Top beauty blogs to bookmark
No matter your age, if you love all things beauty and lifestyle, you’re probably always on the lookout for information on the best and latest beauty finds and trends.
The digital realm features a wealth of fascinating information, whether it’s at uniprix.com, on e-versions of beauty magazines and, of course, on beauty blogs. Here are a few of our top picks.
What is a blog?
Beauty blogs are online platforms where bloggers – beauty experts or self-proclaimed lovers of cosmetics, hair nails, etc. – share and exchange information with their subscribers.
Given their growing popularity and the fact that they are constantly solicited by brands, most bloggers have adopted an editorial policy that promotes transparency and objectivity.
Canadian bloggers even have their own recognition gala – the MIB Awards – to reward the best blogs by category.

Fashion, beauty and everything lifestyle is what this blog by Marie Héroux (a.k.a. La P’tite Madame) is all about. A big fan of beauty blogs herself, Marie decided to launch one for all women, but more specifically for those over 40; after all, getting older does not mean getting dowdy!
