle, sweeping motion). And thanks to the ergonomic handles, these brushes are extremely user-friendly for anyone, from makeup novice to makeup maven.
