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. ]]> http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-gift-guide-top-five-picks-from-makeupcom/2008/feed/ 0 http://www.makeup.com/blog/beauty-tips-black-friday-beauty-must-haves/2008/ http://www.makeup.com/blog/beauty-tips-black-friday-beauty-must-haves/2008/#comments Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:13:46 +0000 May http://www.makeup.com/blog/?p=1586 Today is Friday, but it's not just any old Friday.

Besides bagging new clothes (Kova & T leggings for sure), a couple pairs of shoes (Sam Edelman Lombardo booties in grey) and some accessories (another chunky cocktail ring, perhaps?), I wouldn't mind picking up a few good things for my ever-burgeoning beauty stash. ]]> http://www.makeup.com/blog/beauty-tips-black-friday-beauty-must-haves/2008/feed/ 0 http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-wish-list-top-five-beauty-products-for-christmas-08/2008/ http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-wish-list-top-five-beauty-products-for-christmas-08/2008/#comments Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:58:53 +0000 May http://www.makeup.com/blog/?p=1533 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. ]]> http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-wish-list-top-five-beauty-products-for-christmas-08/2008/feed/ 1 http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-makeup-tips-mia-difrancesco-licata-of-kiss-my-face/2008/ http://www.makeup.com/blog/holiday-makeup-tips-mia-difrancesco-licata-of-kiss-my-face/2008/#comments Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:49:48 +0000 May http://www.makeup.com/blog/?p=1495 Mia DiFrancesco-Licata, the resident skin care expert and National Trainer for organic cosmetics brand Kiss My Face, shares "How To Get Green and Glam!"

Stress is often high on the list for those who host holiday dinners and soirees, with all the running around, cleaning, food preparation, serving and entertaining. Time is of the essence and is rather scarce when basting turkeys, blending mashed potatoes and baking candied yams.
