Last week, when editor-in-chief Jennifer Wright and I were figuring out content for the now-current theme week, we were listing off dozens of trends that have been relegated to memory: acid washed jeans, shoulder pads, bell bottoms. In doing so, I realized all trends were objectionable. Which left it very difficult for me to write about a trend I’d like to see revived. More

Real Housewife of New York/PETA spokeswoman/diet book author/workout DVD host/margarita and shapewear impresario/Skinnygirl emperor Bethenny Frankel is launching a skincare line called (appropriately, charmingly) Skinnygirl Face & Body Solutions. The line will be affordably priced or, at least, that’s the implication of her statement, “A $150 eye cream is ridiculous and absurd.” Although I’m sure Bethenny Frankel has slathered her fair share of La Mer all over, I think the real question here is this: More

New York summers are especially hard on a girl’s face: the city air is dirty, the temperature is high, one minute it’s a sunny 90 degrees and the next it’s monsooning, which is why Juice Beauty’s Antioxidant Serum is a huge help for tired skin. The organic serum features age-defying super-boosters (like alpha lipoic acid) while staying totally free of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances and dyes, parabens, and sulfates. Since volatile weather and dirty city already give my face enough of a pummeling, I like my products to be especially gentle and natural. More
Earlier this week we shared some indispensable products for beautiful summer skin. Now we’ve collected our current favorite beauty buys, with special attention paid to humidity, sweating, and scorching sun. Check out these excellent products from high up to low down featuring NARS, La Prairie, Stila, Make Up For Ever, SK-II and many more. More
A beautiful French friend told me that she’d read a study about the beauty buying habits of American women versus French women; she said that while American women spend the majority of their money on cosmetics, French women are suckers for skincare. I’m not sure of the exact study she cited (and 68% of all statistics are made up on the spot) but it seems to me the most crucial beauty investment a women can make is in the wellbeing of her skin. As fashion and beauty writers, we at TheGloss get to test and try a spectacular array of products, but these are the ones currently taking up our shelves. All the products herein are ones we use ourselves (and love). And though some may balk at the mention of high-end indulgences from La Prairie and SK-11, we also rely on a small army of super affordable drugstore buys from Complex 15, Purpose and Cetaphil. More
Do you buy beauty products online? While we might prefer trekking to Sephora or MAC or the endless make-up counters at Bloomingdales, we have to admit that sometimes a girl just doesn’t have the time. That’s why we find ourselves buying the same products every few months from online retailers — to save on time and all that. But what happens if a favorite product gets discontinued or you just want to try something new? Here is Bloom.com to the rescue. The self-proclaimed “social beauty store” just asks you for a little info about your beauty profile and recommends top-rated products just for you. The site collects unbiased opinions of thousands of women who match your beauty profile and then shows you which products have worked best for your beauty matches. You can also just buy your favorites or write reviews of your own. Plus, members of Bloom.com typically get 10% back in BloomDollars on purchases and receive one of three BloomBoxes with each purchase where you can receive up to 12 personalized deluxe mini, trial and full size products.
We know a good idea when we see it, so we’re going to let one lucky fan of TheGloss on Facebook try out Bloom.com on us. Become a fan of TheGloss on Facebook right now, and you’ll be entered to win $200 in BloomDollars, good for any skincare, haircare or cosmetics sold at Bloom.com. More
