How many of us wake up in the morning with dark circles?! And covering them up can be a pain! Unfortunately, lack of sleep isn’t always the cause and getting more sleep isn’t always the solution. According to Allure Magazine’s beauty expert, did you know,

Blue circles are typically caused by blood pooling under the eyes.

Yellow or brown circles are caused by sun-induced buildup of melanin.

Watch the video Beauty 101: Dark Circles for how to’s that will help not only conceal dark circles but treat them as well. Really useful!

I love the name of this product because it just blatantly says it! No sugar coating with a play on words and no high-end salon beauty lingo, just exactly what we want if we want it!

This product by Rodial will be launching next June. I know it’s seems far away, but I found this all too interesting not to share with you. If you’re afraid to go under the knife, or simply don’t have the money for breast augmentation, here’s a way to enhance those “lovelies” without having to do so.

Next June, Rodial will introduce a new and revolutionary product: boob job. Boob job works with the natural fat cells. As the fat cells move around the body after eating, boob job “blocks” the fat into the area where the product has been applied, so the bust and décolleté areas. You will see a gradual increase in cup size within 56 days as well as gaining an instant lifting and firming effect.

Cost: $175.00, 125ml

Launching in Henri Bendel, Studio at Fred Segal and www.rodial.co.uk June 2008. Mark your calendars!

Sometimes I really don’t want to bother with my hair all that much. I want to wash and go.

Admittedly, many times I’m forced to wash and go because I’m running so characteristically late. Chasing behind the clock is my trademark.

But if I’m just jumping out to a movie or over to a friends house, I don’t feel the need to bust out the hairdryer, fancy paste and finishing spray (I’m serious about hair). There are times I just want to be easy, breezy beautiful. As a guy, I have the option of just keeping it really super short, but I like it to be just long enough to play with it. So, I toggle between ultimate going-out hair and casual.

Most gels and pomades leave my hair looking wet for the rest of the day/night. I used to like that look back in the 80s. My mom did not. She was constantly telling me to brush the product out of my hair.

Redken for Men Get Groomed Finishing Cream allows my hair to dry while maintaining a light control for a clean, finished look. Mom approved!

Cost: $11.65

It’s been awhile since I’ve been blond. Summer is just around the corner and I’m kind of looking forward to maybe getting some highlights, just brushed on the tips so I get a nice sun-kissed look. It will go great with my fake tan.

For color treated hair, I know a secret. The full name of this product is Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Original Conditioning Shampoo for Gray, White, Highlighted and Light Blonde Tinted Hair. That’s a long name. I think “Shimmer Lights” is the key phrase to remember, because if you lighten your hair that what this product does, make the light parts shimmer. Really great for keeping color true.

I hate it when my highlights go brassy.

Back in the day, you could only find this kind of thing at a beauty supply store (not retail). That’s why I love the internet!

Oh, by the way, it’s a very thick, deep purple liquid that lathers up in a shade of lavender. Don’t let that freak you out. Leave on for about 5 minutes, comb through and then rinse completely.

Cost: $11.49

Most of us know Stella McCartney as a hugely popular fashion designer and fierce protector of animals. With Stella’s new line at Sephora called, “Care” she brings together her love of organic, all natural products, that are of course not tested on animals, along with her love of top quality design. I took a look at Sephora’s website and went through the “Care’s” product information along with ingredients list and all of it looks top notch and like something I would love to own. The only downside is the price, but if your an all natural, organic eating vegetarian that demands quality, I think this is the line for you. Sometimes it’s true, you get what you pay for.

For those of you that are concerned with the environment all of Stella’s products are %100 organic, using only all natural ingredients and they have a recycling program set up. The packaging and boxes are made with recyclable material, but that’s not all. She has a system set up so you can send back your empty bottles and packaging to the “Care” company and they’ll take care of it for you. To me this sounds like a wonderful opportunity to keep your self looking great and still maintain your “green” lifestyle.

Cost: Cleanser $35, Toning Floral Water $35, and 5 Benefits Moisturizing Fluid $76.00.
