CAN A SHOE HELP YOU BURN CALORIES?

Beauty Undercover — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:01:06 +0000

Is it possible that a new high heel reportedly helps the wearer drop a dress size in less than four weeks? The shoe has a concave sole and a unique spring action in its heel, that destabilises the wearer’s center of balance which causes the foot to rock back and forth as the weight of the body shifts in motion – like when walking on an unstable surface such as sand. As a result, muscles are forced to work harder to maintain balance, burning more calories. Hmmmm… Read more.

Short hair is all the rage these days but how do you know if you can pull it off? Harper’s Bazaar has a way to try it without cutting your locks. Try the Rachel Bilson technique. It works best with wavy tresses tucked loosely at the nape of your neck. Depending on your natural length, secure the number of inches necessary to achieve the end-result you want.

CAN YOU GO WITHOUT MASCARA?

Beauty Undercover — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:47:02 +0000

A rather disturbing makeup trend has hit the Spring runway shows! Natural-looking make-up often means switching to colors such taupes and browns, but for spring/summer 2012 the minimalistic beauty trend really does mean paring things right back. At Proenza Schouler, Missoni and Peter Pilotto, make-up artists turned down the volume by shunning mascara in favor of a pretty, bare eye look and natural lips. But can we turn away from mascara?

SWAG ALERT: MATTE POWDER FOUNDATION

Beauty Undercover — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:00:57 +0000

We are so excited about our Swag Alert today! Let’s face it finding that perfect foundation color is often tricky. With NYX Cosmetics’ Stay Matte Not Flat Powder Foundation color is never an issue — the long-lasting foundation is available in fifteen natural-looking shades which flatter a wide variety of skin tones. By applying the product with a damp sponge, maximum coverage can be achieved. For a more natural look, simply apply gently with a dry puff. To create an elegant matte finish, skin should be primed with a light moisturizer. For a slightly dewier look, however, Matte Not Flat can be applied with a powder brush as a setting powder over liquid foundation.

NYX Cosmetics is offering twenty Beauty Undercover Subscribers an opportunity to win a Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation (retail $9.50) simply by entering here. Please include your estimated color selection. To ensure that this is a perfect match, NYX will be requesting photographs from the winners. This SWAG Alert is open until Wednesday at 9pm PST.
