Lash Stiletto Mascara

Filed under: Cosmetics, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips

Annie Scott with Maybelline Lash StilettoWe love the name of Maybelline's latest mascara - Lash Stiletto. All mascaras are different; some make lashes longer, some make them fuller, some add conditioners, sparkle, color ... we decided to try this one out and see what it did. We really loved the natural, flirty results!

The Moa Boa Magic Scarf

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing

Annie Scott with the Moa Boa Magic Scarf
We were skeptical when we heard about the Original Magic Scarf . See our skepticism? See it? Apparently, this furry thing can be worn as a scarf, a shirt, a dress, a hood, a belt, and all kinds of other ways. WTF? Blogger Annie Scott (above) is not afraid to give it a whirl.

Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing, Product Reviews

When Parajumpers -- named for the 210th Rescue Squadron in Anchorage, Alaska -- sent us a sample of their charming short parka, we decided to give it a test that we doubt Robert Redford, Denise Richards, or Jennifer Garner (all Parajumpers fans) did: We wore it ice skating in Minnesota.

Makeover at Bobbi Brown

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Get the Look, Beauty Tips

Continuing our quest to bring you the very best makeup and skincare finds, I once again braved the department store makeup counters (this time at Bloomingdale's) to find out what's going on at Bobbi Brown.

At right is the "After" picture; that's me all made-up by adorable Bobbi Brown Beauty Advisor Houston Puryear. She's from Austin.

Read on for the hideous "Before" picture, and for information on how to get the look.

DEX New York's line of mineral makeup

Filed under: Cosmetics, Get the Look, Beauty Tips

Annie ScottI recently had the opportunity to get made up by Catalina Ceballos, a makeup artist and teacher at DEX New York, a salon frequented by Tyra Banks and Posh (Victoria Beckham). This is me before, rockin' my pink hair for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Catalina took off all my makeup except my eyeliner, which she liked (it's a dark brown Lancome shadow applied with water). She trimmed my eyebrows, and brushed on a special shade of Tinted Hydrator, SPF 20, which she created for me by blending two shades. DEX New York's Tinted Hydrator has ginkgo biloba and ginseng to increase circulation.

Catalina then applied loose and pressed powder, again using two shades blended with a kabuki brush. She used a mineral illuminator auto-pen on my undereye circles over the powder.

Then came the color. Read on to see the "after" picture and see what she used on me! Also note: Most of the products she used are available on the DEX New York website.

Ban.do: The new wave in hair fashion

Filed under: Accessories, Product Reviews, Must Haves, Hair Cut and Style

Check out the hottest hair trend for this season!This fall, you're probably gonna start putting pretty stuff in your hair and you're probably gonna like it. Don't you just love these? We want them all!

Fascinators have been quietly creeping onto the scene, but if you want a look that really says "class" without any danger of it saying "junior prom," visit Ban.do.

Ban.do makes gorgeous hair pieces like the ones you see here, and I took one out for a test drive to see if I felt weird or over-the-top wearing a giant feather in my hair. Check it out in the gallery below.

Honestly, these are the most sophisticated hair pieces I have ever seen. They are cool, creative, and not one of them looks like it came from Claire's. Bandos cost a pretty penny, from about $80-$200, but you're not going to find anything better.

The designers are Jen and Jamie, two L.A. stylists who launched Ban.Do about two months ago. They aren't retailing anywhere yet, so be sure to visit their website, shopbando.com. They have the potential to be big, and you have the potential to be the first one of your friends to pick up on this fall's fun and glamorous hair trend.
