Who said moist toilette wipes were just for babies and patrons at the local Tony Roma’s joint?
Sometimes you touch a sketchy public door, shake the questionable hands of a business associate, eat a giant piece of garlic at lunch, get a smudge on your Chanel frames, chip your nail polish or find something mysteriously sticky [...]

Remember Daisy Fuentes?
The one-time MTV veejay and television show host was huge, huge, huge in the late nineties and early 2000s — she was kind of like the poor man’s Cindy Crawford, with really good hair.
Fuentes is launching a nine-piece haircare collection called Daisy Fuentes Style Pro this coming March, as a way to pay [...]

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.
Okay, well, it may [...]

Continuing on the same vein as a few posts ago, in discussion of where to find cult fragrances, is the topic of Coqui Coqui Perfumes, a scent collection founded by former male model and current hot hotelier, Nicolas Malleville.
The 32-year-old Argentinian model left life in front of the camera lenses of photographers like Mario Testino [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
