Like any good beauty junky, we are constantly seeking the "holy grail;" a.k.a. the best face cream at the best price our money can buy. After years of scouring the beauty aisle, we think we might have finally found it in the Korres Wild Rose collection. What makes this line with its soft, seductive scent better than the rest?

We recently got to test out Korres' Wild Rose Cream SPF 6. While we absolutely loved the product, we couldn't wrap our heads around how SPF 6 could protect our skin. It got us thinking, "What's with all these products with low SPF and do they even protect?" So we went straight to the source and consulted with Korres' Director of Education.Filed under: Skin Care
The final "bonus" week of the Wellness with Rose program was incredibly fun because, as a beauty fanatic, I love testing different creams and oils on my skin. Now that Rose has helped me flush out my body and clear up my skin, I am not afraid to try anything she suggests. This week she provided enough topical suggestions to keep me experimenting in my "spa" (a.k.a. my bathroom) for months!

We'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?Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends, Beauty Tips
This year brought some big changes in red carpet makeup -- namely, a serious lack of it. We've gotten so used to the heavy, dark, smoky eyes and bold red lips on even the youngest of actresses that seeing anything less is ... well, a little shocking. But, at the same time, completely refreshing.Filed under: Stores We Love, Hair Care

Mezhgan's philosophy is that the goal of wearing makeup is to get compliments on how pretty you look, not how good your makeup looks. This week she has some tips to help you look stunning without looking like you're wearing a lot of makeup, like our beautiful model India De Beaufort.

Start With A Great Canvas
Most importantly you want to have a great canvas to start from. This is where your foundation comes in. Mezhgan recommends using a liquid foundation over a primer because it makes it go on smoother and last a bit longer.

Apply Foundation for an Even Tone
You want to use your liquid foundation to even out your skin tone, not necessarily cover any flaws. This is where so many people go wrong!

Concealer for Extra Coverage
Use a concealer to take care of anything that needs a little extra covering up, like blemishes or dark circles.

Powder Sets the Canvas
Set your make up by gently brushing on translucent powder, which won't alter the color of your foundation. This method leaves you looking flawless and gives you coverage where you need it when you need it instead of all over.

A Bit of Blush
Next dust a bit of a subtle blush color starting at the apples of your cheeks and sweeping through the hairline. Be careful not to go too far in on the face close to the nose. It will look unnatural. You can also mix a highlighter along the top of your cheek to give a subtle glow.

Brighten Your Eyes
Take a light shadow color and dust across the lid to brighten the eyes and open them up a little.

Subtly Define Your Eyes
Smudge a taupe or brown shadow/pencil in your natural lash line. This will define your eye but still not look like you are wearing liner.

Embrace the Eyelash Curler
Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. This instantly opens up your eyes!

Enhance With Mascara
Follow up with a few coats of mascara to further define your eyes. Make sure to replace your mascara often to avoid clumping, not to mention bacteria!
