PROACTIV 3 STEP KIT - REVIEW
By: Sherene
In the past I’ve struggled with acne and bad breakouts. I started with the beginner 3 step kit which included: the renewal cleanser, revitalizing toner and repairing treatment. When I used the product it was a slow start.

I got this liquid matte HUDA, Material Girl colour from Sephora and I have to say, it’s one of my new
all time favs. I had never tried this brand before, so I was excited to try it.

Sephora Collection - Make No Mistake Foundation & Concealer Stick Driftwood Review
By: Ashley
I’ve been looking for a good foundation for awhile now. One that doesn’t give me that dreadful, yellow tint. As I worked outside all summer, my foundation matched my skin tone at the time. Unfortunately, my concealer never upgraded...
TooFaced Melted Latex High Shine Lipstick - Review
By: Megan & Rachel
The best part about these is how pigmented these are - they pack a major color punch and when they do inevitably wear off, they leave a really pretty stain behind! Even the next morning I’ve woken up with color still on my lips, which is proof positive of a good lip color. The applicator makes it really easy to apply too, apparently it was specially designed to give you the best even application of the product every time.

In a city as large as Toronto, finding good Mexican food is a must. When our group of friends was trying to decide what "new" place to try on a Friday night I suggested that we try El Local Loco. READ MORE...
CHOCOLATE BOYCOTT
EASTER RECIPE REVIEWS
I don’t know about you but there’s a certain point on Easter Weekend where I’ve eaten my own weight in mini eggs, and now it’s time for dessert and I just can’t fathom eating any more chocolate… Luckily I’m usually the one making dessert so I can make the executive decision and pick some alternative flavours! I did the legwork for you babes and have tested out two potential options for dessert alternatives to tone down the chocolate overload this upcoming holiday weekend! READ MORE...

The Keeper of Lost Causes - Book Review
By: Megan
Set in Denmark, the book flips between two timelines: one beginning in 2002 and the other firmly in 2007. This could have been super confusing but surprisingly wasn’t (well once I realized I needed to pay attention to the year listed at the start of each chapter; the first few chapters were a bit confusing – luckily I made that mistake for you so you don’t have to, you’re welcome!).

Making of a Model - Show Review
By: Sherene

Top 10 Animated Villains
By: Rachel & Megan - Voted by all BABC Ladies
We love a good villain, a bad guy that you love to hate. It’s one thing to be a bad guy in an action movie, but to be a bad guy in an animated movie is particularly impressive. Sometimes watching a cartoon can be so much better, sometimes it's what you need. For those times we've created this list just for you!

Tomb Raider VS. Tomb Raider
By: Rachel
When I first saw the marketing material for the new Tomb Raider, it was a tough pill to swallow. There have been so many horrible re-makes, and I didn’t want to see that happen to the Angelina Jolie version of the film.
That being said, when I saw the casting and realized that Alicia Vikander would be playing Lara Croft I did feel a tiny bit better. READ MORE...

Crochet Characters: Soft & Snuggly Cacti Kit - Review
By: Megan
Though I already have most of the hobbies of a senior citizen, I hadn’t ever successfully
added crocheting to the list, and had honestly never really tried to add it. I’m so used to knitting that having a hook instead of two needles just didn’t quite make sense to my brain. But then the other day, we were in Chapters (I know, I know: technically it’s Indigo now but like the SkyDome/Rogers Centre, I’m refusing to adjust) and we came across this kit, and it was so cute I figured what the hell, I’ll give it a shot.

Blisstick by Fab Feet - Review
By: Rachel
What’s a Blisstick you ask? It’s a product made by Fab Feet that is used to help reduce irritation and rubbing when you’re wearing your shoes. It honestly looks like a tiny little deodorant, when you pull off the lid it even has the roller like deodorant. I have to give the creators credit here because it’s small enough to fit in any clutch I’ve taken out with me.
