 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.

 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.

 Jemma Kidd is all grown up.
The London-based makeup artist, wife of an earl (making her a countess) and sister of model Jodie Kidd is moving past her drugstore roots and is entering a higher echelon of cosmetics by bidding goodbye to UK retailer Boots and moving into Space NK.
Adding to her Jemma Kidd Make Up School line, the blonde beauty launched her Skin-Intelligents range yesterday, in conjunction with announcing her retailer move.

 Your average male is oddly secretive when it comes to fashion and beauty.
Men go through great lengths to ensure you don’t find out they flip through your glossy magazines (likely reading up on those Cosmo tips!) and rifle through your beauty arsenal when you’re not around, but if they happen to be over and need some hair product, they’ll sheepishly ask. The best thing to do, in this case, is provide them with a wee arsenal of their own.
My recommendation is to go with Every Man Jack, an afforable, male-conscious range of products — for hair, body, skin and shave — made in the great NoCal city of San Francisco.

 The annual November chill wreaks havoc on all things: your hair, boots, skin, clothes and attitude in general.
After all, no one likes nights that roll in at 4 pm — and no one likes torrential downpours that equate frizz and frazzle.
I suppose the two bright spots in November are Thanksgiving long weekends and the excuse to really start jotting down a wish list of things you wouldn’t mind finding under your tree for the holidays.
Here is a little wish list of top five beauty products that will keep you pretty right into the New Year and will make it a very happy holiday, indeed.
