It’s true: when we used Manic Panic back in 2001, we were unknowingly at the forefront of a major beauty trend. But last year, after eons of lying dormant (or as part of Avril Lavigne’s 2009-20122 aesthetic), multicolour hair returned — only this time, it came via the locks of celebrities, whose pastel hues trumped […]

Today is Women’s Equality Day, and it feels pretty good to say that there’s actually a lot for women to celebrate this year. There has been a noticeable trend of strong women taking charge of their bodies, their appearances, and their stories in 2015. Seriously, everyone gets a high-five. You deserve it. On the other […]

One day, my best friend sat me down and said “I’m sorry, but I just can’t hear about your love life anymore.” Why? I was telling her the same damn story over and over and over again. The guy would change, but it was always the same plotline: I was devoting all of my time […]

The news that Ralph Lauren will be stepping down as CEO and easing into retirement instantly brought to mind the stack of colourful polo shirts in my husband’s closet. Then I thought of the stack of colourful polo shirts in my sons’ closets. The fact that some of these polo shirts have the label Polo Ralph […]

Once the domain of subcultures, daring beauty gestures like pastel hair and dark lips are fining a place in the mainstream. Crayola-coloured hair browsing at Bergdorfs. Intricate faux tattoos making their way down the red carpet. While years ago even gothic dark-hued nails were considered boundary pushing, now beauty norms are being challenged in a […]

(@olivier_rousteing) on May 24, 2015 at 3:28am PDT It’s the year of the Squad™ and there’s nothing any of us can do about it. Why? Well, most of us aren’t famous, which means our squads — […]

Imagine shopping for beauty products before the Internet existed. You’d be pacing the aisle of the drugstore, trying to decide which mascara deserves your money. What could you use to inform your purchase? There’s your own past experience with a product, but perhaps you wanted to try something new. Maybe you’d heard good (or bad) […]

If there’s anything the press loves more than celebrities, it’s pregnant celebrities—what they’re eating, wearing, how much weight they’ve gained and how quickly they lose the baby weight. Celebrities usually respond in kind with happy photo shoots for People Magazine or by sharing their workouts and diets. What is often absent, however, is honest conversation […]

A photo posted by Mario Dedivanovic (@makeupbymario) on Aug 1, 2015 at 2:33pm PDT A revolution of sorts has been taking place in the beauty industry over the past few years. Once relegated to behind-the-scenes action (whether in an average woman’s bathroom or in a celebrity’s dressing room), the rituals of hair, makeup and skincare […]

See all of Miley’s crazy VMA outfit changes » This year’s MTV Video Music Awards seemed positioned for success. MTV deftly marketed last night’s awards show around their selection of Miley Cyrus as a host, a pick that served as a one-two publicity punch: it reminded viewers of the tongue-flapping, gyrating, outspoken celebrity culture the […]

When Justin Bieber cried after his medley of “Where Are You Now?” and “What Do You Mean?” he was all of us. Not because we were moved or because we could feel God in this Chili’s tonight, but because via his tear ducts, Bieber confirmed that for the first time since Kanye and T-Swift’s infamous […]

I am an (almost) 30-year-old grown-ass woman, and I’ve already started back to school shopping. And I call it back-to-school shopping not because I’m going back to school, but because the prefix makes shopping sound better. Going back to school connotes purpose—it’s a fresh start. Despite the 20 and 30-degree temperatures that end up defining […]
