Do your locks need a lift? Droopy strands and ringlets are the enemy of Garnier Fructis Body Boost Root Booster Extreme, a spray-on product that enhances volume and brings life to lackluster hair. We used it immediately after showering but before blow-drying, and really enjoyed the light texture that didn’t make our hair feel weighed-down and greasy. We thought we did see a lift in our roots after applying the product and then blow-drying. Also, the scent is fresh but not too perfume-y, so you don’t smell as if you’ve …

Blush often seems to be a product that women under the age of 40 avoid like the plague. Many women associate it with the heavily-applied magenta cheeks sported by your Grandma Ethel. As a result, we often bypass the appeal of a rosy glow for the orange of bronzer and tanning beds.

Ladies, nobody’s skin is naturally orange, so please don’t emulate this look. Instead, go for that beautiful flush that takes over your face after doing handstands, or preferably, making out with a cute guy. With Cover Girl and Olay’s …

Organic skincare appeals to the average American consumer as much as Sesame Street did to the younger set in the 80s: I have yet to meet anyone who’s not going “green” in some way, shape or form.
Sabon’s new line is based on medicinal Swiss Alp plants. They are completely preservative free and bear the ECOCERT label (more then 70% of the ingredients in each product have to be organic in order to merit this label).
Apparently these products have been “flying off the shelves” in stores.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a media event with Supersmile’s creator, Dr. Irwin Smigel, the father of aesthetic denistry. It was an education in everything from tooth staining to non surgical tooth lifts. We saw pictures of an opera singer whose jaw and teeth profile changed so much that she looked twenty years younger.
Dr. Irwin Smigel is the founder and current president of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics, and inventor of the Supersmile Whitening System. The product list is varied and impressive, but I wondered if …

Ladies on the go don’t need the hassle of fifty individual makeup compacts clinking around in their handbags. However, pre-packaged makeup palettes are often filled with sub-par products in an un-attractive rainbow of colors. A girl really doesn’t need a large variety of purple lipsticks, right?

So when we got a hold of the e.l.f. Studio Mini Makeup Collection, our makeup-elitism was already in place. Strangely enough, we were pleasantly surprised to find the compact incredibly useful. About the size of a small wallet, the compact opens up to a large …

I have a major crush on What Not To Wear. It’s a simply brilliant show –it’s as simple as singing church hymns but it WORKS. I only envy those who get selected to be part of WNTW because they get some valuable schmoozing time with my crushes: Stacy & Clinton.
Now there’s someone else sneaking into the scene — also whom is deliciously crush-worthy. Ted Gibson will be replacing Nick Arrojo in the hairstyling department in the shows commencing July 24th.

I attended the celebration party last night at Ted’s salon on …

When we’re looking to find healthy alternatives to American foods and lifestyles, we often look east for inspiration. In this case, we’re going way east, as in Japan. If you’ve ever set foot in the Land of the Rising Sun, you know the women care for their skin meticulously. Koh Gen Do cosmetics are produced with the mission to create healthy cosmetics that won’t damage highly sensitive skin. Instead of covering up the problems you have, Koh Gen Do products bring out the beauty that’s waiting to show itself.
