I'm an SPF junkie and have been known to be running around to everyone at an outdoor affair asking "are you wearing sunscreen!?" so I am always excited to learn about new sun protection options. So the new skin effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover Sun Effects are right up my alley.
I'm particularly enamored with spray-on sunscreens, so I tried out the Skin Effects Sun Effects Spf 45 Active Sunscreen Continuous Spray, $12.99, first. To find out how it worked - keep reading!
If you're looking for a customized makeup look using the products and colors that are perfect for you, Three Custom Color Specialists is the brand to turn to.
Apparently Matthew Williamson agrees, since cofounders Trae Bodge and Chad Hayduk created the makeup look for the designer's pre-spring 2009 collection.
You know the scene in the makeover montage where a hairbrush breaks off with the brush part still stuck in the ugly-before-victim's hair? Well, that just happened to me.
I was so proud of my home blow-out skills, twirling my round brush and blow drying when crack, my brush broke. Luckily for me, a sampling of FHI Heat's new professional brush series arrive the next day! Talk about timing.
I was a big fan of the FHI Heat Nano Weight hairdryer, so I had high hopes for the brushes. Did they live up to my expectations? Keep reading.
This summer La Mer finally combined the product it's famous for - moisturizer - with a subtle tint to create its first tinted moisturizer, SPF 18 Fluid Tint, $65.
I think every major moisturizer brand should create a tinted version, because if they don't they leave their customers to rely on other brands for a tinted moisturizer. Brands that they may not like as much and may not work as well with their skin.
Here's a short film ostensibly promoting the new scent from Juliette Has a Gun, Citizen Queen, though there's only one instance in the film where possibly the perfume appears. But it does seem these more subtle promotional videos are often the best, and this is no exception. Unfortunately we can't find the scent anywhere on the Web, it launched in April in Paris and was expected to launch in the US in May. We're on the case so keep checking ShinyGloss for more details.
While Stam certainly has the face for the blunt cut, we're going to miss her ethereal blonde beauty if she doesn't switch back in time for the Spring 08 shows.

We've got a doozy for you on the high-end side this week. This 3lab WW cream is available at Barneys for $400.
The reason for the price, the rough equivelent of some car payments, is the exclusive Promatryx and Hydranox complexes. They claim to reduce facial wrinkles, accelerate rhythmic skin cell turnover and brighten skin tone for a youthful complexion.
For that price you should be able to choose the rhythm of your skin cell turnover - you know, if you prefer a conga beat or a more chill Caribbean vibe. (Couldn't resist.)
Tis the season of swimming and socializing in and near the water. What's a makeup addict to do but watch her carefully applied eyes slip down her cheeks? This video on the Sephora Web site tells you which waterproof products really deliver on their promises.
Everyone knows Ken Paves is not only the hairstylist of tons of celebrities, but also Jessica Simpson's BFF. And, from a girl's standpoint at least, the best thing about Jessica Simpson is her hair!
So any product line by Ken Paves is going to garner interest. His new line, Healthy Hair by Ken Paves, included botanicals and essential oils to give you a healthy, happy mane before you even start styling. When you do, his color drops are designed to keep your color looking great too.
With oily, acne-prone skin which has also become prone to dry patches in my 20s, I have tried a lot of skin care regimens. Sometimes I tried all products from one brand, sometimes I mixed "star products" from different brands.
As a beauty writer your skin can take a beating from trying all different products for only a week or two at a time. So my latest system has been to stick to one simple regimen and add in only one product I'm reviewing at a time.
Find out why I threw that time-tested regimen out the door to try all five products of the Somme Institute skin care system - continue reading!
Ok, not a man exactly. In fact, it's the comments. The comments are down.
This hurts me more than it hurts you, I'm sure. We're working on fixing the problem, and we hope to see you soon! Remember you can still have your say on The Forums in the meantime.
