I had a late night last night – and a very early morning today. The result is my eyes are itching, dry, red, and irritated.
Granted, it’s not all the fault of my crazy schedule, there’s tons of factors involved. But still,“There’s no hiding unhealthy eyes,” says Dr. Elise Brisco.
Luckily, my eyes have hope of being beautiful again! Dr. Brisco offered some fabulous tips to keeping our eyes happy and healthy. (Even if the rest of us isn’t.
Uncomfortable, dry, irritated eyes occur when there are not enough tears, and can happen because of

Maintaining your skin is a lifelong commitment.
We know that, sure, but that doesn’t mean we always take the steps necessary to maintain it.
I spend a lot of time hanging with my friends – who also happen to be beauty writers – and shockingly enough, skin issues come up. We all know we should take care of our skin, but all of us have individual processes for going about it. No one is wrong, it’s just a very personal process.

But once you find your “road”, taking care of the skin is just like taking care of the body – it becomes …read more

So, my lips have been SUPER dry lately – like, ridiculously – and that’s not sexy.
I was seeking a quick fix, and I found one from my favorite brand – MAC’s new DSquared Tinted Lip Conditioner is just awesome.
Since it’s MAC, it has great shades and awesome packaging. That’s a given.
But the product is fab too, which too is pretty much a MAC given. I  just used a few strokes and my lips stayed moist and hydrated for hours – and the coverage is  just enough, not too heavy, and not too fleeting.
Give it a try – because dry lips …read more

Halloween is a few weeks away, and I’m already super excited.
Even though I’m not sure what I’m going to be…any thoughts?
Anyway, for many people, the scariest thing going on in their life is not Halloween or their lack of the appropriate pumpkin for their window frame, but WRINKLES.
And let’s face it, wrinkles can be scarier than any costume.
So, what to do? I consulted Christopher Drummond Beauty, and they recommended the following tips to have the least-scary facial skin of all:
1. Prep face by washing and applying a serum all over the face
2. Apply a concealer wherever needed in small amounts
3. …read more

We all want to shine, but not in the sense of being “shiny”.
Jane Ireland Brush-Me Matte is awesome – it’s a shine-reducing powder in a convenient, travel-ready brush.
What does that mean? Well, you won’t be ME. Standing in a foreign country. In the bathroom. About to leave for dinner. And realize that while you have your favorite compact…you forgot your cosmetic brush.
And so, if everything comes in a single package, I have a HOPE of getting my act together. In theory.
Beyond my own tendency to be feeble-minded, another reason I love this product: It’s made with rice! Rice starch works …read more

I first discovered Global Goddess a while back while loitering at Sephora. I was doing “market research” and trying on various eyeliners…until I found my far and away fave.
Much of the Global Goddess line is on sale today at TheFairest.com – one of my favorite sites for beauty private sale shopping,
And it’s on sale for…60% off! That means hot eye shadows are well under $10, and their entire Boho Exotic Eyes Kit is $16! I’m headed there right now!

My bestie works is currently working in the lingerie industry, and she will tell you that a proper foundation is intrinsic to everything from posture to looking your thinnest.
Well, I agree. But I think foundation doesn’t end there in importance. I think the right foundation on your face is equally paramount.
Right now, on my face is NARS Sheer Matte Foundation.
It has a sheer glow finish (hence the name), and has buildable coverage without being weighty. This helps it to do the job it’s meant to do: it enhances, not masks, your complexion.
The result? I’m feeling pretty luminous!
