However, a lot of my knowledge has come from my own trials and tribulations with acne.  You would be surprised how enlightening being a personal guinea pig for a plethora of products and treatments can be.  But I also think being a beauty insider means that you not only have knowledge but [also] divulge precious little beauty secrets.  Holistic beauty education is really important to me, and was what inspired me to write <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=1641&amp;category_id=257&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27#Excerpt" target="_blank"><em>Beauty: Pure + Simple</em></a>, which was recently published by McArthur and Co. <strong><em>[Ed''s note: Kristen also writes a beauty blog, <a href="http://holisticvanity.ca/" target="_blank">Holistic Vanity</a>, which is a must-read if you''re interested in holistic beauty.]</em></strong>\n\n<strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/rachel-mcadams.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8229" title="rachel-mcadams" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/rachel-mcadams-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Beauty Icon </strong>I really like <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/natalie-portman/">Natalie Portman</a>.  She''s a vegetarian. She''s talented and makes interesting decisions.  I also deeply respect <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/rachel-mcadams/">Rachel McAdams</a>.  I have done her facial before, and not only is she very beautiful in person, but she also insisted on bicycling to the spa in the name of being environmentally responsible.  I think that being beautiful is also about consciousness—not only picture-perfect features. That''s just boring.  True beauty often radiates from people through their actions.\n\n<strong>Top Five Beauty Products </strong> 1. I do not go anywhere without my <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=&amp;category_id=585&amp;product_id=1644&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Pure + Simple Organic Rosehip Face Oil</a>.  It''s amazingly restorative and excellent for sun damage. 2. <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=374&amp;category_id=713&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Jane Iredale Black Plus Cream Eye Shadow</a>. It is great for smoky eyes without making you look powdery.  I also use a tiny amount on a brush to fill in my brows, because nothing is more important than great eyebrows. 3. My only unnatural indulgence is <a href="http://www.blincinc.com/mascara.php" target="_blank">Kiss Me Mascara</a>. I am so no-fuss that the easy removal of this mascara is a must-have. 4. <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=762&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27&amp;vmcchk=1&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Pure + Simple Flawless Complexion</a>.  This is a sheer liquid mineral foundation.  It evens out your skin tone and gives you a great dewy finish. 5. Of course, a good natural sun block.  I currently use the <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=1537&amp;category_id=674&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27&amp;vmcchk=1&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Anti-Aging SPF 30 by Pure + Simple</a>.  Sun is the most damaging thing for our skin—an SPF should be an essential for everyone.\n\n<strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/flawless-complexion-pure+simple.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8234" title="flawless-complexion-pure+simple" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/flawless-complexion-pure+simple-300x247.png" alt="" width="300" height="247" /></a>Beauty Splurge</strong> You need to splurge on a good moisturizer.  It''s what feeds your skin as well as your protective barrier.  It''s on your skin all-day, so you want something of quality.\n\n<strong>Beauty Bargain</strong> Accessory items like exfoliants, which are not on your skin for long. Or just use something in your kitchen like baking soda.\n\n<strong>First Fragrance</strong> My mother was always into natural beauty, so even the first fragrance I wore had to be pure.  It was an organic, oil-based roll-on that was a blend of rose and citrus essential oils.\n\n<strong>Current Fragrance</strong> I use an organic perfume from a French line called <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=433&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Maedy''s</a>.  Unlike other natural perfumes, even the base is made from organic plant-derived alcohol.  I have a few, but my favorite is the <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=1240&amp;category_id=433&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Vetiver</a> (I love citrusy smells).\n\n<strong>Weird Beauty Habit</strong> LOL—I actually used Shatavari Ghee on my chest at night for bust firming.  It''s clarified butter that has been infused with rejuvenating Ayurvedic herbs.  It really works—and while it''s embarrassing to admit it—I swear by the stuff.  You just have to get over smelling like a snack bar at the movie theatre.\n\n<strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/pure+simple-rosehip-oil.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium  wp-image-8232" title="pure+simple-rosehip-oil" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/pure+simple-rosehip-oil-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></strong><strong>Biggest Beauty Fa</strong><strong>il</strong> LOL...I totally shouldn''t tell you this...  I did an IPL hair removal on my bikini right before taking my mother to the Korean Body Scrub Spa for her birthday.  I really wanted to fit the IPL into my schedule but promised my mom I would take her. Well, after any type of light therapy or laser you should never do anything heating.  Saunas, hot tubs, steam, etc.  Well, the Korean Body Scrub process involves all of the above.  My bikini area was bright red for over a week and I was afraid I would scar.  Thank God for Rosehip oil. [It was] such a ridiculous thing to do.  Definitely a failure because I know better.  It''s just so tempting to try to get everything done and off the weekly list. The worst is, even right after the IPL treatment, I was rushing it so much I told my IPL practitioner to skip the post-treatment cooling phase.  I was like: "I''ll be fine—late for a meeting!" and jumped off the bed.\n\n<strong>Beauty Pet Peeve</strong> I cringe when I see unkempt eye brows.\n\n<strong>Best Beauty Secret </strong>Use facial oils.  Forget what you may think about oils making you break out or [look] greasy.  If you get a good quality vegetable oil, your skin will thank you.  I even found that our <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=1005&amp;category_id=555&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Pure + Simple Pure Skin Face Oil</a> clears up your complexion and regulates overactive sebaceous glands.\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Beauty Career Advice</strong> Make sure you take time to ground, relax and restore your body despite how much you want to accomplish.  You can''t promote a concept of beauty when you''re running yourself ragged.  Plus, you risk burning out.  Trust me, I learned the hard way.\n\nMake sure you check out Pure + Simple if you''re in the Toronto area (or visit it online), along with Kristen''s book and blog!

If you''re more concerned about one particular area of fat, like your belly, you''d be better off going with something like <a href="http://www.velashape.com/" target="_blank">VelaShape</a>, which is more targeted (but also more painful—Zerona isn''t supposed to hurt at all).</li>\n	<li><strong>You''ll lose PURE FAT.</strong> Sounds good, right? Most people, when they lose weight, will initially lose water. With Zerona, we''re talking about losing three to four pounds of fat only. Hurray!</li>\n	<li>For best results, <strong>you should take a supplement called Curva</strong>, which helps the fat flush itself out of your system. (It''s basically a high dose of niacin, which is totally safe, but may cause a bit of flushing for a few minutes after you take it—just FYI.) Curva is included in the treatment package, so they''ll give you a bottle at your first appointment, and you should start taking it about a week before your treatments start. Note: Curva is optional—it''s got fish oil in it so it''s not suitable for vegans.</li>\n	<li>During the two-week treatment period, you also need to <strong>avoid alcohol and fatty foods (sorry) and drink eight glasses of water a day</strong>. Also try to get regular exercise—at least two 30-minute sessions per week.</li>\n	<li><strong>Each treatment session is 40 minutes</strong>: 20 minutes on your front and 20 minutes on your back. You can talk on the phone, work on your laptop, read or just relax during the sessions. SpaMedica recommends maintenance sessions of Zerona twice a year.</li>\n</ul>\nAfter I got the rundown,  it was time for photos—and the dreaded thong! I had to don it in this room:\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-room.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8251" title="zerona-treatment-room" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-room.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nAnd that''s where they take photographs of you wearing it (just showing your body from neck to knees). I won''t lie—it''s pretty traumatic, although it''s just you and the medical esthetician in the room, and she''s very discreet. But they''ve gotta do it—they take photos at the beginning and then when you finish all the treatments—so you can see the difference.\n\nAfter that, you get your measurements taken VERY thoroughly from neck to knees. Also a bit ego-crushing, but they do this at the start, mid-way through and at the end.\n\nSo next week I start the actual fat-burning. Stay tuned for the play by play!', 'My review of Zerona: The pre-treatment photos, measurements... and paper panties!', '<em><strong>UPDATE</strong>: I’ve concluded that this procedure does not work—my feeling is that any weight loss that people experience comes from the supplement, Curva (NOT the Zerona sessions themselves).

(My Twitter handle is <a href="http://twitter.com/Beauty_Editor" target="_blank">@Beauty_Editor</a>, by the way, in case you want to ask Twestions of your own.) No, Fran also asked this of two other, very smart beauty editors (both of whom you should also follow).

But I''m going to expand on this a bit more, since (a) I have room here and (b) I like to be servicey.\n\nSo let''s talk about sunscreen first. Absolutely, it''s the number one thing you can do at any age—but especially when you''re only 24—to prevent premature aging. (Don''t believe me? Take a gander at <a href="http://www.skinsight.com/diseaseGroups/sunDamage.htm" target="_blank">these here photos</a>.)\n\nI''m a huge fan of <strong>physical block-type sunscreens</strong>: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The chemical load is less and they''re great for sensitive or acne-prone skin (for some people, the ingredients in regular sunscreens can be irritating or cause breakouts). <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/22/editors-picks-my-top-10-natural-and-organic-beauty-products/">As I mentioned here</a>, my favourite one in the world is <a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;product_id=1543&amp;category_id=673&amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Pure + Simple''s All Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 for Oily/Impure Skin</a>; it also comes in Sensitive and Anti-Aging formulas.\n\nYou can also look for <strong>moisturizers with the sunscreen conveniently built-in</strong>. One I''m loving right now is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radiance-SPF-15-Day-Lotion/dp/B001R2S8MC" target="_blank">Burt''s Bees Radiance SPF 15 Day Lotion</a>, which is a great basic moisturizer for any skin type (it also has anti-wrinkle benefits and will make your skin look more luminous). <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P61207&amp;shouldPaginate=true&amp;categoryId=5729" target="_blank">Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration SPF 15</a> is another good one. But really, the key thing for anti-wrinkle protection during the day is to just wear sunscreen of any kind, period.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/skinceuticals-retinol.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8134" title="skinceuticals-retinol" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/skinceuticals-retinol.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="312" /></a>At night, it''s never too early to start using a product from the <strong>retinoid family</strong>—vitamin A derivatives that stimulate collagen production and can, over time, reduce fine lines and sun damage. (They can also help with blemishes and, as I''ve mentioned a few times here, are still the gold standard in anti-aging.) <a href="http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/catalog/correct/Retinol-0.5.htm" target="_blank">SkinCeuticals</a> makes a great retinol product in both 0.5% and 1.0% concentrations—but it''s a bit pricey. I like <a href="http://www.neostrata.ca/" target="_blank">NeoStrata</a>''s anti-aging offerings too, and their <a href="http://www.neostrata.ca/products/-category/anti-wrinkle/anti-wrinkle-night-complex/71/" target="_blank">Anti-Wrinkle Night Complex</a> contains retinol, is for all skin types and is at a lower price point. One more option: <a href="http://dermaglow.ca/enca/nuvage-face/nuvage-anti-aging-therapy" target="_blank">Dermaglow has a line called Nuvage</a>, which is designed for women looking to prevent the first signs of aging. The <a href="http://dermaglow.ca/enca/nuvage-face/nuvage-anti-aging-therapy" target="_blank">Anti-Aging Therapy</a> product doesn''t have retinol, but it does have antioxidants and peptides, which are two other ingredient families to look for.\n\nLast thing: I didn''t mention eye creams because unless you have a super-sensitive eye area, you can just use your regular face cream all over. (And <a href="http://www.cosmeticscop.com/skin-care-facts-eye-creams-treating-eye-area-wrinkles.aspx" target="_blank">Paula Begoun</a> agrees with me.) Sure, an eye cream is nice to have, but it''s not really a necessity—and I think at 24 you want to keep your regimen fairly simple.\n\nAnyone have more tips for Fran? Are you shocked that I just dissed eye cream? Or are you still wondering how a 24-year-old could possibly already be worrying about wrinkles?', 'Twestion time: What&#039;s a good anti-wrinkle cream for a 24-year-old?', 'It''s Twestion Time!

Check out the ad (filmed by<em> National Geographic </em>photographer Eric Valli):</p>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MecP3ArahRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MecP3ArahRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>\n\nThe scent itself is woody and citrusy, but not too much so. If you''re concerned about the unisex factor, don''t be. It never veers too far into masculinity for me—it''s really quite light and fresh. And then when it dries down, it''s very soft; really what you''d call a skin scent, actually. And that''s the great thing about Ellena''s creations: they never overpower and they''re never common. (The notes, if you''re wondering, include angelique, white musk, juniper berry, Australian sandalwood and cedar.)\n\nThe bottle is also worth mentioning, because it has this cool swivel mechanism that reminds me of a USB key. But, of course, it''s MUCH nicer—shiny and silver and utilitarian in an expensive, Hermès way.\n\nPlus, I can''t help but point out the enormous cachet that will instantly be yours when you wear this and people say "Gosh, you smell SO good!"

Which is why, despite possessing an infinite amount of knowledge on hair removal, lip gloss and where to get the best pedicures, it took me until now to start this site. But let me tell you why things will be different around here.<!--more-->\n\nFirst of all, full disclosure: I write about beauty for a living. Most recently, I was the beauty and health editor at <em>ELLE Canada</em>. I’ve also written for <em>FLARE</em>, <em>FASHION</em>, <em>The Globe and Mail</em>, <em>Toronto Life</em>, <em>Chatelaine</em>, <em>Glow</em>, <em>enRoute</em>, <em>Cosmetics</em>, <em>WHERE</em>, <em>Quill &amp; Quire</em> and <em>Wish</em>, and appeared as a guest on <em>Canada AM</em> and <em>Breakfast Television</em>.\n\nSo you could say I’ve picked up a thing or two along the way, thanks to dozens of interviews over the years with dermatologists, hairdressers, makeup artists and fragrance designers. I also test new products and services on a regular basis—which isn’t always glam, by the way. (Some day, I’ll tell you about my near-death experience while having a facial.)\n\nMy goal here is not only to share what I’ve learned, but also to provide you with insider access to new trends, product launches and experts. Just think of this site like a beauty magazine, only better. (After all, there’ll be more to read, more often—and it’s free! Plus, I promise brutal honesty—I’ll tell you how I really feel about every product I''ve tested.)\n\nSo with that, welcome to <strong>BeautyEditor.ca</strong>!

I had a one-on-one makeup lesson with her for a story I was writing for <a title="FASHION Magazine" href="http://www.fashionmagazine.com" target="_blank"><em>FASHION</em></a>, and at the time was only applying my concealer under the outer corners of my eyes.\n\nBig mistake.\n\nThe skin around the inner corners of your eyes is actually more shadowed than the rest of the eye area, so covering it up can make a dramatic difference. According to Miriam, <strong>if you do just one thing before you walk out the door, do this!</strong> It will instantly give your eyes a lift and make you look more awake and rested.\n\nLook for a concealer with a slightly creamy consistency. (Naturally, <a title="GEE Beauty" href="http://www.geebeauty.com" target="_blank">GEE Beauty</a>’s own concealer stick works well; I also like <a title="Benefit Boi-ing" href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gp/product/B0015YGE3M/sr=1-3/qid=1235323254/ref=sr_1_3/184-3560534-0186433?ie=UTF8&amp;n=164988011&amp;bcBrand=core" target="_blank">Benefit Boi-ing</a>).

But it looks like they have some new competition.<!--more-->\n\nKiss Me Mascara gained cult status because of its “tube” technology. In other words, the formula coats individual lashes with tubes of colour, which don’t flake, smudge or run—and at the end of the day, easily come off with warm water. Sounds great, right? Well, almost. Although I’m a long-time fan of Kiss Me, I usually save it for gym days or hot weather, because it doesn’t do much in the way of volume-building or lash-lengthening.\n\nBut leave it to L’Oréal Paris to answer my beauty prayers.\n\nDouble Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara is similar to Kiss Me’s version, but it works in two steps: First, you prime with a basecoat, which nourishes the lashes and ensures the top layer will go on evenly. Then, you brush on the colour topcoat, which uses the same tube technology—but extends lashes too.\n\n<strong>Best suited for</strong>: L’Oréal Paris says this mascara will give you the look of salon lash extensions, so if you''re after a lush, dramatic look, then this is product for you. It''s also a great option if you''re like me and simply hate when mascara won''t stay put. (It''s also easier to find than Kiss Me, which isn''t widely distributed.)\n\n<em>Priced at $14.95 each.

A long time ago, when I was just a wee beauty journalist, P&amp;G Beauty flew a bunch of us to New York for the launch of Olay Ribbons Body Wash. Now I know we’re not talking about splitting the atom here, but in my circles, this product was what we call <em>a very big deal</em>. That’s because P&amp;G developed a way to swirl together two different “ribbons” of product—one cleanser, one moisturizer—in one bottle. Which meant that you could just about do away with your post-shower body lotion, if you so chose. (And being the laziest beauty editor of all time, I did.)<!--more-->\n\nFast-forward to 2009 and now you can find the same innovation in this new line of hair products<a title="Herbal Essences Hydralicious collection" href="http://www.herbalessences.ca/en_CA/collections/hydralicious/default.jsp" target="_blank"></a>. Each shampoo contains two different formulas: The clear swirl cleanses and prevents tangling and breakage, while the opaque swirl conditions and softens. When combined with water, they release even more moisturizing ingredients to repair and protect hair from future damage. And you can lock it all in with the conditoner. Now that''s a whole lotta moisture!\n\nOh, and did I mention how great these smell? P&amp;G also has a team of scent experts, who actually develop fragrances for the Herbal Essences products in the same way you''d create a perfume. And they''re equally luscious—think water lily nectar, red vanilla and passion fruit.\n\n<strong>Best suited for</strong>: Any hair type. There are three versions: Featherweight, which boosts hair that needs body; Self-Targeting, which targets hydration only where you need it; and Reconditioning, which conditions dry, damaged, frizzy hair.\n\n<em>Priced at $3.99 for 300 mL.

Some people love it. Others (including me) think it''s awfully close to old-lady territory. But there''s no old-lady factor here. (Really—and this is coming from someone who had to retire her beloved Stella McCartney fragrance, which is supposedly a modern rose. Back in ''06 I really liked it, probably swayed by all the publicity and by the fact that I love Stella as a designer. But alas, it wasn''t meant to be. After a while I realized I just smelled like a grandmother, i.e. NOT sexy.)<!--more-->\n\nAnyway, this one is different. It''s like they took just a hint of rose, and then counterbalanced it with lashings of lemon oil for freshness, and base notes of vanilla and musk to give it warmth and depth. And since I’m pretty democratic about my fragrance choices, I’ll come right out and say it: I think this scent is actually sophisticated enough to hold its own against more pricey alternatives.\n\n<strong>Best suited for</strong>: The feminine floral-lover that''s looking for a lighter, everyday scent.

That''s the case with this new fragrance, which apparently knocks up to 12 years off your age. <!--more-->\n\nHow the heck does it do that, you say? Well, it''s no secret that the fragrance tastes of teenage girls are usually radically different to 40-something women. New York-based Harvey Prince &amp; Co., the makers of this fragrance, decided to find out whether <em>men</em> can peg our age group based on our fragrance choices. They commissioned clinical trials to find out which scents evoke maturity and which suggest youth. And no surprises here: Rose got the thumbs down (I''ve <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/03/03/the-body-shop-moroccan-rose-eau-de-toilette/" target="_blank">posted before</a> about its old-lady factor), but pink grapefruit, mango, pomegranate, jasmine and musk (all found in Ageless, by the way) were considered youthful. So much so, that wearers were perceived as 8 to 12 years younger.\n\nThe company also says Ageless counters something called "noneal," which is a body chemical people naturally produce as they age and a result of the breakdown in fatty acids in the skin. Nice. Now I''m going to have to add <em>that</em> to my list of future beauty worries: crow''s feet, freak gray hairs... noneal!?\n\nAnyway, I have to admit, I do like this.

And honestly, there''s almost nothing worse—especially when you''ve spent half an hour on a meticulous smoky eye.<!--more--></p>\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tricks-eyeshadow-primer-guerlain-0309.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-621" title="tricks-eyeshadow-primer-guerlain-0309" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tricks-eyeshadow-primer-guerlain-0309.jpg" alt="tricks-eyeshadow-primer-guerlain-0309" width="200" height="200" /></a>One way to counteract this phenomenon is to prime your lids <em>before</em> you slick on the shadow. Right now, I''m testing out <a title="Guerlain Ombre Eclat Eye Primer" href="http://www.guerlain.com/index.asp?page=gbasp/maquillage/&amp;logo=1" target="_blank">Guerlain''s new Ombre Éclat Eye Primer</a> ($33, available at Guerlain boutiques, Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutiques and department stores). It''s a creamy powder that helps shadow adhere, and it also treats the eye area thanks to smoothing polymers and hydrating dry oils. The verdict? It still doesn''t make shadow budge-proof, but it''s a heck of a lot better than going without primer at all.\n\nIn a pinch, you can also use a thin layer of<strong> liquid concealer or foundation</strong> to prep the lids, and then dust with powder. This will help soak up some of the oils on your lids and give the shadow something to grip on to.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tricks-waterproof-eyeshadow-dior-0309.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-622" title="tricks-waterproof-eyeshadow-dior-0309" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tricks-waterproof-eyeshadow-dior-0309.jpg" alt="tricks-waterproof-eyeshadow-dior-0309" width="200" height="200" /></a>Or, you can simply switch from your usual eyeshadow to a <strong>waterproof cream version</strong>.

Well, the theory is that a good exfoliation helps along your skin cell turnover, which gets sluggish starting in your thirties.)\n\nThen, for the next six days, you apply a potent form of Olay''s glucosamine complex, which helps block the enzyme that produces melanin—the substance responsible for uneven skin tone. Take that, pesky age spots!\n\nThe last step is a super-hydrating mask that contains five times the amount of skin conditioners found in a typical lotion, to give your skin a final boost of moisture.

And let''s not even TALK about where I got that photo. (Apparently there are sites out there that AUCTION THEM OFF. Unused, I hope. God, people are weird.)\n\nAnyway, don''t let that scare you off. The reason you need to wear them is so that you can get before and after photos taken—a process which is, I''ll admit, not all that pleasant, but necessary nonetheless.\n\nBefore that even happens though, you get a more detailed explanation of what the treatments are all about. (At SpaMedica, this is with Tracey Beaudry, director of operations. She tries a lot of this stuff herself, so she can tell you honestly about what the treatment actually involves and feels like.)\n\nHere are a few interesting tidbits that Tracey shared with me:\n<ul>\n	<li>Like Dr. Muholland mentioned the other day, <strong>Zerona is for all-over fat loss—not spot treating</strong>. If you''re more concerned about one particular area of fat, like your belly, you''d be better off going with something like <a href="http://www.velashape.com/" target="_blank">VelaShape</a>, which is more targeted (but also more painful—Zerona isn''t supposed to hurt at all).</li>\n	<li><strong>You''ll lose PURE FAT.</strong> Sounds good, right? Most people, when they lose weight, will initially lose water. With Zerona, we''re talking about losing three to four pounds of fat only. Hurray!</li>\n	<li>For best results, <strong>you should take a supplement called Curva</strong>, which helps the fat flush itself out of your system. (It''s basically a high dose of niacin, which is totally safe, but may cause a bit of flushing for a few minutes after you take it—just FYI.) Curva is included in the treatment package, so they''ll give you a bottle at your first appointment, and you should start taking it about a week before your treatments start. Note: Curva is optional—it''s got fish oil in it so it''s not suitable for vegans.</li>\n	<li>During the two-week treatment period, you also need to <strong>avoid alcohol and fatty foods (sorry) and drink eight glasses of water a day</strong>. Also try to get regular exercise—at least two 30-minute sessions per week.</li>\n	<li><strong>Each treatment session is 40 minutes</strong>: 20 minutes on your front and 20 minutes on your back. You can talk on the phone, work on your laptop, read or just relax during the sessions. SpaMedica recommends maintenance sessions of Zerona twice a year.</li>\n</ul>\nAfter I got the rundown,  it was time for photos—and the dreaded thong! I had to don it in this room:\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-room.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8251" title="zerona-treatment-room" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-room.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nAnd that''s where they take photographs of you wearing it (just showing your body from neck to knees). I won''t lie—it''s pretty traumatic, although it''s just you and the medical esthetician in the room, and she''s very discreet. But they''ve gotta do it—they take photos at the beginning and then when you finish all the treatments—so you can see the difference.\n\nAfter that, you get your measurements taken VERY thoroughly from neck to knees. Also a bit ego-crushing, but they do this at the start, mid-way through and at the end.\n\nSo next week I start the actual fat-burning.

Trust.<!--more-->\n\n<strong>To get the look</strong>:\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Choose a pale, slate-coloured shadow</strong> with just a hint of shimmer and brush it from the lash line up to the brows, making sure to apply it around the inner corner of the eyes for extra drama. Avoid anything too iridescent (notice the real shine is just concentrated on the inner corners of the eyes, and we''ll get to that part later).</li>\n	<li><strong>Layer a slightly darker shade on top</strong>, concentrating it in the outer part of the crease and around the outer lash line to add dimension.</li>\n	<li><strong>Line the upper lash line</strong> with a black liquid liner. Once it dries, go over the line with a black or dark gray eyeshadow (apply it with an angled brush), working the shadow as close as possible to the lash line to fill in any gaps. Brush it along the lower lash line too.</li>\n	<li>If you''re game, you can use a waterproof black eyeliner to <strong>line the inner eyelids</strong>. This is a bit tricky and I''m sure is not recommended by most opthamologists, but once you get the hang of it, is super-easy, and really makes the eyes pop.</li>\n	<li><strong>Apply a dab of shimmery white highlighter</strong> at the inner corner of each eye.</li>\n	<li>Curl your lashes and apply two or three coats of the most <strong>volumizing, lash-lengthening mascara</strong> you can find. (False lashes, as used here, would look great too.)</li>\n	<li><strong>Leave the rest of your face bare</strong>—a peachy blush and lip gloss are all you need to keep the focus on your eyes.</li>\n</ol>', 'How-to: Do Dior&#039;s modern smoky eye (minus the scary eyebrows)', 'Silver makes for a modern take on the smoky eye.

Like this one: Colour-protecting—but chemical-laden—sudsy goodness... or an all-natural formula that doesn''t lather and fades your colour? Luckily it''s a trade-off we no longer have to make, thanks to this new line.<!--more-->\n\nSo first, the backstory. Most shampoos use chemicals called sulfates as cleaning agents (you''ve probably heard of sodium lauryl sulfate, which is the most common). They do a bang-up job of getting rid of dirt and oils, and are responsible for that creamy lather that helps spread the product around on your scalp.\n\nNow here''s the glitch. Sulfates are a known skin irritant, so some sensitive types might get a reaction on their scalp from using sulfate-based products. And worst of all, they can be harsh and stripping—which means they can make last week''s dye job fade faster than <em>The Hills</em> stars'' 15 minutes.\n\nThe problem with many sulfate-free shampoos, though, is that they just don''t produce any suds—nor are they especially formulated for colour-treated hair. But in this new line, L''Oréal Paris have found a way to replace the sulfates with a blend of five naturally-derived surfactants that still deliver a creamy lather. Plus, it''s totally vegan, AND they''ve thrown in some anti-fading ingredients for good measure. Genius, right?\n\n<strong>Best suited for</strong>: Anyone who wants to get more mileage out of their hair colour. (And let''s face it, in this economic climate, who doesn''t?) Available in three versions: Moisture, Smooth and Volume.\n\n<em>Priced at $10.99-12.99 each.

Eyes or lips. Not both." Probably due to a looooong hangover from the Age of Overkill, a.k.a. the 1980s. But obviously, some rules are meant to be broken—take a look at the makeup from Anna Sui''s fall show (courtesy of Pat McGrath).<!--more-->\n\nBut before we go any further, there is just one thing you need to keep in mind. You see, back when we were single-feature emphasizing it was perfectly acceptable to go OTT with a super-pigmented red lipstick, for example, or a heavy charcoal shadow. Ridiculous together, but set alone, with the rest of the face almost bare, it was (and still is) a striking look.\n\nBut forget about that here. For the "eyes+lips" to work, you need <strong>sheer, almost translucent</strong> colours that you can layer to get the right amount of pigment.\n\nEyes should be smoky, but <strong>choose lighter colours</strong>, like grays or browns—nothing too heavy. And you must, must, must <strong>avoid opaque lips</strong>. Go for the stained look shown here. You can get it with CoverGirl''s new Outlast Lip Stain in Sassy Mauve ($8.69 from <a title="CoverGirl Outlast Lip Stain" href="http://well.ca/beauty/products/covergirl-outlast-lip-stain_9228.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">Well.ca</a>). But truthfully, you could get a similar look with lipstick too. Just blot it with a tissue so that you''re just left with the soft pigment. Apply a bit of lip balm (avoid gloss, it''s too shiny) for a slightly moist look.\n\nFlushed cheeks are essential to keep the look fresh—otherwise it''s too Robert Palmer-esque. (Oh and maybe keep your hair down too, just in case.)', 'How-to: Emphasize eyes AND lips', 'Channel the ''80s (in a good way).

Two years ago, I decided to go dark brown, mostly to remedy a crazy solid-colour platinum blonde phase that had left my hair looking rather straw-like (along with telltale dark roots that I swear don''t even look good on Cameron Diaz). At the advice of my longtime hairdresser—who I trust implicitly and who I always come back to after my experimental disasters, which are a hazard of the job—I started box-dyeing. To my surprise, my hair actually looked, and felt, smoother.<!--more-->\n\nIt probably would have felt even better if this breakthrough product had been around back then. (Shameless plug: I wrote a piece on this, and other beauty innovations, for the May issue of <em>ELLE Canada</em>. Be sure to check it out!)\n\nWhat makes it so special? Well, instead of stripping away the hair''s protective outer layer, the formula coats the hair with a strengthening polymer and ceramides. That means your hair is left more elastic and less prone to breakage, plus the polymers ward away negative ions (I know—not sure how, but they do) which make strands look dull.

Brown—for evening wear? It can''t possibly look as good as black, right? Well, judging from Ms. Eva (shown here at a <em>TV Guide</em> party in Hollywood), it can be an unexpected and super-flattering choice for anyone with golden undertones in their skin. But the key to dressing up brown for night is to pair it with glam but subtle makeup in warm, peachy tones.\n\nStart with a <strong>semi-matte foundation</strong>. But don''t go too dewy or you risk stepping into J.Lo-circa 1999 territory. For a pro application, use a foundation brush and blend the product from the centre of the face out. Generously sweep a <strong>golden-peach blush</strong> (NARS Orgasm will do nicely) across the apples of your cheeks, and pair it with a satiny lipstick or gloss in the same colour family. Play up the brown in your dress with <strong>brown eyeliner </strong>(or shadow as eyeliner). To make your eyes really pop, go for the <strong>blackest black mascara</strong>. Et voila!

Honestly, she could get work as a hair double for those Pantene commercials. Raven-haired beauties like her have a key advantage in the shine stakes, since darker hair reflects light better than blonde or red shades. But that doesn''t mean you have to run out and pick up some hair dye. <!--more-->\n\n(Although, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/03/16/loreal-paris-excellence-to-go-10-minutes-creme-colorant/" target="_blank">as I pointed out here</a>, colouring CAN help improve the condition of your hair and make it look softer and smoother.) If you''re happy with your current shade, then your best bet is to test drive hair products specifically designed for building shine. (They''ll smooth down the hair cuticle without weighing down the hair or leaving it greasy.) Ones to try: <a href="http://well.ca/brand/pantene.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">Pantene Blonde, Brunette, Red or Midnight Expressions</a>.\n\nTo style, keep in mind that straight or slightly wavy styles always look glossier than curly, frizzy hair. So apply a leave-in heat-protective product (look for one like <a href="http://well.ca/products/john-frieda-frizz-ease-thermal_4585.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum</a>, which doubles as a smoothing product) and blow-dry your hair straight with a round brush. Then, working in sections, use a flat iron to create loose waves.\n\nThat''s right. Ditch the curling iron and use your trusty straightener to make curls. It''s tricky to explain, but once you get the hang of it, you''ll never go back. What you want to do is clamp the iron about halfway down the length of hair, then roll the rest of the hair around it. Twist the iron in a downward circle until you release the hair. The result? A soft wave that has better staying-power than hot rollers.', 'Kim Kardashian, Russell Simmons event, Miami', '', 'trash', 'open', 'open', '', 'kim-kardashian-russell-simmons-event-miami', '', '', '2011-10-25 13:51:25', '2011-10-25 13:51:25', '', 0, 'http://beautyeditor.ca/?p=511', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I couldn''t get enough blonde! (The cure ended up being a dramatic switch to my natural brown, as I outlined <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/03/16/loreal-paris-excellence-to-go-10-minutes-creme-colorant/" target="_blank">here</a>, but that''s another story.) Anyway, what I''m trying to say is that I understand the disorder quite well, and if you happen to have it, then this is a line you might want to look into.\n\nThe problem with blonde is that in between colourings, it can get a little dull. Add that to the perpetual root re-growth issue, and you''ve got a problem on your hands. (I don''t care what they say about roots being a new trend. Unless you''re a glammed-up celebrity, it just looks messy and unkempt.)\n\nBut back to blonding. This line is genius. It contains lactic acid and chamomile, both of which gradually lighten hair by breaking down colour pigments in the hair shaft. Kinda the way lemon juice lightens your hair if you spray it on before going out in the sun. But not, of course, drying like lemon juice—if I recall some teenage beauty experiments of mine, that trick didn''t always turn out so well. (Think blonde straw.) So this can satisfy your blonderexia, as it were, without the drying effects of some, er, unconventional methods you may have tried.\n<p style="text-align: left;">If brassiness if more your problem, however, then there''s another option for you from John Frieda: Colour Renew Tone-Restoring Shampoo and Conditioner.

The Estée Lauder chairman came up with the phrase back in 2001 when he noted a inverse correlation between a slumping economy and lipstick sales. Apparently, when the economy tanked, lipstick sales skyrocketed... until now.\n\nI''d venture a guess that foundation is usurping lipstick here in Canada too. I know we beauty editors have all written the obligatory "Return of Lipstick" story over the past few years, but did it ever really catch on?\n\nHere in Canada, we''re not fans of a made-up look (it doesn''t go with our Lululemon pants and North Face jackets). And I know I''m not giving up my gloss (or more accurately, lip balm) for a dark, matte lipstick that ages me 10 years. It''s like my reverse-Botox theory. The more Botox you have, the worse it actually makes you look. Same goes for makeup.\n\nAnyway, this finding also has a lot to do with an emerging beauty trend, which is simply having Great Skin. (Yes, I capitalized it—that''s how much I love this development.) As the rest of the face has become more bare (we''re not shellacking it on like in the 80s or even much of the 90s), it only makes sense that skin is now "in."\n\nIt''s easier to fake good skin, too, since foundations these days are a lot smarter than they used to be. They''re lighter-weight, more natural-looking and have light-reflecting properties, plus many have added sunscreen and skincare ingredients. Also, many women are taking better care of their complexions than they used to—no doubt thanks to the dazzling array of products out there and the rising popularity of cosmetic dermatology—and they want to show that off.\n\nCan you tell that skin is my hands-down favourite beauty topic?

I''m officially in love!\n\nFirst of all, did you know lip gloss can actually be bad for you? Last year, I attended a talk by Aveda founder and eco-beauty expert Horst Rechelbacher (for the launch of his new organic line, <a href="http://www.intelligentnutrients.com" target="_blank">Intelligent Nutrients</a>, which I''ll be posting about soon). He told our group that anytime we lick our lips, we''re ingesting whatever we''ve put on them... which is icky enough in itself, except it gets worse.

So why mess around with products that contain potentially harmful mineral oils, petrolatum and even lead? I know I''m not taking any chances.\n\nThe problem with most organic glosses is that you just feel like they''re inferior in some way, i.e. not moisturizing or long-lasting enough, or with weird sparkles, etc. Until today, which is when I busted out my new <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Josie Maran</a> lip gloss in Daring.

I''m blaming celebs—radical beauty regimens usually require an open schedule AND a big fat bank account, both of which they have in spades.\n\nOf course, beauty editors are also privy to some strange beauty treatments, and I''ve certainly tried my share.

But like a lamb to the slaughter, I don''t even blink when they ask that I bring a pair of thong underwear—and not just any pair, but an "old" pair—to the treatment. Okaaaaay. So I get changed and, wearing my "old thong" underneath the spa robe, shuffle down to the treatment room in the basement. (Why do spas insist on doing treatments in underground, windowless rooms? I mean, it''s bad enough to lie there, held captive at the mercy of an unskilled esthetician, but must the surrounds also resemble a prison cell?)\n\nAnyway, my esthetician then asks me what DVD I''d like to watch. Um, excuse me? This is my first clue that what I''m about to experience will be a little unconventional. Of the selection of ''80s hits like <em>St. Elmo''s Fire</em> and <em>Beverly Hills Cop</em>, I go for <em>Dirty Dancing</em>—not, of course, having any clue as to why Baby and Johnny are now part of my spa day.\n\nNext, I''m ushered into what is, in fact, not a spa room but what looks like Jane Fonda''s aerobics studio circa 1982. The esthetician asks me to disrobe and pulls out her trusty measuring tape so she can record the "before" numbers for my chest, waist and hips. Then, to my horror, she opens up a giant cooler (classy!) which contains a bunch of tensor bandages soaked in clear, gelatinous goo.\n\nLord have mercy! I''m standing there, buck-naked except for the thong, as she proceeds to mummify me as tightly as she can in gooey, dripping wet bandages. Within 10 minutes I''m basically wearing a skin-tight tensor-bandage tube dress. Eat your heart out, Hérve Léger!\n\nOh, but it gets better. At this point, I''m thinking, finally! I get to lie down. But no. Alas, in order to "mobilize the toxins" and "lose the fat" I have to move around. Which is where the DVD comes in. She pops it on and instructs me on the grapevine (a move I haven''t done since step class in the late ''90s), and says I''ll need to do this for about an hour.\n\nAnd where do said toxins go, once they''re exercised away? Why, they come out of your feet, of course! (Silly me—how could I not know that?) So, no joke—my esthetician puts a plastic bag over each foot, secured with rubber bands. She says she''ll return every 15 minutes or so to drain them; apparently if the water''s cloudy that means your body is toxic and the treatment is "working." (Obviously, at this point I''m calling B.S. on this entire treatment, but this line in particular takes the cake.)\n\nSo there I am, mummified, barely able to breathe, covered in goo and slipping and sliding in plastic bags as I grapevine away in a green-carpeted ''80s basement.\n\nIt doesn''t get better than this, people. Incidentally, at the end of it I do lose a couple of inches, but come on—as soon as you have a glass of water the bloat comes back.

All were... adequate. But I never raved about anything until I discovered the Citrus Exfoliating Wash from Eminence Organics, a Hungarian line of handmade products with <strong>extremely high fruit content</strong>. The thinking is that the actual fruit pulp, seeds and peel can deliver healing powers you can''t re-create in a lab.\n\nI know most organic stuff is way over-hyped (and not necessarily natural), but if you''ve got normal or oily skin, then you really do have to try this to believe it. The <strong>juicy, mouthwatering, limey-grapefruit scent</strong> will blow your mind, I promise. And yes, that''s <strong>REAL lime juice</strong>, which is great for your skin, too. Lime has astringent qualities that will help your pores look smaller and smoother, plus it''s high in vitamin C, which has antioxidant properties.\n\nThe texture is a gel with tiny silica beads that ever-so-gently buff away dead skin cells. Plus it contains <strong>grapefruit seed and peel</strong> (also great grease-cutters) that for me at least, eliminate the need for makeup remover as a pre-step. With all this buffing and astringent action, you''d think this product would leave your skin dry or irritated—but no. It''s extremely gentle and the <strong>shea butter extract</strong> helps leave my borderline sensitive skin hydrated and softened.\n\nOh, and did I mention it''s organic? (Duh.) Eminence products are handmade, without any heating or hydrogenating processes, so there are absolutely no nasties. Honestly, I could almost drink the stuff.

It''s also, according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/07/fashion/07skin.html?_r=1&amp;ref=health" target="_blank">this story</a> in <em>The New York Times</em>, catching up with dry skin and wrinkles as one of women''s biggest skincare concerns—more than one-third of American women are worried about it. In some ways, I think this is a great development, because it shows we''re thinking more about the <strong>quality, texture and luminosity of our skin</strong>, instead of single-mindedly focusing on wrinkles (and covering up everything else with heavy makeup). But I hate to break it to you: Uneven tone is also <strong>one of the trickiest beauty problems to solve.</strong>\n\nBlotchy pigmentation can come about after hormonal changes like pregnancy or a stint on the birth control pill. Sun damage is also to blame, and then there are those of us who get the pesky dark marks (called post-inflammatory pigmentation) that come after a blemish and can linger for MONTHS.\n\nUnfortunately, no product is going to even out your complexion overnight. Nor is there one single ingredient that you should look for. (Hydroquinone, a bleaching agent, used to be the gold standard, but it''s falling out of favour because some studies link it to increased cancer risk. So not worth it.)\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/diary-ole-henriksen-truth-serum-0509.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1124" title="diary-ole-henriksen-truth-serum-0509" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/diary-ole-henriksen-truth-serum-0509.jpg" alt="diary-ole-henriksen-truth-serum-0509" width="250" height="300" /></a>Instead, you should look for brightening products that contain a variety of ingredients, all of which <strong>inhibit melanin production</strong>: Soy, mulberry, vitamin C and kojic acid are a few of the players. I''ve used Dermalogica Night Bright (now discontinued and replaced by <a href="http://www.dermalogica.com/ca/products.html#/products/skin-concerns/uneven-skin-tone/pure-night" target="_blank">Pure Night</a>), <a href="http://www.olehenriksen.com/product_detail.asp?Product_ID=16" target="_blank">Ole Henriksen Truth Serum </a>and <a href="http://www.mediqueskincare.com/products/remedial/VitaminC.html" target="_blank">Medique Vitamin C Serum </a>with good, although not miraculous, results. (Tip: If you suffer from post-acne marks, start applying the serum the minute the blemish has resolved.)\n\nOf course, you should always see a dermatologist if you have more pronounced hyperpigmentation or age spots. He or she may give you a prescription-strength <strong>retinoid</strong> or hydroquinone product... but the former can be tough on sensitive skin and cause redness (and the latter, as I said, I''m not a fan of).\n\n<strong>Intense pulsed light treatments</strong> can also help resolve uneven skin tone, but know that you''re looking at a series of treatments, which can get costly. <strong>Chemical peels</strong> are another option, but I''m on the fence about all this hyper-exfoliation. The idea is that removing the upper layer of dead skin cells will reveal brighter, more even skin underneath. But in my experience, you can risk <em>even more</em> pigmentation problems if your skin happens to flake off too quickly post-peel. That''s what happened to me (just from normal face-washing, a couple of days after my low-grade peel), and I developed a dark patch on my skin that made my complexion look worse than it did before. Then there''s the other issue—that if you have too many peels, they''ll also weaken your skin and leave it more fragile in the long run. You''ll also be more vulnerable to that very sun damage you were trying to avoid. No thanks!\n\nI think, as with most things in life, it''s best to <strong>stick to the basics</strong>. Exfoliate gently a couple of times a week and use a brightening serum or moisturizer. Use sunscreen, but don''t rely on it to protect you all day—it''s even better to just stay in the shade. Address the underlying cause of hyperpigmentation problems (if it''s something like persistent hormonal acne, for example). It can take up to four months to see results, so most of all—although I know it''s not the answer you''re looking for—be patient.', 'How-to: Even out your skin tone', '', 'trash', 'open', 'open', '', 'how-to-even-out-your-skin-tone', '', '', '2011-10-25 13:51:23', '2011-10-25 13:51:23', '', 0, 'http://beautyeditor.ca/?p=1120', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I don''t think aging means you have to give up on being a sex symbol (though strutting around in too-revealing or too-tight clothing is a definite no-no past age 25).

It''s a must-have for making your fancy blow-out last—or if you simply want to get out of the habit of daily washing, which makes colour fade faster. It also gives your hair this wonderful next-day texture that I think can actually look better than squeaky-clean hair.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tips-ojon-dry-shampoo-0509.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1233" title="tips-ojon-dry-shampoo-0509" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tips-ojon-dry-shampoo-0509-150x150.jpg" alt="tips-ojon-dry-shampoo-0509" width="150" height="150" /></a>The problem with many dry shampoos (I''m looking at you, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P216709&amp;categoryId=B70" target="_blank">Klorane</a>) is that they spray on white*. Unless you''re a platinum blonde or very good at strategic application, this can make you look like you''re going prematurely gray. That''s one reason why my new favourite one is <a href="http://www.ojon.com/products/OJRU0134U" target="_blank">Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser</a>, which doesn''t leave any chalky white residue. It also makes my hair feel cleaner than any dry shampoo I''ve tried, maybe because it contains oil-absorbing Amazonian white clay, silk powder and rice and potato starches.\n\n* Bumble and Bumble, which I generally think is a fantastic brand, came out with a line of <a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT72&amp;PRODUCT_ID=177" target="_blank">tinted hair powders</a> a few years ago. But I don''t love them. Yes, they solve the problem of grayish roots. But who wants to touch their hair and get chalky brown powder all over their hands? I need my dry shampoo to make me feel cleaner, and this doesn''t.\n\nTo use a dry shampoo, you first need to shake it vigorously, otherwise it can clog. Then, holding it about 12 inches or so away from your head, spray it at your roots only. With Ojon''s, you''re supposed to gently rub it into your scalp and then brush to evenly distribute the product. It takes a couple of minutes to work so you''ll probably want to finish with a final brush-out before styling.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tips-benefit-shower-cap-0509.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1234" title="tips-benefit-shower-cap-0509" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/tips-benefit-shower-cap-0509-150x150.jpg" alt="tips-benefit-shower-cap-0509" width="150" height="150" /></a>Another trick to squeezing more mileage out of a blow-out is to <strong>wash your bangs only</strong>, then blow-dry them to re-style them. Be careful about getting the rest of your hair wet, though. A cute shower cap can help—I like <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/gp/product/B000JJNGYO?bcBrand=core" target="_blank">Benefit''s Bathina Shower Cap</a>, which I can only find on their UK site. Please don''t say it''s discontinued, Benefit!\n\nIt''s also helpful to sleep with your hair <strong>loosely tied back</strong> (and bangs pinned away from your face)—it will keep any waves in place and prevent hair from getting frizzy or greasy. But you can always refresh the top layers with a flat-iron or curling iron.\n\nAnd finally, <strong>resist the urge to touch your hair</strong>. It transfers the oil from your hands on to your locks.

I ended up waxing again even though there was no guy in sight, I was just grossed out.” <strong>—Alicia</strong></blockquote>\nAnd this—although Mom, hi!

Unfortunately, the trip overlapped with my period, which was totally gross. And I wound up just walking around for days, on the rag, with out being able to wash my cooter. When it was finally done, I decided I could no longer resist this dude who I had been flirting with. So, I totally let him put the moves on me...but I should never have let him go downtown.

The beauty therapist is a species of mankind more cruel than a gynecologist''s assistant ("I promise this won''t hurt. You may, though, feel some discomfort..."), and we all have our own horror story. One friend settled herself down to a harmless massage only to hear the giggling observation, "Oh! Very pimply!"

(Specifically, they say you should wear a broad-spectrum, SPF 30 or higher sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays.)\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/OldTan.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1634" title="OldTan" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/OldTan-150x150.jpg" alt="OldTan" width="250" height="250" /></a>I''ve seen bad cases of sun damage (well, maybe not quite in the same ballpark as the lady on the right), so I believe them. When I lived in sunny Australia, I was often shocked when people revealed their ages, because their crinkled foreheads, crow''s feet and hyperpigmentation added a good 10 years. (Hey—it''s one reason to be thankful I grew up in this crazy Canadian climate.)\n\nSo all of the sunscreen talk makes sense to me... but <strong><em>then </em>I put on my health hat—talking to naturopathic doctors and the like—and </strong><strong><em>they</em> tell me that dermatologists have made all of us <em>unnecessarily fearful</em> of the sun.</strong> Because we DO need sun in order to get<strong> vitamin D</strong>—and the majority of us, especially in Canada, don''t get enough of it, not by a long shot. Serious deficiencies are linked to <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/05/16/f-health-vitamin-d.html" target="_blank">increased risk of cancer, heart disease and multiple sclerosis</a>. So theoretically, by trying to avoid getting skin cancer, you could be setting yourself up for other health problems. Scary.\n\nAdding to the confusion is a <a href="http://www.ewg.org/cosmetics/report/sunscreen09/Beach-Sunscreens" target="_blank">report today</a> from the Environmental Working Group (a non-profit U.S. watchgroup) that says <strong>most sunscreens on the market contain chemicals that may pose health hazards or don''t adequately protect skin from the sun''s damaging rays</strong>. (To find out how your usual sunscreen fared in the study, check out the widget in the right hand sidebar of this blog, or search the EWG site <a href="http://www.ewg.org/cosmetics/report/sunscreen09/Beach-Sunscreens" target="_blank">here</a>.)\n\n<strong>Yet another controversy: many companies have recently introduced sunscreens with SPF 50, 60 and 70. </strong>But did you know that <strong><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/05/15/earlyshow/health/main5016981.shtml" target="_blank">anything higher than an SPF 30 offers negligible additional protection</a>?</strong> We''re talking an extra 1% or so—the difference really ain''t that much.\n\nSome beauty experts, like my girl crush <a href="http://kimberlysnyder.net/" target="_blank">Kimberly Synder</a> of Envision Beauty (who I wrote about <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/06/25/nature-meet-science-the-solution-by-envision-beauty/" target="_blank">here</a>) go even further on the sunscreen debate. Here''s what she has to say:\n<blockquote>"Sunscreens are extremely toxic. They create a “block” on the surface of the skin, so your skin doesn’t get red, but deep within the skin there can still be damage from the sun.\n\n(....)\n\nWhat’s really scary is that, similar to when you heat oil to high temperatures when you''re frying food, which creates free radicals, the active ingredients in most sunscreens heat on the surface of your face with the warmth of the sun. [This] “cooks” the sunscreen, <strong>creating more free radicals right on the surface of your skin</strong>. In my opinion, most sunscreens are extremely aging—and consider that in areas where there is more sunscreen used, there is more skin cancer! Our media and society and many doctors say to use sunscreen—even the toxic kinds—but they also tell us that dairy is a great source of calcium and that counting calories is the best way to lose weight.  So there is a lot I disagree with!"</blockquote>\nWhat''s my take? While I''m as vain as the next person (scratch that—obviously, I''m <em>more</em> vain) and I certainly don''t want to get wrinkles, etc., in the long run I''m more concerned about health over beauty. <strong>Here''s my approach—I know many of you will disagree, so this may or may not work for you:</strong>\n\n1. <strong>I don''t sunbathe</strong>, unless I''m on holiday somewhere tropical (which on a journalist''s salary doesn''t happen too often). I think it''s smarter to mostly avoid direct sunlight, rather than bake in it with sunscreen on and (falsely) think you''re safe.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/spf30sprayff.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1640" title="spf30sprayff" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/spf30sprayff-150x150.jpg" alt="spf30sprayff" width="150" height="150" /></a>2. If I <em>am</em> going to be in direct sunlight (like if I know I''ll be walking around all day), I''ll wear an <strong>SPF 30 on my face, neck and chest</strong>. I like <a href="http://www.kinesys.com/" target="_blank">Kinesys</a> because it''s a clear, oil- and alcohol-free spray that never leaves my face greasy.\n\n3. Otherwise, for everyday, year-round protection I try to use <strong>natural sunscreens (like titanium)</strong>, which are less toxic and found in many mineral powders (<a href="http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=717&amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank">Pure + Simple</a> makes a good one) and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/07/06/liquid-foundation-i-actually-like-physicians-formula-organic-wear-liquid-foundation-spf-15/" target="_blank">my newly beloved</a> Physicians Formula Organic Wear Foundation.\n\n4. <strong>I don''t wear anything higher than an SPF 30. </strong>I''m being completely honest here—I believe the higher SPF sunscreens contain too many unnecessary chemicals that I don''t want my body absorbing. (The thinking behind them is that most people don''t apply a generous enough amout of sunscreen, so these are like additional "insurance." My response to that? See point #1 above.) You should also know that Australia has banned sunscreens above SPF 30 because of health concerns.\n\n5. <strong>I take 4,000 IU of vitamin D every day</strong>. (Yes, higher than what the Canadian Cancer Society <a href="http://www.cancer.ca/canada-wide/about%20us/media%20centre/cw-media%20releases/cw-2007/canadian%20cancer%20society%20announces%20vitamin%20d%20recommendation.aspx?sc_lang=en" target="_blank">recommends</a>, but get your vitamin D levels checked in a simple blood test—chances are, you''re deficient and will need more vitamin D for a period of time to get back in balance.)\n\nSo that''s my sunscreen rant/manifesto/public service announcement.

But that''s why I''m delighted to share a Q&amp;A I had with mom and ex-model <a href="http://health.discovery.com/convergence/runway-moms/liza.html" target="_blank">Liza Elliott-Ramirez</a>. Based in New York, Liza runs <a href="http://www.expectingmodels.com/" target="_blank">Expecting Models</a>, a modelling agency entirely devoted to pregnant models, AND she stars in the reality show <em><a href="http://health.discovery.com/convergence/runway-moms/runway-moms.html" target="_blank">Runway Moms</a></em> (which is coming soon to Canada!). She''s also a big fan of <a href="http://www.bio-oil.com/en/uses.html" target="_blank">Bio-Oil</a>, the cult-favourite scar/stretch mark/uneven skin tone oil (they hosted her trip to T.O.).\n\nHere''s what Liza had to say about modelling, reality TV and looking good during and post-pregnancy:<!--more-->\n\nYou got your start in this biz as a professional (non-expecting!) model. How did that come about? I was scouted on the beach in the Hamptons by a photographer when I was 14 years old. We did a photo shoot and I used those images for a portfolio and went into an agency and got signed. My entry into the business was pretty easy—I was very lucky.\n\nTell us a bit about your pre-pregnancy modelling career... was it as it as glamorous as everyone would believe? Some of it is very glamourous—like walking down a runway and wearing couture in photo shoots, but it’s a competitive business and you have to win jobs by pounding the pavement and doing a lot of casting calls. In New York City, there are lots of models competing for fewer jobs and casting is tough. In Japan, I would go to 28 castings a day and thought my feet would fall off.  You win some jobs and not others and you don’t know why, so you have to have tough skin and roll with the punches… and never take it personally.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/expectingmodels.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1705" title="expectingmodels" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/expectingmodels.jpg" alt="expectingmodels" width="176" height="267" /></a>What made you decide to launch <a href="http://www.expectingmodels.com/" target="_blank">Expecting Models</a>? When I became pregnant with my first child, my agent told me to come back when I was to my pre-pregnancy body. I knew there had to be a market for pregnant models, so I started to reach out to clients and companies I thought would be a good fit. There was so much work I was turning jobs down, [so] in 2001, I founded <a href="Expecting Models" target="_blank">Expecting Models</a>. We are the only agency that specializes in professional pregnant models for the fashion and commercial world.\n\nDid  your modelling experience prepare you for your new role as a reality TV star on <em><a href="http://health.discovery.com/convergence/runway-moms/runway-moms.html" target="_blank">Runway Moms</a></em>? Absolutely. It was a great way to learn to be natural on camera. Reality is so different from scripted television. I prefer reality TV because it gives people the essence of the truth—it''s real situations.\n\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Bio-Oil-Pack-and-Bottle1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1721" title="Bio-Oil Pack and Bottle" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Bio-Oil-Pack-and-Bottle1-268x300.jpg" alt="Bio-Oil Pack and Bottle" width="268" height="300" /></a>What''s the best way to take care of your skin throughout your pregnancy? Great skin is the foundation of every pregnancy beauty routine, especially when it’s summer and you’re showing more skin around the beach or pool. For silky skin: moisturize! Exfoliate your body with gentle soap and a coarse cloth in the shower, and then apply <a href="http://www.bio-oil.com/en/uses.html" target="_blank">Bio-Oil</a> head-to-toe on your skin. Focus on the belly area morning and night.\n\nFresh, clean make up is always best: your skin emits a natural glow so don’t cover it up. Powder can make you look older. Tinted moisturizer with SPF, a little bronzer and a soft neutral lip gloss enhances the glow. Add glamour with a smudge of dark liner across the upper lash line. For swelling in the eye zone, apply spoons chilled in the fridge for a few minutes before makeup application.\n\nPregnant or not, what are the three beauty products you can''t live without?\n<ol>\n	<li><a href="http://www.bio-oil.com/en/uses.html" target="_blank">Bio-Oil</a>:  I’m so in love with this product—my son and husband are big fans too. It keeps your skin hydrated and evens out your skin tone.</li>\n	<li>Eyeliner: It''s one of those quick and easy tools that helps open up your eyes.</li>\n	<li>Lip gloss: You can just pop it on mirror-free, smoosh up your lips and you’re ready to go.</li>\n</ol>\nDo you have any advice for aspiring models? Don’t give up. Don’t take “NO” personally and achieve at least three things a day that will help you get closer to your dream. That way you are always on the road to success.\n\nLastly, what are you tips for balancing career and motherhood? Don’t place emphasis on having to get the job done during normal business hours, especially if you can work on a freelance basis to spend more time with your kids. In the early days, do your best to sleep when your baby sleeps and time yourself with how long you realistically think you can work with a baby. Actually estimate that something will take you 40 minutes, set a timer and stick to it. That will help you learn about your limits, how long things really take and force you to pay attention to how long you are working. I know it sounds cliché but you have to take time out for you—eat properly, take time to rest and do it as often as you can. Because if Mom is falling apart, the family starts to follow suit. Love the job that you do and then leave it at work so you can enjoy the time with your family in body and mind.

(1675, 1, '2009-08-10 11:09:49', '2009-08-10 15:09:49', 'Last year, when I was on staff at a fashion magazine, we did a story on organic perfumes—a category that''s been gaining ground recently thanks to the blossoming eco movement. Fragrance experts tend to scoff, of course, at the entire concept, since synthetic raw materials have formed the basis for most scents ever since Chanel No. 5 hit the market in the 1920''s. (It was the first scent derived entirely from artificial ingredients—before that, fragrances contained only botanicals like rose, sandalwood and lavender.) Fine perfumery is definitely an art—synthetics and all—so as a beauty editor, I wasn''t sure how I felt about naturals. (How could they even <em>begin</em> to match the sophistication of creations by perfumers like Annick Goutal or Hermès'' Jean-Claude Ellena?) But ever the intrepid reporter, once we finished the aforementioned story, I thought I''d try out one of the scents: Guaiac by <a href="http://redflower.com/" target="_blank">Red Flower</a>, a New York-based purveyor of luxury organic beauty products.\n\nOn first application, it just smelled so <em>different</em>. I was used to vanilla or watery notes. This was fresh and earthy and citrusy. At first, I wasn''t sure I liked it, but the more I wore it, the more I fell in love with it. Now, I see that it was slightly ahead of the trend: chypre (woody) notes are the next big thing in fragrances (as opposed to the sickly-sweet dessert-type scents that have been in favour for the past few years). Also, as an allergy-sufferer, I tend to sneeze, practically on cue, whenever I spray a mainstream fragrance—but this doesn''t happen with Guaiac.\n\nAnyway, the other day I decided to Google my beloved scent, since I''d never bothered finding out much more about it. Imagine my delight when I came across <a href="http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/scent-notes-guaiac-by-red-flower/" target="_blank">this review</a> by the brilliant <em>New York Times</em> perfume critic Chandler Burr, who gave Guaiac four stars:\n<blockquote>“Red Flower Organic Perfume in Guaiac” (the thing’s official mouthful of a name), created by Alkalay and the perfumer George Devoe, is enchanting. It is also startling, a result of the oddness that comes as much from what you are not smelling — the absence of the ubiquitous synthetic musk Galaxolide, for example — as what you are. Nor does the perfume smell like guaiac wood, at least not patently. It smells like the sweet sunlight-filled citric burst you get from gashing the peel of an exquisitely fresh orange with your thumbnail mixed with the scent of warm hay (very fresh, with no trace of dust) and a clear mint-like freshness that manages not to have the slightest trace of literal “mint.” Its sweet comes without sugar. It is so straightforward that it smells mysterious, and it is so simple, so nakedly, lucidly pure that it smells naïve. If Guaiac is a universe away from the rich, plush, Frenchly elaborated pre-war Guerlains, it is just as far from the early 21st century minimalist intellectual art scents of Frédéric Malle and Le Labo. Both those schools produce brilliant perfumes. This is something else. One feels about this perfume as one would a tiny blossom, impossibly lovely, ridiculously fragile, evanescent.</blockquote>\n<a href="http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/scent-notes-guaiac-by-red-flower/" target="_blank">Read the whole thing.</a> (And yes, wouldn''t it just figure that the scent I fall in love with is also one of the most expensive: US$186 for just 15 mL.

But it got me thinking back to all the tips I''ve received over the years about the right way to apply it.\n\nSome makeup artists swear by sponges, which you can buy at the drugstore. Me? Not so much. I think they waste too much product, and then you have to clean them, which can be a bit of a pain.\n\nOthers prefer the foundation brush, which is flat and made of synthetic fibres (not animal hair). I have <a href="http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?ngextredir=1&amp;CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY2568&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD7557" target="_blank">a good one from Bobbi Brown</a>, which I sometimes use. But despite the fact that it''s supposed to make blending easier (and theoretically using less product), I do find it gives me a heavier look. Plus there''s that whole clean-up factor afterwards.\n\nSo my application method of choice is simply my fingers. <!--more-->Start with clean ones, obviously, and then squirt a bit of the foundation on the back of your hand. NEVER apply it directly from the bottle as it will look way too heavy.\n\nThen, dabbing a bit on your fingers at a time, apply—starting from the centre of your face and working outward. (This is VERY important so that you avoid the "mask" look at your jaw line.) The areas where foundation is most needed are around the nose, mouth, chin and forehead, so it just makes sense that you concentrate application there and then gently blend it out as you reach the outer areas of your face.\n\nFor best results, apply it in a gentle massaging motion. This will warm up the product and help it melt into your skin for the most natural look.\n\nEt voila!

Even better: it''s quick-drying and transfer-resistant. I haven''t tried it yet myself, but I also hear it doesn''t have the usual icky self-tanner scent.\n<p class="alert"><strong>Wanna try it?</strong> I''m giving away 50 (yes, FIFTY!) of them.

Now, I''m a die-hard face oil addict. (<a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/products_details.php?range=94&amp;groupid=225&amp;mnuid=&amp;S=35d472234a6339d5c97ba" target="_blank">Liz Earle''s Superskin Concentrate</a> is my current oil of choice.)\n\nThe same theory used to apply to my hair—wasn''t it all about <em>removing</em> oil, not adding it back in?\n\nWell, no. Not if you''ve encountered the <a href="http://moroccanoil.com/" target="_blank">Moroccanoil</a> line of products. A few weeks ago, I met with Carmen Tal, the Montreal-based owner of the company, along with her daughter. And hear this: they have GREAT hair. <!--more-->\n<h2>Why Moroccanoil Works</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/moroccan-oil-store-products.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7711" title="MoroccanOil hair products" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/moroccan-oil-store-products-300x165.jpg" alt="MoroccanOil hair products hair serum" width="300" height="165" /></a>Moroccanoil products are all based on argan oil, a wonder ingredient derived from Morocco that is equal parts antioxidant, UV protector, vitamin-infuser and hair-strengthener. So your hair actually looks and feels healthier and silkier—but not greasier—when you use these products. (That''s right—it''s not greasy AT ALL. And believe me, I would tell you. I have the kind of straight, fine hair that can''t handle any type of hair serum, styling lotion, etc.)\n\nThe star product in the line is the original Moroccanoil Treatment ($39 for 100 mL). All you need is a few drops: it gets rid of frizz like nothing else and really helps dry ends look healthier. It enhances coloured locks, too—some colourists even use it as a pre-colour treatment because it improves shine, elasticity and the depth of colour.\n<h2>New Moroccanoil Products</h2>\nRecently, Carmen introduced a few new products to the line: the Moisture Repair Shampoo ($18.80 for 250 mL), Moisture Repair Conditioner ($19.80 for 250 mL) and the Restorative Hair Mask ($39 for 250 mL). All left my hair wonderfully silky, and the scent is to die for. If you''re like me and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/07/03/summer-scent-guerlain-aqua-allegoria-tiare-mimosa/" target="_blank">love anything tropical</a>, you''ll adore this even more.\n\nPS: the Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo is sulfate-free!

Why? Because I think they''re (with a few exceptions) boring. It''s not that I don''t like fashion—I do. But I''d MUCH rather see how the models and/or celebs are working their red lips/liquid leggings/skyscraper heels/whatever on the street, in REAL LIFE. Way more helpful for my own personal beauty and wardrobe decisions, obviously.<!--more--></p>\n\nGossip weeklies excel at the street style thing, of course. (Thanks, paparazzi!) And I won''t deny I love a cheeky look at <em>US Weekly </em>and <em>People StyleWatch</em> when I''m at the nail or hair salon. But it feels a bit forced, because celebs are mostly clueless about style—as evidenced by the fact that so many of them won''t so much as visit the grocery store without consulting Rachel Zoe—and they also tend to play it a bit too safe (I''m looking at you, Jennifer Aniston). Although I get that—would YOU take a fashion risk if the paps were camped outside your front door?\n\nAnyway, in search of new beauty (and style) inspiration, I''ve come across a more fruitful source: socialites.\n\nOne of my favourite photo-blogs is a little site called <a href="http://parkavepeerage.com/" target="_blank">Park Avenue Peerage</a>.

Without fail, one of the effortlessly gorgeous makeup artists I meet with has <strong>totally covetable, slightly matte, crimson-coloured lips</strong>.\n\nOf course, I could never quite master the same look at home (despite owning approximately 1,723 red lipsticks). So this year, I found out the secret: <strong>red lip pencil</strong>. Not actually owning a red lip pencil, that fun fact stuck in my mind for many months, until I got sent <a href="http://www.pupa.it/ENG/Catalogue/SchedaProdotto.aspx?IDProdotto=372&amp;IDTipologia=354&amp;IDLinea=75" target="_blank">Pupa''s new True Lips Lip Liner Smudged Pencil</a> in #7 (Shocking Red). <!--more-->\n\nThe reason I''m slightly afraid of lip pencils is because they tend to be on the dry side (making them both hard to blend and exacerbating any flakiness on your lips). And more importantly, they can look weirdly dated. (One false move and you''re into mid-90s ring-around-the-lips territory.)\n\nHowever, this little number from Pupa changed all that. I didn''t expect to like it, but it''s actually moisturizing without adding any glossiness (which is <em>très</em> important—this look is all about the matte texture). The texture of the pencil itself is one of the best I''ve tried: <strong>smooth and blendable</strong> (again, this is key because the look requires you to fill in your entire lips, not just outline the edges).\n\nAnd finally, the shade (again, it''s #7: Shocking Red) is the ultimate true red. It flatters just about anyone, and you can trust me on that. I just tried it on my mom and four-year-old niece (who, under my tutelage, is a products junkie in the making) and it looked great on all three of us.\n\n<strong>Pupa</strong> | <a href="http://www.pupa.it/ENG/default.aspx" target="_blank">pupa.it</a>\n\nAt spas and select drugstores across Canada.\n<p class="alert"><strong>GET A FREE SELF-TANNER! </strong>I''m giving away 50 (yes, FIFTY!) <a href="http://www.lorealparis.ca/_en/_ca/products/product-sheet.aspx?code=Sk9_12#tab:profits" target="_blank">L''Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzers</a> (read more about them <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/07/19/its-a-mega-giveaway-win-one-of-50-loreal-paris-sublime-bronze-luminous-bronzers/" target="_blank">here</a>).

As if that weren''t enough, try being a beauty editor: the pressure to have flawless skin (along with perfectly blown-out hair and manicured nails) is intense. As a result, I''ve tried more than my fair share of blemish-busting treatments (I won''t even get into the diet side of things—those are stories for another day). Here, a few of my favourite topical treatments:\n<h2>Avène Diacnéal Skincare Lotion</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/avene-diacneal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7251" title="avene-diacneal" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/avene-diacneal-196x300.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="300" /></a>\n\nIf you''ve got sensitive skin, start slowly with this cult-favourite acne cream (yes, it''s that powerful). Available at most drugstores, it dries up zits almost overnight, thanks to a combination of glycolic acid and retinaldehyde (which is in the retinoid family and speeds up exfoliation). It''s also paraben-free and non-comedogenic . Since it''s extremely drying, I save this one for emergencies only.\n<h2><strong>Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment</strong></h2>\n<strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/dermalogica-concealing-spot-treatment.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7252" title="dermalogica-concealing-spot-treatment" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/dermalogica-concealing-spot-treatment-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>\n</strong>\n\nI often wonder if what people use to camouflage their zits isn''t actually <em>causing</em> the problem. The solution? This new treatment, which simultaneously covers and treats blemishes. Dab it on spots before applying foundation and they might just be gone by the end of the day, thanks to ingredients like zinc oxide, salicylic acid and sulfur. I wasn''t sure I''d like the texture at first since it seems quite watery, but if you let it sit a minute it dries down nicely and covers well.\n\n<strong>UPDATE</strong>: I''ve decided I don''t like this product all that much. It seems to dry down to this crusty finish... not appealing.\n<h2>ilike Organic Skin Care Herbal Clay Spot Treatment</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/ilike-herbal-clay-spot-treatment.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7253" title="ilike-herbal-clay-spot-treatment" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/ilike-herbal-clay-spot-treatment.jpg" alt="" width="36" height="120" /></a>\n\nThis is like a clay mask in wand form, which works surprisingly well to dry up blemishes without causing the dreaded flakiness that plagues those of us with sensitive skin. I love that there are only three ingredients on the label: herbal clay, zinc oxide and clove oil. It also doubles as a concealer, although I haven''t tried it for that purpose yet.\n<h2>Laboratoire Remède Intensive Double Serum</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/laboratoire-remede-intensive-double-serum.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7254" title="laboratoire-remede-intensive-double-serum" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/laboratoire-remede-intensive-double-serum-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>\n\nThis is a new and improved version of one of my favourite acne treatments, the Double Oxygenating Booster. And hear this: nothing—I repeat, nothing—could dissolve a blemish faster than that stuff. (You could actually feel the product tingling, which was très satisfying.) The new version adds 10 percent vitamin C to the oxygenating active formula and can be used either all over the face under moisturizer, or as a spot treatment.\n<h2>Clear Clinical Acne Treatment Cream</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/clear-clinical-acne-treatment-cream.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7255" title="clear-clinical-acne-treatment-cream" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/clear-clinical-acne-treatment-cream-142x300.jpg" alt="" width="142" height="300" /></a>\n\nFormulated by Toronto dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett of <a href="http://www.dlkonavenue.com/" target="_blank">DLK on Avenue</a>, this 5 percent benzoyl peroxide cream is gentle enough to use all over your face, but still fight blemishes.

After several applications gone wrong—let''s just say more than a few so-called "artists" wanted to display their <em>entire collections</em> on my face—I established a general rule of always going DIY. (Similar to <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/04/29/truer-words-were-never-spoken/" target="_blank">my no-free-haircuts or colours rule</a>, which I actually broke recently, but thankfully, with good results. More on that soon!)\n\nAnyway, I''ve made a couple of exceptions with the makeup rule for some truly excellent artists that I thought I could learn something from. And I did:\n\nTakeaway #1 was that I should always line my eyes in navy blue, instead of black. Why? It''s less hard-looking but equally stunning, and I dare say adds a bit of <em>je ne sais quoi</em> to your look. (Black is so predictable, no?)\n\nPoint #2 that I picked up: use eyeshadow, not liner, for a longer-lasting application. One I''m liking right now is <a href="http://well.ca/beauty/products/loreal-paris-hip-metallic-duo_12578.html?related_product=12576?AFFID=BEAUTY" target="_blank">L’Oréal Paris''s new HIP High Intensity Pigments Metallic Eyeshadow Duo in Magnetic</a>. The label doesn''t say it''s waterproof, but it might as well be: this didn''t crease on me like 99% of all other eyeshadows. (The label DOES say it''s metallic, but if it''s there, it''s verrrrry subtle.)\n\nYou should also know about tip #3: apply it with a damp, angled brush. I spritz mine with an Evian atomiser (because I''m obnoxious like that), but you could also just pass it under running tap water and then pat it dry with a tissue. Either way, the dampness makes it easier to apply and is supposed to make the colour deeper and longer-lasting, too.', 'How-to: Apply eyeshadow as liner', '', 'trash', 'open', 'open', '', 'how-to-apply-eyeshadow-as-liner', '', '', '2011-10-25 13:51:41', '2011-10-25 13:51:41', '', 0, 'http://beautyeditor.ca/?p=2629', 0, 'post', '', 1);
