    Using beauty products may not be the most environmentally harmful part of your daily routine (well, unless of course you're addicted to hairspray), but if you're into going the natural route for the sake of saving your skin and the planet, you're certainly not the only one! Lucky for us eco-conscious makeup mavens, some of our favorite beauty brands have jumped on the green bandwagon and made natural, organic, and eco-chic versions of their popular products. For example, Lancome's Juicy Tubes Pure are just like the old favorite, but this time with 95% natural ingredients! And Urban Decay's shadow box packs 10 of their favorite shadows into a sustainable wooden box complete with a cruelty-free eyeshadow brush. I won't be dramatic and say that a few coats of organic mascara will save the world, but hey -- every little gesture counts! Take a browse through the slideshow to see which big-name brands have gone natural!

    Pump Up Your Beauty Regime With Plum Makeup Shades

    Plum, aubergine, eggplant... what is it about the dusky purple shade that conjures up thoughts of fall? Well, whatever the reason, it's time to embrace it -- beauty trends for the upcoming autumn months are all about going plummy with your eyes, lips, and cheeks for a sultry yet sophisticated seasonal look. But before you raise an eyebrow at the thought of your grandmother's purple eyeshadow, you should know that these products are anything but retro-tacky! Update a smoky eye with a color-coordinated Stila eyeshadow quad in Montemarte, finished off with Urban Decay's Ink For Eyes in Empire. The contrasting color works wonders in bringing out the gold flecks in your eyes. And if you're all about the flushed cheeks, take your rosy glow up a notch on the color spectrum with Clinique blush in Plum Gorgeous. Scroll through the slideshow for my favorite plum products!

    Flirt Shamelessly This Season With Fall's Spiky Lashes

    I've always been a serious eyeliner girl, collecting everything from smoky kohl pencils in every color to budge-proof creme liner pots to liquid glitter liner. But my most recent beauty obsession? Spiky lashes -- either blacked-out versions of your natural lashes, or a little added help from a handy set of falsies like Kim Kardashian's. Unlike thick, showgirl-esque, llama-looking lashes that focus on heavy volume, fall's take on the lash trend gives you dramatic length without verging on unnatural. In other words, you'll have people commenting on how jealous they are of your flirty peepers instead of asking if you just walked off a Vegas stage. Take a look at the slideshow to browse some products that'll help you get your lashes long and spiky! Photo Credit: PR Photos

    Beauty.Com Partners With Zero + Cornejo Maria On An Exclusive ...

    Beauty.com is at it again with another one of their famous designer collaborations. This time around, they collaborated with the award-winning fashion label Zero + Maria Cornejo in creating a super chic travel bag stuffed with 16 deluxe hair, makeup, and skincare samples. The travel bag trio features zippered compartments in three shapes that can be carried individually or as a set. "This bag is based on the three shapes that always inspire the collection -- a circle, a square, and a triangle," says Cornejo. "When I was designing the bag, I was thinking of busy women like myself who, when they travel, need maximum flexibility. I love the idea that each separate compartment snaps apart so that you can separate your products and just grab one item and go!"


    The entire set is valued at $140 but will be yours free with any purchase of $100 or more at beauty.com/zeromariacornejo.


    So what exactly will you find in this chic travel bag?

    Wearable Neon Makeup Shades, No Rave Required

    Alex Gambardella on Aug 24, 2009 10:19 AM PDT
    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!

    Our Favorite Beauty Products... From Seventh Grade!

    Ida Hsiang on Aug 17, 2009 5:19 AM PDT
    We were randomly surfing around Hot Topic the other day (What? Shut up.) when we stumbled across perhaps the greatest cosmetic product EVER MANUFACTURED: Twilight Edward Body Shimmer. OK, we'd make fun, but we were also young once. We also had crushes on fake boys, and we also slathered ourselves with some seriously frightening beauty products. (Hey, if they'd made Holden Caulfield Coconut Body Splash, we probably would have bought a case.) Let us take you back to seventh grade, when it was cool to smell like Dippity Do, cherry air freshener and Mall.


    * White Eyeliner and Mascara
    What did white eyeliner say, exactly? I'm being medicated for pinkeye? This Liquid Papr-for-eyes look was like typo correction... for your face.


    *Urban Decay Eyeshadow
    "ARGH! I'm so full of rage! I will express it by wearing makeup colors called 'Dumpster' and 'Afterbirth'!" God, we were edgy.
