  • Polls: To Bob or not To Bob?
    Half of Hollywood has gone Anna Wintour on us, chopping off their lovely locks for the latest “it” do. Now that Mrs. Cruise is rockin’ the look, the buzz is starting to rival Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Rachel’ coiffe circa mid-90’s! You have to admit that you’ve been slowly working up the nerve to “Posh it out” too like the rest...

  • Review: Prescriptives False Eyelashes Plush Mascara
    With Bambi-like eyes being all the rage, we’ve been going to great lengths (literally) to extend, thicken, and curl our lashes. Eyelash extensions, fake glue-ons, and even eyelash perms have become popular as of late. If you’re like me, you love fake lashes when you’re looking to go glam on a special occasion, but for everyday, you probably like something...

  • Interviews: Poppy King a.k.a Lipstick Queen
    As teenagers most girls are just investing in their first tubes of lipstick. Not Poppy King! At just 18, she took the make-up world by storm, and boldly created her first line of lipsticks, appropriately named “Poppy.” After gaining great success with her line and inspiring women to paint their pouts with dramatic Hollywood flair, Poppy moved away from her home...

  • Beauty: M.A.C Matte2
    Remember the eye gel trend of a few years ago, when silky powders were replaced by pots and tubes of slick and shiny eye paint? Not only was it hard to apply, it was a hard look to pull off. To top it off, I couldn’t escape the thought that I may as well have applied my lip gloss to my eyelids for the same gummy, gunky effect. Fortunately, this trend is over. So...

  • Beauty: Skin MD Natural
    I have real issues with facial creams, too greasy and I break out in spots, too light and my skin feels uncomfortable and dry. Elemis Absolute Night Cream, is the only moisturizer my skin has welcomed with open arms, but being that its a tad pricey, I prefer to buy a bottle when my skin is in bad shape and instead use Boots Cleansing lotion, day to day. It does the job...

  • Beauty: Origins goes Organic
    We’ve all noticed the number of organic bath and body products that have recently flooded the market, but major beauty brands have been slow to catch on. That is, until Origins announced the debut of their organic line. Straying away from unpronounceable (and unidentifiable!) ingredients, items from the lip balm to the silkening body spritz include familiar names...
