    Get Eyes That Smolder With Fall's Best Brow Tools

    Forget the complicated eyeshadow techniques and fluttering false eyelashes -- this fall, it's all about going back to beauty basics with come-hither brows. Since you may overlook doing up your eyebrows beyond your basic waxing or tweezing regime, it's easy to forget just how dramatically different your look can change with even the slightest shaping. After all, they do serve as the vital frame for your face, and this upcoming season's brow trend is bold and strong yet still distinctly feminine. While you don't need to go as far as Megan Fox with the dark dramatic arches, consider a flattering reshaping with a set of stencils and keep straying strands in place with a sleek brow gel. You'll be surprised at how much a pair of neat, bold brows can really amp up your whole face -- not just your powerful peepers! Check the slideshow for the must-have tools to add some pow to your brows!

    The Coveted Gives Us The Inside Scoop On The Dior Beauty Fall ...

    The new Dior Beauty Jazz Club Collection for fall is filled with sultry smoky greys, purples, and light pinks inspired by the jazz scene and the daring femme fatales of the twenties and thirties. I stopped by Saks San Francisco to get a makeup lesson with Dior National Makeup Artist Karen Hummel. She shared lots of insider tips and techniques that I've been incorporating into my makeup routine. I love how she played up my eyes with the greys in the Smoky Jazz Club compact ($65) and I was blown away by how long and full my lashes looked when she layered two coats of the new Diorshow Iconic Mascara ($27). It almost looked like I was wearing false lashes. I also fell head over heels for the new award-winning Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10 ($45) and Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Powder SPF 10 ($45). They do a wonderful job perfecting the complexion and feel so refreshing and cooling (even the powder). Click over to The Coveted for an in-depth review of the products and a helpful how-to video!

    Shimmering Makeup Shades For Just A Dash Of Summer Sparkle

    When it comes to summer beauty, it's all about strategically playing up certain features that pop -- and what better way to give your beauty look plenty of star power than with a touch of glitter? Now I know what you may be thinking: no, I'm not trying to make you channel Adam Lambert or force you to relive your preteen days experimenting with roll-on glitter gel and butterfly clips. Sure, shimmer isn't exactly for the wallflowers, but when applied with a modest (and steady!) hand, it's a bold beauty risk that pays off on any day of the week (not just on Halloween)! To avoid glimmer overload, stick to sparkling only one feature at a time -- whether you opt for dazzling lips or shimmery cheekbones -- and keep the rest of your face matte and minimal, for the most part. Over-doing the shine everywhere and anywhere may have you looking too much like a "Dancing With The Stars" contestant, even without the sequined salsa gown to tip you over the edge of what is considered wearable (and sane). Check the slideshow for some of my favorite glitzy products!

    Go Bold With Red Lipcolor!

    Red lip color is all the rage for fall beauty, and the range of reds covers everything from the subtle to the bright and daring. There's a lot of mileage in being bold with this look - after all, if you're going to go for red, you may as well really go for it instead of just doing it half way. Luckily, many bold reds are available in drugstore brands that won't break your budget, like L'Oreal, Almay and Cover Girl, as well as classic luxe brands that have added staying power like Dior, Nars and Chanel. This Purminerals lipstick, for example, will only set you back 15 bucks, and in a color like Madrid Matte Bright Red, there's no chance that your lips will go unnoticed.

    Hot In The Hive: Dior Addict Spinning Lip Polish

    image
    Alex Gambardella on May 29, 2009 6:27 AM PDT
    I know what you're thinking -- what's so "hot" about a regular tube of Dior lip gloss? Yeah, it's pretty... but it's also pretty expensive. What you may not be able to tell from this photo of a seemingly "regular tube of Dior lip gloss" is that the Dior Addict Lip Polish has undergone a rather unusual upgrade. In the spirit of bizarre new beauty gizmos like illuminating tweezers and vibrating mascara (which just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, in my opinion), what used to be just your average sponge swab applicator is now a spinning "magic wand." Yes, folks -- the applicator rolls as you glossify, to apparently help you channel the application techniques of expert makeup artists (you know, just in case you have some kind of wrist deformity that won't allow you to manually mimic the action on your own). For $30 a pop, even a gloss addict like myself isn't convinced that my pucker is going to look much more "pro status" from this beauty tech boost, but hey -- I guess I shouldn't knock it till I've tried it!

    Price: $29.50
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Dior Addict Spinning Lip Polish to the Hive.

    Necessary Luxuries: Beauty Products Worth the Bank!

    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!
