I just bought new eyeshadow and eye primer last week at Sephora. I've never in my life gotten compliments on eyeshadow from men but last week I did. Who says guys don't notice a new haircut? Some of them notice shadow.
So what's my secret? Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion paired with Christian Dior's amazing 5-colour eyeshadow palettes, the pigments of which are rich, rich, rich, unlike Chanel's eyeshadow which I bought a few months ago and was way too "barely there."
The primer keep the shadow in place for hours and even overnight if I forget to remove my makeup, which I did over the weekend once.

According to the New York Times, the new It Hair of the Moment belongs to Blake Lively. In the 80s, it was Farrah, in the 90s, it was Jennifer Aniston. Now the hot hair of the moment apparently is long, messy and downright....stringy.

One of the most popular and endearing articles on my site (according to people who write in to me) is my
Diary of a Hair Removal Guinea Pig.
I tried laser hair removal because I could no longer stand my Brillo Pad legs and having to apologize to boyfriends for them. Several thousand dollars and three years later, I've completed all but one of my sessions. Since I started the procedures the popularity of lasers has soared.
So, did it work? Would I do it again? Find out in my diary.

Black Friday is just days away and many of you will be out dodging the hordes of shoppers to land that perfect gift at a discount.
Not me. No way, no how. I went to Macy's on 34th St. the day after Thanksgiving one year and the whole experience made me want to take a long nap with an ice pack over my eyes. Every year since then I've shopped online.
To inspire your gift-giving this year, here are my favorite gifts and stocking stuffers for 2009:
