Fashion Just Won’t Quit Blackface: Really, Vogue Netherlands? In 2013 we should not still be seeing blackface in our magazines.

The BB Cream Blind Test: We hold a blind BB cream testing session to find the “cream” of the BB crop. Check out our top three faves.

Beyoncé Takes Center Stage With Nipple Costumes: Fake nipples seem to be a recurring theme on Beyoncé’s Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.

Editor’s Pick: Cheryl’s Non-Clumping Volumizing Mascara

by

Mascara is my desert island beauty staple. I will not leave the house for any reason without it, for fear of scaring everyone with my zombie-like lack of eyelashes. I have mascara stashed in every bag I own, not to mention all over the house. It’s the only thing I hoard.

I’ve had favorites over the years ranging from drugstore to high end, but they have all been displaced by this new sleek Chanel beauty.

L’Oreal Gets Natalie Portman’s Dior Mascara Ad Banned

by

Dior is making headlines again, but this time it isn’t about buzzy new head designer Raf Simons.

According to an article by the Telegraph [since removed from their site] referenced by the Huffington Post, the brand’s beauty department is under fire after a mascara ad featuring Natalie Portman was reported to the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK. And who filed the complaint?

Prime This

by

I finally came into possession of a tube of Lancôme’s vibrating mascara. Or I thought it was mascara until I pulled out the wand and it was white – something called mascara primer apparently. I’m not big on fancy eyelash tricks. My mom once told me that if I used an eyelash curler all my Read more →

Eye Spy

by

The one product that we absolutely never leave the house without applying is mascara. Seriously, our lashes need to be sufficiently blackened, lengthened, and separated before we hit the road. And with all of the random oscillating and polymer-coating mascaras out there, we were shocked that it took so long for someone to come up Read more →

Loyalty and Mascara at Kiehl’s

by

Fact: Kiehl’s customers are die-hard – they don’t call it a “cult” favorite for nothing – and will go on and on about everything from the Cr√®me de Corps to the Grooming Cr√®me until you kind of want to shove their Lip Balm #1 down their throats. If you’ve ever wondered how the 158 year-old Read more →

Trend Test: Totally Tubular

by

In the history of mascaras, first came the primer craze, then there were fibers, followed by vibrating wands, and now tubes take their turn as the latest lash craze. The original tube mascara, Blinc, was a cult hit, lauded by beauty editors near and far. Naturally, L’Oréal and Stila have followed suit. For the uninitiated, Read more →

Fly JetBlue, Get Free Mascara…

by

Friday night, I was on a JetBlue flight to Fort Lauderdale, headed to Key West for a friend’s wedding. About half way into my Munch Mix and Coke, one of the flight attendants handed me a tube of Maybelline’s Great Lash. I said, “What’s this?” He said, “A gift” and continued to hand out mascara Read more →

First Look: Daria for Lancome (Again)

by

Earlier this summer, Faran reported in Page Six Magazine that Daria Werbowy was sailing around the world all season – no cell phone, no internet, and definitely no modeling. But it seems she got one more task done before taking off: She shot a new campaign for Lancome where she demonstrates their amazing, expensive, incredible Read more →

Estée Lauder Makes Vibrating Mascara

by

We’ve never understood vibrating toothbrushes. We’ve always wondered who these people are that won’t do the up-and-down brush motion with their hands, and need an appliance to actually do the brushing movement for them. So when we read in WWD this morning that Estée Lauder is coming out with TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara, a Read more →

The Great Mascara Swap

by

And now, a note from Faran… Last night, I couldn’t find my mascara, so I grabbed my Lancome liquid eyeliner and gently painted my upper and lower lashes with its little, skinny brush. I think it’s the best eye makeup I’ve ever had. Instead of sticky clumps or threads, I just got a row of Read more →

Backstage Beauty: Mascara Made Easy

by

Want perfect lashes, like Gabriella? We’ve finally figured it out, thanks to Charlotte Tilbury and the other M.A.C artists backstage at the Tents: They told us that the best way to avoid clumps is this: Take a tissue or a piece of toilet paper, and gently wrap it around your mascara wand. Pull the mascara Read more →
