Being as pale as I am, tanning can be a trying pastime. Between choosing the wrong color and the usual awful self-tanner smell, I rather get my teeth pulled (I might be embellishing on that comparison). But Jergens, however, has changed the rules of the self-tanning game.
Jergens Natural Glow +Protect Daily Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 20 ($8.69) gives you exactly that: a natural glow. My skintone doesn’t tan easily, and most self-tanners have to be layered for me to get a good shade. Natural Glow in Medium to Tan gave me …

We each got to ask Eva a question about her beauty routine. Below are her responses:
Skincare:  Eva strongly believes that good skincare is the foundation of your beauty regimen. …

Pure Color Cheek Rush ($28.00) is a blush described as a “rush of cellophane-sheer gel color.” I was really surprised when I pumped-out the product — it was so intense and bright, I couldn’t imagine it blending out to become sheer… but it did!

This unique formula is a sheer, buildable, water-light gel. It is weightless and super-easy to blend and wears for hours.
There are four see-through shades to choose from: Hot Fuse (sheer red; swatched), Pink Patent (sheer pink), X-Pose Rose (more purple than pink) and Techno Jam (deep, but …

In recent beauty news, it appears that some of your personal care products could be affecting your health. But, after reviewing the UFC-Que Choisir’s (the Western European nonprofit consumer association) article online, I believe their concerns are valid and their analysis of 66 products is accurate.
The “endocrine disrupters” (which affect hormone production) found in the products were preservatives, anti-bacterial agents, sunscreens and emollients. Levels of these disrupters were also determined.
Que Choisir wrote that they compared the level of propylparaben in Nivea Water Lily & Oil Shower Gel (0.00268%) to the Scientific Committee on …

Before The Great Gatsby hits theater on May 10th, get Daisy Buchanan‘s makeup (played by lead actress Carrie Mulligan, sided by the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio) from this latest novel-to-the-big-screen romantic drama.
