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!" And you will nonchalantly shrug and say, "Oh, this?

But you cannot argue with results. Inches are inches, and the Zerona removes inches, more than four inches on the "test" case we did for </em>The Doctors<em>. I have to say, I didn''t believe it at first either.</em></strong></p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>The Zerona laser simply shines a laser light upon the areas where the fat is to be reduced. The laser biochemically creates a "hole" in the cell wall of the lipocyte (fat cell), and the cell contents are spilled out into the space between the cells, where lymph resides. And just like with lymph, it is absorbed, and the waste is excreted from the body. Basically, the Zerona has been shown to reduce inches of fat by sucking the fat cells dry.</em></strong></p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>We will have to wait and see what the long term results are, but for now, the evidence shows that we have a new way to reduce figure flaws without surgery.</em></strong></p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>Dr. Drew Ordon</em></strong></p>\nAnd that''s what convinced me to give it a test drive at Dr. Stephen Mulholland''s <a href="http://www.spamedica.com/" target="_blank">SpaMedica</a> clinic in Toronto. Hopefully I''ll look like the photo above when I''m done.\n\nThere are going to be six treatments across the next two weeks, so I''m going to share with you the step-by-step in a series of posts.\n\nWhat I won''t be sharing, however, are any before and after pics! I hear from Janine from <a href="http://imabeautygeek.com/" target="_blank">Beautygeeks</a> that I''m going to be asked to slip into a paper thong today for some confidence-killing photos. Yikes!\n\nAnyway, stay tuned for more—I''ll be giving you all the deets plus a Q&amp;A I did with Dr. Mulholland. And feel free to ask anything else you want to know along the way. I''ll make sure your questions get answered too.\n\n<em>Disclaimer: Dr. Mulholland has very generously allowed me to do the series of treatments free of charge for this review. My thighs thank him.</em>', 'So today I start Zerona—a fat-burning laser treatment...', '<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).

For me it was almost never—based purely on the advice of one <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kevin-murphy/">Kevin Murphy</a> (yes, THE Kevin Murphy), who advised me during my last attempt to grow out my bangs that I should instead keep them, but angled and parted in the middle. (This served to only solidify <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/28/sienna-millers-new-bangs-i-think-ive-just-found-my-new-haircut/">my Sienna Miller hair obsession</a>, BTW.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I wore my hair like this, faithfully, for a really long time—until too many weeks passed between bang trims and I was forced to change tactics. That''s how I rocked up at <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/27/the-importance-of-finding-your-life-cut-plus-other-random-bits-of-hair-wisdom-from-my-mane-man-bill-angst/">my hairdresser Bill Angst''s place</a> with a deep side part. And he liked it so much that he pronounced it my New Look.\r\n\r\nSo now I''m not getting bang trims anymore—I''m growing them—and while this happens I''m officially on Team Deep Side Part. I think I''m in good company because <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/emma-stone/">Emma Stone</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kirsten-dunst/">Kirsten Dunst</a> are there with me too. But as you know, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/09/14/new-york-ss-12-okay-im-swooning-over-the-hair-at-dkny-soft-waves-and-oscar-de-la-renta-wild-curls-and-so-will-you/">on the runways</a>, the centre part still ruled for spring... and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/gwyneth-paltrow/">Gwyneth Paltrow</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cameron-diaz/">Cameron Diaz</a> are wearing it well. Come look at all the pics and then tell me which, um, <em>side</em> you''re on. (Get it?) <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Emma Stone''s 1930s glam</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19354" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''ll take any excuse to post an Emma Stone photo, but these are especially gratifying—I know we''re not really talking about makeup today, but I can''t think of any other young celeb who does the bright lip thing so well. (It''s <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/revlon/">Revlon</a>, by the way—Emma is their new global brand ambassador—and I raved about this very lipstick <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/15/sneak-peek-revlon-colorburst-lipstick/">right here</a>. The shade is Coral and <a href="http://well.ca/products/revlon-colorburst_25557.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">you can buy it from Well.ca for $9.95</a> with free shipping in Canada and no minimum order. Coolness!)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I sadly don''t have any specific intel or how-tos on the hair... but I DO think it''s a perfect example of the new, modern way to wear waves. I don''t think I need to mention for the 527th time how bored I am with those piecey, dropped-out flat iron curls that everyone wears. But I will, because those usually come with a centre part, see. Here, you could do the exact same type of curls, but just switching up the part—and pushing everything over one shoulder—gives it an entirely fresh look.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that is great about this style is that if you''re at that annoying in-between stage with your bangs (as I am), it''s a great way to disguise them.\r\n\r\nAside: please notice the nails:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19355" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" width="600" height="400" /></a>\r\n\r\nDid I not say that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%e2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">matchy-matchy lips and nails</a> are making a comeback? Well they are.\r\n<h2>Kirsten Dunst''s elegant waves</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19357" title="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg" alt="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI don''t think we''ve seen Kirsten look this good in a very long time. (She IS <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/05/18/cannes-11-kirsten-dunst-is-girl-hot-bar-refaeli-is-boy-hot-lets-talk-about-the-difference%E2%80%94and-which-one-you-aspire-to/">our Girl Hot poster child</a>, after all, and that never really translates for the red carpet.) I did a double take when I saw her because the hair just makes her look so grown-up and polished. It''s a simple switch, but see how flattering it is? You get to show off your neck and cheekbones on one side, but then there is the mysterious dip over the other side to bring the seksi. It works! A quick tong with a curling iron and you can get that perfect wave at the front.\r\n\r\nWANT.\r\n\r\nBut now let''s go check out the middle-part crew...\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19358" title="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" width="600" height="600" /></a>\r\n\r\nOh HAI! Don''t mind us—we''re just being all glowy and shiny and famous.\r\n<h2>Gwyneth Paltrow''s super-straight locks</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19360" title="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn general, centre parts are a little harder to wear than side ones—because there''s less hair on your face to hide behind—but I think Gwyneth pulls this off well. It''s a simple look, very fresh, and in a way makes her look younger because it''s just so simple and un-styled. If I had one complaint, though (and <a href="beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/11/got-fine-straight-long-hair-like-naomi-watts-dont-listen-to-silly-hairdressers-who-want-to-layer-it/">you knew this was coming</a>), it''s the ends of her hair. She always gets them cut in a very shattered sort of way. I understand this, because her hair is naturally quite thick and wavy and it probably removes a lot of the bulk.

So. Foxy. Not only does Christina play my favourite character on my favourite show, but she''s single-handedly redefining what it is to be beautiful these days (i.e. voluptuous and pale instead of tanned, blonde and stick-thin).\n\nTake note of a few key beauty points that we can learn from Ms. Hendricks here:\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Clearly, she avoids the sun like the plague.</strong> Although we''ve spent decades focused solely on wrinkles, SKIN TONE is the new kid on the block. You just can''t get this kind of luminosity if you''re into sunbathing. So wear your SPF (a natural one, please) and check out products that target hyperpigmentation. (My current favourite: <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/31/how-to-treat-oily-skin-hormonal-acne-and-post-acne-marks/">Lumixyl</a>.)</li>\n	<li><strong>The HAIR.</strong> It''s a vibrant, flaming red, for sure—but it''s also tasteful and believable. (She''s naturally a dark blonde.) Don''t try to DIY to get this look, and even choose your colourist with caution. Red fades fast too, so stock up on hair products that are designed to keep your colour (look for colour-protective ones instead of hydrating ones—<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">as I noted here</a>, too much hydration can disperse the dye molecules).</li>\n	<li><strong>The bronzey eyeshadow.</strong> If you want to make your eye colour pop, wear an eyeshadow in the opposite colour. (Remember the colour wheel?) This bronze shade perfectly compliments her blue eyes and also picks up the tones of her hair.</li>\n	<li><strong>The curls.</strong> I''m not skilled (or patient) enough to do this myself, but I''m guessing they were done with an actual curling iron instead of the flat irons that are <em>de rigueur</em> these days. How do I know? Notice that the curls are a bit tighter and start high up on the head, unlike flat iron curls, which are more loose and dropped-out. Also very important: the ends aren''t curled under (this is the key to modern-looking curls).</li>\n</ol>\nDo you love Christina Hendricks as much as I do? Honestly, even though I just went back to blonde highlights (and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">Charles Baker Strahan</a> told me I couldn''t do red), I REALLY want her hair colour.

So. Foxy. Not only does Christina play my favourite character on my favourite show, but she''s single-handedly redefining what it is to be beautiful these days (i.e. voluptuous and pale instead of tanned, blonde and stick-thin).\n\nTake note of a few key beauty points that we can learn from Ms. Hendricks here:\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Clearly, she avoids the sun like the plague.</strong> Although we''ve spent decades focused solely on wrinkles, SKIN TONE is the new kid on the block. You just can''t get this kind of luminosity if you''re into sunbathing. So wear your SPF (a natural one, please) and check out products that target hyperpigmentation. (My current favourite: <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/31/how-to-treat-oily-skin-hormonal-acne-and-post-acne-marks/">Lumixyl</a>.)</li>\n	<li><strong>The HAIR.</strong> It''s a vibrant, flaming red, for sure—but it''s also tasteful and believable. (She''s naturally a dark blonde.) Don''t try to DIY to get this look, and even choose your colourist with caution. Red fades fast too, so stock up on hair products that are designed to keep your colour (look for colour-protective ones instead of hydrating ones—<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">as I noted here</a>, too much hydration can disperse the dye molecules).</li>\n	<li><strong>The bronzey eyeshadow.</strong> If you want to make your eye colour pop, wear an eyeshadow in the opposite colour. (Remember the colour wheel?) This bronze shade perfectly compliments her blue eyes and also picks up the tones of her hair.</li>\n	<li><strong>The curls.</strong> I''m not skilled (or patient) enough to do this myself, but I''m guessing they were done with an actual curling iron instead of the flat irons that are <em>de rigueur</em> these days. How do I know? Notice that the curls are a bit tighter and start high up on the head, unlike flat iron curls, which are more loose and dropped-out. Also very important: the ends aren''t curled under (this is the key to modern-looking curls).</li>\n</ol>\nDo you love Christina Hendricks as much as I do? Honestly, even though I just went back to blonde highlights (and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">Charles Baker Strahan</a> told me I couldn''t do red), I REALLY want her hair colour.

So. Foxy. Not only does Christina play my favourite character on my favourite show, but she''s single-handedly redefining what it is to be beautiful these days (i.e. voluptuous and pale instead of tanned, blonde and stick-thin).\n\nTake note of a few key beauty points that we can learn from Ms. Hendricks here:\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Clearly, she avoids the sun like the plague.</strong> Although we''ve spent decades focused solely on wrinkles, SKIN TONE is the new kid on the block. You just can''t get this kind of luminosity if you''re into sunbathing. So wear your SPF (a natural one, please) and check out products that target hyperpigmentation. (My current favourite: <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/31/how-to-treat-oily-skin-hormonal-acne-and-post-acne-marks/">Lumixyl</a>.)</li>\n	<li><strong>The HAIR.</strong> It''s a vibrant, flaming red, for sure—but it''s also tasteful and believable. (She''s naturally a dark blonde.) Don''t try to DIY to get this look, and even choose your colourist with caution. Red fades fast too, so stock up on hair products that are designed to keep your colour (look for colour-protective ones instead of hydrating ones—<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">as I noted here</a>, too much hydration can disperse the dye molecules).</li>\n	<li><strong>The bronzey eyeshadow.</strong> If you want to make your eye colour pop, wear an eyeshadow in the opposite colour. (Remember the colour wheel?) This bronze shade perfectly compliments her blue eyes and also picks up the tones of her hair.</li>\n	<li><strong>The curls.</strong> I''m not skilled (or patient) enough to do this myself, but I''m guessing they were done with an actual curling iron instead of the flat irons that are <em>de rigueur</em> these days. How do I know? Notice that the curls are a bit tighter and start high up on the head, unlike flat iron curls, which are more loose and dropped-out. Also very important: the ends aren''t curled under (this is the key to modern-looking curls).</li>\n</ol>\nDo you love Christina Hendricks as much as I do? Honestly, even though I just went back to blonde highlights (and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/03/16/how-to-do-a-side-braid-or-updo/">Charles Baker Strahan</a> told me I couldn''t do red), I REALLY want her hair colour. And skin.

It''s no big deal at all. I''d heard stories of people trying out fat-reducing treatments where the spa SAID it wouldn''t hurt... but it, in fact, DID hurt—A LOT—and they emerged with welts all over the treated area. (Not to point fingers, but I <em>think </em>that happened with UltraShape.)\r\n\r\nThere''s none of that here. Trust me—with Zerona, you don''t feel a single thing.\r\n\r\nHere''s how it all goes down (with pics!): <!--more-->\r\n\r\nFirst, you''re escorted into the treatment room and told to strip down to the dreaded <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/07/my-review-of-zerona-the-pre-treatment-photos-measurements-and-paper-panties/">paper thong</a> again. (By now, we''re quite well-acquainted.) You''re also given a pair of protective sunglasses to wear, which is standard for any laser treatment, since exposure to the laser light can harm your eyes.\r\n\r\nThere''s a treatment bed in the room that looks like this (although it won''t be all rumpled—it''s only like that because I took this photo after my session):\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-bed.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8788" title="zerona-treatment-bed" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-treatment-bed.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nOnce you''ve undressed, you lie down. I usually start on my stomach, so I can read, although it''s a bit awkward because you have to hold your arms out to the side so the machine can get at the maximum surface area. Oh, and you actually have to slip out of your bra as well. Fun fact: it penetrates paper but not clothing. So unless you''ve got a paper bra hanging around... off it goes.\r\n\r\nThen your medical esthetician comes in and wheels the machine over. It looks like this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-device-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8789" title="zerona-device-1" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-device-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-device-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8790" title="zerona-device-2" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/zerona-device-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe device has to be positioned so all the heads (there are four) are about six inches away from your body, all hovering around your trunk area. Once it''s in place, your esthetician leaves the room and you just lie there for 20 minutes while little red laser beams circle around your body.\r\n\r\nAfter 20 minutes passes, your esthetician comes back again to flip you over to the other side for another 20 minutes. Note: on your back, you have to be topless with your arms up, so really the only thing you can do is snooze. And yes, it''s a little weird to be lying there practically naked, but the ladies are VERY discreet. (And for people in that business, you''re just another body, right? They really don''t care about your cellulite.)\r\n\r\nAnd that''s the whole process! Again—it''s painless and you feel nothing at all. There could be worse ways to drop a few pounds, yes?\r\n\r\nMid-way through the treatments is another measuring session, so I''ll share results of that next time—hopefully I''ll get some results!\r\n\r\nAs always, drop me a line in the comments if there''s anything you''re curious about or that I haven''t covered yet and you want me to find out.', 'Zerona review: My first two sessions', '<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 first appointment for <a href="http://www.myzerona.com/" target="_blank">Zerona</a>—the series of fat-burning laser treatments I''m trialling at <a href="http://www.spamedica.com/" target="_blank">SpaMedica</a> in Toronto (if you''re just joining us, read more about it <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/30/so-today-i-start-zerona%E2%80%94a-fat-burning-laser-treatment/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/04/my-review-of-zerona-a-qa-with-dr-stephen-mulholland-of-spamedica-in-toronto/" target="_blank">here</a>)—involved a pair of these. <!--more-->\n\nOh yes. 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.

For me it was almost never—based purely on the advice of one <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kevin-murphy/">Kevin Murphy</a> (yes, THE Kevin Murphy), who advised me during my last attempt to grow out my bangs that I should instead keep them, but angled and parted in the middle. (This served to only solidify <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/28/sienna-millers-new-bangs-i-think-ive-just-found-my-new-haircut/">my Sienna Miller hair obsession</a>, BTW.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I wore my hair like this, faithfully, for a really long time—until too many weeks passed between bang trims and I was forced to change tactics. That''s how I rocked up at <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/27/the-importance-of-finding-your-life-cut-plus-other-random-bits-of-hair-wisdom-from-my-mane-man-bill-angst/">my hairdresser Bill Angst''s place</a> with a deep side part.

Keeping up with the ''big four'' Fashion Weeks (<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/2012-spring-fashion-week/">New York, London, Milan and Paris</a>) is always daunting—there are the endless tweets to read, livestreams to watch and photo galleries to click through. And that''s just to check out the hair and makeup! Now that Paris has wrapped up and we''re just about to head into Toronto (come on, you can do it!), I''ve had a chance to get a closer look at an emerging Fashion Week beauty category: nail art! Here are the top 10 manicures I''m obsessing over right now. <!--more-->\r\n<h2>1.<strong>The Ombré Mani at Jen Kao:</strong></h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19379" title="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis past summer, there was an insane number of girls rocking their roots for the Ombré hair trend... and I’m here to say, dear hipsters, it’s over, done and (fingers crossed) dead. (Michelle did declare its 15 minutes were up <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/05/ombre-hair-colour-your-15-minutes-are-up-at-least-on-my-head-heres-why-i-ditched-it/">way back in January</a>.) But these Ombré nails from <a href="htp://beautyeditor.ca/tag/jen-kao/">Jen Kao</a> are a whole different story. I love the way the electric blue pops on the black base. Plus, I think this could be a pretty easy DIY job—no precision or clean lines necessary.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> mixed BlackJack and Inkwell for the base and then layered Anchor Blue on top.\r\n<h2>2. The Striped Mani at Gareth Pugh:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19381" title="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI’m a total sucker for stripes, so when I saw these digits I was instantly drawn in. They’re extra-large, cover the nail bad AND part of the finger, and have an exaggerated almond shape. In other words, they’re completely impractical. But if you toned down the size, I think this could make for a super-chic mani.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> Custom Minx Nails.\r\n<h2>3.  The Mini Silhouette Mani at Prabal Gurung:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19382" title="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nOkay, so this is definitely one of the looks I''ll painstakingly try to do myself—I''m thinking a lot of tape and 3-hole punch reinforcements will be involved. It''s as if you''ve painted your nails once and then double-dipped them, leaving a thin frame around the edge of the bed.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/sally-hansen/">Sally Hansen</a> in Lacy Lilac for the base and topped with Loves-Me-Not.\r\n<h2>4. The Checkerboard Mani at Nicole Miller:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19383" title="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe number of colour combos I could do with this mani are endless. How awesome would a checkerboard look with contrasting matte and glossy squares? The pattern is simple, so it doesn''t read obnoxious or too juvenile.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> Raspberry Parfait and a custom blue made by mixing Anchor Blue, Dark Ruby, Electric Purple and a blue pigment. Topped with one layer of Ice Blue Shimmer.\r\n<h2>5. The Talon Mani at Cushnie et Ochs:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19384" title="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen I think of stiletto-like nails, someone dressed in a bad <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/lady-gaga/">Lady Gaga</a> costume usually comes to mind. But here, I have to say, they kind of appeal to me. Maybe it''s the neutral colour doing it, but this version seems less scary and way more wearable.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/dashing-diva/">Dashing Diva</a> in in Mr.Right, mixed with mineral makeup to match the model''s skin tone.\r\n<h2>6. The V-Shaped Half-Moon Mani at Pamela Love:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19385" title="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe half-moon manicure has been kicking around for a few seasons now and though it''s still a fave of mine, I''m glad to see it with a new edge. Love''s collection was inspired by bohemian Morocco and by squaring off the nail tips,  the look feels very tribal.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/essie/">Essie</a> Topless and Barefoot for the base and Little Brown Dress for the rest of the nail bed.\r\n<h2>7. The Gold Metallic Mani at Lela Rose:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19386" title="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nGlittery gold polishes were seen on a bunch of runway digits during the spring ''12 shows (whether as an accent, half-moon or for modern tips). A shimmering gold-beige metallic mani is universally flattering, because it pulls out both gold and silver tones—making it warm AND cool, at the same time. Besides, who doesn''t like to look at shiny things all day?\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/deborah-lippmann/">Deborah Lippmann</a> in Believe.\r\n<h2>8. The Classic Red Mani at Jason Wu:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19387" title="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nRed will always be a mainstay, but to me the same-old, same-old can get a bit boring. The orangey-tomato hue (it almost looks coral) is so vibrant and bright, I can''t help but smile.  I''m also really into the slight almond shape going on here. And if you''re digging the matchy-matchy lip colour, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%E2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">check out this similar look at Dior</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/opi/">OPI</a> in Monsooner or Later.\r\n<h2>9. The Lucite and Lace Mani at Joy Cioci:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19388" title="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nYup, those are clear falsies with lace detailing you''re witnessing.

(18532, 1, '2011-10-14 19:13:04', '2011-10-14 19:13:04', 'I don''t know about you, but for me September was one big blur. Keeping up with the ''big four'' Fashion Weeks (<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/2012-spring-fashion-week/">New York, London, Milan and Paris</a>) is always daunting—there are the endless tweets to read, livestreams to watch and photo galleries to click through. And that''s just to check out the hair and makeup! Now that Paris has wrapped up and we''re just about to head into Toronto (come on, you can do it!), I''ve had a chance to get a closer look at an emerging Fashion Week beauty category: nail art! Here are the top 10 manicures I''m obsessing over right now. <!--more-->\n<h2>1.<strong>The Ombré Mani at Jen Kao:</strong></h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19379" title="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\n\nThis past summer, there was an insane number of girls rocking their roots for the Ombré hair trend... and I’m here to say, dear hipsters, it’s over, done and (fingers crossed) dead. (Michelle did declare its 15 minutes were up <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/05/ombre-hair-colour-your-15-minutes-are-up-at-least-on-my-head-heres-why-i-ditched-it/">way back in January</a>.) But these Ombré nails from <a href="htp://beautyeditor.ca/tag/jen-kao/">Jen Kao</a> are a whole different story. I love the way the electric blue pops on the black base. Plus, I think this could be a pretty easy DIY job—no precision or clean lines necessary.\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> mixed BlackJack and Inkwell for the base and then layered Anchor Blue on top.\n<h2>2. The Striped Mani at Gareth Pugh:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19381" title="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\n\nI’m a total sucker for stripes, so when I saw these digits I was instantly drawn in. They’re extra-large, cover the nail bad AND part of the finger, and have an exaggerated almond shape. In other words, they’re completely impractical. But if you toned down the size, I think this could make for a super-chic mani.\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> Custom Minx Nails.\n<h2>3.  The Mini Silhouette Mani at Prabal Gurung:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19382" title="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nOkay, so this is definitely one of the looks I''ll painstakingly try to do myself—I''m thinking a lot of tape and 3-hole punch reinforcements will be involved. It''s as if you''ve painted your nails once and then double-dipped them, leaving a thin frame around the edge of the bed.\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/sally-hansen/">Sally Hansen</a> in Lacy Lilac for the base and topped with Loves-Me-Not.\n<h2>4. The Checkerboard Mani at Nicole Miller:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19383" title="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\n\nThe number of colour combos I could do with this mani are endless. How awesome would a checkerboard look with contrasting matte and glossy squares? The pattern is simple, so it doesn''t read obnoxious or too juvenile.\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> Raspberry Parfait and a custom blue made by mixing Anchor Blue, Dark Ruby, Electric Purple and a blue pigment. Topped with one layer of Ice Blue Shimmer.\n<h2>5. The Talon Mani at Cushnie et Ochs:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19384" title="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nWhen I think of stiletto-like nails, someone dressed in a bad <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/lady-gaga/">Lady Gaga</a> costume usually comes to mind. But here, I have to say, they kind of appeal to me. Maybe it''s the neutral colour doing it, but this version seems less scary and way more wearable.\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/dashing-diva/">Dashing Diva</a> in in Mr.Right, mixed with mineral makeup to match the model''s skin tone.\n<h2>6. The V-Shaped Half-Moon Mani at Pamela Love:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19385" title="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nThe half-moon manicure has been kicking around for a few seasons now and though it''s still a fave of mine, I''m glad to see it with a new edge. Love''s collection was inspired by bohemian Morocco and by squaring off the nail tips,  the look feels very tribal.\n\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/essie/">Essie</a> Topless and Barefoot for the base and Little Brown Dress for the rest of the nail bed.\n<h2>7. The Gold Metallic Mani at Lela Rose:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19386" title="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\n\nGlittery gold polishes were seen on a bunch of runway digits during the spring ''12 shows (whether as an accent, half-moon or for modern tips). A shimmering gold-beige metallic mani is universally flattering, because it pulls out both gold and silver tones—making it warm AND cool, at the same time. Besides, who doesn''t like to look at shiny things all day?\n\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/deborah-lippmann/">Deborah Lippmann</a> in Believe.\n<h2>8. The Classic Red Mani at Jason Wu:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19387" title="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nRed will always be a mainstay, but to me the same-old, same-old can get a bit boring. The orangey-tomato hue (it almost looks coral) is so vibrant and bright, I can''t help but smile.  I''m also really into the slight almond shape going on here. And if you''re digging the matchy-matchy lip colour, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%E2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">check out this similar look at Dior</a>.\n\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/opi/">OPI</a> in Monsooner or Later.\n<h2>9. The Lucite and Lace Mani at Joy Cioci:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19388" title="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\n\nYup, those are clear falsies with lace detailing you''re witnessing. While the lattice work is really pretty, for real life not all of us will want to commit to wearing a clear tip.\n\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> clear tips and hand-crafted lattice work.\n<h2>10. The Nude Mani at VPL:</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19390" title="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\n\nThe nude mani trend doesn''t seem to be losing steam—a good thing for me, because I just hopped onto the bandwagon (for now at least). VPL''s collection was all about the bod and in keeping with that theme, nails were simply in the buff.\n\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/butter-london/">Butter London</a> nail foundation as a base and topped with Tea with the Queen.\n\n<strong><em>Nicole Pajak is a Toronto-based writer.

(18533, 1, '2011-10-14 19:15:38', '2011-10-14 19:15:38', 'So I just returned from a quick trip to New York City—and while <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/06/24/what-a-beauty-editor-packs-when-all-her-products-need-to-fit-into-carry-on-luggage/">it''s tough for a beauty editor to whittle down her toiletries into a quart-sized plastic bag on a good day</a>, this time was particularly heart-wrenching. Why? Because I''m testing a new skincare range right now that I am Totally.Obsessed.With. And I just didn''t have the space to lug all seven bottles (!) with me.\r\n\r\nThe fact that I''ve dedicated myself to following a regimen is a pretty big deal, because as you know, I love to dabble. Facialists are always frustrated with me whenever they ask what I use on my skin, because I can''t even tell them. It changes on a daily basis according to what''s arrived on my desk, what I discover at the back of my medicine cabinet and frankly, what I feel like giving to my skin, whether it''s a lightweight hydrating gel or a moisture-rich leave-on night mask.\r\n\r\nThe only thing that will keep my ADD brain attached to a regimen is results. And so today I''m going to tell you about not one but two lines that—no lie!—really deliver. But first, a word about whether you actually NEED to use skincare products from the same brand, or if that''s just marketing BS... <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14121" title="medicine cabinet" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg" alt="medicine cabinet" width="500" height="667" /></a>\r\n\r\nI get asked this question a lot, and the answer is that it depends. Sure, it''s nice to have all matching jars to display in your bathroom if you''re borderline obsessive-compulsive about such things like I am. And it''s obviously a good thing for people who are new to skincare and/or just want a routine that they can follow-on auto-pilot. But for the true skincare junkie (and we''re a growing group, thanks to the ability to research this shiz on the Interwebs), the sales pitch about using everything from a single line is met with mucho skepticism. Aren''t they just trying to upsell us more prodz than we wanted to buy?\r\n\r\nWell, yes and no. It''s really no big deal to mix and match your stuff if you''re talking about very basic cleansers and moisturizers that are meant to hydrate the skin and not much else. But once you start to add active ingredients, it''s a whole different story. Using certain actives at the same time can diminish their effectiveness and can even cause irritation. The main problem ingredients are <strong>hydroxy acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic...)</strong> and<strong> retinoids (retinol, Retin-A and other vitamin A derivatives)</strong>. You''re not supposed to use them at the same time, even though exfoliating before you apply an active ingredient is generally a good idea, since it improves penetration. It can be difficult to avoid overlap, too, because these days pretty much every skincare item you can buy—moisturizers, serums, toners and even cleansers—has built-in actives. Then there is the whole sun question. Obviously, you need to be applying sun protection anyway, but certain prodz with antioxidants can break down in sunlight if you apply them in the morning, and retinoids are best applied at night since they can make your skin more sun-sensitive.\r\n\r\nGah! It''s all so confusing, right? The best advice I can give is to either use a single skincare line OR carefully check the labels on your products to make sure you''re only using<strong> one active at a time</strong>. If you''re not sure, try and wait as long as you can before layering products to let the first layer absorb (ideally 10 minutes or more). Or try and check with your derm, if you can. (I''ve often said that there is a HUGE need for some kind of intermediary skincare consultant who could make home visits to evaluate our products and tell us what to use and when, and what to toss. Come to think of it, that''d be a great idea for makeup, too.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, since I am, for maybe the first time in my life, on board with the idea of having a daily regimen, let me tell you about what I''ve been loving lately.\r\n<h2>My current obsession: Miracle10</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19433" title="Miracle10" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg" alt="Miracle10" width="408" height="306" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis line was developed by Canadian plastic surgeon Frank Lista, who has been treating his patients with it since 2005. I know this is going to sound crazy but—for my skin it really has been kind of miraculous.\r\n\r\nAbout a month ago, the Toronto beauty crowd were invited to the Miracle10 "boutique" (at Dr. Lista''s plastic surgery centre in Yorkville) and we each had our skin diagnosed before being set up with the appropriate products. You see, what I like about this line is that it''s not a one-size-fits-all deal. They''ve come up with three main groups of skin types, and then within each of those there are two sub-groups—so there are six possible product combinations. Type No. 1 is for normal and maturing skin, Type No. 2 is for acne-prone and oily skin and Type No. 3 is for delicate and dry skin. I was set up with the delicate routine—for "lighter, fairer skin types that are often sensitive to the sun, chemicals, fragrances, dyes, foods, rough fabrics, etc." and "may react with redness, burning and itching to active ingredients." The products claim to not only bring clarity and radiance but actually NORMALIZE the skin so that you can eventually move up to more intensive treatments.\r\n\r\nNow, anyone who reads here knows that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">I swear by cod liver oil for anything skin-related</a> and that it has been absolutely magical for eradicating breakouts and giving my complexion a glow. But despite that, I would still get the odd stress- or period-related pimple and a few of those annoying little milia spots on my cheeks and forehead. Since I started on Miracle10—and I am not kidding—I have not had a single spot and I think those milia might be gradually diminishing.\r\n\r\nI was chatting about the brand with some fellow beauty eds in NYC, and one mentioned that it was good "but nothing ground-breaking." This may be true—the workhouse is, I believe, the AHA cream that you use nightly and not some new-fangled peptide—but I don''t care. For me, it''s working. My routine consists of a cleanser, toner and eye cream, and then I use slightly different treatment products on top of that. In the morning, it''s just a lightweight serum—which is FABULOUS because I always find prodz geared toward sensitive skin to be too greasy—and then at night I mix an antioxidant vitamin C powder with the AHA cream before putting a very light, hyaluronic-based night cream on top. I was surprised by how much you can really feel the lactic acid-based AHA cream tingle, so if you like to know your products are working, this will be terrifically satisfying for you. But if you''re super-duper sensitive, it could be too much for you...\r\n\r\nAnother downside is that there''s no sunscreen in this range, so you''ll need to wear makeup that includes it on top, and stay out of direct sunlight in general. (If you are going to be outside for long periods, I''d definitely top up with <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">one of these.</a>) You can find out more about Miracle10 at miracle10.com. They sell the products online and at the Toronto boutique, and I''m told we''ll soon see them at a major Canadian retailer too.\r\n<h2>Also impressive: SkinCeuticals</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19435" title="SkinCeuticals" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg" alt="SkinCeuticals" width="452" height="200" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''m a longtime SkinCeuticals fan, actually, and you''ll know this because I''ve already raved about their amazing antioxidant serums <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/02/oh-look%E2%80%94its-a-list-of-the-beauty-products-gwyneth-paltrow-really-uses-and-she-has-great-taste-natch/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">here</a>. But in an effort to get beauty editors to really know the brand, this summer they invited us for skincare consults, just like the Miracle10 people. Now, I''ve gotta say—this consultation was a little more traumatic. I had to stick my face in a black light box to show the woman how much sun damage I accumulated from my years of living in Australia. I learned that I''m basically covered in freckles and it''s only a matter of time before they take over. Sob. But it''s not surprising that this bothered her, because if I had to generalize, I''d say that SkinCeuticals'' main area of expertise is in wrinkle and pigmentation issues. Both preventing them (with antioxidants) and now treating them (they have two different retinols and a new product called Pigment Regulator).\r\n\r\nDerms definitely love the stuff, although compared to Miracle10, they''re a little less regimented about the prodz they set you up with. There are a couple of cleansers to choose from (regular or gentle) and three different serums—I''m a candidate for Phloretin CF, which is lighter than CE Ferulic and is the one I talked about in <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">this vid</a>. But as far as treatment products go, the SkinCeuticals expert was not only bothered by my freckly bits but also the aforementioned milia—and told me that I needed to get the latter under control before I could treat the former. I guess that makes sense, so I was instructed to use the Clarifying Clay Masque a few times a week, a retinol at night and then just the hyaluronic acid-based Hydrating B5 Gel as my moisturizer. In the mornings, I used their sunscreen, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">which I praised here</a>, on top.\r\n\r\nI followed this routine for a few weeks in the summer before I ran out (since I was just using sample sizes) and then Miracle10 came along and I switched. Did I get better results with Miracle10? Honestly, yes—and that''s because I think my skin needed the extra exfoliating powers of the daily AHA cream to "normalize" it, prevent breakouts and milia. For me, wrinkles and pigmentation just aren''t as pressing concerns as these things. (To be fair, my SkinCeuticals "diagnosis" didn''t include anything for exfoliation, so I have to wonder if I''d have different results by adding their Retexturizing Activator into the routine. I''ll definitely look into that once my Miracle10 prodz run out.)\r\n\r\nBut don''t get me wrong—I still think SkinCeuticals is an incredible skincare line; it''s just that it seems more geared to people who want to treat and prevent the signs of aging (and with the latest, most advanced ingredient combinations). Also, while I love the dramatic texture changes I''m experiencing with Miracle10, the lack of a sunscreen in that line is a bit problematic, so I''d feel more comfortable using <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">SkinCeuticals'' antioxidant and sunscreen combination</a> in warmer weather, if I was outside a lot or if sun damage was my number one concern.\r\n\r\nYou can find a SkinCeuticals retailer in your area by visiting <a href="http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/myskinceutical/locate_professional_ca.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.\r\n\r\nSo—in a nutshell? Both great lines, both worth checking out. Which one you choose all depends on what bothers you most with your skin.

(18534, 1, '2011-10-14 19:15:11', '2011-10-14 19:15:11', 'So I just returned from a quick trip to New York City—and while <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/06/24/what-a-beauty-editor-packs-when-all-her-products-need-to-fit-into-carry-on-luggage/">it''s tough for a beauty editor to whittle down her toiletries into a quart-sized plastic bag on a good day</a>, this time was particularly heart-wrenching. Why? Because I''m testing a new skincare range right now that I am Totally.Obsessed.With. And I just didn''t have the space to lug all seven bottles (!) with me.\n\nThe fact that I''ve dedicated myself to following a regimen is a pretty big deal, because as you know, I love to dabble. Facialists are always frustrated with me whenever they ask what I use on my skin, because I can''t even tell them. It changes on a daily basis according to what''s arrived on my desk, what I discover at the back of my medicine cabinet and frankly, what I feel like giving to my skin, whether it''s a lightweight hydrating gel or a moisture-rich leave-on night mask.\n\nThe only thing that will keep my ADD brain attached to a regimen is results. And so today I''m going to tell you about not one but two lines that—no lie!—really deliver. But first, a word about whether you actually NEED to use skincare products from the same brand, or if that''s just marketing BS... <!--more-->\n<h2>Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14121" title="medicine cabinet" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg" alt="medicine cabinet" width="500" height="667" /></a>\n\nI get asked this question a lot, and the answer is that it depends. Sure, it''s nice to have all matching jars to display in your bathroom if you''re borderline obsessive-compulsive about such things like I am. And it''s obviously a good thing for people who are new to skincare and/or just want a routine that they can follow-on auto-pilot. But for the true skincare junkie (and we''re a growing group, thanks to the ability to research this shiz on the Interwebs), the sales pitch about using everything from a single line is met with mucho skepticism. Aren''t they just trying to upsell us more prodz than we wanted to buy?\n\nWell, yes and no. It''s really no big deal to mix and match your stuff if you''re talking about very basic cleansers and moisturizers that are meant to hydrate the skin and not much else. But once you start to add active ingredients, it''s a whole different story. Using certain actives at the same time can diminish their effectiveness and can even cause irritation. The main problem ingredients are <strong>hydroxy acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic...)</strong> and<strong> retinoids (retinol, Retin-A and other vitamin A derivatives)</strong>. You''re not supposed to use them at the same time, even though exfoliating before you apply an active ingredient is generally a good idea, since it improves penetration. It can be difficult to avoid overlap, too, because these days pretty much every skincare item you can buy—moisturizers, serums, toners and even cleansers—has built-in actives. Then there is the whole sun question. Obviously, you need to be applying sun protection anyway, but certain prodz with antioxidants can break down in sunlight if you apply them in the morning, and retinoids are best applied at night since they can make your skin more sun-sensitive.\n\nGah! It''s all so confusing, right? The best advice I can give is to either use a single skincare line OR carefully check the labels on your products to make sure you''re only using<strong> one active at a time</strong>. If you''re not sure, try and wait as long as you can before layering products to let the first layer absorb (ideally 10 minutes or more). Or try and check with your derm, if you can. (I''ve often said that there is a HUGE need for some kind of intermediary skincare consultant who could make home visits to evaluate our products and tell us what to use and when, and what to toss. Come to think of it, that''d be a great idea for makeup, too.)\n\nAnyway, since I am, for maybe the first time in my life, on board with the idea of having a daily regimen, let me tell you about what I''ve been loving lately.\n<h2>My current obsession: Miracle10</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19433" title="Miracle10" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg" alt="Miracle10" width="408" height="306" /></a>\n\nThis line was developed by Canadian plastic surgeon Frank Lista, who has been treating his patients with it since 2005. I know this is going to sound crazy but—for my skin it really has been kind of miraculous.\n\nAbout a month ago, the Toronto beauty crowd were invited to the Miracle10 "boutique" (at Dr. Lista''s plastic surgery centre in Yorkville) and we each had our skin diagnosed before being set up with the appropriate products. You see, what I like about this line is that it''s not a one-size-fits-all deal. They''ve come up with three main groups of skin types, and then within each of those there are two sub-groups—so there are six possible product combinations. Type No. 1 is for normal and maturing skin, Type No. 2 is for acne-prone and oily skin and Type No. 3 is for delicate and dry skin. I was set up with the delicate routine—for "lighter, fairer skin types that are often sensitive to the sun, chemicals, fragrances, dyes, foods, rough fabrics, etc." and "may react with redness, burning and itching to active ingredients." The products claim to not only bring clarity and radiance but actually NORMALIZE the skin so that you can eventually move up to more intensive treatments.\n\nNow, anyone who reads here knows that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">I swear by cod liver oil for anything skin-related</a> and that it has been absolutely magical for eradicating breakouts and giving my complexion a glow. But despite that, I would still get the odd stress- or period-related pimple and a few of those annoying little milia spots on my cheeks and forehead. Since I started on Miracle10—and I am not kidding—I have not had a single spot and I think those milia might be gradually diminishing.\n\nI was chatting about the brand with some fellow beauty eds in NYC, and one mentioned that it was good "but nothing ground-breaking." This may be true—the workhouse is, I believe, the AHA cream that you use nightly and not some new-fangled peptide—but I don''t care. For me, it''s working. My routine consists of a cleanser, toner and eye cream, and then I use slightly different treatment products on top of that. In the morning, it''s just a lightweight serum—which is FABULOUS because I always find prodz geared toward sensitive skin to be too greasy—and then at night I mix an antioxidant vitamin C powder with the AHA cream before putting a very light, hyaluronic-based night cream on top. I was surprised by how much you can really feel the lactic acid-based AHA cream tingle, so if you like to know your products are working, this will be terrifically satisfying for you. But if you''re super-duper sensitive, it could be too much for you...\n\nAnother downside is that there''s no sunscreen in this range, so you''ll need to wear makeup that includes it on top, and stay out of direct sunlight in general. (If you are going to be outside for long periods, I''d definitely top up with <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">one of these.</a>) You can find out more about Miracle10 at miracle10.com. They sell the products online and at the Toronto boutique, and I''m told we''ll soon see them at a major Canadian retailer too.\n<h2>Also impressive: SkinCeuticals</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19435" title="SkinCeuticals" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg" alt="SkinCeuticals" width="452" height="200" /></a>\n\nI''m a longtime SkinCeuticals fan, actually, and you''ll know this because I''ve already raved about their amazing antioxidant serums <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/02/oh-look%E2%80%94its-a-list-of-the-beauty-products-gwyneth-paltrow-really-uses-and-she-has-great-taste-natch/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">here</a>. But in an effort to get beauty editors to really know the brand, this summer they invited us for skincare consults, just like the Miracle10 people. Now, I''ve gotta say—this consultation was a little more traumatic. I had to stick my face in a black light box to show the woman how much sun damage I accumulated from my years of living in Australia. I learned that I''m basically covered in freckles and it''s only a matter of time before they take over. Sob. But it''s not surprising that this bothered her, because if I had to generalize, I''d say that SkinCeuticals'' main area of expertise is in wrinkle and pigmentation issues. Both preventing them (with antioxidants) and now treating them (they have two different retinols and a new product called Pigment Regulator).\n\nDerms definitely love the stuff, although compared to Miracle10, they''re a little less regimented about the prodz they set you up with. There are a couple of cleansers to choose from (regular or gentle) and three different serums—I''m a candidate for Phloretin CF, which is lighter than CE Ferulic and is the one I talked about in <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">this vid</a>. But as far as treatment products go, the SkinCeuticals expert was not only bothered by my freckly bits but also the aforementioned milia—and told me that I needed to get the latter under control before I could treat the former. I guess that makes sense, so I was instructed to use the Clarifying Clay Masque a few times a week, a retinol at night and then just the hyaluronic acid-based Hydrating B5 Gel as my moisturizer. In the mornings, I used their sunscreen, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">which I praised here</a>, on top.\n\nI followed this routine for a few weeks in the summer before I ran out (since I was just using sample sizes) and then Miracle10 came along and I switched. Did I get better results with Miracle10? Honestly, yes—and that''s because I think my skin needed the extra exfoliating powers of the daily AHA cream to "normalize" it, prevent breakouts and milia. For me, wrinkles and pigmentation just aren''t as pressing concerns as these things. (To be fair, my SkinCeuticals "diagnosis" didn''t include anything for exfoliation, so I have to wonder if I''d have different results by adding their Retexturizing Activator into the routine. I''ll definitely look into that once my Miracle10 prodz run out.)\n\nBut don''t get me wrong—I still think SkinCeuticals is an incredible skincare line; it''s just that it seems more geared to people who want to treat and prevent the signs of aging (and with the latest, most advanced ingredient combinations). Also, while I love the dramatic texture changes I''m experiencing with Miracle10, the lack of a sunscreen in that line is a bit problematic, so I''d feel more comfortable using <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">SkinCeuticals'' antioxidant and sunscreen combination</a> in warmer weather, if I was outside a lot or if sun damage was my number one concern.\n\nYou can find a SkinCeuticals retailer in your area by visiting <a href="http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/myskinceutical/locate_professional_ca.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.\n\nSo—in a nutshell? Both great lines, both worth checking out. Which one you choose all depends on what bothers you most with your skin. I''m just going to be a good girl and resist my usual urge to mix and match these two lines together—ha!\n\nTell me:\n\nDo you use skincare products all from one brand, or do you mix it up?\nHave you tried anything from Miracle10 or SkinCeuticals and if so, what did you think?\nWhat''s YOUR skincare regimen?', 'Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?

(18538, 1, '2011-10-14 19:15:38', '2011-10-14 19:15:38', 'So I just returned from a quick trip to New York City—and while <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/06/24/what-a-beauty-editor-packs-when-all-her-products-need-to-fit-into-carry-on-luggage/">it''s tough for a beauty editor to whittle down her toiletries into a quart-sized plastic bag on a good day</a>, this time was particularly heart-wrenching. Why? Because I''m testing a new skincare range right now that I am Totally.Obsessed.With. And I just didn''t have the space to lug all seven bottles (!) with me.\r\n\r\nThe fact that I''ve dedicated myself to following a regimen is a pretty big deal, because as you know, I love to dabble. Facialists are always frustrated with me whenever they ask what I use on my skin, because I can''t even tell them. It changes on a daily basis according to what''s arrived on my desk, what I discover at the back of my medicine cabinet and frankly, what I feel like giving to my skin, whether it''s a lightweight hydrating gel or a moisture-rich leave-on night mask.\r\n\r\nThe only thing that will keep my ADD brain attached to a regimen is results. And so today I''m going to tell you about not one but two lines that—no lie!—really deliver. But first, a word about whether you actually NEED to use skincare products from the same brand, or if that''s just marketing BS... <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14121" title="medicine cabinet" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg" alt="medicine cabinet" width="500" height="667" /></a>\r\n\r\nI get asked this question a lot, and the answer is that it depends. Sure, it''s nice to have all matching jars to display in your bathroom if you''re borderline obsessive-compulsive about such things like I am. And it''s obviously a good thing for people who are new to skincare and/or just want a routine that they can follow-on auto-pilot. But for the true skincare junkie (and we''re a growing group, thanks to the ability to research this shiz on the Interwebs), the sales pitch about using everything from a single line is met with mucho skepticism. Aren''t they just trying to upsell us more prodz than we wanted to buy?\r\n\r\nWell, yes and no. It''s really no big deal to mix and match your stuff if you''re talking about very basic cleansers and moisturizers that are meant to hydrate the skin and not much else. But once you start to add active ingredients, it''s a whole different story. Using certain actives at the same time can diminish their effectiveness and can even cause irritation. The main problem ingredients are <strong>hydroxy acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic...)</strong> and<strong> retinoids (retinol, Retin-A and other vitamin A derivatives)</strong>. You''re not supposed to use them at the same time, even though exfoliating before you apply an active ingredient is generally a good idea, since it improves penetration. It can be difficult to avoid overlap, too, because these days pretty much every skincare item you can buy—moisturizers, serums, toners and even cleansers—has built-in actives. Then there is the whole sun question. Obviously, you need to be applying sun protection anyway, but certain prodz with antioxidants can break down in sunlight if you apply them in the morning, and retinoids are best applied at night since they can make your skin more sun-sensitive.\r\n\r\nGah! It''s all so confusing, right? The best advice I can give is to either use a single skincare line OR carefully check the labels on your products to make sure you''re only using<strong> one active at a time</strong>. If you''re not sure, try and wait as long as you can before layering products to let the first layer absorb (ideally 10 minutes or more). Or try and check with your derm, if you can. (I''ve often said that there is a HUGE need for some kind of intermediary skincare consultant who could make home visits to evaluate our products and tell us what to use and when, and what to toss. Come to think of it, that''d be a great idea for makeup, too.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, since I am, for maybe the first time in my life, on board with the idea of having a daily regimen, let me tell you about what I''ve been loving lately.\r\n<h2>My current obsession: Miracle10</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19433" title="Miracle10" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg" alt="Miracle10" width="408" height="306" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis line was developed by Canadian plastic surgeon Frank Lista, who has been treating his patients with it since 2005. I know this is going to sound crazy but—for my skin it really has been kind of miraculous.\r\n\r\nAbout a month ago, the Toronto beauty crowd were invited to the Miracle10 "boutique" (at Dr. Lista''s plastic surgery centre in Yorkville) and we each had our skin diagnosed before being set up with the appropriate products. You see, what I like about this line is that it''s not a one-size-fits-all deal. They''ve come up with three main groups of skin types, and then within each of those there are two sub-groups—so there are six possible product combinations. Type No. 1 is for normal and maturing skin, Type No. 2 is for acne-prone and oily skin and Type No. 3 is for delicate and dry skin. I was set up with the delicate routine—for "lighter, fairer skin types that are often sensitive to the sun, chemicals, fragrances, dyes, foods, rough fabrics, etc." and "may react with redness, burning and itching to active ingredients." The products claim to not only bring clarity and radiance but actually NORMALIZE the skin so that you can eventually move up to more intensive treatments.\r\n\r\nNow, anyone who reads here knows that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">I swear by cod liver oil for anything skin-related</a> and that it has been absolutely magical for eradicating breakouts and giving my complexion a glow. But despite that, I would still get the odd stress- or period-related pimple and a few of those annoying little milia spots on my cheeks and forehead. Since I started on Miracle10—and I am not kidding—I have not had a single spot and I think those milia might be gradually diminishing.\r\n\r\nI was chatting about the brand with some fellow beauty eds in NYC, and one mentioned that it was good "but nothing ground-breaking." This may be true—the workhouse is, I believe, the AHA cream that you use nightly and not some new-fangled peptide—but I don''t care. For me, it''s working. My routine consists of a cleanser, toner and eye cream, and then I use slightly different treatment products on top of that. In the morning, it''s just a lightweight serum—which is FABULOUS because I always find prodz geared toward sensitive skin to be too greasy—and then at night I mix an antioxidant vitamin C powder with the AHA cream before putting a very light, hyaluronic-based night cream on top. I was surprised by how much you can really feel the lactic acid-based AHA cream tingle, so if you like to know your products are working, this will be terrifically satisfying for you. But if you''re super-duper sensitive, it could be too much for you...\r\n\r\nAnother downside is that there''s no sunscreen in this range, so you''ll need to wear makeup that includes it on top, and stay out of direct sunlight in general. (If you are going to be outside for long periods, I''d definitely top up with <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">one of these.</a>) You can find out more about Miracle10 at miracle10.com. They sell the products online and at the Toronto boutique, and I''m told we''ll soon see them at a major Canadian retailer too.\r\n<h2>Also impressive: SkinCeuticals</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19435" title="SkinCeuticals" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg" alt="SkinCeuticals" width="452" height="200" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''m a longtime SkinCeuticals fan, actually, and you''ll know this because I''ve already raved about their amazing antioxidant serums <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/02/oh-look%E2%80%94its-a-list-of-the-beauty-products-gwyneth-paltrow-really-uses-and-she-has-great-taste-natch/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">here</a>. But in an effort to get beauty editors to really know the brand, this summer they invited us for skincare consults, just like the Miracle10 people. Now, I''ve gotta say—this consultation was a little more traumatic. I had to stick my face in a black light box to show the woman how much sun damage I accumulated from my years of living in Australia. I learned that I''m basically covered in freckles and it''s only a matter of time before they take over. Sob. But it''s not surprising that this bothered her, because if I had to generalize, I''d say that SkinCeuticals'' main area of expertise is in wrinkle and pigmentation issues. Both preventing them (with antioxidants) and now treating them (they have two different retinols and a new product called Pigment Regulator).\r\n\r\nDerms definitely love the stuff, although compared to Miracle10, they''re a little less regimented about the prodz they set you up with. There are a couple of cleansers to choose from (regular or gentle) and three different serums—I''m a candidate for Phloretin CF, which is lighter than CE Ferulic and is the one I talked about in <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">this vid</a>. But as far as treatment products go, the SkinCeuticals expert was not only bothered by my freckly bits but also the aforementioned milia—and told me that I needed to get the latter under control before I could treat the former. I guess that makes sense, so I was instructed to use the Clarifying Clay Masque a few times a week, a retinol at night and then just the hyaluronic acid-based Hydrating B5 Gel as my moisturizer. In the mornings, I used their sunscreen, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">which I praised here</a>, on top.\r\n\r\nI followed this routine for a few weeks in the summer before I ran out (since I was just using sample sizes) and then Miracle10 came along and I switched. Did I get better results with Miracle10? Honestly, yes—and that''s because I think my skin needed the extra exfoliating powers of the daily AHA cream to "normalize" it, prevent breakouts and milia. For me, wrinkles and pigmentation just aren''t as pressing concerns as these things. (To be fair, my SkinCeuticals "diagnosis" didn''t include anything for exfoliation, so I have to wonder if I''d have different results by adding their Retexturizing Activator into the routine. I''ll definitely look into that once my Miracle10 prodz run out.)\r\n\r\nBut don''t get me wrong—I still think SkinCeuticals is an incredible skincare line; it''s just that it seems more geared to people who want to treat and prevent the signs of aging (and with the latest, most advanced ingredient combinations). Also, while I love the dramatic texture changes I''m experiencing with Miracle10, the lack of a sunscreen in that line is a bit problematic, so I''d feel more comfortable using <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">SkinCeuticals'' antioxidant and sunscreen combination</a> in warmer weather, if I was outside a lot or if sun damage was my number one concern.\r\n\r\nYou can find a SkinCeuticals retailer in your area by visiting <a href="http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/myskinceutical/locate_professional_ca.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.\r\n\r\nSo—in a nutshell? Both great lines, both worth checking out. Which one you choose all depends on what bothers you most with your skin. I''m just going to be a good girl and resist my usual urge to mix and match these two lines together—ha!\r\n\r\nTell me:\r\n\r\nDo you use skincare products all from one brand, or do you mix it up?\r\nHave you tried anything from Miracle10 or SkinCeuticals and if so, what did you think?\r\nWhat''s YOUR skincare regimen?', 'Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?

Keeping up with the ''big four'' Fashion Weeks (<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/2012-spring-fashion-week/">New York, London, Milan and Paris</a>) is always daunting—there are the endless tweets to read, livestreams to watch and photo galleries to click through. And that''s just to check out the hair and makeup! Now that Paris has wrapped up and we''re just about to head into Toronto (come on, you can do it!), I''ve had a chance to get a closer look at an emerging Fashion Week beauty category: nail art! Here are the top 10 manicures I''m obsessing over right now. <!--more-->\r\n<h2>1.<strong>The Ombré Mani at Jen Kao:</strong></h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19379" title="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis past summer, there was an insane number of girls rocking their roots for the Ombré hair trend... and I’m here to say, dear hipsters, it’s over, done and (fingers crossed) dead. (Michelle did declare its 15 minutes were up <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/05/ombre-hair-colour-your-15-minutes-are-up-at-least-on-my-head-heres-why-i-ditched-it/">way back in January</a>.) But these Ombré nails from <a href="htp://beautyeditor.ca/tag/jen-kao/">Jen Kao</a> are a whole different story. I love the way the electric blue pops on the black base. Plus, I think this could be a pretty easy DIY job—no precision or clean lines necessary.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> mixed BlackJack and Inkwell for the base and then layered Anchor Blue on top.\r\n<h2>2. The Striped Mani at Gareth Pugh:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19381" title="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI’m a total sucker for stripes, so when I saw these digits I was instantly drawn in. They’re extra-large, cover the nail bad AND part of the finger, and have an exaggerated almond shape. In other words, they’re completely impractical. But if you toned down the size, I think this could make for a super-chic mani.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> Custom Minx Nails.\r\n<h2>3.  The Mini Silhouette Mani at Prabal Gurung:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19382" title="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nOkay, so this is definitely one of the looks I''ll painstakingly try to do myself—I''m thinking a lot of tape and 3-hole punch reinforcements will be involved. It''s as if you''ve painted your nails once and then double-dipped them, leaving a thin frame around the edge of the bed.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/sally-hansen/">Sally Hansen</a> in Lacy Lilac for the base and topped with Loves-Me-Not.\r\n<h2>4. The Checkerboard Mani at Nicole Miller:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19383" title="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe number of colour combos I could do with this mani are endless. How awesome would a checkerboard look with contrasting matte and glossy squares? The pattern is simple, so it doesn''t read obnoxious or too juvenile.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> Raspberry Parfait and a custom blue made by mixing Anchor Blue, Dark Ruby, Electric Purple and a blue pigment. Topped with one layer of Ice Blue Shimmer.\r\n<h2>5. The Talon Mani at Cushnie et Ochs:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19384" title="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen I think of stiletto-like nails, someone dressed in a bad <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/lady-gaga/">Lady Gaga</a> costume usually comes to mind. But here, I have to say, they kind of appeal to me. Maybe it''s the neutral colour doing it, but this version seems less scary and way more wearable.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/dashing-diva/">Dashing Diva</a> in in Mr.Right, mixed with mineral makeup to match the model''s skin tone.\r\n<h2>6. The V-Shaped Half-Moon Mani at Pamela Love:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19385" title="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe half-moon manicure has been kicking around for a few seasons now and though it''s still a fave of mine, I''m glad to see it with a new edge. Love''s collection was inspired by bohemian Morocco and by squaring off the nail tips,  the look feels very tribal.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/essie/">Essie</a> Topless and Barefoot for the base and Little Brown Dress for the rest of the nail bed.\r\n<h2>7. The Gold Metallic Mani at Lela Rose:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19386" title="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nGlittery gold polishes were seen on a bunch of runway digits during the spring ''12 shows (whether as an accent, half-moon or for modern tips). A shimmering gold-beige metallic mani is universally flattering, because it pulls out both gold and silver tones—making it warm AND cool, at the same time. Besides, who doesn''t like to look at shiny things all day?\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/deborah-lippmann/">Deborah Lippmann</a> in Believe.\r\n<h2>8. The Classic Red Mani at Jason Wu:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19387" title="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nRed will always be a mainstay, but to me the same-old, same-old can get a bit boring. The orangey-tomato hue (it almost looks coral) is so vibrant and bright, I can''t help but smile.  I''m also really into the slight almond shape going on here. And if you''re digging the matchy-matchy lip colour, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%E2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">check out this similar look at Dior</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/opi/">OPI</a> in Monsooner or Later.\r\n<h2>9. The Lucite and Lace Mani at Joy Cioci:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19388" title="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nYup, those are clear falsies with lace detailing you''re witnessing. While the lattice work is really pretty, for real life not all of us will want to commit to wearing a clear tip.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> clear tips and hand-crafted lattice work.\r\n<h2>10. The Nude Mani at VPL:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19390" title="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe nude mani trend doesn''t seem to be losing steam—a good thing for me, because I just hopped onto the bandwagon (for now at least). VPL''s collection was all about the bod and in keeping with that theme, nails were simply in the buff.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/butter-london/">Butter London</a> nail foundation as a base and topped with Tea with the Queen.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Nicole Pajak is a Toronto-based writer. Follow her on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/nicolepajak" target="_blank">@nicolepajak</a>.</em></strong>\r\n\r\nTell us:\r\n\r\nAre you still feeling the nail art trend?\r\nWhich Fashion Week look is your favourite?\r\nWould you give any of these looks a DIY attempt?', 'S/S ''12: What''s new in nails?

(18540, 1, '2011-10-14 19:12:38', '2011-10-14 19:12:38', 'How often do you change how you part you hair? I mean, REALLY change it? For me it was almost never—based purely on the advice of one <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kevin-murphy/">Kevin Murphy</a> (yes, THE Kevin Murphy), who advised me during my last attempt to grow out my bangs that I should instead keep them, but angled and parted in the middle. (This served to only solidify <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/28/sienna-millers-new-bangs-i-think-ive-just-found-my-new-haircut/">my Sienna Miller hair obsession</a>, BTW.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I wore my hair like this, faithfully, for a really long time—until too many weeks passed between bang trims and I was forced to change tactics. That''s how I rocked up at <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/27/the-importance-of-finding-your-life-cut-plus-other-random-bits-of-hair-wisdom-from-my-mane-man-bill-angst/">my hairdresser Bill Angst''s place</a> with a deep side part. And he liked it so much that he pronounced it my New Look.\r\n\r\nSo now I''m not getting bang trims anymore—I''m growing them—and while this happens I''m officially on Team Deep Side Part. I think I''m in good company because <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/emma-stone/">Emma Stone</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kirsten-dunst/">Kirsten Dunst</a> are there with me too. But as you know, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/09/14/new-york-ss-12-okay-im-swooning-over-the-hair-at-dkny-soft-waves-and-oscar-de-la-renta-wild-curls-and-so-will-you/">on the runways</a>, the centre part still ruled for spring... and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/gwyneth-paltrow/">Gwyneth Paltrow</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cameron-diaz/">Cameron Diaz</a> are wearing it well. Come look at all the pics and then tell me which, um, <em>side</em> you''re on. (Get it?) <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Emma Stone''s 1930s glam</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19354" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''ll take any excuse to post an Emma Stone photo, but these are especially gratifying—I know we''re not really talking about makeup today, but I can''t think of any other young celeb who does the bright lip thing so well. (It''s <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/revlon/">Revlon</a>, by the way—Emma is their new global brand ambassador—and I raved about this very lipstick <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/15/sneak-peek-revlon-colorburst-lipstick/">right here</a>. The shade is Coral and <a href="http://well.ca/products/revlon-colorburst_25557.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">you can buy it from Well.ca for $9.95</a> with free shipping in Canada and no minimum order. Coolness!)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I sadly don''t have any specific intel or how-tos on the hair... but I DO think it''s a perfect example of the new, modern way to wear waves. I don''t think I need to mention for the 527th time how bored I am with those piecey, dropped-out flat iron curls that everyone wears. But I will, because those usually come with a centre part, see. Here, you could do the exact same type of curls, but just switching up the part—and pushing everything over one shoulder—gives it an entirely fresh look.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that is great about this style is that if you''re at that annoying in-between stage with your bangs (as I am), it''s a great way to disguise them.\r\n\r\nAside: please notice the nails:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19355" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" width="600" height="400" /></a>\r\n\r\nDid I not say that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%e2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">matchy-matchy lips and nails</a> are making a comeback? Well they are.\r\n<h2>Kirsten Dunst''s elegant waves</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19357" title="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg" alt="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI don''t think we''ve seen Kirsten look this good in a very long time. (She IS <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/05/18/cannes-11-kirsten-dunst-is-girl-hot-bar-refaeli-is-boy-hot-lets-talk-about-the-difference%E2%80%94and-which-one-you-aspire-to/">our Girl Hot poster child</a>, after all, and that never really translates for the red carpet.) I did a double take when I saw her because the hair just makes her look so grown-up and polished. It''s a simple switch, but see how flattering it is? You get to show off your neck and cheekbones on one side, but then there is the mysterious dip over the other side to bring the seksi. It works! A quick tong with a curling iron and you can get that perfect wave at the front.\r\n\r\nWANT.\r\n\r\nBut now let''s go check out the middle-part crew...\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19358" title="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" width="600" height="600" /></a>\r\n\r\nOh HAI! Don''t mind us—we''re just being all glowy and shiny and famous.\r\n<h2>Gwyneth Paltrow''s super-straight locks</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19360" title="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn general, centre parts are a little harder to wear than side ones—because there''s less hair on your face to hide behind—but I think Gwyneth pulls this off well. It''s a simple look, very fresh, and in a way makes her look younger because it''s just so simple and un-styled. If I had one complaint, though (and <a href="beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/11/got-fine-straight-long-hair-like-naomi-watts-dont-listen-to-silly-hairdressers-who-want-to-layer-it/">you knew this was coming</a>), it''s the ends of her hair. She always gets them cut in a very shattered sort of way. I understand this, because her hair is naturally quite thick and wavy and it probably removes a lot of the bulk. But then she proceeds to wear it straight anyway. I would love to see her with something a bit more blunt and crisp.\r\n\r\nShe also needs some eyebrow pencil. Moving on...\r\n<h2>Cameron Diaz''s bendy layers</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19361" title="Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nCammy looks pretty good here, even though we''ve already discussed how she''s perhaps not aging as well as some of her peers. I''m kinda digging the subtle Ombré (the only kind I think is in style now) with the middle part and flicky layers starting from the chin. Again, I think it might just make her look younger because it''s such a casual, unpolished look.\r\n\r\nAnd that brings me to my final thought. (Cue: "I couldn''t help but wonder...") I''m thinking that the deep side part is the way to go when you need to look <em>grown-up and sophisticated</em>... and the middle part is the road to take when you want to look more <em>young and casual</em>. Or is that an erroneous conclusion?\r\n\r\nTell me in the comments...\r\n\r\nDo you always part your hair in the same spot, or do you mix it up?\r\nWhich of these celeb styles is your favourite?\r\nDo you think a side part is more grown-up/sophisticated whereas a middle part is younger/more casual?', 'Celeb hair to copy tonight!

(18564, 1, '2011-10-14 19:17:59', '2011-10-14 19:17:59', 'So I just returned from a quick trip to New York City—and while <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/06/24/what-a-beauty-editor-packs-when-all-her-products-need-to-fit-into-carry-on-luggage/">it''s tough for a beauty editor to whittle down her toiletries into a quart-sized plastic bag on a good day</a>, this time was particularly heart-wrenching. Why? Because I''m testing a new skincare range right now that I am Totally.Obsessed.With. And I just didn''t have the space to lug all seven bottles (!) with me.\r\n\r\nThe fact that I''ve dedicated myself to following a regimen is a pretty big deal, because as you know, I love to dabble. Facialists are always frustrated with me whenever they ask what I use on my skin, because I can''t even tell them. It changes on a daily basis according to what''s arrived on my desk, what I discover at the back of my medicine cabinet and frankly, what I feel like giving to my skin, whether it''s a lightweight hydrating gel or a moisture-rich leave-on night mask.\r\n\r\nThe only thing that will keep my ADD brain attached to a regimen is results. And so today I''m going to tell you about not one but two lines that—no lie!—really deliver. But first, a word about whether you actually NEED to use skincare products from the same brand, or if that''s just marketing BS... <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand?</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14121" title="medicine cabinet" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/medicine-cabinet.jpg" alt="medicine cabinet" width="500" height="667" /></a>\r\n\r\nI get asked this question a lot, and the answer is that it depends. Sure, it''s nice to have all matching jars to display in your bathroom if you''re borderline obsessive-compulsive about such things like I am. And it''s obviously a good thing for people who are new to skincare and/or just want a routine that they can follow-on auto-pilot. But for the true skincare junkie (and we''re a growing group, thanks to the ability to research this shiz on the Interwebs), the sales pitch about using everything from a single line is met with mucho skepticism. Aren''t they just trying to upsell us more prodz than we wanted to buy?\r\n\r\nWell, yes and no. It''s really no big deal to mix and match your stuff if you''re talking about very basic cleansers and moisturizers that are meant to hydrate the skin and not much else. But once you start to add active ingredients, it''s a whole different story. Using certain actives at the same time can diminish their effectiveness and can even cause irritation. The main problem ingredients are <strong>hydroxy acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic...)</strong> and<strong> retinoids (retinol, Retin-A and other vitamin A derivatives)</strong>. You''re not supposed to use them at the same time, even though exfoliating before you apply an active ingredient is generally a good idea, since it improves penetration. It can be difficult to avoid overlap, too, because these days pretty much every skincare item you can buy—moisturizers, serums, toners and even cleansers—has built-in actives. Then there is the whole sun question. Obviously, you need to be applying sun protection anyway, but certain prodz with antioxidants can break down in sunlight if you apply them in the morning, and retinoids are best applied at night since they can make your skin more sun-sensitive.\r\n\r\nGah! It''s all so confusing, right? The best advice I can give is to either use a single skincare line OR carefully check the labels on your products to make sure you''re only using<strong> one active at a time</strong>. If you''re not sure, try and wait as long as you can before layering products to let the first layer absorb (ideally 10 minutes or more). Or try and check with your derm, if you can. (I''ve often said that there is a HUGE need for some kind of intermediary skincare consultant who could make home visits to evaluate our products and tell us what to use and when, and what to toss. Come to think of it, that''d be a great idea for makeup, too.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, since I am, for maybe the first time in my life, on board with the idea of having a daily regimen, let me tell you about what I''ve been loving lately.\r\n<h2>My current obsession: Miracle10</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19433" title="Miracle10" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Miracle10.jpg" alt="Miracle10" width="408" height="306" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis line was developed by Canadian plastic surgeon Frank Lista, who has been treating his patients with it since 2005. I know this is going to sound crazy but—for my skin it really has been kind of miraculous.\r\n\r\nAbout a month ago, the Toronto beauty crowd were invited to the Miracle10 "boutique" (at Dr. Lista''s plastic surgery centre in Yorkville) and we each had our skin diagnosed before being set up with the appropriate products. You see, what I like about this line is that it''s not a one-size-fits-all deal. They''ve come up with three main groups of skin types, and then within each of those there are two sub-groups—so there are six possible product combinations. Type No. 1 is for normal and maturing skin, Type No. 2 is for acne-prone and oily skin and Type No. 3 is for delicate and dry skin. I was set up with the delicate routine—for "lighter, fairer skin types that are often sensitive to the sun, chemicals, fragrances, dyes, foods, rough fabrics, etc." and "may react with redness, burning and itching to active ingredients." The products claim to not only bring clarity and radiance but actually NORMALIZE the skin so that you can eventually move up to more intensive treatments.\r\n\r\nNow, anyone who reads here knows that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">I swear by cod liver oil for anything skin-related</a> and that it has been absolutely magical for eradicating breakouts and giving my complexion a glow. But despite that, I would still get the odd stress- or period-related pimple and a few of those annoying little milia spots on my cheeks and forehead. Since I started on Miracle10—and I am not kidding—I have not had a single spot and I think those milia might be gradually diminishing.\r\n\r\nI was chatting about the brand with some fellow beauty eds in NYC, and one mentioned that it was good "but nothing ground-breaking." This may be true—the workhouse is, I believe, the AHA cream that you use nightly and not some new-fangled peptide—but I don''t care. For me, it''s working. My routine consists of a cleanser, toner and eye cream, and then I use slightly different treatment products on top of that. In the morning, it''s just a lightweight serum—which is FABULOUS because I always find prodz geared toward sensitive skin to be too greasy—and then at night I mix an antioxidant vitamin C powder with the AHA cream before putting a very light, hyaluronic-based night cream on top. I was surprised by how much you can really feel the lactic acid-based AHA cream tingle, so if you like to know your products are working, this will be terrifically satisfying for you. But if you''re super-duper sensitive, it could be too much for you...\r\n\r\nAnother downside is that there''s no sunscreen in this range, so you''ll need to wear makeup that includes it on top, and stay out of direct sunlight in general. (If you are going to be outside for long periods, I''d definitely top up with <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">one of these.</a>) You can find out more about Miracle10 at miracle10.com. They sell the products online and at the Toronto boutique, and I''m told we''ll soon see them at a major Canadian retailer too.\r\n<h2>Also impressive: SkinCeuticals</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19435" title="SkinCeuticals" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/SkinCeuticals.jpg" alt="SkinCeuticals" width="452" height="200" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''m a longtime SkinCeuticals fan, actually, and you''ll know this because I''ve already raved about their amazing antioxidant serums <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/02/oh-look%E2%80%94its-a-list-of-the-beauty-products-gwyneth-paltrow-really-uses-and-she-has-great-taste-natch/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">here</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">here</a>. But in an effort to get beauty editors to really know the brand, this summer they invited us for skincare consults, just like the Miracle10 people. Now, I''ve gotta say—this consultation was a little more traumatic. I had to stick my face in a black light box to show the woman how much sun damage I accumulated from my years of living in Australia. I learned that I''m basically covered in freckles and it''s only a matter of time before they take over. Sob. But it''s not surprising that this bothered her, because if I had to generalize, I''d say that SkinCeuticals'' main area of expertise is in wrinkle and pigmentation issues. Both preventing them (with antioxidants) and now treating them (they have two different retinols and a new product called Pigment Regulator).\r\n\r\nDerms definitely love the stuff, although compared to Miracle10, they''re a little less regimented about the prodz they set you up with. There are a couple of cleansers to choose from (regular or gentle) and three different serums—I''m a candidate for Phloretin CF, which is lighter than CE Ferulic and is the one I talked about in <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/04/08/video-my-top-5-beauty-editors-picks-of-the-week-new-nail-polish-body-oil-for-chocoholics-and-the-best-serum-in-the-biz/">this vid</a>. But as far as treatment products go, the SkinCeuticals expert was not only bothered by my freckly bits but also the aforementioned milia—and told me that I needed to get the latter under control before I could treat the former. I guess that makes sense, so I was instructed to use the Clarifying Clay Masque a few times a week, a retinol at night and then just the hyaluronic acid-based Hydrating B5 Gel as my moisturizer. In the mornings, I used their sunscreen, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/15/should-you-use-a-mineral-sunscreen-heres-why-you-might-consider-it%e2%80%94and-7-beauty-editor-approved-prodz-to-choose-from/">which I praised here</a>, on top.\r\n\r\nI followed this routine for a few weeks in the summer before I ran out (since I was just using sample sizes) and then Miracle10 came along and I switched. Did I get better results with Miracle10? Honestly, yes—and that''s because I think my skin needed the extra exfoliating powers of the daily AHA cream to "normalize" it, prevent breakouts and milia. For me, wrinkles and pigmentation just aren''t as pressing concerns as these things. (To be fair, my SkinCeuticals "diagnosis" didn''t include anything for exfoliation, so I have to wonder if I''d have different results by adding their Retexturizing Activator into the routine. I''ll definitely look into that once my Miracle10 prodz run out.)\r\n\r\nBut don''t get me wrong—I still think SkinCeuticals is an incredible skincare line; it''s just that it seems more geared to people who want to treat and prevent the signs of aging (and with the latest, most advanced ingredient combinations). Also, while I love the dramatic texture changes I''m experiencing with Miracle10, the lack of a sunscreen in that line is a bit problematic, so I''d feel more comfortable using <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/06/29/just-when-you-thought-sunscreen-was-enough-you-actually-need-this-too%e2%80%94and-seriously-in-10-years-your-skin-will-thank-you/">SkinCeuticals'' antioxidant and sunscreen combination</a> in warmer weather, if I was outside a lot or if sun damage was my number one concern.\r\n\r\nYou can find a SkinCeuticals retailer in your area by visiting <a href="http://www.skinceuticals.com/_us/_en/myskinceutical/locate_professional_ca.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.\r\n\r\nSo—in a nutshell? Both great lines, both worth checking out. Which one you choose all depends on what bothers you most with your skin. I''m just going to be a good girl and resist my usual urge to mix and match these two lines together—ha!\r\n\r\nTell me:\r\n\r\nDo you use skincare products all from one brand, or do you mix it up?\r\nHave you tried anything from Miracle10 or SkinCeuticals and if so, what did you think?\r\nWhat''s YOUR skincare regimen?', 'Do your skincare products have to be from the same brand? Maybe—and here are two lines that I''m mightily impressed by', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '18533-revision-3', '', '', '2011-10-14 19:17:59', '2011-10-14 19:17:59', '', 18533, 'http://two.adambaird.net/2011/10/18533-revision-3/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Keeping up with the ''big four'' Fashion Weeks (<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/2012-spring-fashion-week/">New York, London, Milan and Paris</a>) is always daunting—there are the endless tweets to read, livestreams to watch and photo galleries to click through. And that''s just to check out the hair and makeup! Now that Paris has wrapped up and we''re just about to head into Toronto (come on, you can do it!), I''ve had a chance to get a closer look at an emerging Fashion Week beauty category: nail art! Here are the top 10 manicures I''m obsessing over right now. <!--more-->\r\n<h2>1.<strong>The Ombré Mani at Jen Kao:</strong></h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19379" title="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jen-Kao-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Jen Kao - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis past summer, there was an insane number of girls rocking their roots for the Ombré hair trend... and I’m here to say, dear hipsters, it’s over, done and (fingers crossed) dead. (Michelle did declare its 15 minutes were up <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/05/ombre-hair-colour-your-15-minutes-are-up-at-least-on-my-head-heres-why-i-ditched-it/">way back in January</a>.) But these Ombré nails from <a href="htp://beautyeditor.ca/tag/jen-kao/">Jen Kao</a> are a whole different story. I love the way the electric blue pops on the black base. Plus, I think this could be a pretty easy DIY job—no precision or clean lines necessary.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> mixed BlackJack and Inkwell for the base and then layered Anchor Blue on top.\r\n<h2>2. The Striped Mani at Gareth Pugh:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19381" title="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gareth-Pugh-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Gareth Pugh - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI’m a total sucker for stripes, so when I saw these digits I was instantly drawn in. They’re extra-large, cover the nail bad AND part of the finger, and have an exaggerated almond shape. In other words, they’re completely impractical. But if you toned down the size, I think this could make for a super-chic mani.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> Custom Minx Nails.\r\n<h2>3.  The Mini Silhouette Mani at Prabal Gurung:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19382" title="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Prabal-Gurung-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Prabal Gurung - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nOkay, so this is definitely one of the looks I''ll painstakingly try to do myself—I''m thinking a lot of tape and 3-hole punch reinforcements will be involved. It''s as if you''ve painted your nails once and then double-dipped them, leaving a thin frame around the edge of the bed.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/sally-hansen/">Sally Hansen</a> in Lacy Lilac for the base and topped with Loves-Me-Not.\r\n<h2>4. The Checkerboard Mani at Nicole Miller:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19383" title="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Nicole-Miller-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Nicole Miller - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe number of colour combos I could do with this mani are endless. How awesome would a checkerboard look with contrasting matte and glossy squares? The pattern is simple, so it doesn''t read obnoxious or too juvenile.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> Raspberry Parfait and a custom blue made by mixing Anchor Blue, Dark Ruby, Electric Purple and a blue pigment. Topped with one layer of Ice Blue Shimmer.\r\n<h2>5. The Talon Mani at Cushnie et Ochs:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19384" title="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cushnie-et-Ochs-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Cushnie et Ochs - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen I think of stiletto-like nails, someone dressed in a bad <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/lady-gaga/">Lady Gaga</a> costume usually comes to mind. But here, I have to say, they kind of appeal to me. Maybe it''s the neutral colour doing it, but this version seems less scary and way more wearable.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/dashing-diva/">Dashing Diva</a> in in Mr.Right, mixed with mineral makeup to match the model''s skin tone.\r\n<h2>6. The V-Shaped Half-Moon Mani at Pamela Love:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19385" title="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pamela-Love-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Pamela Love - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe half-moon manicure has been kicking around for a few seasons now and though it''s still a fave of mine, I''m glad to see it with a new edge. Love''s collection was inspired by bohemian Morocco and by squaring off the nail tips,  the look feels very tribal.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/essie/">Essie</a> Topless and Barefoot for the base and Little Brown Dress for the rest of the nail bed.\r\n<h2>7. The Gold Metallic Mani at Lela Rose:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19386" title="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Lela-Rose-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Lela Rose - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nGlittery gold polishes were seen on a bunch of runway digits during the spring ''12 shows (whether as an accent, half-moon or for modern tips). A shimmering gold-beige metallic mani is universally flattering, because it pulls out both gold and silver tones—making it warm AND cool, at the same time. Besides, who doesn''t like to look at shiny things all day?\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it:</strong> <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/deborah-lippmann/">Deborah Lippmann</a> in Believe.\r\n<h2>8. The Classic Red Mani at Jason Wu:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19387" title="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Jason-Wu-Spring-2012-beauty1.jpg" alt="Jason Wu - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nRed will always be a mainstay, but to me the same-old, same-old can get a bit boring. The orangey-tomato hue (it almost looks coral) is so vibrant and bright, I can''t help but smile.  I''m also really into the slight almond shape going on here. And if you''re digging the matchy-matchy lip colour, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%E2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">check out this similar look at Dior</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/opi/">OPI</a> in Monsooner or Later.\r\n<h2>9. The Lucite and Lace Mani at Joy Cioci:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19388" title="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Joy-Cioci-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="Joy Cioci - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nYup, those are clear falsies with lace detailing you''re witnessing. While the lattice work is really pretty, for real life not all of us will want to commit to wearing a clear tip.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cnd/">CND</a> clear tips and hand-crafted lattice work.\r\n<h2>10. The Nude Mani at VPL:</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19390" title="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/VPL-Spring-2012-beauty.jpg" alt="VPL - Spring 2012 beauty" width="600" height="450" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe nude mani trend doesn''t seem to be losing steam—a good thing for me, because I just hopped onto the bandwagon (for now at least). VPL''s collection was all about the bod and in keeping with that theme, nails were simply in the buff.\r\n\r\n<strong>How they did it: </strong><a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/butter-london/">Butter London</a> nail foundation as a base and topped with Tea with the Queen.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Nicole Pajak is a Toronto-based writer. Follow her on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/nicolepajak" target="_blank">@nicolepajak</a>.</em></strong>\r\n\r\nTell us:\r\n\r\nAre you still feeling the nail art trend?\r\nWhich Fashion Week look is your favourite?\r\nWould you give any of these looks a DIY attempt?', 'S/S ''12: What''s new in nails?

For me it was almost never—based purely on the advice of one <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kevin-murphy/">Kevin Murphy</a> (yes, THE Kevin Murphy), who advised me during my last attempt to grow out my bangs that I should instead keep them, but angled and parted in the middle. (This served to only solidify <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/28/sienna-millers-new-bangs-i-think-ive-just-found-my-new-haircut/">my Sienna Miller hair obsession</a>, BTW.)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I wore my hair like this, faithfully, for a really long time—until too many weeks passed between bang trims and I was forced to change tactics. That''s how I rocked up at <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/01/27/the-importance-of-finding-your-life-cut-plus-other-random-bits-of-hair-wisdom-from-my-mane-man-bill-angst/">my hairdresser Bill Angst''s place</a> with a deep side part. And he liked it so much that he pronounced it my New Look.\r\n\r\nSo now I''m not getting bang trims anymore—I''m growing them—and while this happens I''m officially on Team Deep Side Part. I think I''m in good company because <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/emma-stone/">Emma Stone</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/kirsten-dunst/">Kirsten Dunst</a> are there with me too. But as you know, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/09/14/new-york-ss-12-okay-im-swooning-over-the-hair-at-dkny-soft-waves-and-oscar-de-la-renta-wild-curls-and-so-will-you/">on the runways</a>, the centre part still ruled for spring... and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/gwyneth-paltrow/">Gwyneth Paltrow</a> and <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/cameron-diaz/">Cameron Diaz</a> are wearing it well. Come look at all the pics and then tell me which, um, <em>side</em> you''re on. (Get it?) <!--more-->\r\n<h2>Emma Stone''s 1930s glam</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19354" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''ll take any excuse to post an Emma Stone photo, but these are especially gratifying—I know we''re not really talking about makeup today, but I can''t think of any other young celeb who does the bright lip thing so well. (It''s <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/revlon/">Revlon</a>, by the way—Emma is their new global brand ambassador—and I raved about this very lipstick <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/04/15/sneak-peek-revlon-colorburst-lipstick/">right here</a>. The shade is Coral and <a href="http://well.ca/products/revlon-colorburst_25557.html?affid=BEAUTY" target="_blank">you can buy it from Well.ca for $9.95</a> with free shipping in Canada and no minimum order. Coolness!)\r\n\r\nAnyway, I sadly don''t have any specific intel or how-tos on the hair... but I DO think it''s a perfect example of the new, modern way to wear waves. I don''t think I need to mention for the 527th time how bored I am with those piecey, dropped-out flat iron curls that everyone wears. But I will, because those usually come with a centre part, see. Here, you could do the exact same type of curls, but just switching up the part—and pushing everything over one shoulder—gives it an entirely fresh look.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that is great about this style is that if you''re at that annoying in-between stage with your bangs (as I am), it''s a great way to disguise them.\r\n\r\nAside: please notice the nails:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19355" title="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Emma-Stone-The-Help-UK-premiere-October-2012-3.jpg" alt="Emma Stone - The Help UK premiere October 2012 - nails" width="600" height="400" /></a>\r\n\r\nDid I not say that <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/10/03/paris-ss-12-jadore-dior%e2%80%94because-these-are-the-lips-and-nails-of-my-dreams-yes-matchy-matchy-is-back-if-you-dare/">matchy-matchy lips and nails</a> are making a comeback? Well they are.\r\n<h2>Kirsten Dunst''s elegant waves</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19357" title="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Kirsten-Dunst-Bulgari-eyewear-launch-October-2012.jpg" alt="Kirsten Dunst Bulgari eyewear launch October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nI don''t think we''ve seen Kirsten look this good in a very long time. (She IS <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2011/05/18/cannes-11-kirsten-dunst-is-girl-hot-bar-refaeli-is-boy-hot-lets-talk-about-the-difference%E2%80%94and-which-one-you-aspire-to/">our Girl Hot poster child</a>, after all, and that never really translates for the red carpet.) I did a double take when I saw her because the hair just makes her look so grown-up and polished. It''s a simple switch, but see how flattering it is? You get to show off your neck and cheekbones on one side, but then there is the mysterious dip over the other side to bring the seksi. It works! A quick tong with a curling iron and you can get that perfect wave at the front.\r\n\r\nWANT.\r\n\r\nBut now let''s go check out the middle-part crew...\r\n\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19358" title="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-and-Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London - October 2012" width="600" height="600" /></a>\r\n\r\nOh HAI! Don''t mind us—we''re just being all glowy and shiny and famous.\r\n<h2>Gwyneth Paltrow''s super-straight locks</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19360" title="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Gwyneth-Paltrow-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Gwyneth Paltrow - The Arts Club London October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn general, centre parts are a little harder to wear than side ones—because there''s less hair on your face to hide behind—but I think Gwyneth pulls this off well. It''s a simple look, very fresh, and in a way makes her look younger because it''s just so simple and un-styled. If I had one complaint, though (and <a href="beautyeditor.ca/2010/08/11/got-fine-straight-long-hair-like-naomi-watts-dont-listen-to-silly-hairdressers-who-want-to-layer-it/">you knew this was coming</a>), it''s the ends of her hair. She always gets them cut in a very shattered sort of way. I understand this, because her hair is naturally quite thick and wavy and it probably removes a lot of the bulk. But then she proceeds to wear it straight anyway. I would love to see her with something a bit more blunt and crisp.\r\n\r\nShe also needs some eyebrow pencil. Moving on...\r\n<h2>Cameron Diaz''s bendy layers</h2>\r\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19361" title="Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London October 2012" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/Cameron-Diaz-The-Arts-Club-London-October-2012.jpg" alt="Cameron Diaz - The Arts Club London October 2012" width="600" height="800" /></a>\r\n\r\nCammy looks pretty good here, even though we''ve already discussed how she''s perhaps not aging as well as some of her peers. I''m kinda digging the subtle Ombré (the only kind I think is in style now) with the middle part and flicky layers starting from the chin. Again, I think it might just make her look younger because it''s such a casual, unpolished look.\r\n\r\nAnd that brings me to my final thought. (Cue: "I couldn''t help but wonder...") I''m thinking that the deep side part is the way to go when you need to look <em>grown-up and sophisticated</em>... and the middle part is the road to take when you want to look more <em>young and casual</em>. Or is that an erroneous conclusion?\r\n\r\nTell me in the comments...\r\n\r\nDo you always part your hair in the same spot, or do you mix it up?\r\nWhich of these celeb styles is your favourite?\r\nDo you think a side part is more grown-up/sophisticated whereas a middle part is younger/more casual?', 'Celeb hair to copy tonight!

I was thinking about the style of a young aristocratic boy who parties a little too hard, and wanted to transfer this look to a beautiful young woman to create a slightly androgynous hairstyle. The key to this style is an illusion of short hair, with a textured, ‘foppish’ top. I love the idea of imperfection and wanted the hair to look as if the girl had been partying all night and the roots of her hair were a little unwashed and sweaty, in contrast to the perfectly sleek underneath section. This hair look is all about looking cool with an attitude; it’s tough, contemporary and full of character; rather like the Haider Ackermann woman.”—<a title="Eugene Souleiman" href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/eugene-souleiman/">Eugene Souleiman</a> for <a title="Wella Professionals" href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/wella-professionals/">Wella Professionals</a>\r\n<h2>The how-to:</h2>\r\n1. This look is focused on creating a ‘day old’ hair but with a freshly washed base, so always start with freshly washed and conditioned hair. Use <strong>Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner</strong>.\r\n\r\n2. Roughly dry the hair, keeping it as flat as possible, if hair is very textured, use <strong>Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier</strong> as a base styling product to smooth out the hair surface and act as a primer for the subsequent styling products.\r\n\r\n3. To create the illusion of short hair, you first need to take the underneath hair away, to create a flat and shiny base. Clip the top section of hair out of the way, and start to make a very flat chignon, taking the hair section by section and spraying the roots with <strong>Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray</strong> until they are saturated. Brush this through the hair with a small soft bristle brush; hold the section tight as you go to create tension. Repeat this process, ensuring that each section is sprayed wet as you go (once the hair spray dries it will slightly ‘shrink’ which helps to pull the hair even tighter).\r\n\r\n4. When you have all the hair contained in one section, create a chignon by squashing the hair and rolling it back on itself and then pinning the hair into place, but ensure that the top ‘tail’ of the chignon remains free as this will form part of the top look. The chignon must be as flat to the head as possible.\r\n\r\n5. Release the top section of hair and tease towards the front of the head, clipping into place as you go. Spray <strong>Wella Professionals Create Character Texturizing Spray</strong> in to the roots and rub it in with fingertips to loosen the hairstyle and to create a different texture.\r\n\r\n6. Fold the front piece of hair back on itself and pin down roughly, spritz liberally with <strong>Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray</strong> to create a slightly rougher texture to the hair and give it some ‘bite’.\r\n\r\n7. Using a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment, apply heat lightly over the entire head to set the style in place.\r\n\r\n8. Finally, pick out end sections from the top and use straightening irons to clamp the ends to create separation and give a ‘piecey’ finish.', 'How-to: Haider Ackermann S/S ''12 hair', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'how-to-haider-ackermann-ss-12-hair', '', '', '2011-10-25 02:54:50', '2011-10-25 02:54:50', '', 0, 'http://two.adambaird.net/?p=18641', 0, 'post', '', 0);

(18642, 1, '2010-03-31 16:59:48', '2010-03-31 20:59:48', 'It''s reader question time! Today I''ve got some advice for reader Giselle, who is looking for a skin care regime that treats oily skin, breakouts AND their pain-in-the-butt aftermath, post-acne marks. She writes:\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>"I''m having trouble finding a good skin care regime for myself. I have oily skin and seem to  break out a lot at my time of month. A lot of SPF moisturizers  cause breakouts. I also have brown spots on my face, from old breakouts and age I suppose."</em></strong></p>\nNow Giselle is in her early 50s, but what I''m going to recommend applies to pretty much everyone over age 25. So if any of these issues apply to you (or even if they don''t), stay with me here:\n<h2>Treating Hormonal Acne Naturally</h2>\nI promise I WILL get to the product regimen part... but first things first: if you tend to break out at certain times of the month (join the club), it''s worth a little effort to see if you can re-balance those hormones. Yes, medications like the birth control pill, spironolactone, Accutane and antibiotics can help, but I''m generally against them. They''re short-term fixes with some serious side effects (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52585">breast cancer</a>, anyone?). I''m also on the fence about laser treatments—they can work, but again, not necessarily permanently, and they can get REALLY expensive.\n\nAlthough it''s undoubtedly more challenging, you CAN do a lot naturally through diet and lifestyle to at least lessen the severity of those monthly breakouts. (The payoff is that it''s going to make much more of a difference than any product you put on  your skin topically, plus you can improve your overall health at the same time.)\n<h2>What to Eat for Acne</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/organic-meadow-butter.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7018" title="organic-meadow-butter" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/organic-meadow-butter-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a>By far the best information on nutrition is from the <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/">Weston A. Price Foundation</a>, which advocates cutting out ALL processed crap (including soy—a major baddie) and upping your quantities of healthy saturated fats like butter and coconut oil. Yep, you read that right. Fat is not the enemy—unless it''s hydrogenated vegetable or soybean oils. I''ve eliminated those (along with the vast quantities of nuts and seeds I used to eat) and started slathering everything in butter and coconut oil. I know it sounds strange, but it''s made a MAJOR difference in my skin. It''s also important to eat enough protein—and I mean ANIMAL protein—which most of us females don''t get enough of. And you probably already know that sugar and white flour are the absolute worst, so avoid them like the plague. You can read more about the WAPF approach to acne <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/Acne.html">here</a>.\n\n<strong>UPDATE: I''m convinced that taking cod liver oil has actually made the BIGGEST difference in the texture and quality of my skin (and eliminating breakouts). <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">For more details please see this post</a>.</strong>\n<h2>Liver Detox and Acne</h2>\nMany natural health practitioners also say that acne is connected to the liver, which processes our hormones, and I believe that too. If you''re feeling very brave, you can try a liver and gallbladder flush, which can remove blockages (intrahepatic stones) in the area that may be contributing to hormonal breakouts. (Too much information to explain in one post, but <a href="http://sensiblehealth.com/">this site</a> is a wonderful resource.)

Today I''ve got some advice for reader Giselle, who is looking for a skin care regime that treats oily skin, breakouts AND their pain-in-the-butt aftermath, post-acne marks. She writes:\n<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>"I''m having trouble finding a good skin care regime for myself. I have oily skin and seem to break out a lot at my time of month. A lot of SPF moisturizers cause breakouts. I also have brown spots on my face, from old breakouts and age I suppose."</em></strong></p>\nNow Giselle is in her early 50s, but what I''m going to recommend applies to pretty much everyone over age 25. So if any of these issues apply to you (or even if they don''t), stay with me here:\n<h2>Treating Hormonal Acne Naturally</h2>\nI promise I WILL get to the product regimen part... but first things first: if you tend to break out at certain times of the month (join the club), it''s worth a little effort to see if you can re-balance those hormones. Yes, medications like the birth control pill, spironolactone, Accutane and antibiotics can help, but I''m generally against them. They''re short-term fixes with some serious side effects (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52585">breast cancer</a>, anyone?). I''m also on the fence about laser treatments—they can work, but again, not necessarily permanently, and they can get REALLY expensive.\n\nAlthough it''s undoubtedly more challenging, you CAN do a lot naturally through diet and lifestyle to at least lessen the severity of those monthly breakouts. (The payoff is that it''s going to make much more of a difference than any product you put on your skin topically, plus you can improve your overall health at the same time.)\n<h2>What to Eat for Acne</h2>\n<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/organic-meadow-butter.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7018" title="organic-meadow-butter" src="http://beautyeditor.ca/wp-content/uploads/organic-meadow-butter-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a>By far the best information on nutrition is from the <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/">Weston A. Price Foundation</a>, which advocates cutting out ALL processed crap (including soy—a major baddie) and upping your quantities of healthy saturated fats like butter and coconut oil. Yep, you read that right. Fat is not the enemy—unless it''s hydrogenated vegetable or soybean oils. I''ve eliminated those (along with the vast quantities of nuts and seeds I used to eat) and started slathering everything in butter and coconut oil. I know it sounds strange, but it''s made a MAJOR difference in my skin. It''s also important to eat enough protein—and I mean ANIMAL protein—which most of us females don''t get enough of. And you probably already know that sugar and white flour are the absolute worst, so avoid them like the plague. You can read more about the WAPF approach to acne <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/Acne.html">here</a>.\n\n<strong>UPDATE: I''m convinced that taking cod liver oil has actually made the BIGGEST difference in the texture and quality of my skin (and eliminating breakouts). <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/">For more details please see this post</a>.</strong>\n<h2>Liver Detox and Acne</h2>\nMany natural health practitioners also say that acne is connected to the liver, which processes our hormones, and I believe that too. If you''re feeling very brave, you can try a liver and gallbladder flush, which can remove blockages (intrahepatic stones) in the area that may be contributing to hormonal breakouts. (Too much information to explain in one post, but <a href="http://sensiblehealth.com/">this site</a> is a wonderful resource.)

I was thinking about the style of a young aristocratic boy who parties a little too hard, and wanted to transfer this look to a beautiful young woman to create a slightly androgynous hairstyle. The key to this style is an illusion of short hair, with a textured, ‘foppish’ top. I love the idea of imperfection and wanted the hair to look as if the girl had been partying all night and the roots of her hair were a little unwashed and sweaty, in contrast to the perfectly sleek underneath section. This hair look is all about looking cool with an attitude; it’s tough, contemporary and full of character; rather like the Haider Ackermann woman.”—<a title="Eugene Souleiman" href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/eugene-souleiman/">Eugene Souleiman</a> for <a title="Wella Professionals" href="http://beautyeditor.ca/tag/wella-professionals/">Wella Professionals</a>\n<h2>The how-to:</h2>\n1. This look is focused on creating a ‘day old’ hair but with a freshly washed base, so always start with freshly washed and conditioned hair. Use Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner.\n\n2. Roughly dry the hair, keeping it as flat as possible, if hair is very textured, use Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier as a base styling product to smooth out the hair surface and act a as primer for the subsequent styling products.\n\n3. To create the illusion of short hair, you first need to take the underneath hair away, to create a flat and shiny base. Clip the top section of hair out of the way, and start to make a very flat chignon, taking the hair section by section and spraying the roots with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray until they are saturated. Brush this through the hair with a small soft bristle brush; hold the section tight as you go to create tension. Repeat this process, ensuring that each section is sprayed wet as you go (once the hair spray dries it will slightly ‘shrink’ which helps to pull the hair even tighter).\n\n4. When you have all the hair contained in one section, create a chignon by squashing the hair and rolling it back on itself and then pinning the hair into place, but ensure that the top ‘tail’ of the chignon remains free as this will form part of the top look.
