Black Friday, Cyber Monday.
It’s a holiday shopping bonanza going down, as people have already begun gearing up to purchase gifts and surprises for the season.
Thank god Cyber Monday means you can purchase goodies in less than five mouse clicks, as in not leaving the comfort of your home, office cubicle or pajamas.

Today is Friday, but it’s not just any old Friday.
This Friday is also known as “Black Friday”, which is also known as the first day of the Christmas shopping season.
Besides bagging new clothes (Kova & T leggings for sure), a couple pairs of shoes (Sam Edelman Lombardo booties in grey) and some accessories (another chunky cocktail ring, perhaps?), I wouldn’t mind picking up a few good things for my ever-burgeoning beauty stash.

Clowns are for kids and circuses, not for the hip, professional woman wearing her favorite NARS blush.
Unless you’re Anna Piaggi, who has the world’s sole “Get Out Of Jail Free” card for applying perfectly round circles of blush to apple cheeks, every blush-toting lady needs to learn the rules of application.

Dark circles under the eye are telltale signs that you either had a big night out with the girls, been inflicted with random bouts of insomnia, stayed up late watching back-to-back DVD episodes of Dexter or inherited a rather unfortunate aesthetic hereditary trait from the fam.
The bad news is you can’t erase dark under eye circles from existence, despite beauty products here, there and everywhere saying they can do it for you. And even worse news is they tend to get more prominent with age, as the delicate skin under the eyes gets thinner and blood vessels get more visible.

As they say, the more is always merrier.
In consumer-speak, “the more” means extra product, perks, functions or results. Cosmetics companies understand regular folk are short of time (24 hours = not enough), space (more money, less room for new shoebox apartments downtown) and patience (directly related to lack of time plus space). Thank the beauty gods, because more of them are focusing on two-in-one innovations that give to relief — and added functionality — to all three.

I paid a visit to my local beauty counter today in search of a bronzer that could keep my fleeting tan from fading.
The lovely girl who helped me — made even more lovely with her French accent — took me through the usual suspects, like BeneFit and Make Up For Ever, before introducing me to Dior’s Bronze Sun Powder Spray. She pulled the can off its display, sprayed the product onto a bronzing brush and swept it onto the inside of my wrist to test out the color.
Bobbi Brown — star makeup artist, owner of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and creator of the best ever Shimmer Lip Gloss (I personally went through three tubes of the Nude shade in four months) — is also apparently a staunch democrat.
