Ah, the nail lacquer trends have me in a Houdini knot this fall. On the one hand, you have deep, rich and vampy shades like Christian Dior's Liquorice which is tinged with purple and metallic hues. On the other hand, you have Chanel's obsession with...
Black Carat is an intense black color and shinier than the traditional Black virtuôse color. As you can see from the picture below, my lashes became as black as soot and more thickly coated than my intensely lacquered nails.
I used a tester brush so I'm sure the lash separation factor was not as good as the regular brush...that's my only pet peeve about this mascara. Otherwise I think its glossy coat and intensely black color is a good addition to the Lancome virtuôse collection.
Because of my innate skeptical nature, I had to test out the MAC Lustre Twins to see if the color really did last the entire day as the salesperson assured me they would (she betted her firstborn on it...what a daredevil!). Luckily, she gets to keep her kid. It is hot, folks! We may as well be in a swamp zone in Florida, and our makeup is migrating down to our knees. Watching our makeup, blush and eyeshadow vanish into an oil slick by noon isn't our idea of fun in the sun. So...
Okay I shouldn't give political advice on a beauty site I know but that was too easy to resist. On sale on Monday is Stila's new Rock the Vote Red Lip Color to inspire women to vote. The lippie can purchased for $17 at www.stilacosmetics.com. 25% of...
Every summer we offer up our winter-white legs to "new and improved" self-tanning lotions, only to be sucker-punched by orange blotches that wouldn't look out of place on a giraffe. Frankly, we're tired of products that promise us the moon and end up giving us a chunk of an asteroid.
So we are thrilled to find a fabulous faux fix for our solar-shy extremities called Tarte Glam Gams Leg Bronzing Stick.
This push-up natural gardenia-scented stick is the real deal, giving legs a glowing, toned and taut appearance. The easy-to-apply bronzer is loaded with tarte's 5 super-fruit complex (acai, goji berry, pomegranate, acerola and maracuja) to protect, restore and refine the skin. It's also preservative-, paraben-, phthalate-, sulfate-, propylene glycol-, and mineral oil-free.
Whew. Bottom line? Your gams will be pencil skirt-ready. 
Have you walked away from a spa experience and thought, "Darn, I way overpaid for that treatment"?
Well, I have, and the thought of missed opportunities to buy extra shoes sent me into a depressive tailspin. My shrink, of course, had a glorious week following my lost $ and kept encouraging me to come back for more sessions, thereby fuelling more tailspin.
I exaggerate, of course, but you can see what a poor treatment or purchase can do to your fragile state of mind. Unless you experience a spa treatment that is as exceptional as an Armani Privé gown or vintage champagne, chances are you'll wish you spent your money elsewhere.
Well, Sphatika may be one of your best karmic bets. It is a day spa nestled in a buzzing block near Columbus Circle in New York, and the treatments use only pristine, chemical-free natural products and oils. Let's face it: the word "limited-edition" has gripped the beauty world with its "you-can't-catch-me" aura. I casually toss out the phrase "I'm wearing the Chanel limited edition Black Satin nail polish" at brunch and immediately bulging eyes like those of Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura...
Even if geologists predicted the mineral content of the Earth would dwindle by the year 2010, mineral makeup fanatics would find a way to stock up.We're crazy about mineral makeup, which is as old as the Little Black Dress or Lauren Hutton in the glossies,...
Chanel probably doesn’t care that commodity prices are actually increasing. Its fall makeup collection features gold as prominently as Gwen Stefani features red lipstick. You can toss that bottle of Black Satin nail polish out the window (too bad you spent your theatre money on getting...
Following the heels of Smashbox-O Gloss's phenomenal success comes a tool that no lady should be without, especially during pucker-up season. Tricia Sawyer's Clearly Pretty Color Revealing Lip Gloss made us kiss every strange boy, dog and girl in sight, and people were pushing us...
