While you are waiting to get your mascara from Lucky Magazine, and pressing F5 over and over again, you might want to check out Glamour TV, which launched yesterday.  I have been trying to get to watch Beauty Wars all morning, but keep getting interrupted/having technical difficulties (my problem, not theirs).  What I have seen is super slick and super cool, so I hope you will go check it out.  Here is a bit about the shows on Glamour TV: I WANT MY GLAMOUR TV! Debi Mazur helps makeover real women, Molly Shannon, Jennie Garth, Solange Knowles and Nikki Taylor dish on motherhood, and Giuliana Rancic and Molly Sims count down the seasons hottest trends for Glamour TV Glamour mag’s new television destination site.  The three... [Read more]

Starting tomorrow, Lucky Magazine will be giving away 1000 (yes that is ONE THOUSAND) of L’Oreal Paris’ new Bare Natural mascara!  Follow this link to get that mascara – again, starting tomorrow! Now, what do I know about Bare Naturale mascara?  I know that my mother LOVES it.  I have given her so many expensive mascara’s to try over the last few years – she hates them all.  Her eyelashes are really fine and they clump like you wouldn’t believe.  DiorShow?  Nope.  Faux Cils?  Huh uh.  Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, Jane Iredale – nope, nope, nope.  She spotted the Bare Naturale ad a few weeks ago and went on a mission to find it – and it is her holy grail mascara, I do believe. ... [Read more]

I suppose you have heard people tout the benefits of emu oil in recent years?  I have.  And I have tried a few different concoctions using emu oil – but mostly in hand and body lotions. I have been using Dremu’s Airbrush Refining Eye Cream for about 2 months now, and it has become indispensable to me.  This was a product that The Oprah recommended on her show a little while back, and I am sure it has seen a huge surge of business since then.  I’m always a little skeptical of Oprah, but I gave it a try. I have used some expensive eye creams in my time.  Probably the priciest one was somewhere in the neighborhood of $500.  Hated it.  I’ve used Chanel’s eye cream, which is slightly more reasonable coming... [Read more]

So, all my beauty buds are at Fashion Week, and I am not.  I started a new full time job today, and ending my last one and starting this one just really meshed badly with the fashion season this time!  But, all  is not lost.  We have Twitter.  Twitter totally saves the day at Fashion Week, I can read all about my friends adventures, real time, almost like I was there, minus the drenching rains.   Hope you gals brought your umbrellas! Of course I follow most of my beauty buddies on Twitter already, so can watch them on my Twitterfox or Tweet Deck – but they are all mixed in with my geek buddies, which is ok, but sometimes the tweets rush by so fast it is hard to keep up.  Enter Inside The Tents.  This... [Read more]

While the rest of the fashion and beauty world are ahead of us by 6 months, and have already made it through the cold, hard winter, we real people are ending the summer, and starting to think about the cooler weather of the fall.  What are we going to wear? This seems like a good time to remind you of the colors for fall, as set every season by the folks at Pantone. The colors are, from the top left, then the bottom left: Blue Iris, Royal Lilac, Shady Glade, Caribbean Sea, Aurora Red, Shitake, Withered Rose, Twilight Blue, Burnt Orange and Ochre. If you want to read more about the colors, as well as around 30 designers color stories for the season, you can access the full report in a PDF file at Pantone.  Pantone has just released... [Read more]
