Beauty Squared Round-up - May 27, 2012


Can you recognize the famous actress in the photo above? She's been transformed for the cover of Candy magazine. And if you're a fan, follow this Twitter account for some amusement.


Gabi Gregg, style blogger, recently put together a slideshow of "hot sexy fat girls in skimpy swimwear" to celebrate the fact that not only slim girls or "toned fat girls" are confident enough to wear bikinis. The feedback received however was surprising.


Temptalia features an interview with skincare expert and esthetician, Renee Rouleau about sunscreen. The post is called 'Five Things to Know About Sunscreen' and there's lots to learn from it!



The FDA is implementing new regulations on sunscreen labelling beginning June 18. Temptalia has gathered a few links and an infographic put together by Olay to help explain what's happening. B2 did some research on Canada's sunscreen regulations to see if we have something similar in place here, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem that we do. This article from last year's Globe and Mail addresses it.


It's summertime, which means that beauty-loving ladies struggle to keep looking fresh and pretty in the summer heat and humidity. Fashion Indie has a list of some of their favourite waterproof makeup here

DIY Necklaces

http://www.sweetspot.ca/ is Canada's Sweetest Lifestyle Guide and I get their emails everyday telling me about restaurants, shopping, gift ideas and events. One of my creative outlets is jewellery making so this video was one I clicked on right away. I thought I'd share it with you. Jewellery making is fun and you can create your own styles rather than depending on what the stores have available.



This video shows you three versions of the open necklace that requires minimal tools and skills but gives you three new necklaces, in whatever styles you choose.







Enjoy!
