When it comes to playing around with beauty products, there are things that take a long time to master—like learning how to do a new hairstyle or makeup technique –and things that are easy to change in a matter of minutes. (We’re not the only ones who wait until a free Saturday afternoon to test a style, are we?) This week, Beauty Fix is taking on questions about simple fixes—such as the trick to removing waterproof mascara, why you should wear bronzer long after summer ends and how to perfect a ponytail that doesn’t scream “I’m going to the gym!”

For today’s bag snoop, we’re going inside the beautiful Marni bag belonging to Jennifer Daubney, Holt Renfrew’s longstanding lady behind the velvet rope (a.k.a. manager of public relations). While her daily dealings may involve some of the best names in fashion, from Tom Ford to Prada and Chanel, she is one of the most hilarious, endearing people we know. Always a class act from head to toe, this PR maven hasn’t let being seven months pregnant hold her back from being Alexander Wang-clad at all the summer’s best parties.

It’s been a while now, but when I was a teenager I used to force my pimples to pop and now I’m left with considerable scarring around my mouth area. Is it too late to correct the damage I’ve done?
You’ll be happy to hear that “scarring” is a misleading term. Popping pimples is a damaging activity because it inflames and infuriates your cells—dark spots are the repercussions. They’re not “scars” though—they’re pigmentation clusters that can be treated and minimized with dermabrasion, phototherapy, or by applying a high concentration of Vitamin C, nature’s powerful exfoliant.

Today, we’re going inside the bag not only belonging to, but designed by one of FASHION’s main men, George Antonopoulos! This stylist-come-designer and all around awesome gent has been responsible for some of our most genius fashion spreads to date, including our recent cover shoot with Andrej Pejic. It’s only natural that we’d want to get reeeeal close.

Well, aren’t you in for a treat! Today, we’re exploring the Pierre Hardy bag belonging to bow-tied boy about town and The Room’s creative director, Nicholas Mellamphy. A long-time purveyor of chicness, Mellamphy was the genius behind Yorkville boutique Hazel, and more recently has become one of the key members of the Bay’s new transformation team. You can thank him later for putting the likes of Proenza Schouler, Thakoon, Erdem, Christopher Kane, and Carven together in one room, but in the meantime, let’s snoop!

See all our winter beauty dry skin and hair essentials! »

If cold weather automatically equals itchy, dry skin and flyaway hair, you’re not alone. There’s nothing quite like a blast of cold air (for five months straight, that is) to make us realize just how much care our skin and hair actually need. Suddenly the idea of layering on as many moisturizers and serums as possible doesn’t seem crazy. Deep conditioners go from being a weekly treat to a daily necessity. And if there was an award for hoarding hand creams, we would certainly win it this time of year.

Today, we’ve got a special treat by way of our beloved fashion director Susie Sheffman’s little Roots bag of curiosities. Inside? Three identical pairs of glasses, love notes from her children, styling clamps, and a plastic fork. All things that will make you go hmmm…

I think I’ve had an allergic reaction to makeup because my eyelids are red, puffy, and peeling. How can I remedy my suffering skin fast? Double, double, toil, and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble. No, just joking—witchcraftery will not be necessary to fix your agitated eyes, though we do recommend finding a potion that […]
