All of us want to be like celebrities. And okay, well, that’s not entirely true. But we do have favourite celebrities, and we look to those certain celebrities for style inspiration, and we all have weird allegiances to actors and musicians that lead to us buying their nail polish, makeup, and/or clothing lines because we’ve […]

A quick scan of the headlines from the past week paint a bleak picture of what it’s like to be a young worker in today’s job economy. Everyone from Mary Kate & Ashley’s Dualstar interns to ex-Amazon employees are revealing the long hours, meagre wages and mistreatment they’ve suffered in the name of success in […]

It’s a great time to be a teen girl. The beauty world has rebirthed the majesty of sparkly lip gloss, glitter, and yes, even blue eyeshadow (which actually matches the season’s blue nail polish trend). You can buy shimmering body oil as a grown-ass woman (by Tom Ford, no less) and wear temporary tattoos without apology (and at […]

The end of summer is so strange, isn’t it? Once you graduate and start working a nine-to-five job, summer doesn’t really hold much meaning other than, like, the weather. Your hours are the same, your job is the same; seasons just kind of blend into one another and you keep track of them by monitoring […]

As a beauty writer, nothing irritates me more these days than the booming popularity of beauty DIYs. It’s not that I’m judging anyone for trying to save some money (hey, I’m on a budget too) or that I’m too lazy (okay fine, it’s partly that). I’ve had more than my fair share of beauty experiments […]

First off, I applaud Kiran Gandhi’s decision to run the London Marathon without a tampon. Her reasoning made sense: it would have been uncomfortable to run with a tampon in, and she could use the opportunity to raise awareness about women without access to sanitary care and fight the stigma against menstruation. That said, I […]

Don’t you let anybody shame you about your makeup and/or appreciation of it: according to a study for CVS by psychologist Dr. Vivian Diller, having a beauty routine can save your life. (Gasp.) “Activities that allow us to take care of our personal beauty needs should not be viewed as ‘guilty pleasures,’” Diller explained. “These acts may […]

We take it back: love is real, it is fuelling us, we believe in it, and please stop reading anything I wrote in the wake of Gwen and Gavin’s divorce announcement earlier this week. (I was sad, and wanted us all to suffer.) So what’s with the change of heart? A side order of this: […]

Last week the Canadian government announced that it intends to ban microbeads from personal care products because they’re polluting the Great Lakes. What are microbeads? Tiny spheres of plastic collect toxins from our skin and teeth, granted. But they also collect toxins from everywhere else, as they’re flushed through the sewage system and added to […]

Everything is the worst, and the summer is ruined, and everybody pack up your stuff and get out of my house because love is dead, and we all know it. Why? Because Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are divorcing, and the only thing I can do to feel any sort of control in this endlessly-spiraling […]

As anyone who has watched one episode of Sex and the City would know, the Birkin bag is the ultimate status symbol. The Hermès signature is usually associated with a hefty price tag and a years-long waiting list, but this week, it became associated something much more serious. “Having been alerted to the cruel practices […]

This autumn, we’ll have the option of dressing like boys again. If you do (and we’ve all been there), you’ll mention “tomboy” along the same names we’ve been bringing up since 2013. Names like Ruby Rose, Kendall Jenner, and anybody in high tops have religiously evoked the playful and androgynous spirit reserved for “relaxed” and/or […]
