I like to think of every new year as a new notebook filled with blank pages just waiting for us to jot down new adventures, accomplishments, and milestones.
Sure, there were a lot of beauty trends in 2017 — from the oddball ones (wavy eyebrows and fake freckles, anyone?) to the unsurprising (wine-stained lips, architectural eyeliner, and Twiggy lashes) — but the ten phenomena listed here not only captured our collective attention, but they held our interest and kept us talking (and, in some cases, swooning).
Ahhh, procrastination…
You don’t have to pass through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest and the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops to find the perfect holiday gift.
Yes, Christmas Eve is just 10 days away, but never fear — these fun gift ideas are just calling for you to wrap them up, tuck them inside a fuzzy stocking, or place them gingerly in a festive gift bag.
From New Year’s Eve bashes to office holiday parties and family get-togethers, ’tis the season to be jolly — and to look like a million bucks while decking the halls and rockin’ around the Christmas tree. And, with the TV Critics Awards and the Golden Globes approaching in January of 2018, it’s the perfect time to tap into our own inner Hollywood starlet and learn some beauty tricks that will help us exude glamour and poise.
Kermit, darlin’, in this day and age, it really is that easy being green — all while looking as fabulous and polished as your beloved Miss Piggy.
Anyone who knows me is well aware that I turn into Buddy the Elf (albeit a more fashionable version of the character) around this time of year, jumping up and down giddily at the sight of all the garlands, wreaths, string lights, and Santa hats.
Back in 1991, a 16-year-old boy who bore a slight resemblance to Ricky Martin took his wide-eyed little sister to the movies to watch Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It was the ultimate treat for his baby sis, who was six years younger and thought of her older brother as the epitome of coolness, a Zack Morris type worthy of his own Saved By The Bell-esque show.
New lipsticks, shampoos, facial cleansers, and beauty gadgets are released on a near-daily basis, but how many of these have really wowed us with truly innovative ingredients based on the latest scientific findings or awed us with their cutting-edge design and professional-grade results?
