I am not a morning person. Nor am I a person who feels any pep, vim, or vigor until well after I’ve had my first cup of coffee and an eye-opening shower. And even then, I’m still pretty low on the energy scale until I start to put on my (continued…)

Last year, we suggested treating dad to an old-fashioned shave for Father’s Day. This year, we’re taking it a step further, offering up some marvelous, manly spa treatments for those fathers who aren’t afraid to get “Mansome” (Jason Bateman and Will Arnett were brave enough, after all). And really, what (continued…)
While I still highly recommend Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion, as well as Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray, I’m currently obsessed with this lid primer, in Canvas, from Jane Iredale. Here’s why: As a primer meant to hold eye shadow pigment in place, I have to admit, it’s nothing special. It does (continued…)
Wow. Never did I think I’d ever find a beauty product that my father (who was a novelist and playwright) would actually appreciate. But yet, here it is: A line of Paddywax candles that honor a host of literary greats. Not only are these candles deliciously fragrant, but each scented (continued…)
I’m a very lucky, happy person, and I count my blessings (or at least try to) every day. Plus, my job is awesome and it allows me to try a ton of amazing beauty products, which is a truly terrific perk. That said, a beauty-obsessed girl can still have her (continued…)
Crack is wack. We know this. But what if, instead of a being one of the most addictive, life-sucking street drugs in the world, it was a wonderfully reparative, mane-saving hair product? Still addictive, but rather than hurting your body (or in this case, your hair) it helped it—strengthening (continued…)
Dear Beauty Bitch: I have oily, blemished skin that’s quite prone to clogging. Because of the humid environment in New York City (especially during the summer), I avoid a full face of make up whenever I can. I usually get by with spot concealer, pressed powder blush, and translucent powder (continued…)

It feels like we’ve been waiting an eternity for Baz Luhrmann’s sleek and stylized adaptation of the classic jazz-age tale to hit the screen. And we have! When the film was pushed from a December 2012 to a May 2013 release date, we were given five more months to obsess (continued…)
While my drinking days are over—after a long-time-coming, life-changing and life-saving decision I made over a year ago (I’ll have 17 months on May 3rd!)—that doesn’t mean I have to shy away from cocktail-inspired beauty products. As long as I’m not chugging perfume, I figure I’m pretty safe when it (continued…)
’ve never been a mousse girl. My naturally curly hair has plenty of volume, and when I blow it out straight, I use so much de-frizzifying product that mousse just seems like an excessive shot to add to my already potent hair-care cocktail. But that was before I visited Drybar, (continued…)
Coachella kicked off this past weekend, putting the summer music festival season in official full swing. Whether you’re joining this celeb-filled Cali-based jam (there’s more to come this weekend), attending the equally buzz-worthy Bonnaroo in June, or hitting any number of the amazing outdoor concerts scheduled this summer, you don’t (continued…)
We all know that honey is a sweet treat for our taste buds, but it also happens to be a beneficial ingredient for skin and hair. It contains nutrient-rich amino acids, skin-soothing ceramides, vitamins C and B, as well as antioxidants that help protect against damaging UV rays. Honey also has antibacterial properties that help heal and soothe minor cuts and scrapes.
’ve been an avid fan of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics since they opened their first flagship in NYC in 2011. The one-time secret weapon for makeup artists has now gone mainstream, thanks in large part to Sephora, who started selling a limited array of the brand’s lip tars, loose pigments, and nail (continued…)
Dear Beauty Bitch: Like a million other people, I have dark circles under my eyes. I have tried many products, but still “bags ahoy.” Don’t get me started on concealers. Everyone makes them and they do very little—at least for me! Can you help? -Jane R., NYC Dear Jane: (continued…)
