 For a generation hellbent on instant gratification, online shopping is quickly becoming the norm when having to buy presents for one’s self or others.
Thanks to major e-tailers like Shopbop.com, Zappos.com, Yoox.com, Bluefly.com and Makeup.com, fashion and beauty junkies can shop for Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses, Gucci riding boots and Ole Henriksen scrubs in pajamas — no need to go through the pain of having the dress up in order to avoid shopping discrimination, a la Julia Roberts in ‘Pretty Woman’.
Fulfilling your favorite beauty junkie’s holiday wish list — even if it means it’s your own — is going to be easier than ever this 2008.

 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.

 Say the word “tiger” and I’ll think of three things: Siegfried & Roy, Frosted Flakes and William Blakes’ famous poem, aptly named “The Tiger”.
Olivia Chantecaille of Chantecaille Cosmetics is getting on the striped beast’s bandwagon, releasing a limited-edition makeup collection based on the majestic creature — the Bengal bronzer is beautifully laser-etched with an image of a royal Bengal tiger.

 The end of October is slowly creeping up, meaning November is almost here.
This, in turn, means holiday season has begun and invitations to parties and Christmas company gatherings are stamped, in the mail and in need of your RSVP. Holiday soirees are best for swilling free Dom or Veuve, wearing that sparkly new LBD and, of course, debuting a fabulous hairdo.
That’s where Chris Funk comes in.

 The entrance of October means many, many things: Jacket season, changing leaves, spiced lattes, Daylight Savings, Halloween, Oktoberfest, soups at dinner and pumpkin anything.
Pumpkin, that bright orange squash, is homey and familial, known more for ingesting in pie, cookie, latte or roasted seed forms. Less known are its contributions to preserving and conversing beauty because this melon gourd is packed with protein and zinc, as well as serves as a cholesterol combatant.

 Throw the words “limited-edition” in front of the word “collection” if you want to see a mad scramble of ladies hot-footing it to the nearest luxe department store or it-boutique.
Limited-edition collections for makeup usually get released to the consumptive market around fall and holiday seasons because, quite simply, they make great gifts for someone, not to mention for yourself.
