When it comes to artificially enhanced blonde hair, nothing looks (or feels) better than when it’s freshly coloured. A good blonde colour service will leave your hair looking bright, multi-dimension and without a trace of brassiness. But six weeks later…that’s another story. Blonde hair—especially dyed blonde hair—is high maintenance. Not only do you need to

Like Seamless and Amazon Prime, beauty brands are making it so you never have to leave your house again. See: at-home peels, which promise spa facial-like results, no appointment required. “At-home peels come in a variety of forms that range from the agents used to the application methods,” says Ava Shamban, a Beverly Hills celebrity

Never sacrifice comfort for style again with these guidelines Comfort is key when it comes to fashion right now, and there is nothing more uncomfortable than an ill-fitting bra. And as it turns out, most of us are wearing the wrong size without even realizing it. For plus-size women, it can often be even more

Times are rough, people! And frankly, so is my skin. Ever since the world stopped and stay-at-home orders were enforced, my face has been hit with stress-induced breakouts. At first, I tried to think positively. At least my skin will get better. Sadly, this ended up not being true. On a good day, my skin

Here are the precautions the mega beauty retailer is taking to keep customers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic As Canada begins easing some of the restrictions that were put in place due to COVID-19 earlier this spring, many businesses are slowly starting to reopen. As of tomorrow, May 22, this includes select Sephora Canada stores

Newsflash: Press-on nails are awesome. Like nail art itself, they’ve long been beloved—and popularized—by trendsetting Black women, and more recently they have become a beauty secret-weapon for red carpet events by celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Cynthia Erivo. But they don’t have to be just for special events: Wearing press-on nails IRL is

We’re now *deep* into quarantine, which means you’ve probably perfected your WFH outfit. And with most people spending much more time inside due to COVID-19, it’s inevitable that there’d be a shift in what we wear (because honestly, who wants to wear jeans inside?). Maybe your WFH fit consists of a cozy-yet-chic sweatsuit. Perhaps it’s

Talia Ali / EyeEmGetty Images First things first, freckles are normal. Along with hair makeovers and baby bumps, the barefaced freckle reveal has become an Instagram moment. Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner, and Bella Hadid have all shared theirs to fanfare. Kesha even used her reveal to send a message of self-love in the

I knew I could no longer deny it when my aunt peered into my face and said “Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Those little orange lines?” One year post microblading and my brows are ruined. Under my actual hairs, which are naturally brown and fluffy, I now have these ghastly orange shadowbrows. What

Finding the perfect foundation, BB cream, CC cream, lipstick, and every beauty product in between can be tricky. It all comes down to color. What’s your skin tone, but more importantly, what’s your undertone? “Undertone is the shade within your skin color,” explains Robert Sesnek, a celebrity makeup artist for Catrice Cosmetics who works with

I’d wager that pretty much no one expected the summer of 2020 to be spent mostly indoors, but just because we’ll likely be hunkered down for much of the warmer season because of the COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t mean we can’t be heckin’ cute and cozy doing it. The sweatsuit inarguably became the go-to WFH uniform

Wearing these made-in-Canada masks can reduce the spread of infectious respiratory droplets and will support organizations that need our help There’s been a lot of debate about whether wearing face masks can help slow the COVID-19 outbreak. Canadian hospitals continue to face shortages of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and many are asking the public for

When you want that natural, your-skin-but-better kind of coverage Because most of us are spending the majority of our time indoors, many of us have renounced foundation in favour of lighter coverage. (Full face of makeup? Don’t know her.) Plus, with the weather *finally* warming up, there couldn’t be a better time to consider the

A little knowledge is dangerous, but Plandemic, a twenty-six minute film that gets almost everything wrong about coronavirus and how to protect yourself, may be deadly. Plandemic, a documentary which features an interview with Dr. Judy Mikovits, a scientist previously best known for having a scientific article on chronic fatigue syndrome retracted in 2011, was

Whether you’re mourning a cancelled vacation, physical-distancing from your makeup bag or simply embracing hermit life to its fullest (blame Netflix), it’s safe to say that most of us are missing our usual pre-summer glow-up. Though nothing can fill in for those would-be Amalfi coast Insta Stories, you can lean on self-tanner for a little

Natanya Montgomery has a confession to make: “I must’ve missed the invitation to secret Black-girl braiding class when I was younger because I never learned how to cornrow or braid hair.” It’s a sentiment Montgomery, founder of San Francisco-based hair salon Naza Beauty, and many Black women share. Braiding has always been an essential skill

Real talk: It’s not always easy finding chic plus-size clothing IRL. Way too often, the options are frumpy, cheaply made or look like they came straight out of a time capsule from the 1980s (and not in a good way). But, there are *tons* of retailers that are finally coming around to the idea that women

We’re nearing two months of staying home but for most of us, the work hasn’t stopped. On today’s episode of Waking Up With, we virtually visit Olympic superstar Adam Rippon as he walks us through the nine products he uses to get ready for a WFH day full of calls. Tune in to see how

Sometimes the best strengthening and conditioning masks for your hair aren’t found in the sprawling hair aisles of Target or your local beauty supply store—they can be created right in your kitchen. Now, I’m no licensed trichologist, but with all the concoctions I’ve whipped up in my kitchen to treat all my hair woes (from

Acne has been one of the predominant skin care issues to flare up in the last two months, and it’s showing up in multiple forms. While those deep stress-induced breakouts are plentiful, there’s also an uptick in a type of acne we’ll call maskne. You can identify maskne pimples as tiny little whiteheads that pop

Summer is almost here and the season calls for tank tops, short shorts, and summer dresses. However, for most of us, booking our next in-salon waxing appointment is not a possibility right now. The good news is that at-home waxing kits have evolved to be easier and more user-friendly than ever. The problem is…where do

Because now is the time for soothing comfort, right down to our lips As a lifelong lip gloss devotee, I love nothing more than a coat of shiny gloss. Sure, I flirt with tomato red lipsticks and matte crimson lip crayons, collecting dupes like a madwoman searching for the perfect shade of red, but I
