Super Bowl Super Strands: A Face-Off
By all accounts, last night’s Super Bowl halftime show was epic. Madonna? Check. Givenchy couture? Check. Cameos from Nicki Minaj and MIA? Check, check. Prince’s 2007 Super Bowl performance will forever rank as our favorite, but we can admit that Madonna legitimately killed it—with one hell of a beauty look to boot. Madge’s go-to glam [...]
Botox: Officially Not Just For Wrinkles Anymore; Glee, The Fragrance?; And More

M.I.A., Above The Influence
Sadly, I missed M.I.A. at Coachella this year (I will get out to California next year; oh yes, I will), but it was near impossible to miss her at the Time 100 Gala last night. First, there was her cropped denim vest, which stood out in a sea of eveningwear (gotta maintain some rock [...]
