The Best of NYFW Fall 2013 Beauty Trends

New York Fashion Week has once again come and gone in a whirlwind and left us with a heck of a lot of exhausted models and a ton of gorgeous beauty trends to inspire us. 

In fact, so many gorgeous trends that to go through every single one would probably leave us with a strong desire to never look at another eyeliner again. And that would be a shame (though maybe not for our wallets). So...

Retro Hair with Martin Lim and Vidal Sassoon at Montreal Fashion Week

I have a soft spot for 90's nostalgia, so when I heard that the iconic 90's hair styling company Vidal Sassoon was revamping and relaunching its classic line of haircare from the 90's, I was excited to get my Cher from Clueless hair flip on. 


Lucky for me, Vidal Sassoon was happy to let me check out their new collection. Plus, they showed me how they used the products to create a...

The beauty world is way too awesome right now! So much so, that I want to make a beeline for the nearest beauty counter and snap up one of everything. Tell me I'm not the only one who gets a secret thrill from seeing new beauty products just waiting to be tried out? Oh! Sends a shiver up my spine just thinking about it. 

To get you going, I have 5...

Review of the Week: Hair Colour (February 4-10)

Whenever I get into a beauty slump, the solution to get me out is to colour my hair. It might sound a bit odd, but there's something about new hair that puts me in a good mood. It's like seeing the world in a fresh new way. 

I recently changed from my subtle light brown highlights to a burgundy ombre and a week later, I went back to black! I love changing up my colour, but finding the...

Dry and Damaged Hair Care Routine

About five years ago, on an idiotic whim, I let my inexperienced friend cut my long hair to about chin length. Since then, my hair has been on a downward spiral. After numerous dye jobs and bleaching blunders, my hair has become a straw like consistency and it is in rough shape, in all manners of the word. Since this bitterly cold weather has hit us, my hair has become even drier and more damaged...

Hair How-To: Jennifer Lawrence's Boho Braided Updo

I have some super important news. Here it is: I am fairly certain that Jennifer Lawrence is my spirit animal. She makes amazing reaction faces, she's adorably cute and she knows how to prioritize (food above all else, my friend). There's also the fact that I covet her hair. Whether she's brunette or blonde, her long locks are always gorgeous. 

At the recent Golden Globes,...

Top 5 Celebrity Hair Makeovers of 2012

Oh 2012, you were indeed good to us. Not only did you provide some seriously sexy eye candy, but you also gave us the unexpected news of a Kimye baby at the very last minute. Those scrumptious delights (hello, Magic Mike anyone?) and baby madness aside, 2012 was also the year of drastic celeb hair makeovers. Celebrities were switching colours, chopping it all off or changing it up to suit...

My New Year 2013 Beauty Resolution: a confessional

My name is Claire, and for 2013 I resolve to Stop Cutting My Own Hair.

Some people experiment for fun while others rebel with punkish pique against personal and societal expectations.  For years my excuse was that the mister and I were broke students living off of love and Ramen noodles. 

That was a long time ago, and yet I still occasionally feel the urge to trim a little of this or chop...

5 Effortlessly Easy Chic Holiday Hairstyles

I dream of the day that I can pull a Katniss Everdeen style intricate braid on myself, but chances are, I'm going to be dreaming for a long time. While these crazy braids and detailed styles are awe-inspiring, they're also (like, really, really) hard. Let's get real: I am not going to attempt to do that. 

I'm a big fan of anything easy but at the same time, I still want to look...
