As you may have heard, Beyoncé Knowles launched a new tumblr blog today that’s full of fabulous looks into her fabulous life. Also: hitherto private information! Here are some things I learned from it. More
Coco Austin (a.k.a. Mrs. Ice T) is a hilarious presence in the world. She has a physics-defying body and an adorable sense of humor, and she’s not afraid to show off either of them. She also seems pretty happy! So when Buzzfeed posted two Q+A’s with her, I was listening. Here are some things that I learned. More
You want to know what sucks? Puking. Seriously, the word itself is vile. There’s nothing even remotely attractive about getting sick to your stomach. And normally, you stay pretty unappealing for roughly three days afterwards, though I guess it depends on just how sick you were. Unfortunately, we don’t always have all the recuperation time we need. That’s when it’s important to think back to your sorority days and just how those lady lushes managed to look attractive even after a week-long bender. Better take notes. More
Here’s a little something about me you may never glean from reading my posts: I have acne. I’ve been told my acne is “adult acne”. Perhaps I should feel better I wasn’t told my acne is “immature”, “sophomoric”, or “could apply itself more”. More

We’re big fans of Birchbox, a startup that sends women deliveries of high-end beauty samples every month. (Makeup in the mail? Yes, please!). In addition to their monthly subscription service, they also have an online shop and info-packed magazine, blog, and YouTube channel. We like their helpful videos so much that we’ll be featuring one here on TheGloss each week.
Even though it’s October, you’d think it was June at Birchbox HQ because all we can talk about is weddings. No, we don’t have an unusually high number of engaged gals on staff (though there are a few) — we just launched our limited edition Here Comes The Bride box, packed full of lifestyle and beauty treats. Of course, any bride-to-be has a lot on her to-do list, but one necessity is having gorgeous, luminous skin on your big day. Not sure how to get glowy without looking greasy? Watch our video to see makeup artist Nam Vo demonstrate how to get the dewy skin look. More

Readers, I have a confession to make: I have never, ever put on eye makeup.
I should clarify. I love mascara and wear it a lot. But liner? Shadow? No way. I’ve had my makeup done for a TV appearance or at a makeup counter before, and loved the way that it looked. But I’ve always felt clumsy about doing my own makeup, especially when it comes to eyes. Luckily, the wonderful Amber Katz, who runs Beauty Blogging Junkie, offered to give me a tutorial. More
