Cold weather equals dry hands — hand cream is my best friend right now.

Split ends [...]

If you stop to really think about the kinds of chemicals we subject our bodies to in the name of beauty, we’d probably think twice about some of the products we apply on a regular basis.

Three reasons to own a good concealer:
1. Too much fun occurred the night before.
2. A good brand shaves a few years off your real age if applied properly.
3. No one wakes up wanting to look like Wednesday Addams. Be gone, dark eye circles.
So what three concealers are best to have at the bottom of [...]

Q: I’ve been noticing a lot more blackheads on my nose than I’d like. Since splurging on a $100 facial during a major economic downturn doesn’t seem like the smartest financial move do, I’m considering an investment in Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. But before I fork over the dough — no matter how minimal [...]

New Year’s Eve has passed, the champagne bottles have been put away and resolution lists are slowly getting made.
Though the economic downturn has cast a shadow over the world, I still feel like 2009 is going to be a very good year because the feeling of change is literally palpable in the air — and [...]

 I swear the biggest reasons that one of the popular girls in my high school was popular was because of her perfectly angled cat’s-eye, drawn on daily with liquid liner.
I’ll admit, she looked great, but the liquid liner was a little too dramatic for my liking.
Fast forward years later to now, when thoughts of cat’s-eye makeup effects for the holidays and New Year’s Eve seem like a really, really good idea.
Thanks to POP Beauty’s Cat Eyes Automatic Pencil (which was a gift!), I can give myself the look in a less dramatic way because the brand’s pencil is a easy-to-draw-on kohl, not steadfast liquid, so if you make a big boo-boo of a mistake, it’s quite easily fixable. Plus, these angled pencils give you more control over how high or long you want that cat-eye.

 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.

 New Yorkers in search of a pretty new smell might want to make a trip to Bergdorf Goodman tonight apres the office.
Catherine Barber and Annette Williams will giving out their two-cents at the Cafe on the beauty level of the luxe department store from 6 pm to 8 pm, telling woman which Donna Karan fragrances (including the original Donna Karan Signature scent, Chaos, Fuel for Men, Black Cashmere and the Donna Karan Essence Collection) best suit their personality through using a host of colors, sounds and images.
Think of it as a sort of tarot card session, only you’ll be learning about smells, rather than the current state of your relationship union (or un-union).
