Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

image
What is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I'm instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what's even better -- now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy's Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it's not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I'm pretty sure downing this won't taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!


Price: $25

Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Candy Corn Shower Gel

image
I don't know about you, but when I think of Halloween, the word that most prominently comes to mind is hardly a scary one -- "candy." Mini Skittles packets, fun-size Snickers, king-size candy bars from the nice old man down the street. Oh, and candy corn! Can't forget the candy corn. However, now that we're well past our trick-or-treating days (sort of), and we're more or less haunted by the effects of all those extra calories, we body-conscious ladies have to find healthier ways of getting our Halloween sugar fix. Thanks to Philosophy and all their signature yummy-scented bath and beauty products, we can literally douse ourselves in Halloween-festive sweetness without so much as a cavity. The Candy Corn Shower Gel is actually a 3-in-1 high-foaming cleanser that can be used as shampoo, body wash, and even bubble bath. It smells so much like the real thing, your sweet tooth will either be totally satiated by the end of your shower, or seriously tempting you to raid your sister's hard-earned trick-or-treating loot.

Get Beachy Waves And Sun-Safe Locks With Summer's Must-Have Hair Products

image
While your carefree summer attitude may be easy and breezy, your unruly sun-stroked hair may be whistling a different tune (if hair could whistle, of course). The cloudless skies, high temperatures, and overall perfect beach weather unfortunately also brings harmful UV rays, frizzing humidity, and fried follicles... not to mention heat-induced laziness that'll have you feeling "blah" towards your regular hairdo but not motivated enough to put an hour's worth of effort into your style. The solution? Summer's best sun-fighting hair products, of course, from hydrating heat-screening serum to sea salt spray for effortlessly perfect beachy waves. If your hair's super hopeless, you can try them all and collect an entire arsenal of summer haircare... or just tackle your hair's heat woes one at a time and check out the slideshow for the best summer coif pick-me-ups, protectants, and detoxes!

Beauty Products For A Bikini-Ready Bod

image
It's officially summer, no matter what the tricky weather throws our way to try and convince us otherwise. For the past few months you've been counting calories and spending countless hours at the gym, sweating buckets on the elliptical with your iPod blaring motivational up-tempo tunes from summers past into your eardrums. As a result, you may be bikini-ready when it comes to abdominal muscle tone and slenderized thighs (or as ready as you'll ever be!), but somehow you just don't drip overflowing confidence every time you model that brand-new bandeau in your full-length mirror. Don't fret -- we've got a bunch of quick beauty fixes to add the finishing touches to your hard-earned bod that will have you strutting your stuff on the boardwalk in no time! A Bliss bikini trimmer will rid you of unsightly fuzz and Too Faced Tanning Bed in a Tube will get you a head-start on that summer glow while firming skin in the process! Check the slideshow for more body beauty boosts!

Necessary Luxuries: Beauty Products Worth the Bank!

image
These days, more than ever, it's important to be smart with your hard-earned money. Frankly, it's rather unfashionable to go drop serious dough at Barney's and walk out with several thousand dollars of clothing that won't be in style next season. However, when it comes to beauty products, some investments are worth it. Of course, keeping your face, hair and nails well-coiffed never goes out of style. I've compiled some of my favorite pricier beauty products for your investment consideration. At the top of my list is Chanel's Precision Gommage Microperle Eclat, which is a finely beaded exfoliating gel that leaves your face smooth and smelling like roses. What's more, if you use just a dollop once or twice a week, the $45 tube can last you a year. As long as we're talking Chanel, have you tried their Nail Vernis colors? I know $23 seems like a lot for nail polish, but it goes on smooth and lasts a long time, with a nice shiny finish. One of my daily favorites is Philosophy's Hope in a Jar Moisturizer, which is an extremely lightweight, oil-free, hydrating moisturizer. Ranging from $15 for half an ounce to $60 for four ounces, it ain't cheap, but let's just say seeing is believing with that product. Check out my slideshow for other necessary beauty luxuries!

Six Ways To Make Your Beauty Routine More Eco-Friendly

image
Love the planet? Having spent centuries of using and abusing Mother Earth, it's time for humans to start rethinking their normal daily routines. We know it's important to conserve, but so is being beautiful! Start your day off on the right foot by being Earth-conscious throughout your morning prep and it won't only be the planet wanting to thank you for your thoughtfulness! With these helpful tips, you can be the bio-vixen this planet needs and still turn as many heads as you would if you were to get all gussied up the old fashioned way!


1. Good morning, sunshine! You wake up in the morning and head to the powder room. First off, preservation is key. Sometimes it can be as simple as drawing a little light into the bathroom from the windows or candles (a.k.a mood-lighting)! Morning breath's a killer, so you might want to take care of that first. All-natural toothpaste on an all-recycled toothbrush makes for an, all-in-all, eco-friendly mouth. Next, your pores will probably want in on the planet preservation action, so treat them to an organic and fresh facial wash, like this one from Nude Skincare, and if you're skipping the shower, follow it with a toxin free moisturizer, like this one from Philosophy.

Be Pretty In Pink With Fashionably Festive Valentine's Beauty Products!

image
The occurrence of the words "festive" and "beauty" in the same sentence may stir up a few painful memories of that time you went to school on St. Patrick's Day in head-to-toe green, complete with clover-colored eyeshadow and lipstick (it's okay - you sooo did not look like a leprechaun). And yeah, that time you showed up at a Halloween bash with a full-on clown face (only to find out the hard way that it wasn't a costume party) wasn't too hot either. But seriously, no matter what bad experiences you've endured and beauty faux pas you've committed in the past with occasion-coordinated makeup shades, a festive face doesn't have to be obnoxious, nightmarish, or costume-y! With the right products and tints (and the correct doses of them!) you can look great for your Valentine's Day date without resembling a page off the calendar. For one, it's vital to remember subtlety - with Philosophy's candy heart-inspired lip gloss and Sephora Valentine's chocolate-scented bath scrub and body butter, the whole world may not be able to read all your V-Day enthusiasm like a sign on your forehead, but you and the one you'll be cuddling up to will get to enjoy the celebratory scents! Also, while bright red lips and harsh fuchsia blush may set off a warning alarm in your brain, don't shy away from the right shades of pink! With the Laura Mercier First Blush Palette, you'll be surprised at how far a gentle rosy glow can go in creating a softly feminine and flirty look. For the perfect pucker-upper, take a look at Clinique's Kissable Six set of lip plumping glosses, complete with six different pink, plummy, and nude shades, so you won't have to spend hours in the store trying to pick the perfect tint! And, if you're feeling just a tad bit bold, try for a more season-suitable smokey eye in a plum-pink shade like Make Up For Ever's Plum 39 (just make sure to go nude on the lips for balance!). As long as you don't try to use all eight festively fabulous products at once, these candy-colored goods are bound to help you look cuter than Cupid... and way sexier too, I hope. Check out the slideshow for the rest of the Valentine's Day-influenced beauty sets and shades!
