Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

You know how a high school yearbook inadvertently encapsulates the best and the worst of your hair decisions? The messed-up perm you wore to junior prom, your impeccable blowout for graduation. Well, we here at BeautyStat.com feel that the end of a year, like the end of high school, is a great occasion to look back on the best and the worst of the hair products that reigned in 2010.

The good, the bad and the ugly — we give you all the celebrity faces and trends that made 2010 what it is. The Year in Review Celeb edition, is HERE. 2010 has been a year of dye jobs, painted faces, glorious award dresses and so many print-worthy (and not so print worthy) moments. It is hard to keep up with the ever-changing looks of celebrities so let’s take a trip down memory lane.

Jessica Biel has been in a relationship with Justin Timberlake for almost four years, …

At midnight on Black Friday, just like in Cinderella, something miraculous happens in many cities and towns over the United States. Homo Sapiens who were previously completely unmotivated to even drive to the corner store to purchase a toothbrush now eagerly put their warm winter woolies and prepare to stand in line (either for them or their girlfriends); moms eagerly clip coupons hoping to save on Le Creuset sets; and beauty junkies hope to snag something really magical and larger than a lipstick.
Today has been America’s biggest shopping day since …

The American Music Awards on Sunday, November 21st, housed some of the industry’s biggest names, from Rihanna to lil’ ol’ Justin Bieber. But we’re not here to talk music, we’re here to tell you how to get some of the best and brightest looks in beauty, and what we saw were some of the trends.
Rihanna: Ruling the Roost with Curly Red Hair

As soon as we saw her in the Elie Saab dress (hello Halle Berry gown from the Oscars 2002?), we knew the redhead had won our vote for …

Everyone loves an awards show, right? Especially one that’s not on U.S. territory, because well…they tend to be a little more risque. We’re not catching the full force of the risque juggernaut factor here (most of the stars just played it safe), but you be the judge.
Katy Perry

Looks like she WORE her ticket to the show (Russell Brand likely has the other ripped half). The girl who won the best music video for California Girls rocks a chic ponytail and glossy lips. We love her award-worthy brows!
Taylor Momsen

Momsen tends to …

The 20th anniversary of Glamour Magazine’s “Women of the Year” awards are on the evening of November 8th, and in honor of this extremely special occasion, L’Oreal Paris has create a special, limited-edition nail lacquer.

The polish retails for $6.50 and $3 from every bottle sold will go towards the philanthropic work of the winner (this year, the honoree is Dr. Abdi, a 63-year-old OB-GYN, and her two doctor daughters who provide food and care on her family’s land outside Mogadishu to approximately 90,000 Somalis displaced …

Each year, the Makeup Show in New York brings together the best and brightest of makeup artists and makeup products under one terrific roof. This year, the quality of the participants was beyond stellar, with brands that included Mac Pro, Temptu, Alison Raffaele Cosmetics, Mehron, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and Makeup Forever.
As we expected, Makeup Forever’s new waterproof Aqua Creams stole the show. These are versatile WATERPROOF colors that are so multipurpose that they’ll transform your entire face single handedly. We’re talking color for the eyes, lips and cheeks!

Clarins doing makeup for the Summer? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read about it. The name, Instant Sunlight, is particularly clever and makes me think of lazy, languid beach-filled days on Fire Island and the Hamptons.
The mochas and browns in the Clarins Instant Sunlight Makeup Eyeshadow Palette have summer spice written all over them:

The collection also has a Smoothing Luminating Compact in Natural and Bronze:

There are three Click & Gloss Lip Glazes in Vanilla, Coral & Cinnamon:

Casting pearls before swine may be a past time that Guerlain enjoys doing on a frequent basis, but I must confess that the Summer 2010 collection of the Guerlain Meteorites Perles is luxurious, eye-catching and delicate at the same time.

The Guerlain Meterorites Perles Makeup collection houses the colorful makeup pearls in a rose-motif silver box. They come in three shades:

1. Rose Tint
2. Beige Tint
3. Gold Tint

It looks like the shimmer and glimmer trend is extending well into the warmer months of the year — on your nails, that is. Zoya Nail Polish’s new Flash and Sparkle Collection for Summer 2010 is all about creamy summer colors as well as radiance the size of Mariah Carey’s 2008 17 carat $2.5 million engagement ring which seemed larger to me than the Pink Panther.

The shades sound great and look glinty:
Zoya Flash Collection (Six Cream Shades)
I’m digging the shades Dana and Jancyn.
