I will sing the praises of Benefit bronzers and powders until the day I go to the big makeup counter and Vogue closet in the sky.
In fact, I’ll admit right now that I own two Benefit Dallas bronzers, just in case.
Benefit has a new addition to their cosmetic stable: a coral-hued, all-over face powder number [...]

To see what’s happening in beauty trends, the wisest (and most obvious) place to look is the runway and the collections coming down it.
It was clear the the fashion set that sequins were going to be huge last autumn-winter ‘09 and into the holiday season — those who have fallen for those glittery, shimmery little [...]

I can just imagine how many ladies across the world woke up on January 1 feeling and looking like they’d been put through the wringer the night before.
Too much bubbly, all-night dancing and midnight kisses before ushering in the new year can do that to a gal.
These ladies probably should have had their hands on [...]

 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.

 When I was younger, my mother and grandmother continually extolled the benefits of rubbing lemon juice on the face.
Though it killed festering bacteria and smoothed out the tone of my complexion, the harsh acid got the best of me after awhile, leaving yours truly to leave the lemons for lemonade.

 Bronzer is a beauty product that applies (or is applied) year-round.
It works in the spring/summer season because it gives shimmer to a sun-kissed face, and it is necessary in the fall/winter season because it gives color to a deathly pale, vitamin D-deprived skin. And we, by nature and a wee bit of vanity, want to continually emulate a complexion of the sun-kissed variety.

 I predict brown or green-eyed ladies will go beserk for this new mascara hue — apply it as a full color for fun or apply it over regular mascara just at the eyelash tips for an eye-brightening effect.
