How to Be: Betty & Veronica with the MAC Archie’s Girls Makeup Collection



How could a jalopy drivin’ ginger from Riverdale score two of the hottest chicks in town? Your guess is as good as mine!

Aliya-Jasmine makes for a perfect sultry Ronnie and Liz is the quintessential Betty. Join us as we head over to the Choklit Shoppe for some fun makeup looks from the new collection! read more…

15 Under $15: Lucky’s Favourite Cheap & Cheerful Beauty Products

Here are my favourite products (in no particular order) that you can pick up for $15 or less! read more…
