Beauty Byte: Debenhams Warn Against Out of Date Makeup
Careful girls! Your makeup bag might be past its prime. According to research revealed by retailer Debenhams yesterday, the average British woman's makeup bag is four years out of date, which is bad news as old products can potentially cause irritation and hazardous skin infections.
Do You Do You Hair or Your Makeup First?
After I get out of the bath or shower, I lotion up, add product to my hair and then I let it air dry a bit whilst I start on my makeup. But after talking with some friends, I've noticed that they're pretty evenly split between applying their makeup first and drying their hair first. It sure looks like Jessica Simpson is a fan of the latter.
Love It or Hate It? Zandra Rhodes' Ecclectic Makeup
English fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes has made history in London with her one-time Fullham Road shops and the opening of the Fashion and Textile Museum which she founded in 2003. She's designed for Princess Diana and has a wide UK, US and Australian following.

To Prime Or Not To Prime?
Makeup artists say it's a must, but for those of us with hectic lives and limited budgets, are eye, lip and face primers really worth it? Right now there's an influx of lash primers on the market intended to condition, thicken and promote growth. Are you getting swept up in the craze?

The range consists of four new products in the purple family (a popular colour trend this season) and was inspired by Sylvie Chantecaille, the founder of the brand. It is intended to be a fashion forward range for the chic and sophisticated, stylish city woman with gunmetal packaging and simple yet strong colours.
Which Lipstick Do You Like Most On Taylor Momsen?
Last night at the Gossip Girl inspired clothing collection launch for Anna Sui in New York City, Taylor Momsen walked the red carpet with her ultra-long hair extensions and brick red lipstick. I like a bright lip on Little J, but I feel like the pink shade on the far right is a bit more flirty and age appropriate for the sweet sixteen year old. I also think the pale gloss works, but it doesn't make her eyes pop quite like the other colours.

Not only does this year mark the 15th anniversary for Nars Cosmetics, but last Monday was the highly anticipated launch of the brand new six-item Autumn 2009 Colour Collection.

François Nars was "looking for a model who could represent the modern, independent woman, but who also had a girlish, innocence about her."
Prescriptives Autumn Collection Suits Me Just Fine
The new Well Suited Autumn 2009 Collection from Prescriptives has launched as of 15th August. Full of plums and rich browns, the inspiration for the range came from a feminine, modern take on men's tailoring. Think textures like brocades and tweeds, and combine that with earthy colours.
