Typically I opt for bright colours on my fingers and twinkletoes (see exhibits A, B, and leopard-printed C). But there’s something about Estée Lauder’s Pure Color Nail Laquer in So Vain that has me putting a sophist-o-twist on my usual palette. It’s as neutral as neutral can be so it goes with everything and it’s slightly sheer [...]
I’m not typically a lipstick kind of girl — in fact, I’m more into Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 than anything. But when I sat down with MAC Pro Team Senior Artist Caitlin Callahan I got to play the pick a colour, any colour game. What did she recommend? MAC Mineralize Rich in Everyday Diva. It’s bold, [...]
If MAC’s entire collection is essentially your makeup drawer, which five products would you consider essential? I met up with MAC Pro Team Senior Artist Caitlin Callahan at Metropolis at Metrotown to ask her exactly that.

Now I have one more reason to skip that step: the Rowenta Double Straight Flat Iron. It has a built-in comb that really bites into frizz. [...]
The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Instagram). Lions and dinos. The Lions Gate Bridge, which takes you from downtown Vancouver to the north shore mountains, is old by this city’s standards, but new compared to a prehistoric roadtripper. We call it “snewing”.
