 When it comes to the consumption of anything, women of the new millenium have scores of choices, but very little time to make them.

Suki makes that crucial choice that much easier for you: Suki Lemongrass Cleanser (Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser). This product is rated 5/5 with over 22 reviews.

 Getting eight hours sleep has somehow become a serious luxury these days.
What with work stress, relationships, deadlines, bills and life in general, a round of shut-eye for six hours is considered absolutely fantastic.
The holiday season doesn’t really help out self-induced insomnia issues, with people flitting from this party to that party downing bubbly, so by the time Christmas dinner avec the family comes around, one might look a little…haggard.

 For a generation hellbent on instant gratification, online shopping is quickly becoming the norm when having to buy presents for one’s self or others.
Thanks to major e-tailers like Shopbop.com, Zappos.com, Yoox.com, Bluefly.com and Makeup.com, fashion and beauty junkies can shop for Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses, Gucci riding boots and Ole Henriksen scrubs in pajamas — no need to go through the pain of having the dress up in order to avoid shopping discrimination, a la Julia Roberts in ‘Pretty Woman’.
Fulfilling your favorite beauty junkie’s holiday wish list — even if it means it’s your own — is going to be easier than ever this 2008.

 The natural, unblemished youthfulness of Courtney Cox is questionable at best, at least to me anyway.
Cox, who is surprisingly unlined despite her age creeping up there, has been the face of skin care brand Kinerase for the past few years and just signed up with Avon to hawk their new scent, Spotlight. This olfactory blend is a fresh oriental, meaning mandarin, sandalwood, vanilla and Italian bergamot, confected by IFF perfumer Monique Remy.
Her reason for joining Avon?
“(Avon) truly celebrates and empowers women and this fragrance captures that essence – that all women are in the spotlight in their own unique ways and this fragrance highlights the excitement and the exhilaration of that feeling,” says the former “Friends” star.

 Today, a very interesting news item came out about the FDA reporting that glaucoma drugs appear to make eyelashes look longer and fuller when applied to the lash base.
This brings up the question, should drugs used to treat health conditions be used for cosmetic purposes?
Though some patients reported at least “minimal” growth with Lumigan (the current market name), a few dropped out of the study because of irritation and redness of the eye.
That’s enough to make me pass.

 When it comes to color, Pantone usually has the final say.
It appears the color of the year for 2009 is mimosa, as in not the alcoholic beverage preferred by ladies that brunch, but an orange-hued yellow bright enough to sear a cornea.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says, “The colour yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance. Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

 What’s the best way for a beauty-obsessed girl to spend a dreary, rainy early Saturday afternoon?
In the company of Jennifer Ho, a west coast member of Benefit Cosmetics’ makeup artist roster, naturally.
I arrived at my 1 pm appointment feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to be made glamourous by Jennifer and her arsenal of Benefit goodies. After sitting down in the high chair, she informed me that the brand has actually been around for 30 years, a piece of trivia not known by most.
Benefit is insistent of keeping makeup fun, clearly evidenced by the very cute, pretty packaging and tongue-in-cheek (or is that chic?) product monikers. Jennifer informed me what the brand likes to do is “solve every day beauty dilemmas”, so heavy eye shadow and bright, bright lips aren’t on the cosmetic menu each day of the week.

 Back in the day, my mother would have quite possibly disowned me if I ever came home with a blazing tattoo.
Now that I’m in my mid-late twenties, it turns out my mother’s dislike for ink art was pretty sound because getting inked wouldn’t have been my thing, but it doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate needled designs on the bodies of others.
Like Kat Von D.
