“Perfect timing,” is what I said to myself as I opened my British imported STEAMCREAM a few days back. Of course, like most, I have me some London 2012 Olympic fever, so I was really excited to try one of Britain’s very popular facial and body creams. What exactly is STEAMCREAM?

STEAMCREAM contains 100% natural and …

I was elated to sample the Tea with the Queen Duo (on the pink side of tan, very neutral but never boring), La Moss Duo (vampy and full of red wine, just like it’s inspiration) and the Toff Duo (a darker, dustier brownish variation of a rose pink). I …

I don’t normally wear polish — as many of you know, I am a nail polish strip lover — yet, these butter London nail lacquers are simply flawless when applied! They were all easy-to-apply due to their small and steady application brush, and I also noticed that the second coat really made the color pop. I now see why butter London is in Sephora shops, and is one of the U.K.’s leading nail polish suppliers. They are simply gorgeous!
Sequins, velvet, satin and tweed! This season the runways were abundant with …

I used two coats of each, adding my own base and top coats. Here’s what I found:

The Full Monty is a full-on molten gold. It’s described as, “always classy, never brassy” and indeed this was true. If gold can be said to be subtle, this is it. I liked the coverage and color …

But recent developments have uncovered that crafting neon nail polish in the United States is indeed banned — though it might not be why you’d expect.
Last week, CND co-founder and creative director Jan Arnold dropped a bomb on the beauty world when she told MORE magazine, “Neon nail polish is actually illegal to produce in the …

Neon hues have filtered virtually every part of fashion: from acid-colored denim to electric jewelry, day-glo stilettos to fluorescent belts. But, it’s hard to pull off such shocking shades with hair and makeup (unless, of course, you have nerves of steel — lime green eyeliner and hot pink highlights, anyone?). That’s why neon …
