Repeated research has shown that when the economy goes into recession, the sale of lipstick increases.
Why?
Because women still want to look beautiful, feel pretty and splurge on themselves just a little bit.
So sure, they can’t really afford to drop cash on a Vanessa Bruno dress or swipe plastic on a pair of Barbara Bui heels [...]

 Award season in Los Angeles is gearing up big time, what with Golden Globe nominations already announce and with the Oscar list not far behind.
Essie teamed up with the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau to concoct a new, limited-edition nail shade called “Love, Beverly Hills xx”.
This color is as red as the carpets Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Sean Penn, Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise will be walking on come early next year — plus those flecks of 24-karat gold in the polish are as shiny as those coveted golden statues.

 Oh, Marina del Rey.
To kill time before checking in at the airport, I ventured to the seaside city of Marina del Rey, where the rays hit hotly and the yachts shine like brilliant three-carat diamonds in the harbor.

 Matching shoes, clothes and handbags is a no-no when it comes to style. It’s just as huge a no-no to match eye shadow with lipstick and nail polish.
What isn’t forbidden, however, is to match makeup colors with the season, as in pairing up your nail color this Fall ‘09 with the autumnal palette outside. This means when tree leaves leaves morph into brown and flutter slowly to earth, brushing that same color onto nails is the perfect manicure homage to a season of scarves, warm coats, crisp air and pumpkin spiced lattes.
