 Back to School – The phrase dreaded by students all over the world. As daunting and terrible as it might seem to give up the sunny summer days and the endless fun, admit it, you like this time of year.
While going back to school might not be appealing to all, the excuse to buy new clothes and new gadgets definitely is. This year, while you’re stocking up on clothes, new pens, binders and rulers, consider adding Tweezerman® products to your dorm room, backpack and locker.
The absolute must have? Tweezerman’s FileMate. This colorfully designed file is extremely portable and looks great in its snap-close case, not to mention being easy to find in your backpack and purse.

 Sometimes we hear people talk about natural ingredients as “feel good” but not “do good”. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Some of the most powerful skincare ingredients exist in nature. The challenge is to make them available in the combinations and doses that will do the most good.
Chamomile Eye Oil by SUNDARI is an example of natural ingredients working their miracle. This product was tested through an independent lab in the US.
The results were quite remarkable –
Ask me to choose between lip gloss and lipstick and I’ll choose lip gloss.
Ask me what color I’d pick in lip gloss and I’ll say raspberry.
That’s why when I asked my girlfriend if I could borrow her lip gloss while we were on a trip out of town this and she handed me L’Oreal’s Color [...]

Discovering primer was the best thing to happen to me since discovering the the joint benefits of mascara and shu uemura eyelash curlers.

My new favorite is Fresh Rose FreshFace Primer, a sweet-smelling — [...]

Flipping through the latest March issue of NYLON, I couldn’t help but wonder — in classic Carrie Bradshaw speak — how actress Camilla Belle got that great, natural looking lip color in her Marvin Scott Jarrett-shot editorial spread.

For the fashion set, the seven-day bonanza — best known as Fashion Week — of runway collections, after-parties, celebrity sightings, free Veuve, swag bags, front-row gossip and nights dancing at hip joints takes a detrimental toll physically (body can’t function, unless on eBoost or sugar-free Red Bull), mentally (mind can’t keep track of all next [...]

Some ingredients find themselves time and time again in beauty products and, thus, us beauty junkies have gotten used to their presence in our face washes, moisturizers, toners and the like.
