Clinique All About Eyes Serum
Fourth of July weekend brings with it late nights, plenty of booze, and balmy temps. We plan to look fresh the whole way through with this depuffing serum. The metal ball applicator rolls under your eyes, erasing all traces of how late you stayed up and how bad you probably feel (damn that last mojito) with a combination of caffeine and antioxidants. Stick it in the fridge for extra chilly...

Men in Short Shorts: Yay or Nay?
It’s summer, and that means two things: Legs. Our editors sound off on whether the short-shorts trend is just for the fairer sex or if men can get in on the action, too. Yay: Men generally have more shapely legs than women (and less cellulite). Let’s see them. Nay: Two words: leg hair. The fewer we have to see, the better. Yay: Thighs that are full of power and class should not be hidden....

True Blood Recap: Who's the Fairiest of Them All?
Sookie has landed in a fairy world that looks like a high school set of A Midsummer Night’s Dream where — wait for it — there’s glowing, apple-like fruit. Luckily, the ever-so-astute Miss Sookie catches on to the Disney lameness that surrounds her as she chats with her long-lost grandfather. The cheesy façade turns into a bleak desert, and she narrowly escapes the wicked fairy dame by jumping...

Book Review: Unlikely Brothers
Once in a while a book comes along that makes us feel bad about ourselves. Unlikely Brothers is one of those books. While we were busy digging coins out of the sorority house sofa so that we could go to nickel beer night for free, John Prendergast was working for peace and human rights in Africa. He was also mentoring underprivileged boys — in particular Michael Mattocks and his younger...

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy
We’ve been fans of YSL’s sweet-scented lipsticks for years, so you can imagine our excitement when this gloss/balm mixture showed up on our desks. It came along to a Florida wedding, where the bridesmaids couldn’t get enough of it on the beach and at the celebration. Throw it in your bag for a weekend getaway and it’s all you need.

Faux Tan by Bare Escentuals
When Bare Escentuals’s Faux Tan arrived in our office, we put it to the ultimate test on one of our pastiest staffers (let’s just say her skin has reflective properties it is so pale). The almond scented formula – which seemed scarily dark at first – left her with the perfect golden glow in lieu of the anticipated orange. And the velvety brush buffed away every last streak.
