Cold weather equals dry hands — hand cream is my best friend right now.
Cold weather also happens to equal split ends. Terrible, terrible split ends so long and deep, a haircut is often required to get rid of the problem.
Or at least a pair of trimming scissors to use during Gossip Girl commercials breaks.
Split ends [...]

In the world of perfumes, there are the obvious classics: Chanel No.5, Angel by Thierry Mugler, Shalimar by Guerlain, Miss Dior by Christian Dior, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Amarige de Givenchy by Givenchy and Obsession by Calvin Klein.
The only thing wrong with spritzing on a classic is that millions of other women are doing [...]

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 [...]

Get two girls together and invariably they’ll start talking makeup and clothes, much to the chagrin of their male companions.
This was the situation last Saturday night at a local wateringhole, where the (female) topic of discussion turned to the use of face primer between sips of lychee martinis.
My girlfriend had received a sample of Smashbox’s [...]

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.
This may or may not include making a long, long list of resolutions, but it can mean cleansing your habitat of old papers, cards, clothes, [...]

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.
Nail polish accounts for a big sector in the cosmetics market — Chanel Vamp, anyone? — so that means the [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
