Is the Multicolored Nail Polish Look Still Trendy? 2011-07-01 10:20:00

Beyoncé Knowles is known for being a trendmaker, and that's exactly why we'll likely be seeing big spiral curls on the heads of many in no time. But one trend that's been around for a while now that Beyoncé is still showing a penchant for is the one-nail-painted-another-color trend, and with good reason.

Which Hair Length Do You Prefer on Nicole Richie?

Over the years, Nicole Richie has experimented with different hair colors and lengths (who can forget those ultralong extensions?). She even started a stylish surge of wispy blond bobs. At an event in Los Angeles last night, Nicole showed off a different look, wearing beachy-cool, chest-length waves — a sure sign that she may be letting her golden locks grow out for the new season. (Or perhaps Read more

Could the Color of a Beauty Product Prevent You From Using It?

The other day I tried an amazing salt soak, but its yellowish coloring floating around in the tub resembled something not quite as nice, if you catch my drift. And then there's the facial serum I recently used that looks a little too much like something you'd likely call your doctor about if it originated from your body. But a product's color and texture is something I can definitely get past Read more

What's Your Favorite Spa Treatment?

When I put up the cash for a spa treatment, facials are by far my favorite service, but various other friends are die hards for lymphatic drainage massages, seaweed wraps, and blue light therapy. Going to the spa is a real luxury, so the service you choose says something about what you value when you get pampered. I like to feel better about my often-bothersome skin, so it makes sense that I Read more

Tennessee Dentists Want to Inject Botox

This week, Tennessee becomes the latest state to allow some oral surgeons to perform Botox injections. Right now, they're doing so to alleviate pain for patients who suffer from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), but some dentists are seeking a license to use Botox overall.

Do You Leave the House Without Makeup On?

According to a new survey by UK chain Superdrug, one out of three British women won't leave the house without applying makeup first. We just did our own Team Bella survey, and only one of us leaves the house without putting some makeup on. (The other two will skip makeup, but won't go outside without wearing sunscreen.) Personally, I like having concealer and tinted moisturizer as options, but Read more

How Far Would You Travel to Get a Beauty Service?

The other day I was watching a video in which a British woman said she travels 50 miles to get her eyebrows done. That brow specialist must be truly amazing. This got me to thinking about how far (or long) I'd travel for the perfect cut, color, or spa treatment. It turns out, I'm not all that willing — I get my hair done about two minutes from the office. However, I know more than one West Read more

There are plenty more, as well, with Read more
