Need Glow-in-the-Dark Makeup or Zombie Bath Jelly? Here Are Our Fave Halloween-Themed Beauty Collections
Limited edition makeup and beauty collections for the winter holidays have a long and hallowed tradition in the beauty industry. Who hasn’t picked up a red lipstick or sparkly nail polish for a New Year’s party? But Halloween collections? This is a relatively new–and if you ask us, sorta weird–thing. Not that we’re complaining. (We love Halloween and may or may not have dressed up as Lady Gaga last year.)
We’re not talking makeup for a costume here, though. We’re talking about bath products and makeup that all have a Halloween theme. And seriously…what is cuter than a li’l pumpkin on your vanity (or your nails)? From glow-in-the-dark makeup to spider webs for your nails, click through for some spooky beauty options.

Trendspotting: Roaring ’20s
It wasn’t enough that the latter part of New York Fashion Week was dancing the Charleston (well, not literally), or that a select few London shows saw their waistlines drop. Now, Milan has jumped on board the 1920s trend, and that was just in the first day. You may have noticed some vintage-inspired looks at Gucci or even Alberta Ferretti’s light-as-air exits at the beginning of the show.
Filming of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby is underway in Australia and we think designers are getting a little inspired.

Fashionista’s Favorite Beauty Products
We spend a lot of time around the office discussing our favorite items, from shoes to bags to whatever look book happens to be around. Sometimes the best way to find a new product is to have a friend turn you on to it. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up all of our favorite beauty products, in no particular order.
Nars, MAC, and Clinique are popular in our office, and our beauty purchasing is very high/low, ranging from Tom Ford to Neutrogena from the drugstore. And like most women, we have some things to which we’re very loyal, and some that get transitioned in and out.
Click through to see our top picks, and tell us about your beloved products–we’re always looking for ideas.

Beach Beauty: Tinted SPF Moisturizers
Even though it’s only April–and currently 60 degrees and rainy here in NYC–it’s never too early to start thinking about beach beauty. One must be optimistic after such a craptastic winter.
So whether you’re heading somewhere tropical for spring break or just going to sit outside for brunch, you can start your sunny, warm weather preparation by picking up a tinted moisturizer with an SPF component. They pack a lot of punch for one product: moisture after a cold winter, a bit of color, and sun protection.
Click through to see some classics, as well as new options from Bobbi Brown and Philosophy.

My New Secret
The nice girls over at Philosophy read my story about swearing off makeup and squealed, “We have a present for you!” I love presents. But it wasn’t a present so much as a product called, “The Present: Clear Makeup.” The label reads, “Do you crave airbrushed skin?” Yes. “Do your wrinkles and pores deserve to Read more →
