Wouldn’t it be great to be in Cannes right now? I could totes squeeze in some yacht time in between red carpet galas and photo shoots. This is what celebs like Diane Kruger, Naomi Watts and Sal...
Summer’s right around the corner—and it just wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory sun warnings and sunscreen reminders. Now listen, before you all moan and groan over the ‘SPF-is-y...
Pre-beauty editor era, one of my favourite activities used to be late-night trips to Shoppers Drug Mart to troll the aisles of the makeup section (where I’d inevitably scoop up a dozen or so sw...
The Oscars red carpet may get more press, but it’s the Met Ball one that actually REALLY matters. I’m talking about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala benefit, ...
Most days, when I walk around my neighbourhood lately, I can count at least five or ten girls wearing red, yellow or mint-green jeans. (Which is why I may pass on this trend, but we’ll see.) I&...
Remember when fashion had rules? Like no white after Labour Day, and not mixing your metals, and having to match your shoes with your handbag? Then all of that went out the window—VERY out the window...
My face is, like, SO dewy today. That’s because I started off my morning with a facial at the International Dermal Institute—a.k.a. the place where Dermalogica skin therapists go to train, and ...
It’s a beauty paradox. Out of all the categories of upkeep—hair, nails, makeup, etc.—it’s no secret that I think SKIN is by far the most important. And yet, skincare products are next to ...
Oh right, it’s Earth Month, isn’t it? I used to be so into my organic beauty prodz… but then vanity took over and I realized that wrinkle prevention was a higher priority than chemi...
So the weather outside may be frightful. (Did anyone leave the house last night? OMG, I nearly caught hypothermia on the way home.) But that doesn’t change the fact that next week we’ll b...
Wowza! Have you noticed how many celebs have changed up their hair lately? Mostly colour, but also—in the case of Anne Hathaway—cut. (But maybe that one doesn’t count as much, since it’s ...
Fact: meeting celebrity hairdressers and makeup artists is usually more exciting (at least for beauty editors) than meeting the actual celebrities themselves. I know this is hard to believe and yes, ...
What would I do without all the men in my life? I have this guy and this guy and this guy… and now, the newest member of the team, this guy. I like to call him Trainer George. And basically, I ...
SPONSORED: We whipped our hair back and forth! Seriously, we did. Thanks, Willow Smith, for the inspiration—and thank you Pantene for the ultimate in weightless hair products. Let me explain. Last we...
Spring technically arrived on March 20th, but to me it never feels official until Easter weekend. And now, let’s face it: the beauty work begins. Not only is it time to re-dedicate ourselves to...
SPONSORED: I’ve already over-shared about how attending beauty events is kinda sorta the best part of a beauty editor’s job description. (But I still love to write! No, really.) But if yo...
So a classic Daily Mail piece ran the other day—and I’m still not sure whether it’s legit or if we all got punk’d. The writer, one 41-year-old Samantha Brick, insists that her ̶...
One “opportunity” that working in this industry frequently offers is the chance to have your very own hair/skin/nails/other body parts judged by whichever so-called beauty expert happens ...
Last night, the Academy of Country Music gave out some awards. No, I didn’t watch—frankly, I wasn’t even going to cover it on here until I saw the pics. And then I knew we had to talk. Ma...
Remember how I told you guys that I won’t let just anyone do my makeup? Pretty early on in my beauty editor career—after having one too many keener makeup artists attempt to “show me̶...

I always say that if this job ended tomorrow, and the constant stream of beauty product deliveries came to a halt, I’d be pretty much fine with shopping at the drugstore—save for a few key item...
So I went out for drinks last night. Oh wait—Trainer George, if you are reading this, NO OF COURSE I DON’T DRINK. Anyway, I was waiting in line at one of Toronto’s finest hotspots with an...

Even though I’m more of a single-serving makeup kind of girl, there’s something about a pretty palette that makes me swoon. But it’s not just their obvious cuteness that gets me. I ...
While my own beauty choices are becoming increasingly (maybe even disturbingly, considering my line of work) classic and boring (I guess that’s what 6+ years in this industry will do to you), I...

Can I talk about nail art (a.k.a. “nart”) even if I don’t wear it myself? Because just like I can appreciate the artistry behind a fine Hèrmes fragrance—yet stick to my tacky J.Lo G...
Well gosh—New York Fashion Week has come and gone, did you even realize? I’m going to blame my tardy coverage on the Grammys, Valentine’s Day, and then a killer magazine deadline this wee...
