 Black Friday, Cyber Monday.
It’s a holiday shopping bonanza going down, as people have already begun gearing up to purchase gifts and surprises for the season.
Thank god Cyber Monday means you can purchase goodies in less than five mouse clicks, as in not leaving the comfort of your home, office cubicle or pajamas.

 Q: The winter cold is making my mane a hot mess. Frizz, split ends, static — you name it, my hair has it. How can I protect my precious hair shafts from looking like I stuck my finger in an electric socket throughout the entire chilly season?

 In my line of work, attending events, store openings, galas and shopping soirees is part of the required job description.
Come holiday season, invitation arrivals go into overdrive, flooding my email inbox (who uses snail mail anymore?) and packing the iCal event bubbles in my MacBook.
It gets increasingly difficult to turn down a glass or three of champagne after a hard day’s work of thinking and typing, not to mention refusing the delicious finger foods and canapes circling of shiny silver trays held by beautiful people.
More often than not, champagne and canapes turn into a late evening and a bout of stunted sleep.
Thank god HollywoodSecrets 5 Minute Eye Transformation ($89.95) is my new best friend.

 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.

 We’ve all been there before.
The shrieking alarm goes off at 7 am and you turn it off, deciding to rest your eyes for just another five minutes. Five minutes turns into a full-on hour, and suddenly, you’re scrambling into work clothes and hightailing it to the office sans shower.
Sometimes pulling your mane into a ponytail isn’t enough to hide greasy bangs and roots. That’s when you should have Principessa Bianco Breeze Hair & Body Powder underneath the sink. This powder takes care of more than your mane — it also doubles as a dirty body savior, sopping up extra oils with its chamomile, calendula, Vitamin E and aloe ingredient combination. And it smells as pretty as the package looks.

 Rachel Roy — the beautiful wife and baby mama of hip hop mogul Damon Dash — has consistently been making her mark in the industry after launching her namesake fashion line.
Everyone’s now scrambling to work with Mrs. Dash, including heavyweights in the beauty world, probably trying to score an insider’s discount to her to-die-for contrasting Sioux dress or Hana trench.

 The other day, someone put the fear in me when it comes to deodorants and antiperspirants by mentioning the potential cancer-causing chemicals harboring within them.
It’s something I had never stopped to think about, having been a stick and gel user for the past, oh, 14 or 15 years of my life.
Looking at the back of my current antipersirpant — Speedstick Gel 24/7 in Fresh Rush (I’ve never been one for the girly scents) — I realized any label that reads “If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away” should set off major red flags.
