Hot Link: Sugar Shock

Globe and Mail Update


Navigating the seemingly boundless world of beauty products can be challenging for even the most seasoned lip-gloss junkie. Thankfully, makeup aficionado Kristen Vinakmens is here to help.

At beauty blog Sugar Shock, Vinakmens — a former lackey at a beauty magazine — is in the driver's seat with her sights set on one thing: making you look good.

Highlights include Look of the Week, which features red-carpet moments of starlets with standout makeup, as well as Model Moment, short profiles of current it-mannequins on the scene.

But what we like most are the site's penchant for highlighting the best new beauty loot and its dedication to seeking out hard-to-find products.

Vinakmens's sugary tone is a bit hard to swallow, but she makes up for it with top-notch giveaways. Forget the sample size lipsticks — a recent contest featured a bottle of Tom Ford's Black Orchid. Sweet!
