Bella Brand: Face Boutique
British investment banker Sarah Vorbach was in search of products she could use to teach her two daughters about skincare. Her criteria were that the products look good, smell good, feel good, do good (for the environment) and work... well.

Love It or Hate It? Kirsty Hume's Long Bangs
A lot of famous faces turned up for the opening of the new Chanel boutique in Los Angeles, and just about everyone was made up in a classic style befitting the fashion house. But model Kirsty Hume pushed things into a more rock-and-roll vibe, letting her long bangs fall into her face. Red lipstick and a shoulder tattoo just add to the look.
How Do You Use Testers?
Every beauty boutique worth its salt has product testers that you can dip into. Some people touch the containers of lip gloss and blush with their fingers, others use Q-tips to apply products to their faces, and others refuse to touch them at all. Even though I've never heard of anyone getting sick from a less-than-hygienic tester, I use Q-tips to apply samples only on the backs of my hand.
Vitamin C Skin Care Part III: Lip Balms
Today's installment of vitamin C-enhanced beauty products is lip-centric! Healthy lips are tender, soft, and smoochable—not dry, chapped and cracking. By using a vitamin C lip balm, your lips get the nourishment and hydration they need to stay healthy and supple.

Get Your Bronzing Gel On!
If you are looking for a safe and sunless deep tan, bronzing gels are one of your many options. These cool gels are tinted to give your skin a natural-looking glow. To apply, use a sponge or your fingers to blend and dab them on the same areas as you would brush on a bronzer.
Frida Kahlo Launches Makeup Collection . . . From the Afterlife!
I have, uh, grave feelings about this makeup and skincare collection. The Frida Kahlo line has launched, complete with a boutique in Staten Island. Kahlo, a Mexican painter whose work is appreciated by art historians and feminists alike, has inspired the collection of mineral makeup, body lotions, and antiaging and antiwrinkle face creams.
Chanel's New 2007 Summer Collection!
