This beauty contribution is from Risi-Leanne Baranja, editor-in-chief of Palacinka (pal-a-chink-ah) Beauty Blog Vichy has created a little wonder that helps reduce eye puffiness and freshens the eye area - and is like carrying your own little bag of ice with you where ever you go! Vichy has combined Citrus Plyphenol, a powerful anti-oxidant which works to combat stress in the skin (e.g. puffiness and dark circles), along with their classic Vichy thermal water in a solid eye treatment stick you simply swivel up and apply.
I used this many mornings and loved how it felt. Just a few swipes of this tiny stick and the smooth, light formula instantly cooled the area and began to tone and freshen my eyes. I found it very easy to apply concealer and other makeup on afterwards.
The cooling effect does wear off after about a few minutes or so, but this can be used for touch ups whenever the need arises, like after a long flight, day at the office or running around on the weekends. My eyes looked and felt fresher with regular use, and also felt really hydrated, so this is perfect for those of you also concerned with fine lines.

“It's Coach, but different,” explains their perfume rep at the Coach Poppy fragrance launch. Everyone thinks they know the Coach brand, and though Poppy carries on that timeless femininity of their previous scents, Signature and Legacy, it twists it in a punchy new direction. The top...

Many of you may have been alarmed by the recent EWG analysis of the findings released by the FDA and the National Toxicology Program. The report gave consumers a real scare, saying that many sunscreens on the market are not good for you, and that the Vitamin A in sunscreens could potentially be carcinogenic. To quote the report, "In that yearlong study, tumors and lesions developed up to 21 percent faster in lab animals coated in a vitamin A-laced cream than animals treated with a vitamin-free cream." the report said. And apparently only 39 products out of the 500 they examined were considered safe. Now, in our opinion, while you are understandebly as scared by this report as we were when we watched The Shining, we decided to seek expert commentary on this huge scoop of news. While EWG claims that the FDA knew about this and conducted a study of its own (and reached similar conclusions), the FDA is denying this. Dr. Ellen Marmur, author of the book Simple Skin Beauty, and Chief of Dermatologic & Cosmetic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center says that that source of the information in this story is very important. The EWG, no matter how informative of a consumer web site, is not the FDA. "The safety concerns about cosmeceuticals, such as retinols, and sunscreens/sunblocks are extremely important. But, there is a surprising lack of good science looking at whether these chemicals penetrate our skin or are absorbed into our bodies," she says.

Every girl needs some Tom Ford in her life. This may come in the form of his movie, his clothes, a man who enjoys his tailored, Saville-Row esque pleasures we call suits. The Tom Ford Private Blend Lipsticks are twelve essential gems that will decorate the most sensuous part of your face. Ford himself has said, "There is no more dramatic accessory than the perfect lip," and we agree. Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Liz Taylor all agree. Makeup Review, Swatches: Tom Ford Private Blend Lipsticks: Islands of Color Makeup Review, Swatches: Tom Ford Private Blend Lipsticks: Islands of Color The personal color palette of the Private Blend Lipsticks spans all shades of the color spectrum, from bare nude to fire red to deep brown. I love each of the names...they sit like honey on the tongue, and wear like silk on the lips:

The popcorn movie days of summer are here once again, and there's no movie more anticipated, or more beautiful than SATC2 as it is affectionately known in girl talk. First off, the clothes are nothing short of spectacular. Patricia Fields is the brains behind the wardrobe, and she brings out the very best in all the actresses with her trademark affection for '80s bling and fetching head wear (considering that this set in the Middle East, after all!). But, since we are here to gasp (and revel) in the breathtaking beauty of the four women who never ever seem to age (seriously, if we looked this good when we are past 40, we'd be thrilled to bits). So, now that we are finally on the subject of beauty, which SATC star are you most likely to channel? Carrie Her look in SATC2 is both extremely feminine yet edgy. Her hair has relaxed natural waves but we're smitten with her predominantly pink makeup. If you want to channel an SATC2 Carrie, then go for a very delicate blush (we love Nars' Orgasm), thick eyeliner and mascara (we are crazy over Lancome's Hypnose Drama and MAC Cosmetics Fluidline in Blacktrack). Just apply gloss to get this look: no muss, no fuss. Charlotte Kristin Davis' look has always been about Park Avenue elegance and here she plays that role perfectly by letting her hair down in loose curls and wearing minimal makeup. Make sure your eyebrows are beautifully groomed (try Elke Von Freudenberg's products at TheModelBrow.com) and rock a stylish shade of coral lippie (we love the new Tom Ford Private Blend lipsticks; try the shade in Cherry Lush).
