Great art should speak for itself, right? Bwa ha ha. Tell that to Swipe Films, who , according to Variety, is so desperate to get the attention of buyers at the Cannes Film Festival for its $4 million Russian movie Vanechka, that it’s bribing potential buyers the mother of all swag bags: $1,000 in Sisley […]

I’m not big into “beauty books”. You know, the kind that tell you how to look years younger, dress pounds slimmer, hide away your wrinkles, etc. But when I flipped through the brand-new Sephora: The Ultimate Guide to Makeup, Skin, And Hair From the Beauty Authority ($27.95, amazon.com) the other day, I was giddy. While […]

It’s go time.

8:00pm - “The nation is gripped?” Maybe pre-pubescent girls, closeted teens and grandmas (and yes, me). But I don’t know about The Nation. Btw, loving David Cook (henceforth referred to as Cookie) and David Archuleta (heretofore known as Chuleta) in their white-on-white outfits.
8:01pm - According to Ryan Seacrest, 97.5 million votes came in […]

…which is why I can’t partake in any teeth-whitening activities. See, when I was six, I went to my friend’s house for a sleepover, and we thought it would be awesome to spin around as fast as we could while playing our favorite Whitney Houston tape. As “How Will I Know” blasted out […]

We’ve all been there before—dating duds. My last boyfriend was an nice guy but terribly vanilla. None of my friends even remember his name. He pretty much just blended in with the walls.
After we broke up, my friends totally fessed up to their true feelings.
“He seemed too quiet for your taste,” admitted my sister Roxanna.
“Yo, […]

Ladies, let the countdown begin! Or should I say the American countdown, because it looks like the Brits have one on us. Yes, Sex and the City: The Movie recently premiered in London’s Leicester Square. ‘What?!’ you’re probably yelling. ‘Not in New York–como puede ser that the fashionable girls across the pond got to see […]

Obsession is a dirty word in most people’s minds. But really, all it means is that you love something a whole, whole lot. That’s not so bad, is it? I don’t think so. Personally, I’m obsessed with Fresh Fragrances. There are so many of their scents that I love, like Fig Apricot, but my absolute […]

Remember back when we could shove full-sized beauty products into our carry-on bags, arrive at the airport and be on our merry way? Those were the days. Now I’m stuck recycling–er, I mean…recycling is a pleasure; green is good!–old, 3 oz. plastic bottles and trying to sieve goopy sunscreens, moisturizers and other such potions […]

Here in the beauty closet, we get lots of cool products. I’m not going to lie…we are lucky girls to be able to play with makeup the way we do. And it’s all for the greater good: To discover new goodies that’ll make you hot chicas look and feel even hotter! But occasionally, we get […]

It’s no secret–half of the beauty products we buy, we buy for the packaging; the pretty, fun and in some cases, purposeful packaging. Cargo Botanical Lipstick ($20, sephora.com) comes with one that’s unbelievably Earth-friendly; the rectangle of paper that holds the lipstick is made out of corn (no joke!) and infused with wildflower seeds. So […]
