That's Hilary Rhoda in the ad and how much does she make you want to paint the entire expanse of your eyelids navy blue—even though as recently as two years ago blue eyeshadow was still being tossed around as a major Beauty Don't?

I know it must be applied in a light and careful manner, but I'm still having problems. The few times I've been able to apply it correctly, it ends up balling/pilling off when I attempt to apply my face powder. Any tips on how to avoid this? I'd rather use a physical sunscreen vs. a chemical one. Thanks! Here's (an edited version of) my advice: ]]> http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/28/reader-question-how-do-i-stop-my-sunscreen-or-any-other-skin-product-from-balling-up-and-pilling-on-my-face/feed/ 14 http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/27/sometimes-a-beauty-gadget-comes-along-that-changes-your-life-like-this-one/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sometimes-a-beauty-gadget-comes-along-that-changes-your-life-like-this-one http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/27/sometimes-a-beauty-gadget-comes-along-that-changes-your-life-like-this-one/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:19:21 +0000 Michelle http://beautyeditor.ca/?p=11456 Epilady? It was the original epilator—a type of hair removal gadget that looks like an electric shaver, but actually yanks out hair from the roots. Ouchie! I never had the real deal, but when I lived in Australia a few years ago, the Emjoi Gently, which was basically the same thing, was all the rage with the 'Stralyans. And... it sucked. I bought it to use on my legs, but it was just useless at covering any significant surface area. And because it was slower than molasses in January, it HURT like you wouldn't believe. But that was a long time ago. Turns out, they're making epilators A LOT BETTER these days.]]> http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/27/sometimes-a-beauty-gadget-comes-along-that-changes-your-life-like-this-one/feed/ 12 http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/27/what-do-you-think-of-scarjos-new-haircut/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-do-you-think-of-scarjos-new-haircut http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/07/27/what-do-you-think-of-scarjos-new-haircut/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:34:42 +0000 Michelle http://beautyeditor.ca/?p=11441 et al) have this cut.

Now Scarlett Johansson—known more for putting forth a bombshell beauty and fashion vibe—has succumbed to the trend. I don't know about this, Scarlett. I just don't know.

If not, the lowdown is this: CND claims that Shellac will give you up to 14 or more days of gloriously chip-free wear, thanks to a revolutionary new formula that gets painted on just like a regular polish. Oh, and it FEELS like you're wearing a regular polish too—in case you have visions of this turning your nails into super-stiff, fake-looking acrylic numbers. Nein.
