At a recent neighborhood party, my friend Sarah passed me the new NARS blush she was sure I hadn’t tried. “A bit dark for me,” I replied. Secure with my own shade of Deep Throat by the same brand.

The idea of sharing makeup brushes slightly grossed me out. After all, I had read …

The new line is called Proactiv Plus and claims to be the fastest and most effective Proactiv ever. The steps are a little different than the …

I’m not convinced that these six shades ($8.50 each) mimic the inner workings of the human body (that sounds more like ‘hype’ to me), but the three colors I tried — Glow, a pale cream taupe; Smolder, a deep wine shimmer and Rapture, a creamy chocolate brown (pictured …

Summer is in full bloom. With temperatures rising, we indulge ourselves with day-outs, fun-filled activities, beach parties… the list goes on. As the warm sunny days arrive, we need to take care of our skin and hair to protect it from the heat and humidity. Most of us manage to keep our skin moisturized but often forget to moisturize our hair. We frequently face problems like dry, dull hair with split ends and frizz. All of these make it hard to comb, causing tangles and hair loss. …

Just in time for the London 2012 Summer Olympics, butter London introduces the commemorative Olympic Heavy Medal Trio ($36.00), which is a set of three metallic nail lacquers that come in an adorable Union Jack adorned box. 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 …

When we recommended our top picks for the hotter than hot neon polish trend, we didn’t realize that we could have potentially been encouraging you to break the law! 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 …

BREAKING NEWS: Are neon nail polishes illegal in America? Find out the latest news ..>>HERE!
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 …

We announced our First Nail Competition a few weeks ago and we received tons of great submissions.
We think this year is most definitely the year of the lash and the year of the nail. There have been so many terrific nail lacquers and innovations, from the crackle variety to the popular Sally Hansen nail strips that nails now have more beautiful choices than ever before.
Take Chanel for example. Did they simply have to tease us with that glittery Peridot nail lacquer for Fall 2011? It’s enigmatic, strong, powerful. We can’t …
