I have huge unruly eyebrows that look like caterpillars on my face and I find it hard to manage them. A fellow Beauty Chatter, Denice, and I used the Anastasia Six Item Brow Kit and suddenly, my horrid caterpillar look was gone.

Anastasia specializes in creating fabulous, perfectly shaped eyebrows.  She is known throughout Hollywood as “the definitive brow expert.” More »

Sharing a restroom with multiple people means the potty is not always going to be fresh and stink free. Air-fresheners, such as sprays, plug in’s and candles help mask the leftover aroma, but the smell is still there. These products are for before the deed for an after the deed cover up. 

Poo-Pourri is different.  It’s a wonderful mix of all natural oils that eliminate odor. Not just cover it up, but also get rid of it!  Hears how it works. 

• Shake and spay the water 4 – 6 times
• Take care of business
• Flush

The oils leave a layer on the water that traps and diffuses the odors.  No one has to know what you were up to.  For us at Beauty Chat /PlasticSurgery.com, Poo-Pourri has made the restroom a better place.

Ladies, visit the Poo-Pourri Web site and get your husbands or boyfriends a stocking stuffer that will benefit you, too. 

Take a look at all the wonderful smells, such as Heaven Scent or just for the boys, Royal Flush.

It is that time of year again and the pressure of buying is on. If you are like me and live on a tight budget as it is, or perhaps you are finding yourself still paying off last years holiday debts, don’t let holiday shopping put you in the hole. It may be time for you to be checking that list more than twice. Put yourself on a budget!

Now that I am getting older, it becomes easier to make my shopping list shorter. My friends and I usually talk ahead of time and agree that we are not doing gifts; instead, we take that money we would’ve spent and go out to a nice dinner or pamper ourselves with a massage or pedicure. The holiday time is not about who can buy you what; it is about spending time together! More »

So for those of you finding yourselves working around a pile of papers and complete clutter, I came up with a few of tips to help you keep your work-space in tact.  More »

As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, Beauty Chat and PlasticSurgery.com want to show our readers that we have had the Think Pink attitude all month long (and will continue to do so beyond the month of October!). Although there are many of us around the office who revel in all products, treatments, and procedures that are designed to enhance a woman’s outer beauty; this month, more than ever, we realize that outer beauty isn’t as important as being healthy and beautiful on the inside.

Hello all! We’re a little short on our finds this week; Friday seemed to creep up faster than usual. Below are our top blog picks for this week. Enjoy!

Inspiration: Golden Girls was a recent blog post on Trendology. Those small screen ladies may be well past middle-aged but they’ve still got it going on!

Looking for a new skincare regimen? Head over to A Watercolour Sky and read Review: Neutrogena Healthy Defense Moisturizer SPF 45 before making any purchases.

We suggest you visit Cosmetic Surgery Insider and read Breast Implants Help a Rare Heart Condition. Plastic surgery actually saved a woman’s life!

Have you been wondering what Britney was thinking in the last couple of years? Well, Bitten & Bound have a preview of the Britney Spears MTV Documentary: For the Record. Head over to find out what happened!

I’ll admit, I am a HUGE Gwen Stefani fan — today and yesterday.

And I will always have a place in my heart for the “Old Gwen.” Tweens and pop fans may not be too familiar with her days in the ska-rock band No Doubt (can’t wait for their new album!); they may be so immersed in her Harajuku aura and haute couture fashion that they may not realize how much she has grown up, trading in her steel-toe Doc Martens for Dior heels. I DO appreciate Gwen’s entrepeneurial spirit these days, though. Let’s give it to her — the only girl to rock out with all boys for over 15 years has earned her right to design a fashion line, create a fragrance, and become one of the gossip magazines’ favorite celebrity mothers to showcase.

She looks totally fierce in her new video, “Early Winter,” which is off her her 2nd solo album. Check out her makeup in the mirror scene (black turtleneck)… I love the look!

When Elana asked me to try the new NYX Black Label Compact foundation and share my experience, I was a little hesitant. I have a lifelong history of problem skin – which almost guarantees lifelong problems with foundation. At 30 years old, I still fight acne with topical prescriptions. It can be tough to find a pressed powder that provides good coverage without revving up oil production.

However, I have found NYX Cosmetics to be a step in the right direction. It’s mineral-based, chemical-free, and long-wearing with sun protection, among other standard criteria (hypoallergenic, non-irritating, etc.) – all of which is about as good as it gets for my skin type! I’m quite happy with the coverage factor, and it feels lighter than other pressed powders I’ve tried. Those interested in the total package will be impressed with the 360 degree swivel mirror and cute black lace pouch (REALLY cute). The powder is slightly fragranced, which seems odd for a cruelty-free product, but was an unexpected treat nonetheless.

The NYX Black Label Compact retails for approximately $25 (for me, it’s worth it). You can find NYX Cosmetics at a limited assortment of drugstore and beauty supply retailers in the U.S., including Longs Drug Stores, Essentials Plus, Brooks, and Duane Reade (in addition to www.NYXCosmetics.com).
