Last month, ELLE Cosmetics held a cosmetic launch in the Style Suite at the Shoreham Hotel. Truly a makeup lover’s dream event, I could not wait to be in attendance!

This primer promises to help you “put your best face forward” with a lightweight, oil-free and silky formula, which instantly preps skin for a flawless makeup application. ELLE Cosmetics Face Primer brightens complexions for an overall look that leaves …

Forget the translucent nude polish, ombre style or wild designs of summer… This fall, nail art is simple, bold and mysteriously dark. Models on the fall runways flaunted the smoky nail trend while September’s blockbuster magazines have the sultry look splashed across their beauty pages. Shades ranging from gunmetal to metallic set the tone for this season’s modern monochromatic story. Those with fairer skin should go for steely tones, while those with darker complexions will want to choose paler versions. No matter what color your skin tone may be, BeautyStat …

I am a very lucky girl. I get to do what I love everyday: testing and writing about beauty products. I have gotten spoiled working in cosmetics and getting free stuff. Well, life came calling, and I had to stop working for a few years, and all my perfume was gone. Then POOF I received two bottles of  the most popular perfumes to test out! Let me tell you, they are all fabulous!
Next up is Jennifer Lopez Glowing by JLo perfume. Can I tell you, from the minute I opened …

I’m always on the lookout for a cheap cosmetic thrill. And with Saint Germain Paris, I got just what I wanted! Sophisticated cosmetics with a great price! French designer Patrick Foucart had done research for years on this line. He yearned to create a cosmetic line with great packaging and quality but without the high price tag. “The lower price point beauty products I saw on the market lacked elegance and seemed juvenile. I also had doubts about the quality of some.”
The name of the line was named after Saint-Germain-des-Prés — …

Elegance. Sophistication. Chic. There are so many words to describe Vera Wang and her sense of style. These are just three that came to mind when I entered the Hotel Americano to take part in the launch of her new cosmetic line, SimplyVera for Kohl’s. I must say I felt a little intimidated when I first walked in. Everyone who works for Vera is the epitome of chic! However, as I went to the first station for skincare I was immediately struck by how friendly and kind everyone was. Seems …

‘From the runway to your vanity’ was the tagline of last night’s ELLE event. Launching their first ever cosmetic collection, I was in awe of all of the various color palettes. Available EXCLUSIVELY at Kohl’s and Kohls.com nationwide this April 2012, the ELLE cosmetics collection includes:
Eyes:
Eyeliner: A smooth, creamy formula that glides on the lids with great pigment and available in eight matte and metallic shades. It’s up to you how you want to wear them: either for a more quiet, demure look or a smoky effect by applying a more dramatic …

The Equinol Dark Spot Concentrate (priced at $39.50) is a gentle formula (containing ingredients like bark, grapefruit, and rice bran extracts) that can be used safely in combination with other skincare products.
The product – containing SR12 Complex, Vitamin C and glucosamine – claims to diminish spots due to sun exposure, even out an irregular skin tone and prevent new discolorations from forming.
Okay, I was skeptical when I first tried this product and frankly did not expect it to work. But, I faithfully applied it morning and night (under both my …

Having oily skin means not only battling the constant sheen and tendency to break out, it also means dealing with enlarged pores. All of these issues perpetually conspire against smooth skin. Thankfully, beauty companies began to introduce pore refining treatments.

The latest one to take a shot at overcoming the look of enlarged pores is GoodSkin Labs’ Z-Pore Instant Pore Refiner. This product promises to instantly refine the look of pores, control oil and reduce shine to leave skin flawless.  It works by combining special silicone polymers and optical diffusers to …

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we here at BeautyStat want to recognize those companies that support the cause with special products designed to “put us in the pink” ….

One of the companies supporting “the Girls” is Estee Lauder. By October 2010, the Estee Lauder Companies and retail families will have contributed or raised $45 million since 1993 for BCRF. The Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon Collection helps raise awareness that early detection saves lives. Today the Pink Ribbon is the ubiquitous, worldwide symbol of breast health and breast …
