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.
A: Two words: clarifying shampoo. Believe [...]

Q: I’ve been noticing a lot more blackheads on my nose than I’d like. Since splurging on a $100 facial during a major economic downturn doesn’t seem like the smartest financial move do, I’m considering an investment in Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. But before I fork over the dough — no matter how minimal [...]

 New Yorkers in search of a pretty new smell might want to make a trip to Bergdorf Goodman tonight apres the office.
Catherine Barber and Annette Williams will giving out their two-cents at the Cafe on the beauty level of the luxe department store from 6 pm to 8 pm, telling woman which Donna Karan fragrances (including the original Donna Karan Signature scent, Chaos, Fuel for Men, Black Cashmere and the Donna Karan Essence Collection) best suit their personality through using a host of colors, sounds and images.
Think of it as a sort of tarot card session, only you’ll be learning about smells, rather than the current state of your relationship union (or un-union).

 Getting eight hours sleep has somehow become a serious luxury these days.
What with work stress, relationships, deadlines, bills and life in general, a round of shut-eye for six hours is considered absolutely fantastic.
The holiday season doesn’t really help out self-induced insomnia issues, with people flitting from this party to that party downing bubbly, so by the time Christmas dinner avec the family comes around, one might look a little…haggard.

 What’s the best way for a beauty-obsessed girl to spend a dreary, rainy early Saturday afternoon?
In the company of Jennifer Ho, a west coast member of Benefit Cosmetics’ makeup artist roster, naturally.
I arrived at my 1 pm appointment feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to be made glamourous by Jennifer and her arsenal of Benefit goodies. After sitting down in the high chair, she informed me that the brand has actually been around for 30 years, a piece of trivia not known by most.
Benefit is insistent of keeping makeup fun, clearly evidenced by the very cute, pretty packaging and tongue-in-cheek (or is that chic?) product monikers. Jennifer informed me what the brand likes to do is “solve every day beauty dilemmas”, so heavy eye shadow and bright, bright lips aren’t on the cosmetic menu each day of the week.
