Pom, Still Wonderful
Before there was acai and green tea, pomegranate was the exotic extract that the beauty industry was touting as the next big thing for remedying all of your skincare woes. But credit for the antioxidant-packed, Mediterranean fruit’s now global appeal really goes to Korres. The Greek pharmaceutical company harnessed the local crop’s free-radical fighting abilities [...]
Korres’ Rosy Outlook
Love. Beauty. Even socialism—roses have come to symbolize a great many things over the years.

Zero + Maria Cornejo, The Cosmetics Bag
Maria Cornejo is best known for her sculptural silhouettes and a fan club that includes MObama, but she also happens to be something of a beauty buff.

Rachel Roy Signs On To Beauty.com
The only thing we like more than a (good) designer collaboration are miniature beauty products from choice brands that won’t get confiscated at airport security. I’m talking to you, JFK International—that bottle of Biologique Recherche P-50 you ripped from my grasp was almost worth staying behind for. So when Beauty.com launched a travel case with [...]
