I have been converted to the powerful and life-changing ways of argan oil. Finally, I have experienced my own argan-epiphany! I never tried argan oil-infused beauty products before, but, this summer, Josie Maran introduces two new products for summer: Argan Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipstick ($22.00) and Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées ($22.00). And I was more than ready to discover argan oil!

I have to talk about these gelées… NOW! A stain meets cream blush, this blendable gelée is made with 50% coconut water for long-lasting, 14-hour hydration! Vitamin E and argan …

Naming the line after her mother, Carol, Lisa launched a humble business, which turned into an empire as her collection spread via word of mouth like wildfire.

Are you ready for the closest shave ever? I love how quickly shaving can be, but I usually suffer from irritated, red skin and ingrown hairs afterwards. Alas, I must admit, I sometimes forgo the shaving cream and just use soap (I know, tsk-tsk). Luckily, the wonderful people at Bikini Soft sent me over some samples of their Smooth Shave Oil and Razor Saver Oil (both $14.99).
I used to use olive oil and/or baby oil on my legs before I shaved — this would provide a protective barrier against any …

A super-fast, fresh-scented facial hair removal cream means no more waxing for me! Yippee! I never liked my peach fuzz, and many years ago went for a waxing that I have been keeping up with ever since. Even with sensitive skin like mine, I’d rather be red for a short while than all fuzzy!

She plays the main character, Jordan Turner, a 911 operator, so this particular makeup is more of a daytime look suitable to wear to work or just on a Saturday afternoon spent shopping.
Even though her makeup appears to be quite simple, it enhances her intense and powerful expression throughout the film. Here are all of the key steps to …

FatGirlSlim Lean Machine ($145.00) is the first spa-powered body contouring system in the “FatGirl” family. This new machine offers a super-effective, vacuum-assisted massage action to enhance the penetration of the FatGirlSlim Firming Cream ($36.00; my favorite Bliss body cream being their Fat Girl Six Pack tummy-toning gel). When used in unison, the body contouring system is a spa-approved way to achieve a smoother, slimmer looking silhouette.
The 4-in-1 vacuum massage works as follows:
1. Lifting function stimulates skin
2. Adjustable settings allow for a deeper penetrating massage that encourages lymphatic draining and detoxification
3. …

These new lipglosses come in three unique …

It’s February already, and Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. Instead of doing the traditional bold statement of a classic red or pink lip and smoky/dramatic eye, try a different approach and go back to the basics.

Focusing on the makeup that Jessica Alba has maintained throughout the years — keeping it warm, glowing and luminous — we are going to create a soft, flawless, pure makeup look that can be appropriate for any occasion. This look is not about transformations, it’s more about enhancing the features you already have and …
