I don’t know about you, but as the weather turns cooler I find myself wanting to dip my tips into slightly deeper, more tonal nail polish shades. In recent weeks I’ve turned to rich berry, deep charcoal and sandy, taupe-like hues, whereas if you talk to say, my sister, she’s doing everything she can to… more

Wed, 6 February 2013 12:30PM
Yesterday, we oohed and ahhed over Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain’s pretty-in-pink looks for the Academy Awards Nominations Luncheon.

So much for those new year’s resolutions … I always start every year with a bunch of them: I will go to the gym more, I will bring a packed lunch to work four days out of the week, I will not bite my nails… the list goes on. Needless to say most of them… more

Reason #1: There’s a shade for everyone and every possible use. Angel Mist is a pretty pinky-pearl that just begs to be dappled onto the cheekbones, under browbones, and along the collarbones. Or it can simply add an ethereal all-over glow to lighter skintones. Angel Blush is a divine shade of champagne perfect for mixing into foundation… more

Face of Australia’s Scrumptious Lip Crayons
Thu, 6 September 2012 11:34AM
Not since Montessori has a crayon caused me such excitement. When some snotty nosed, dungaree clad kid broke the Cerise Crayola and flushed it down the loo, flushing all my creative hopes and dreams with it. Oh, what could have been….

Confessions of a (Budget) Shopaholic
Sat, 14 July 2012 2:27PM
Do you remember that scene in Confessions of a Shopaholic where Rebecca describes why she loves shopping? “You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast?
