This post is from Cinnamon Kitten. Who knew Boots was in Canada now? Read on...

When I heard that Boots' No7 line of cosmetics was going to be available in Canada (exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart) I was pretty excited. For those who aren't familiar with Boots, it's a great pharmacy/cosmetics store, similar to Shoppers Drug Mart that I discovered when I was in London last year.

See? We told you. Another study with new health benefits from drinking coffee. We wonder if any of the poor mice involved in this study suffer like we do. Interesting information anyway. This one's from WebMD...

A new study shows the combination of caffeine and regular exercise appears to help kill some of the precancerous cells damaged by the sun's ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation.

This lipgloss review is from GirlPaint. Sounds so great, we may have to try it!

I have to mention my experience with a new lip gloss. I'm a lip gloss fanatic (I won't say 'junkie' just because I don't endlessly apply, I'm just obsessed with the stuff, k?).

I got a tube (or cube is more accurate) of Rimmel's Light Beam gloss, and I LOVE it! The packaging is...

2 nights ago I had a dream about Leonardo DiCaprio. Nothing raunchy, we were just chillin' ;) The next morning, I told Alex about it over breakfast. He laughed at me and said, "Oh, he's not your type."

Riiiiight!

Today, no joke in my personal email I received an email from "Leonardo DiCaprio". I assumed it was spam but opened it anyway just because I thought it was a funny coincidence. It...

Ok, we still think Faith Hill looks just as amazing without the photoshop, but as Christina from ebeauty daily (the author of this article) points out, photoshop is the secret ingredient for all celebrities.

Check out this shot of Faith Hill on Redbook's cover this month - and then check out the original shot. Not that Faith isn't a beautiful woman - she absolutely is - but no amount...

This is a great article we found on Girlpaint's blog. Read up for some great advice!

In the world of skin care, prices over $100 for a little jar of cream are not uncommon, particularly if a product claims to reduce the signs of aging. If a person buys a few such products each month, the annual cost may be equivalent to a trip to Hawaii.

As it turns out, you can often get the same (or...

This is from The Amateur Gourmet. We find this hysterical because being fellow coffee snobs, we have encountered this same horror. Put the milk in BEFORE the espresso, Fools!
...

The man didn't know what he was doing. I was at a Brooklyn coffee shop whose name is synonymous with donkey and I ordered an iced latte. The man (I'd call him a barista, but he clearly wasn't) took a glass...

This post is from ChickAdvisor blogger, Lipstick, Powder 'n Paint. What will they think up next??

I recently saw this advertisement for Revlon's Lash Jewels. At first glance, I thought the ad was for some exotic fake lashes but no, this product adds a little crystal-like jewel to your lashes.

Wouldn't this be fun for a night of clubbing or perfect for a Christmas event - like...
