Experiments in Makeup has good news for Vancouverite Stila aficionados...
Stila was recently discontinued at Holt Renfrew which spelt bad news for us in Vancouver since we had not real accessible way to get it, save for Sephora online (no local Sephora sorry!) or going across the border to the US. However, luckily for us Vancouverites, BeautyMark has picked up the brand and it's now...

I *heart* Makeup has some advice for wearing the trendy but tricky smokin' red lipstick...
Vinyl lacquered red lips work wonders on the runway and during photo shoots, but they're a challenge for the rest of us to pull off. To look sexy but not sexpot, tame the shine like Kareena Kapoor without muting it entirely.
Contrary to legend, there is a red lipstick for everyone...

A cheap solution to an embarrassing problem, from ChickAdvisor member and blogger Almost Arianne...
I'm gonna be totally honest here. I have back acne. It's annoying, itchy, and needless to say, embarrassing. It started around the time when I bought myself a workout bra. I think its fabric is not breathable.
I tried exfoliating, but all to no avail. Then I came across Karen's...

Another good one from Beauty of Life...
Some people don't like beauty products that smell like food. My friend Susan, for example, thinks that products scented like vanilla or chocolate just smell too darn good and she'll get hungry using them in the shower.
This beauty chick is not of that mindset at all. The more decadent and dessert-like it is, the more I want it in my shower....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor the bride to be, there is a lot of pressure to succumb to the "bride of today" look. For some inexplicable reason, once the ring is on the finger we find ourselves compelled to buy the ubiquitous strapless gown, zigzag part our hair, plop a load of hard crunchy curls on top of our heads and buy that sparkly dangly matchy earrings and necklace set we know we will never ever wear again. And we...

Another fun read and delicious recipe from Chez Pim...
It's actually just a Gai Yang, or Thai grilled chicken. But it does look mildly obscene, don't you agree? The poor innocent chicken, stripped bare and spread out in a rather immodest position for all the world to see. It's also quite immoderately delicious, and inordinately easy to do.
