Pit Juice Can Give You Cancer - StyleLIES

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Style Lies

deodorantWe've all heard the big debates on natural products vs. chemical ones. In reality, a lot of these chemicals, including the ones in beauty products, have not been studied in depth and researchers are only beginning to scratch the surface the underlying problems they can create over a lifetime of use. So what does a Yale dermatology doc have to say about all of this deodorant/cancer hubbub?

Yu-Be

Filed under: Skin Care

One way to find products gentle enough for sensitive skin is to shop for baby products. Japanese pharmacist Yoshikiyo Nowatari, way back in 1957, decided to turn that idea on it's side, and make a gentle, chemical free body care product that the whole family could use. The Yu-Be line is the result.

Yu-Be's glycerin-based formula is free of artificial colors, fragrances, oils and petroleum, and enriched with vitamins E and B2. It also contains camphor, which is sort of a wonder ingredient that soothes irritations, is a mild local anesthetic and is anti-microbial.

Today Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is the top selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skincare cream in Japan, probably because you can use it for everything. And now you don't have to go to Japan to find it. Sephora offers it online, for the relatively affordable price of $24 for the 2.75 ounce jar.

Gessato: Italian for your face

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care


To refer to Gessato's shaving treatment as shaving cream would be like calling gelato an ice cream. It ain't right.

Sure, gelato and ice cream are both made with milk and sugar, but... oh, sorry.

Gessato, as a company, is "Italian artisanship with modern formulations." This means that they make and market their products "in the United States with an Italian sensibility for time-hewn craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail."

Hylexin: Reduce dark eye circles

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Product Reviews


Hylexin is an eye cream designed "to help reduce the appearance of serious dark circles and chronic puffiness surrounding the orbital eye area."

When they say "serious" they aren't kidding. According to their website, "...serious dark circles... not the kind that pop up in the morning and are gone by breakfast, but the kind of serious dark circles that stay around forever... making you look old, tired and exhausted."

Basically, the kind we have.

Soothe your sunburn with Burt's Bees aloe and buttermilk lotion

Filed under: Skin Care


San Francisco summers are freezing cold. We usually spend June and July so bundled up that the sun doesn't have a chance to burn any body parts. We must admit: sunscreen is often an afterthought.

Last week we sat through a two hour graduation ceremony in Boston during a heatwave and received a fierce reminder of it's importance: glowing, red, sunburned arms.

This was a bad burn, and Lubriderm wasn't going to cut it, so we headed to Walgreens for aloe vera gel. Luckily we found something even better: Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Lotion.

Tip of the day: How to avoid summer makeup meltdown

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Most of us love the summertime – the sun, the beach, the warmth, the runny makeup... okay, so maybe we don't love all of it. When the weather is hot and you're sweating your face off literally, it is time to readjust your makeup routine so you don't look like a hot mess for the next three months.

Rolling Razor: Shaving (r)evolved

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care


We shave. You shave. We all shave for, um, the acceptance of society? We're not sure why we're forced to shave, but we know it itches if we don't. Plus we look a bit like Lon Chaney, Jr., if we ignore it too long. It's the hair gene (that's science) and it's our curse. Damn dirty apes.

Until recently there weren't a lot of options in razors. There were straight, stem, disposable, electric and laser cat. Some choices have proven more popular than others.

Enter the two-headed dragon. The Rolling Razor slips on and off fingers easier than a wedding ring in Vegas. So we've heard.

Dress of the Day: Milly Belted Shift

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

milly belted shift dressNow we've known about Milly, but we didn't actually get to know Milly until we had a close encounter of the dressing room kind with a Milly dress on a weekend road trip a few months ago. Since then, we have been crazy about the modern vintage look of Milly.

Milly's Belted Shift Dress is made of 96% cotton with a touch of linen to give it some class. A high, wide fold-over neckline stands more polished than a traditional cowl neck, and bust darts, vertical seaming, and a cinched waist add even more structure. There's a 1¼" black patent belt that is screaming for a mathcing pair of black patent peep-toe heels.

Available from Intermix for $375.

Shoes of the Day: Shoes with Architecture

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

giuseppe zanotti architecture wedge sandalWe often refer to "skyscraper" heels here at Styledash, and when we do, we're usually just talking about stiletto heels that send your long, lean physique towering. However, this Spring, "skyscraper" is taking a truly architectural bent in shoes that not only feature high heels, but hard-angled designs that could look like you're, well, wearing little buildings on your feet. Now we're not saying we necessarily love the look of these super clunky shoes, but they were featured on the runways for Spring '08.

The shoe show is Giuseppe Zanotti's Cream-colored "wedge" sandal that has a 6" heel (we love that height!), but a 2½" platform, so you feel like you're sashaying on a mere 4½". The 100% leather shoes feature an oversized adjustable buckle on vamp, and ankle strap with an adjustable buckle, and contrast stitching.

Available at PiperLime for (sit down for this) $750.

Dress of the Day: Young Fabulous & Broke Orange/Cream Racerback Dress

young fabulous and broke racerback tank dressI will almost always tell you, no matter how stick skinny you might be, to never ever never never wear horizontal stripes, particularly wide stripes.

Almost always.

If you want to throw on Young Fabulous & Broke's Racerback Tank Dress that is not only horizontally striped, but horizontally striped in orange and cream, two colors that are, together, definitely not subtle, then I will keep my mouth shut. Though you might look like a creamsicle, or perhaps a very pale version of Nemo, the dress, 75% viscose 25% lurex with a metallic thread woven throughout, is totally cute. It's perfect for a summer Sunday brunch on the terrace with a pair of dressy-because-they're-gold, but casual-because-they're-flip-flops flip flops.

Available from Revolve Clothing for $123.

Dress of the Day: Twinkle Ruffle Sleeve Tunic Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

twinkle black and cream ruffle sleeve tunic dressTwinkle, Twinkle, you're a star, dress of the day, today you are.

I love this Ruffle Sleeve Tunic Dress from Twinkle by Wenlan for the subtle paradox it is. With short little ruffle sleeves, modest to-the-knee length, and slightly assymetrical hemline, the dress is sweet. However, if you look closely at the black-on-cream-print, you'll see that the nature scene is pixelated into a digital ladnscape -- futuristic! I'm thinking shoes that are just as paradoxical would work best here. A sweet round toe, with a fierce stiletto heel.

Twinkle by Wenlan's Ruffle Sleeve Tunic Dress is available on sale at Azalea for $100.

Dress of the Day: Lacoste Gab Shirt Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

lacsote shirtdressI'm just way too lazy to have to think about putting entire outfits together, so Spring's dress trend couldn't be any more perfect for little ol' me. Of course, there is the issue of shoes, but we'll save that problem for another day.

I am absolutely wild about Lacoste's Gab Shirt Dress in color cream. It's so perfectly casual for the right kind of California casual office, or for running out to meet The Girls for lunch and shopping. Like a traditional shirt dress, it has a button placket, but this dress has the ease and comfort of a dropped wait (we did say "lunch" right?), as well as the convenience of pockets at the hip. Keep it casual with a pair of tennis shoes if you'd like, but I think this dress absolutely calls for a pair of platform wedge espadrilles.

Available at Urban Outfitters for $155.
