Now the ombre lip has turned inside out and we've got the new and improved gradient lip! Darker on the inside and paler on the outside with a glossy finish.

I thought so - It's a popular Korean trend!...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast week we asked you the super tough question of Team Skincare or Team Makeup and we received a ton of wonderful comments from you lovely chicks! Many of you sided with me and were pro skincare! Here's how I see it (and let me know if you agree), but beauty starts with your skin. If you don't have great skin, makeup will cover but not enhance your looks. In the spirit of Skincare, this week I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI don't know a whole lot about superheroes or any sort of comic book-esque related type thing. I guess that sentence is pretty convincing evidence in itself. Growing up, I was never really introduced to them, so to this day they still elude me. In fact, the only way you can convince me to watch anything Superhero related is if there is some story beyond explosions and fighting, if the hero happens...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou know when you cook this incredibly beautiful meal for someone and they sit down and they just look and nibble at it like a bird and you're all like, 'I JUST PUT MY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS, EAT IT'? Well, this Halloween, you can finally say that literally because these cocktails and food options are both deliciously tasty yet look totally disgusting. Ranging from bloody cakes (um...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIs it just me or is everyone and their grandmother now an Instagrammer?

So, introducing CA's new Instagram account - where we'll post behind the scenes pics, sneak peeks of new products, photos from events and of course, some gratuitous goofy...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSo, maybe you're a Halloween fanatic. You just LIVE for the day. Or perhaps your idea of the perfect Halloween is sitting at home, watching Hocus Pocus or Scream with a bowl of mini chocolate bars all to yourself (FYI, if this is the case, I totally support you). If I perfectly described you in the first sentence, and you want to kick up your Halloween spirit EVEN more, may I suggest nail art?...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am not a loyal beauty buyer. I love trying new things, so I rarely purchase the same product twice - except when it comes to blush. Since I purchased my first Tarte Amazon Clay Long Wear Blush way back when, I haven't moved to anything else. Even if I test out something new, the next day I am back to my ol' Tarte blush.
However, I was recently given a Too Faced blush and oh my, I gotta say,...

Well, with only a few bucks in your pocket, you need to decide what to do: do you spend your cash on some great makeup or excellent skin care? I...

It's the perfect holiday for a gal like me who loves anything sweet and loves to play dress up. I also love a good Halloween party. It's the perfect occasion to bust out creepy knick knacks, bugs, skulls and anything black. So. Much. Fun. It's basically like...
