 Into storage went the cottons and linens and out of storage came the wool and cashmere.
Now that the air is beyond just a bit chilly, wearing cashmere sweaters is honestly one of the better ways to get through any grey, winter day.
That, and sipping on a pumpkin spice latte.

 Gone are the days when men sneak into their ladies’ bathroom cabinets for a squirt of body wash or a scoop of La Mer.
More and more, men are turning to brands like Jack Black, Anthony Logistics and French-based Sothys Homme, particularly that latter because of the brand’s male-friendly ingredient phytomalt, a hydroglycolic complex that comes from the distilled malt of Scottish whiskey.

Gail Federici, a former exec at John Frieda, launched MyFace Cosmetics, a line aimed at eradicating such a rampant problem among the clueless masses. The brand — whose item prices range is between $11 and $24 — is divided into “fair”, “medium” and “medium/dark” products, a move that both removes the hassle of having to pick out a makeup arsenal on your own and prevents one from picking out completely erroneous shades.

 The metrosexual contingent was spawned by the acceptance of men (by other men) using moisturizers, colognes (and not that cheap Brut stuff from the drugstore), lip balms and cuticle cream.
Most boyfriends and husbands will lie through their teeth when asked whether they used the last dollop of your Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on that dry patch underneath their right sideburn.

 Last week, the beauty industry was abuzz with rumors that cosmetics brand Hard Candy might be going under when the company’s website had 75 percent slashes in product prices. Top brass at Hard Candy are denying the gossip, saying the brand will continue operating their fragrance business, while repositioning other aspects of the company.
