OK, I promise: This shall be my final pre-Halloween beauty post.
(Mostly because Halloween starts in about a half hour.)
First of all, I’m loving the new Sephora Halloween Kit -it’s only $19, and gives all sorts of fabulously Halloween-appropriate looks, all in one box.
The kit has anything you may need to create the look of a doll, fairy, and angel, including: False Eyelashes, Round a Pot in Beach Ball, Glitter Spray in Silver, Slim Eyeliner in Black, Slim Eyeliner in White, and Luminous Glow.
Why is this great? Well, if you are still looking for tips right now, you probably still have …read more

I spend my whole life growing out my hair, I think. I love to wear it short and I love it long, so I am always transitioning to one style or another. So, I am growing out now, from this, which was my spring ‘do, to – well, I don’t quite know yet. I have been lusting lately over Gene Simmon’s wife, Shannon Tweed’s, hair – it really is gorgeous – see (and, ahem, Gene isn’t looking so bad after all that surgery either, eh?)?  I always cut it off before it makes it that long though.  …read more

These are two articles from my friend Doug Marshall, who, although a man, is a makeup loving product junkie “of the most severe form.” His words, not mine.
Doug has two articles out on HarpersMarket this month, that I found to be wonderful, and I think you will too. The first is his confession:
It was clear I had more than enough of everything: serums, exfoliating cleansers, masks, scrubs, eye creams, moisturizers, hair masks, color enhancing conditioners (for shades of hair I don’t even have), self tanners and makeup. Yes, makeup; two dop kits filled with makeup – …read more

Just like the skin care gadgets, I am always on the hunt for great microdermabrasion-type of products. I have a feeling if I actually went and got a microdermabrasion treatment at the dermatologist, I would be in for a much different treatment, but so far I am good, and the home products suit me fine. What makes a good microdermabrasion cream, to me, are the texture and the density of the grains that abrade your face – I like them very fine and very plentiful. If there are too few and they are too big, I categorize it as more …read more

Have you tried Yes To Carrots yet? I have been using the day cream and the body scrub, and while I like both of those, very much, and will talk about them more later on – the stand out product for me is the C is for Clean Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser. I RARELY have a cleanser that I really fall in love with. Most of them are, well, just cleansers – they act the same, they feel the same. This cleanser is perfect. Really. The cleanser is creamy, and it has a very …read more

If you have read eBeautyDaily for very long, you know that I am a huge fan of beauty gadgets – especially those skin care gadgets. I love my Clairsonic skin care brush to the point that I don’t ever want to be without it, but admittedly, its price keeps it out of the realm of lots of folks. So enter the Dove SkinVitalizer. This is an affordable option for a skin care “brush” that isn’t quite a brush, and is so much more. On a velcro type surface you adhere a Cleansing Pillow, which is a …read more

I had a nice chat today with Fiona Costello, proprietress of the UK’s BeautySwapShop, a fairly new place where you can meet new friends, chit chat about your favorite beauty products and maybe even swap around a few goodies. In the short time they have been online they have been fortunate enough to get a good start with active members, so stop by and say hello if you are in the UK, and if not, keep your eyes open, I hear she is thinking about starting a U.S. based forum as well. Have you done a swap …read more

I guess I should get to this before the end of the month, eh? I have just finished a wonderful round of skin care from Ahava – and I highly recommend it (along with the Ahava Spa products – these are all truly exceptional skin and body care products).

Ahava Purifying Gel for oily skin – Love this – lathers, but not too much – it is perfect for use with my Clairsonic brush
Still using the Neutrogena Clear Pore Astringent – still like it, but ready for it to be empty – it lasts forever it seems! Any suggestions for something …read more

Valentine’s Day is all about beauty and romance – this isn’t the time to stock up on fancy new appliances, or even techy gadgets (although the way to my heart is, no doubt, techy gadgets). This is a great time to drop hints for things to splurge on to make you look and feel more beautiful, and things that will bring you and your honey closer together. So, I bring you a list of some great Valentine’s ideas:
Kama Sutra is known the world over as the masters of the romantic gifts. This year they have a new Body Souffle that …read more
