Ammonia-free hair coloring

Here comes a "revolution" in hair coloring, according to scientists. That would be scientists at L"Oreal, who say they have found a way to replace stinky ammonia with a new, odorless, substitute.

You are probably dying to know that ammonia has been a part of hair coloring since L"Oreal"s founder invented it a century ago this year. The new dye is called INOA for Innovation No Ammonia, which seems sensible. L"Oreal claims that, in addition to being free of ammonia smell, INOA feels more like a thick skin cream than regular hair coloring products.

INOA is already used in salons in Europe. It will be available at salons in the US and Canada early next year and eventually in home hair dye, the company says. Posted by: Sarah      Read more     Source

The Christmas Tree Lights

On every side of the street you can see the wonder of Christmas as people string the lights with their families and celebrate the holiday season. However, for some, just decorating some trees instead of a homestead is perfection.

Olivia Palermo's Sergio Rossi Python Satchel

For awhile I was thinking to myself "does Olivia Palermo ever look bad??" Every time she is photographed she looks flawless (though unsurprisingly I"ve seen her in person and she is completely caked in makeup when you see her up-close). I"ve noticed now though that every single photo I"ve seen/written about where she looks fierce, was taken on a day she was filming The City....not to take away from the fact that there"s no denying the girl knows how to dress, just think it"s funny now to watch the show and recognize pretty much everything she"s wearing! On the left she"s pictured in Sergio Rossi"s Python Satchel another spot-on choice that really livens us her outfit. I love going with a monochromatic dark outfit and then adding a splash of color with my accessories; it"s a great winter look (especially when you can coordinate your bag with your shoes!).

What do you think about Olivia"s look? Posted by: Sharon      Read more     Source

Demeter Dots Pick Me Up Cologne Spray

2009 Holiday Beauty Gift Guide

$20 Holiday Beauty Gift Idea!

The first Demeter fragrance I owned was Demeter Fragrance Library Gin & Tonic Cologne Spray. I still find it the perfect summer refreshing pick me up - lots of citrus, crisp, with a hint of the essence of a real glass of dry, clear Gin....

It"s been a while since I"ve picked up a another Demeter scent, but I actually found this new one from Demeter"s Toostie line while a shop keepper was literally opening up the box to start stocking the shelves at my local store.....

This scent is just a lot of fun - fruity and sweet but still light. (Demeter scents are light in general since they are cologne spray concentrations).

With the opening of the scent I picked up pineapple, coconut and the mango on my skin immediately, and with a little more time I began to smell the grapefruit notes, which lasted the longest on me.

What is so fun about this creation is that the fruity blend really does give the essence of the candy - not just the fruits. A perfect scent for the weekends, beach side relaxing and for teens/tweens too! - RLB Posted by: Palacinka Beauty      Read more     Source

Ferragamo Gathered Clutch

Tina and I are on opposite ends of the love/hate for Ferragamo. I think I am just struck sick with love for the ankle strap platform sandals, I am completely obsessed but cannot throw down $2200 for them. And besides, it would make me a giant Amazon woman at 6"1". But this clutch is something I can totally do and probably will. How cute and versatile is this amazing thing? It is a good size and the balloon shape makes it roomy. The frame opens wide for easy access and also keeps the integrity of the shape. Comes in an off white for summer, or get the year round chocolate at Neiman Marcus for $950. Also comes in python. Posted by: Kelly      Read more     Source

USB-Powered Eyelash Curler

The Touch Beauty Eyelash Curler is pretty simple to use. You just plug it into an available USB port and use like you would a regular curler. I"m hoping that there"s more to it, maybe it has a little heating action to help get the curling action going. If not, I really don"t see the point of it being USB-powered.
