Shopping Guide: The Best Holiday Beauty Sets Money Can Buy

The holidays are here! Beauty-wise, that means you can buy all sorts of fancy beauty gift sets for your friends but… let’s be honest, buying makeup as a gift seems kind of random and weird (and not dissimilar to buying them a gym membership). No matter, the real reason you’re buying this stuff is because “holiday beauty sets” is just another way of saying “all of your favorite beauty brands jammed their best and brightest into special palettes and fancy boxes at a lower price point than they would be otherwise.” In other words, it’s awesome. Here are our best bets. More »

Shopping Guide: 12 Fantastic Last Minute Gifts For The Make-Up Obsessed

The holidays are all about friends, family and… spending money like water. No matter how hard you try, you’re always astonished/horrified by the amount of money you burn this time of year. Lucky, cosmetics offer an easy out–many of the most opulent designer lipsticks, for example, hover around $40. If you plan on gifting some loved ones, here’s a guide with lots of options (in lots of universally flattering shades) but really, you should just be gifting yourself something nice before the money runs out. Good luck! More »

Would You Wear: The New True Blood-Inspired Makeup Collection From Tarte?

BO’s vampire smash True Blood collaborated with Tarte on a makeup line available exclusively through Sephora. The colors were developed by the show’s makeup artist Brigette A.
