I’ll always have a soft spot for L’Occitane En Provence, because it was the brand that marked my transition from buying only drugstore beauty products to buying luxe ones.
L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream was my first luxe purchase, all shiny in its malleable silver and blue tube with black cap. The contents inside made my [...]

When the clock finally ticks away from the old year, many thoughts turn to how we can make the new one the best year ever.
Or at least better than the last.

I can just imagine how many ladies across the world woke up on January 1 feeling and looking like they’d been put through the wringer the night before.
Too much bubbly, all-night dancing and midnight kisses before ushering in the new year can do that to a gal.
These ladies probably should have had their hands on [...]

Hands down, the best cartoons were born out of the 80s: Tom & Jerry, Care Bears, My Little Pony, She-Ra: Princess of Power, Jem & The Holograms, Strawberry Shortcake, G.I. Joe and The Smurfs.
People are irresistibly drawn to the cartoon world because it brings them back to happy, shiny childhood moments — trust me, I [...]

 When I first started blogging for Makeup.com, I was obsessed with Narcisco Rodriguez For Her, the eau du parfum verison in that simple, modern, pretty pastel pink bottle.
Narciso Rodriguez had me at hello. Or at least first sniff.
Rodriguez is going to make Spring ‘09 a whole lot better me and a lot of scent-loving ladies with his new Essence Eaux De Parfum Collection, which not only has a fragrance but a deodorant spray, body lotion and shower gel, too.

 Who knew Dame Edna Everage would end up being a MAC muse?
Following the heels of Hello Kitty for MAC is the purple-coiffed Australian drag queen — played by Barry Humphries since the mid-1950s — is now MAC’s latest collaborator. Fully recognizable, thanks to her lilac-colored hair and cat-eye glasses, Dame Edna inspires the limited-edition MAC collection with all sorts of purple and sparkle, the packaging stamped with glittery red glasses, gladiolas (her favorite flower) and her loopy signature.

 Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers may play King Henry the VII in The Tudors, and in real life, he’s just been crowned the face of Hugo Boss’ new marine-influenced scent for men.
Hugo Element, which launches sometime in early 2009, will be targeted toward the young urban man “who lives in harmony with his time”. Rhys Meyers is no stranger to the modeling scene, mugging for Versace and Club Monaco before his acting career — plus, he currently fronts Hugo by Hugo Boss (since 2006), so the new campaign isn’t too much of a stretch.

 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.
