Hello everyone! I was recently offered the opportunity to choose a pair of eyeglasses from GlassesShop.com to try out and review.   I�ve always wondered how  ordering glasses online  would compare to the ones offered at the ophthalmologist�s office, so I jumped at the opportunity.  GlassesShop.com offers  prescription glasses  and prescription sunglasses  for much cheaper prices than those offered at the ophthalmologist�s.   As far as selection, GlassesShop.com can�t be beaten.  They offer a wide selection of styles and colours .   If you do not  need prescription glasses and want to wear glasses as a fashion  accessory ,  you can also buy many pairs without prescription lenses.   The site also offers a tool that   allows  you to virtually try on glasses by uploading your photo.  It�s a great option for someone unsure of what shape would look best on them.   I chose the  GrandPra...

Hello everyone! So it's already January 20th and this is my first post in 2016.  My year started with a lot of internet connection problems, but hopefully that issue is resol ved ( fingers crossed) .   So let's get started!  From mid-length haircuts  to no-light gel nail polishes  ( which  I  ?) , 2015 brought us a lot of beauty trends, but there are a few trends that I think should be left behind.  Check out the six beauty trends to ditch in 2016:  Instagram eyebrows -  The Instagram brow or the  faded eyebrow, is very popular among MUAs because it photographs well, but in person, it is very odd-looking. Heavy contour:  Contouring has been around for years but it reached new heights in 2015 with techniques like clown contouring .   Waist trainers:   While many believe that wearing a waist trainer will help them get an hour glass shape, the results are only temporary and can cause some health problems.  Overdrawn...

Hello everyone! Choosing  bridesmaid dresses  is a crucial yet stressful part of every wedding.  What looks great on one of your bridesmaid might not work for the other ladies.  Instead of stressing out about finding one dress and shade that will fit everyone, why not let them all look a little different?   Bridesmaid style has come a long way in the last few years.  Gone are the days of everyone wearing the same dress.  More and more brides are letting their bridesmaids choose their own dresses because they want their maids to feel good about what they're wearing .  And it's a fact of life that not everyone has an identical body type.  Today, brides are mixing it up by having bridesmaids wear dresses with different styles, fabrics, and colours that make it way more interesting and fun.  This trend highlights each individual woman's style and ensure she is wearing a dress that makes her feel g...

Hello everyone! For those who don't like contouring and those who never quite figured out how to contour, meet " strobing".   B asically strobing is an  "anti-contouring" technique .   Strobing uses highlighter to bring out your features and helps you achieve a dewy and neutral look.  This technique  uses light to shape your face rather than contouring which primarily uses shadows.   Typically we pair highlighting with contouring but highlight is quite beautiful on its own, especially in the summer months.  How to get the look: With strobing, you simply apply a generous amount of highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes, under your brow bones, the tops of your cheekbones, your temples, your Cupid�s bow, the bridge of your nose and anywhere the light naturally hits your face and then blend .  The key is to find a liquid or powder highlighter that compliments your skin tone. Do you prefer strobing over highlighting and counturing? ...

Hello everyone! Long wearing nail polishes are a huge trend right now, may that be gel polishes with or   without the use of LED or UV lamps .  And that's precisely what   Essence   brought on the market.  I am a little obsessed with new   Essence "the gel nail polish"  trio lately.  I own 3 shades already, and out of my three this one is definitely my favourite (at the moment).  I am wearing   09 #lucky   and I can honestly say that in combination with base and top coat, the gel polish stays longer on my nails than any other polish. First I applied one coat of   base coat , which dries really quickly, and has a matte finish.  Then I applied one coat of   #lucky   and followed with a coat of   top coat .  That's all;  the nails are given an extreme, long-lasting gel-shine finish without the need for an LED or UV lamp.   The top coat gives that gel-l...

Hello everyone! In an effort to stay eternally youthful, most women usually touch-up their roots every time they spot a few silver strands peeking out.  Now, there�s a  beauty (and Instagram ) trend popping up; granny hair.  This new trend is provoking conversation about blurring the lines between ageing and greying . Jean Paul Gaultier introduced granny hair into fashion back in 2011.  A year later Kelly Osbourne and Kate Moss both sported silver locks and since then everyone from Lady Gaga to Kylie Jenner has been experimenting with this look. Jean Paul Gaultier - Autumn/Winter 2011 Here's a glimpse of what #GrannyHair on Instagram looks like: A photo posted by @candynice90 on Mar 30, 2015 at 11:15am PDT A photo posted by Angel of Colour (@angel_of_colour) on Mar 30, 2015 at 4:21pm PD  30, 2015 at 4: A photo posted by Tutu Dieu (@minitutu) on Mar 30, 2015 at 1:49pm PDT A photo posted by T...

Hello everyone! Have you seen the latest   Wonderland   cover yet?  Everyone is talking about Taylor's eyebrows.  She went for a totally different look on the cover of  Wonderland   magazine (Nov-Dec issue) , rocking darker, bolder brows.  It�s kind of amazing how eyebrows can change a person�s entire appearance.  Sure, Taylor's skin looks way tanner than her natural fair skin-tone but, it�s really her dark, bold brows that completely transform her face.   Overall, it�s a big change for Taylor, who usually has fair eyebrows, like she sported on the cover of  British Vogue  magazine (November issue) .   What do you think of Taylor Swift�s look?  Are you a fan?   I just LOVE bold brows.   Share your thoughts below!
