    Wearable Neon Makeup Shades, No Rave Required

    While we've thankfully moved past that '90s flashback of fluorescent clothing and accessories, it's important to note that neons haven't been banished from the planet for good -- they've just relocated to the beauty department! I know, the idea sounds terrifying, but used with the right shades and a subtle hand, bright pops of color are an emerging makeup trend that's making feminine features stand out in a feisty, fresh and modern way. While trying to shed her goody-goody Gossip Girl stereotype and make a name for herself as her punk band's frontwoman, Taylor Momsen has been spotted flaunting neon lips and smoky eyes -- but you don't have to be a rock goddess in training to pull it off. Sticking to one feature at a time, you can go with an electric blue eyeliner to make your peepers pop, or highlight your summer tan with contrasting tangerine nails, for example. Take a look at the slideshow for some wearable neon shades!

    Right on the heels of Nude Collection, Bobbi Brown brings us another lovely new collection for fall. The Ivy League Collection focuses on shades of ivy and products for the woman on the go. There are new eye pencils and lip crayons, a new shade of her amazing gel liner, limited-edition shadows, and a new, essential makeup brush. "Pencils are back in a big way for fall," Bobbi says. "They're quick, mistake-proof and can go from subtle to bold in one easy stroke." I headed to Neiman Marcus in San Francisco to get a closer look at the collection and get a makeup lesson on how to use everything with the wonderful Katrina Rau, Education Executive for Bobbi Brown. Head on over to The Coveted to read all about it and to watch a makeup lesson.

    As a girl who is equal parts beauty junkie and film buff, I can't resist movie-based makeup products! Lipstick Queen's Chinatown Glossy Pencils aren't just clever in their inspiration, but they're smooth, sheer, and moisturizing too! With shades and package art influenced by both the company's NYC location and the mystery film by Roman Polanski, these pencils will have you channeling your inner Faye Dunaway and painting the town (and your lips) in "Mystery," "Thriller," or any of the five sheer shades in the film-inspired line. The pencils come with their own jumbo sharpener and are available for purchase at the Lipstick Queen site as well as at Barneys!


    Price: $20 each
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Lipstick Queen's Chinatown Glossy Pencils to the Hive.

    Be Pretty In Pink With Fashionably Festive Valentine's Beauty ...

    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!
