 It seems that everywhere you look you are bombarded with the words, ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ but do we truly know the meaning of these words? What is the difference between natural and organic makeup? In the hopes of obtaining healthier products we tend to reach for the natural or organic brands. Although these words may seem similar it is important to be aware of the differences and to make an informed decision when purchasing such products.
A product labeled “natural” simply means that it has not been chemically altered from its original state and nothing as been removed or added. Natural products are derived from natural plants or animal sources but the use of the term is not regulated or certified.

Get two girls together and invariably they’ll start talking makeup and clothes, much to the chagrin of their male companions.
This was the situation last Saturday night at a local wateringhole, where the (female) topic of discussion turned to the use of face primer between sips of lychee martinis.
My girlfriend had received a sample of Smashbox’s [...]

 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.

 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.

 The annual November chill wreaks havoc on all things: your hair, boots, skin, clothes and attitude in general.
After all, no one likes nights that roll in at 4 pm — and no one likes torrential downpours that equate frizz and frazzle.
I suppose the two bright spots in November are Thanksgiving long weekends and the excuse to really start jotting down a wish list of things you wouldn’t mind finding under your tree for the holidays.
Here is a little wish list of top five beauty products that will keep you pretty right into the New Year and will make it a very happy holiday, indeed.
