We’ve all been there—you spend your morning makeup routine buffing and blending your way to a flawless base, only to find that, come 3PM, your makeup has either A) caked up and settled into your pores, fine lines and dry patches or B) slipped and faded away entirely. The hard truth is that sometimes even…
When I tell people I’m a beauty editor, I’m met with one of three responses. First, they ask, “What’s a beauty editor?” I explain that I test, research, and write about all things beauty related for a living. Second, they ask, “What’s the best [insert beauty product here]?” Third, their eyes light up, and they…
Every now and then, a skincare tool launches that captures the attention of editors and beauty lovers alike. This season, that tool is the Ziip Dot. You may already be familiar with this brand and its popular facial microcurrent device, the Ziip Halo. However, the latest launch is something a little bit different. Yes, the…
Of all the skincare products that it’s important to use, none are more essential than SPF. For that reason, I subscribe to the belief that the best sunscreen is the sunscreen that you actually want to use—and in 2025, it’s never been easier. From creams and sunscreen sticks to SPF sprays and SPF serums, SPF…
No one does it like Dior Beauty. Yep, when it comes to luxury makeup brands, their products are always at the top of my list. From the stellar formulas to the chic packaging, there hasn’t been one launch that I haven’t loved. That being said, Dior’s latest creations might just be my favourite ones yet….
Sometimes, wearing a full-coverage foundation feels like putting on a latex mask. And on the flip side, going totally bare-faced can feel daunting. For days when both sides of the spectrum feel impossible, it’s best to reach for a base product with flexible coverage that feels breathable and maybe even skincare-adjacent. That’s where BB creams…
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the transformative power of impeccable wardrobe basics—namely, the often-overlooked T-shirt and tank top. These are the foundational garments that make or break a look, whether they’re worn alone or layered under other pieces. Over the past year, I’ve taken on the mission of finding the perfect…
Hair removal is a personal thing. Some of us like to do it, and some of us don’t. Some of us like to use a razor, while others prefer waxing. As a beauty editor, something that I’m very intrigued about is at-home laser hair removal or, more accurately, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices. I’ve long…
As a beauty editor I consider it an (unofficial) part of my job description to quiz everyone on their favourite and essential beauty products. Friends, family, colleagues, clients, acquaintances are all interrogated on the contents of their bathroom shelves and toiletry bags—no one is exempt. Over the years I’ve learned that there are certain products…
When cult beauty brand Merit launches a new product, there’s a solid chance (like, 99.99%) I’ll be obsessed. The fragrance? An instant editor favorite. The lip liners? Creamy, long-lasting, and so dang pretty. My ears immediately perk up with each announcement, my fingertips itching to add to cart, but I’ll be honest: I wasn’t so…
