I had no idea that Valentine's Day had another acronym: S.A.D. (Singles Awarness Day). Yes, it's truly sad to put the spotlight on singles during a day designed for couples, but Frederic Fekkai is softening the blow. Visit any Fekkai salon during the month of February...

Talk about an enlightening experience. We pay an arm and leg to our stylist, secretly suspecting we're putting her kids through college, only to have our color bite the dust all too soon. So when we discovered Pravana Naturceuticals Sulfate-Free Pure Light Brightening Shampoo and...

Everyone is about the bling on the red carpet. If you didn't notice Eva Mendes' sculptural blue necklace that had everyone "oohing" and "aahing" you are either: a) Color Blind b) Without cable c) Were watching "24" instead of the Globes last night. Tsk, tsk. Ms. Mendes wore a...

Moisture is the thing our skin craves this season. And Ojon is what our skin secretly craves. Remember the Black Ball we wrote about? The one that smelt exactly like chocolate and the one that my Golden Retriever secretly tried to gobble up? Well,...

Kingsley has been tapped by celebrities and royalty for years and is the author of two books: The Hair Bible: A Complete Guide to Health & Care, and Happy Hair Days: 50 Tips for Healthy Hair. Some of his strongest advocates have included Audrey Hepburn and Candice Bergen.
Frankly, we're getting tired of giving you stories that link cancer and makeup. We're not sure what R&D scientists are out there gunning for those of us wearing lipstick and eye shadow, but it sure sounds like they want us to look like Charlize Theron in Monster: unkempt, unwashed, sans makeup. Thanks to scientists from Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, you can now feel really scared wearing innocent lip gloss. Here's the official start to the story:

Skip over Filenes. Gloss over a few pre-eminent cafes, and find yourself at the doorstep of high-end beauty's next home: Bluemercury Apothecary & Spa. Founder Marla Malcolm Beck personally picks each product she carries in her store, which is testament enough to her due diligence. From best sellers that include Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Cobalt, Frederic Fekkai SunShine Shield Spray to the hard to find Acqua di Parma Colonia EDP, the shelves have every eye-catching, trendy and effective cosmetic that's worthy of the name.
