We start off our morning by arriving at our photographer Adam's studio (and admiring his "shoe ladder"!), unpacking everything that needs to be photographed and check over our shot list. Oh, and of course by running over to Time Horton's, which is dangerously close by! And then it's down to business!

And of course, we...

We take concealer very seriously around here, and we're happy to report that we have finally found our number one favourite, hands down! This relatively new concealer from Nars is creamy and never creases but it covers everything from dark circles, pesky pimples and anything else under the sun.

Below, find out what inspired Jessie Randall this fall. The iconic image of Rosie The Riveter and the qualities that her persona embodies - a strong, capable and beautiful woman in the modern work force - inspired the Fall 2013 collection. A revival of traditionally masculine, structured styles can be seen in the new creeper silhouettes, Beatriz and Calla. The concept of industrial welding is captured in several iterations, from leather dot appliques to leather covered studs and metal-flecked suede. The...

If you haven't heard of the YouTube makeup sensation PixiWoo then consider this your introduction! These sisters, Nic and Samantha Chapman are both professional makeup artists and watching their beauty tutorials and product reviews are just as entertaining as they are informative.

Some brushes are sold individually (priced between $6 and $10) and some are sold as sets such as the Core Collection (for face), Starter Set (for eyes), and the...
