I have, in the *ahem* past, been accused of being eyebrow obsessed. Maybe I am – just a tad. I just hate overdone eyebrows, I really do. I think they are a very important feature, and when I see them too BIG and too LONG, and even too skinny and, God forbid, too far apart – especially on models – it just drives me ape-y. So, I always love articles and features about eyebrows and what do you know, the NY Sun did a great little article on eyebrows today, The Pampered Brow, and as a …read more

In the continuing saga that is Britney, she shaved her head last night and got at least one tattoo (of red lips, on her wrist). What is up with her?

Whatcha think? Beautiful, or not beautiful? Maybe this is the new look for spring…

Oh Gwyneth, honey, whoever did this to you, please stay far, far away from them in the future. Maybe it was little Apple, in which case, you go Mom! Kudos for showing off your baby’s work!

OMG I don’t even know what to say here, with the possible exception of – Boy, I hope her husband knew what he was getting himself into. There is a little foul language, so this is probably categorized under the “not safe for work” heading. Unless you have headphones. LOL Poor girl.

The American Academy of Dermatologists began a campaign last week at their annual Skin Academy to educate teenagers about the dangers of tanning beds. As we go into wintertime in the US, you might think that now isn’t the right time to talk about tanning beds and skin cancer, but from my past experience, winter was my favorite time to tan. Lots and lots of people go maintain their summer warmth in a tanning bed, and I hope you will help spread the word, especially to our teenagers, who might not yet know better, that tanning beds are …read more

Did you run out and buy that cool pink flat iron the other day? If you did, or if you are a flat iron user at all (or want to be), this is a great video from Clairol’s Herbal Essences on how to straighten your hair. Even if you don’t flat iron it, the use of the hair dryer, as shown in the video, will give you a pretty darned straight look.

That gal is terminally cute, eh? LOL
That is a good video – my only comment is that she made a pretty quick mention of the importance of …read more

One of the best things you can do to improve your makeup skills are to buy, and use, great brushes to apply your makeup. Are you still using the ratty little sponge applicator that came with your favorite eyeshadow? How about that sprawled out and tangled up blush brush? Yuck. Invest in some good natural hair brushes, either from a cosmetics manufacturer or from the art store, you will not regret it. Quality brushes will allow you to put your makeup exactly where you want it and blend it flawlessly. Be sure and take good care of them by giving …read more

Have you ever been in fear of making the worst dressed list, or being called out because your false eyelash was sitting on your cheek? “Lucky” Kristin Boehm was called out last year in Glamour as a “Don’t,” complete with the black bar of humility, and she has written about her experience in the New York Post – it is a cute read, and reminds us that life goes on, even if not everyone approves of what you are wearing.

This interesting article from Pravda last week profiles 5 mistakes that beautiful girls make:

You smooth on foundation to even out your complexion, but are left with a too-dark or too-light kabuki-mask effect.
You wear the same haircut for years at a time. The last time you updated was in the early ’90s.
You skip moisturizer. You figure your skin tends to be oily, so why slap on more oil?
Concealer? You say no thanks. The circles under your eyes aren’t that dark, are they?
You choose a lip color with no life. You look like your lips are dead or bruised.

I can admit that …read more

I have just found Sweet Buzz, and this story probably rings true for quite a few people. Read it and laugh your hind end off. And do tell if this has happened to you!
What about me screams “gullible,” I wonder? I was walking around the grocery store a couple of weeks ago, looking at the canned food, when a smartly dressed woman walked up to me and said, “Hi, can I ask you a favor?” I asked her what I could help her with. Before she answered, she stuck out her hand and introduced herself; this …read more
