We were thrilled to be invited to join a Google hangout with L’Oréal Paris Spokesperson Eva Longoria today.  Eva is currently at the Cannes Film Festival in France but she took time out of her busy schedule to have a live chat with a few beauty journalists from all over the world.

Have you heard? BeautyStat.com’ s Ron Robinson was quoted yet again (last mentioned here in Makeup Expiration Dates) in The New York Times this week for their story entitled ‘Promises From The Powder Room.’

Although Spring and Summer bring warmer temperatures, we still need to hydrate our skin. But you don’t have to use rich, heavy body creams and butters to deeply moisturize your skin. Last year, we were impressed with the lightweight Vaseline Total Moisture Body Lotion. But this year, the Dial 7-Day Moisturizing might be the best new body moisturizer.

The Brand Says: The Dial 7-Day Moisturizing Lotion penetrates deeply to keep your skin soft and hydrated for up to seven days! Each day, your skin loses vital moisture and nutrients. Replenish your skin …

Beauty consumers beware. Flat irons and curling irons can damage hair and cause it to break and fall out if not used carefully. Nothing exemplifies this more than the viral YouTube video of the girl who was demonstrating a new hairstyle when suddenly her hair literally burned off.

BeautyStat’s cosmetic chemist and founder, Ron Robinson, notes that overuse of heat styling tools especially curling irons can cause a lot of damage to the hair. The heat can permanently break the hair bonds which can cause it to literally burn and break …

Peace, love & Jao is my new saying, as I have been obsessed with their product line ever since a dear friend, Karim Orange, introduced me to the brand. I have been using their Hand Refresher ($7.00, $11.00 and $16.00, depending on size) all winter along with their Goe Oil ($40.00), and not only is it a smell I embrace, but the products are paraben-, sulphate-, phthalate-, mineral oil-, silicone- and fragrance-free (of synthetic fragrances that is)!
Please note that there is a scent to the hand sanitizer, as it blends sage, geranium, …
