Tip of the day: Mascara 101


The perfect swipe. As women, we want our mascara to be a macho man -- thick, long, long-lasting, conditioning and waterproof. Okay, maybe that was the wrong metaphor but regardless, we expect a lot out of our mascara but we might not be doing our part in meeting our partner half way.

Here are a few helpful hints to get the best show out of your favorite mascara.

Tip of the day: Cosmetic lifespans


Many of us gals have been the victim of expired cosmetics. Here's the scenario. After seeing pics of that smokin' gloss we used to wear in high school, we rush to our beauty closet only to open the tube to a rank stank that we don't understand. Most beauty products do not have any smell, or if they do, it is very faint. If you start noticing some product BO, it's because that favorite gloss is dying a slow, bacteria-invested death in that dark, tightly sealed tube. Once the product has peaked, it can cause some pretty gross irritations or infections if used. To avoid all of the above, follow these general toss time guidelines.

Beauty for dummies. And smarties.


We're getting addicted to the Stylelist how-to slide shows. Today our sister site is showcasing a slew of easy to use make-up items and there are a couple of killer finds in there.

At first we felt a little, well, superior. After all, we have mad make-up skillz, earned through years of clown faced experiments. And the first item in the gallery was that Sally Hansen nail pen we posted about a month ago. Um, yawn.

But then we were very pleasantly surprised by the rest of the products. Not just easy to use, they are also cool!

Do not fear the brights: makeup

Kristen Seymour did a great post recently about how to wear neon.

When you're talking about something as fun as neon, why stop at clothes and jewelry? What's good for your body is good for your face.

Yes, neon make up. Pop Beauty Lid Neon eyeshadow, to be specific. Wow! Now those are brights!

As gorgeous as these colors are, please, use some restraint. Do not:
  • use more than one color at a time
  • match it exactly to your outfit
  • apply it in great sweeping wings, like Endora

And if you need more help, just follow the directions thoughtfully provided on the inside lid of the kit.

Snag yourself this awesome Pop Beauty set exclusively at Sephora for $22.

Bobbi Brown's Surf and Sand eye palette

Blue is a controversial eyeshadow color. In the 80s, it was huge. In the 90s, it was hated. So how do we feel about it now in the 00s? Well, if it's anything like the blues in Bobbi Brown's Surf and Sand eye palette, we probably say, "Bring it on!"

Bobbi's (if I may call her by her first name) limited-edition summertime eye palette includes 10 ultra-sheer pigments that can be used in infinite configurations. Used alone or together, each shimmery color puts a modern spin on beige, aqua and pale pink shadows. The dreamy collection is said to work well on a variety of complexions and age ranges.

At the moment, the eye palette is somewhat difficult to come by -- Bobbi's website is actually out of stock until mid-May -- but if you have access to her makeup at a nearby department store, a few of the coveted palettes might still be up for grabs.
