Nailing It

Mani/Pedi’s, to me, have always kind of been a necessary evil.  No doubt that sitting back and having a relaxing 40 minutes is a welcome break to the day, but am I the only one that constantly panics thinking that fungus is going to take over my existence?  I love a freshly done manicure.  Short, cuticle free nails has an …

Beauty Trends 2012

It’s true what they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” If we follow beauty trends from season to season, we’d go from bold brows to naked foreheads, from glittered lips to lined blow fish pouts, from clown cheeks to goth faces. The true trend is what you wear well. It’s nice to know the season trends in …

The Price of Beauty

Beauty routines and beauty essentials seem to be a never ending quest for perfection.  Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) “perfect” doesn’t exist.  The beauty industry is a $45 to $66 billion business, and the american woman spends an average of $12,000 a year in products and grooming.  That’s crazy!  Every time we stroll through the …

Bold Brows

As fashion week keeps moving at a lightning pace, we start to see some common threads. I personally love to watch how designers and make up artists work together to create a cohesive partnership between fashion and beauty.  Among other trends, bold brows seem to be popping up in a majority of shows.  From Zac Posen to Derek Lam, bold …

Headbands

Last night at the Golden Globes we saw some definite trends.  Color took a back seat, bright lips made an appearance and headbands helped make a statement.  Headbands are a great trend to carry through into spring and summer.  It’s an easy way to help a grow out and/or a bad hair day.  I love the ease of a ponytail …
