Any net-a-porter fans out there? I, for one, am a rapid one! And I read in WWD that Natalie Massenet, the brilliant founder of net-a-porter (look for her profile in Teen Vogue’s book in Oct!), is starting a DISCOUNT website for designer goods called TheOutNet.com! I can’t wait!
#12: Optimize your sleep.
Getting the right amount of sleep helps ensure that you are alert and focused and that your body (and skin!) has time to repair itself. Try to get a minimum of eight hours a night.
Being a complete germaphobe, I typically go through a bottle of hand soap every few weeks. The first thing I do when I get home is wash my hands. Touch a piece of chicken while cooking? Wash my hands. Pick up a pair of shoes off the floor? Wash my hands. You get the drift, pretty much just EXISTING on a second-to-second basis requires a handwash or two. 
I recently tried out a new brand of hand soap called FURTHER. It’s GREAT! Why, you might be asking? Let me count the ways!
Just came across an easy tip from Bobbi Brown for natural looking defined eyebrows.Photo by Julianne.Hide at flickr.comChoose a shade matching your natural brow color. Brush your brows down, this way you will see the line to fill in. Fill in white spaces using selected color with a brow brush/pencil. Blend. Now just brush your brows upwards again and the correction line wont be noticeable.Check
Crystal asks: “What is the best way to work with short, fine lashes?”
Having long, luscious lashes is sadly not something we’re all blessed with… but luckily there are some great products out there that can help make your eyes pop! We’ve asked some of our favorite makeup artists for their best tips to make your lashes appear full and voluminous.
Makeup artist Emily Kate Warren suggests using Maybelline Lash Discovery Mascara. “Use Lash Discovery to work up into the lash roots and get the tiny hard-to-reach lashes. Layer a lengthening or volumizing mascara like L’Oreal Lash Out on top.”
MAX Factor celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey swears by MAX Factor’s 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper: “The big brush grabs every lash, even the little ones, and coats them with the product precisely. The formula increases the thickness of lashes up to 200% versus bare lashes.”
Creator & CEO of Tarte Cosmetics Maureen Kelly recommends Bottoms Up Lower Lash Mascara: “You can get the tiniest of lashes without getting mascara on your face!” She also loves Lights, Camera, Lashes!, a 4-in-1 mascara (lengthening, curling, volumizing, and conditioning) which she says is clinically proven to increase the appearance of lash curl by 90.2%!
Napoleon Perdis says, “To achieve fuller, longer lashes, look to particular mascara formulas, wands, and special features, like color. He suggests first applying Napoleon Perdis Peep Show in Madame Prep (a primer). “Not to prime is a crime!” he says. “Follow this application with Madame Curl Curl to lengthen and lift lashes. To really set yourself apart, apply Colored Lash Patrol Mascara to the tips of lashes.”
Erin McCarthy, Education Manager of MAKE UP FOR EVER, says: “To give the illusion of a full lash line, it’s best to use a thickening mascara most concentrated right at the base of the lashes. The blacker the lashes are at the lash line, the fuller they will appear. Aqua Smoky Lash mascara is great because it’s blacker than most mascaras and gives a 3D effect of volume, length, and curl. Lift at the brow to get the brush as close to the lash line as possible, move the brush from side to side so the product catches between the lashes. Apply two coats of mascara to the lash line before bringing the brush up through the length of the lashes. The result will be thicker, longer-looking lashes that will make the eyes really stand out!”
Now we have one more reason to wear red lipstick. And this time its scientifically supported!A study by two University of Rochester psychologists looked at a relationship between color and behavior. It was revealed that the color red makes men feel more attracted to women.In the course of the study researchers analyzed mens responses to photographs of women under a variety of color
