The Latisse Diaries: A Long-Overdue Update
A few months back, I started using Latisse, the drug approved to make your eyelashes longer and thicker. I reported on it for a few weeks, but then dropped off — for which I apologize — and later quit using it. Why did I go through all the trouble of going to my dermatologist, spending hundreds of dollars on the product, and reporting on it to then just quit?
Do You Like Makeup With Good Vibes?
No, not that kind of vibrator. The vibes I'm talking about are the ones in a slew of beauty products. Vibrating mascara is all over the place, vibrating face brushes and scrubbers are in drugstores and at Sephora, and now Lancome has come out with "micro-vibrating" Oscillation Powerfoundation ($48, review here).

The time has come for me to unveil the most popular beauty products of the past ten years. After much brainstorming and research, I'm proud to announce this fun list of coveted "it" items that had the beauty world buzzing throughout the decade. Some are my personal favourites that I still use today, whilst others turned out to be more of a passing phase than anything else.
The Votes Are In: Best Mascara Is . . .
Mascara is always a hotly contested category, and this year, although there were a lot of popular choices, Cover Girl cleaned up nicely. The brand's LashBlast has become a drugstore favorite, thanks in part to its recently launched lengthening formula. We wholeheartedly agree with your choice, by the way.

Reader Review of the Day: Revlon DoubleTwist Volumizing Mascara
Sometimes the hot new thing isn't so hot, as is apparently the case with Revlon DoubleTwist Volumizing Mascara ($9). Reader mariacall had a bad experience with the stuff, and says:
"I saw the commercials and magazine ads for this and rushed out to get it, because I thought it would work really well. I bought it in the Blackened Brown shade.
Jemma Kidd Has Easy Eye Makeup Basics
When it comes to applying your makeup, what area do you find to be the trickiest? If you're like me, it's all about the eye area. While I love trying trendy shades and techniques, sometimes I just want a quick and easy routine.
Prevent Mascara From Smudging With These Easy Tips
We've all had times when we've woken up after a particularly fun night, when the raccoon look is in full effect. Smudgy mascara happens, and unless you're intentionally applying face paint under your eyes to shield out the sun during your Saturday morning flag football games, I don't know many people who appreciate mascara gone south. But with a few simple tips, you can keep those product slips at bay.
Reader Review of the Day: Shu Uemura Fiber Xtension Lengthening Mascara
I really like fiber mascaras, because they don't smudge and come off so nicely, so I was interested to see what people would have to say about Shu Uemura Fiber Xtension Lengthening Mascara ($23). Reader Georgia S, though, isn't so much, and she has some observations about the product's hypoallergenic claims, too, saying:
This might be a great product if you don't have sensitive eyes, or if you don't wear contact lenses like I do. I have another Shu mascara that I adore, but this is just a mess on me.
Reader Review of the Day: MAC Zoom Lash Mascara
