guest post: beauty blogging junkie's amber sees the light with orlane

07/07/2009 at 05:11PM

Amber Katz is a girl after my own heart. Not only is she a major fan of Lost and Mad Men, but she effortlessly manages to work in references to these and other pop cultural phenomena (along with, of course, luxe beauty products) into her amazing beau...

face of the day: christian dior couture fall 2009

07/07/2009 at 07:02AM

Yes, it's that time of year again, friends. Time for the couture collections, when designers, and in turn, makeup artists, pull out all the stops and bring the drama, unleashing their painted and primped models onto the runway to strut like proud pea...

07/06/2009 at 06:47AM

Marion Cotillard punked-up her look at the recent Public Enemies premiere in London. While she went subtle with her makeup, the ever-stylish French actress sported an amped-up pompadour with slicked-back sides that was straight out of the '80s. Chann...

Bond No. 9, purveyor of scents inspired by all things NYC, for its new fall fragrance launch in the Andy Warhol series, Success is a Job in New York. Has a nice ring to it, no? For me, it brings to mind the scheming ways of the cutthroat advertising ...

hair do: ojon restorative hair treatment spray

07/03/2009 at 10:00AM

Hairspray has often been associated with a plethora of hair "dont's"; just witness the hair crimes committed in the '80s, where the credo seemed to be "the higher the hair, the closer to God." Yes, I'm talking to you, Pia Zadora (as an aside, check o...

dita von teese's hair-spiration

07/02/2009 at 10:54AM

In the early '90s, I was a big Twin Peaks/David Lynch fan. The music, quirky characters and black humor of this cult show were like nothing else on TV, or anywhere else for that matter. And one of my favorite characters was Audrey Horne (played by Sh...

trendshock: matte nail polish

07/02/2009 at 07:35AM

Remember painting your nails with White-Out in grade school? Obviously, it was done more out of boredom during geometry class than anything else, but I have to admit that I kind of liked the flat, matte look it gave to my nails. If, like me, you've d...

sweet dreams: body shop deep sleep dreamy pillow and body mist

07/01/2009 at 06:59AM

Are you getting your beauty sleep? It's no joke: sleep is one of the best tools we have for looking great. But if you're like many, getting adequate ZZZs often eludes us. And without that coveted eight hours, your skin can't recharge itself overnight...

luxe for less: olay complete touch of sun daily UV moisturizer

06/29/2009 at 12:19PM

I've tried a ton of skincare products in my day, at a myriad of different pricepoints; some cheap and cheerful, and some, worth more than a week's worth of groceries. But I'll let you in on a little beauty secret: I always come back to Olay. Why? Bec...

styleshock: alicia keys at BET awards

06/29/2009 at 06:48AM

Alicia Keys absolutely glowed at the BET Awards last night, where she, along with Wyclef Jean, picked up the Humanitarian Award. This girl is admittedly a natural beauty, but her charitable efforts and good energy (which you could feel just radiating...
