To see what’s happening in beauty trends, the wisest (and most obvious) place to look is the runway and the collections coming down it.
It was clear the the fashion set that sequins were going to be huge last autumn-winter ‘09 and into the holiday season — those who have fallen for those glittery, shimmery little [...]

Q: My hair feels like it’s gained a hefty 10 pounds. After all the leave-in conditioners, high-gloss serums, waxes, mousse and hairspray I use constantly week after week, my mane is getting weighed down. How do I make it light, bouncy and shiny again? This product gunk has to go.

What happens during winter?
Let’s see: Christmas, busy travel schedules to visit the folks and old friends, last-minute shopping for presents, chapped lips, frizzy hair, increasing levels of sugar consumption (ginger molasses cookies with cream cheese filling are were my nemesis during Holiday ‘08), massive ingestion of alcoholic beverages (rum and eggnog, yikes!) and dry skin.
The [...]

Who said moist toilette wipes were just for babies and patrons at the local Tony Roma’s joint?

Every woman at some point in her life — especially when those crow’s feet start getting rather prominent — wishes she could have a big gulp from a fountain of youth.
She’d travel far and wide in five-inch stilettos if necessary.
This said fountain of youth may no longer be just a myth, ladies.
