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.

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.

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.

Flip on the television, watch the runways, browse through glossy magazines and you’ll see one thing in common: Shiny, bright whites.
Chiclets of perfection are hard to come by, unless your first and last names are Julia and Roberts. Pristine and blanched choppers have gone through serious work, usually at the hands of some Beverly Hills or Upper East Side cosmetic dentist with tanks of nitrous oxide.

Sayonara, Carmen Electra.
Gisele Bundchen has been named the new face for Max Factor in North America, replacing Electra, who has been the cosmetic company’s face since 2006. The ads, shot by Nick Knight (who did all the Kate Moss Agent Provocateur spots) and starring Bunchen, will get slots in the October issues of all your favorite glossies.
