- Kelly from Glitter Diaries takes a look at the Laura Mercier Flawless Face Book Palette in Sand AKA all you need for flawless skin.
- Speaking of flawless skin, the folks at Daily Candy have compiled their favourite concealers, foundations, tinted moisturizers, BB/CC creams and powders in one handy place.

- Office supplies as beauty tools? Yup.
- Gosh I love male makeup artists who demo makeup looks on themselves. Wayne Goss shows us how to use Yves St. Laurent's cult highlighter Touche Éclat. Hint: it's not an undereye concealer. This is also handy if you can't afford or don't like Touche Éclat and want to try another similar highlighter.
- Classic is classic for a reason - it never goes out of style. Elle Canada takes a look at some classic beauty products - how many have you used?
- And finally, Bust Magazine has a feature on The Adipositivity Project which is aiming to "widen definitions of physical beauty, literally" by featuring professionally taken photos of full-figured bodies, to show that they too, can be strong, confident and beautiful. Warning: some photos in the link are NSFW and some of the comments under the article are offensive.
