Clinique Modern Matte Hits Counters
Summer’s shiny lip glosses, sparkly bronzers and glittery eye shadows are getting to be as old as John McCain. Straight from the runways, matte makeup is the new direction going into fall. So ditch the glitz and trade up to the Clinique Fall 2008 Modern Matte Collection. The on-trend line
It’s Bringing Sexy Back
Which girl wouldn’t do a Betsey Johnson-esque cartwheel for white teeth? According to the New York Times, more dentists are jumping into the cosmetic arena and offering products that even granny would be eager to try. Over the weekend, I went to Oshkosh, WI (don’t ask!) for an airshow because
