mark. holiday 2013 part 2

There are only 20 days left to get your holiday shopping done... Stressed yet?

I have done a teeny bit, but I really don't have much to do as my family doesn't really do presents anymore. We're all adults and can buy our own crap. That said, we do still exchange the odd little thing, because, well you have to have at least one thing to unwrap. Whether you're shopping for yourself or a beauty fan on your gift list mark has you covered with a sleigh-full (see what I did there?) of super cute items sure to please.

shopstyle.ca editor's picks- very merry berry

Love to shop? Ugh, yeah... stupid question isn't it? I think, given the right shopping situation, that everyone can enjoy shopping in some form or another. Thanks to our beloved modern technology it's easier than ever. Gone are the days of schlepping to a crowded mall, searching for hours only to find every size but your own. No thanks. I'd rather snuggle up at home- preferably in some sort of pajama- and browse to my heart's content. So much better, right? But -yes, there is a but- sometimes it's hard to know where to start, a little inspiration is what I need to warm up before a shopping session. That's where ShopStyle.ca comes into play!

Happy December, everyone!

While it's technically still Fall, the ever-growing heaps of snow say otherwise. When it comes to winter nail polish, I like to switch up my deep shades with cool wintery shades like pale, icy blues and lilacs. Who says a pastel is only meant for Spring?

So, you know the makeup kits and cases that always appear around the holidays? Yeah, those. You'd think any beauty fan worth their blushes would have had at least one at sometime in their lives, right? Wrong. Somehow. I've gone twenty-some-odd years and never had one. Until now, and it may just be the glitziest one ever created. Just in time for the holidays Avon brings us the Gilded Treasures Makeup Set. Read on for the 411!
