What you see at left is the effect of the Hawaiian sun on my hair.Just a couple of weeks of playing outside kept my highlights fresh, turning the blondest pieces even blonder, and making me look like I just stepped out of the salon, even though the highlights were already almost two months old. It brought out depth and layers in the highlights that I hadn’t seen since they were truly fresh (my

Friends, I am on SUCH an Urban Decay kick lately! (Check out this recent post, and this one, and this one.)My latest obsession is the Get Baked Palette ($28). First off, the palette itself is adorable, with a brown floral, ’60s mod cover and an aqua interior.Inside you’ll find four shimmer-packed shadows, a fabulous 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, and a mini Primer Potion in Sin.The shadows work really

In the spirit of my past Summer Essentials posts (check out this one and this one), here are a few of my must-haves from my recent Hawaiian escapades.

Last year we talked about an upcoming drug from Allergan that promised to stimulate eyelash growth, giving you “longer, fuller darker” lashes, but with some pretty scary potential side effects. At the time, 80% of you said you’d skip it.Well, that product – called Latisse – is now on the market, and I’m sure that by now you’ve seen the commercial with Brooke Shields, posted above.The results look

Earlier this week I was at a half-day meeting that thankfully ended with cocktails (woo!). But standing around with a glass of wine for two hours KILLED my feet, friends. My penchant for towering heels had taken its toll in the worst way. Damn you, Christian Louboutin.Having departed the cocktail party, I realized I wouldn’t even be able to make it out of the building without collapsing from the
