When I think of mineral makeup, I usually think of foundation and powder — two products where it really makes sense to go the natural route, so as not to clog your pores and to achieve that fresh, dewy complexion. But what about your eyes and lips? If you were trying to eat natural, you probably wouldn’t enjoy a salad of organic greens and then follow it up with a microwave burrito. Following the same train of thought, it makes sense that if you’re going to go mineral, you should go all the way.

I’ve never been intimidated by a beauty product until TEMPTU came along. I’d been curious about this home airbrush makeup system for a while—I’d circle the display at my local Sephora and occasionally question a salesgirl, “So, whad’ya think of that beast?” Then, one brave day I summoned up the courage to write to the company and ask to give TEMPTU a try. A couple weeks later a silver case, the size of a large tackle box arrived at my door.

Not many things can lure me out of bed at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning, but a behind-the-scenes invitation to the Lela Rose show at New York Fashion Week? Yep, that’ll do it. And of course, I have a duty to my loyal Skinny readers to bring you the latest and greatest trends in beauty. It’s a responsibility I take very seriously, so once backstage, I made a beeline for the gaggle of models in make-up chairs and found an impressive beauty team roster: makeup by Tina Turnbow and Tarte; nails by Lippmann; hair by Ted Gibson; and skincare by Raw Essentials with Carol Alt.

This Valentine’s Day, think thin. But wait! Don’t click me closed yet! I swear this isn’t a lecture on swapping out your chocolate covered strawberries for carrot sticks. No, this is the kind of indulgence I think we can all get behind: Ivanka Trump’s fine jewelry collection.

After weeks with my eyes glued to the red carpet — hello, Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Grammys — I’m ready for a little roughhousing. Whether the Super Bowl elicits a warlike scream from you — Ohh it’s on!!! — or if this is the first you’ve heard of the big game, I’ve got a few end-of-season style ideas.

Let me start with a disclaimer: I’ve joined a gym and I’ve stocked my fridge full of veggies. So I don’t feel so bad about saying this: I think I’d like to cheat to slim down. Sure, I’m sticking to my New Year’s resolution and I’m on my way to shedding a few pounds, but I’ve always been a fan of instant gratification. That’s why I’ve rounded up my favorite body-slimming pieces. We all know about Spanx, as in the Oprah-approved undies, but now we’re moving beyond undergarments to actual clothing. Take a look at these weight-loss short cuts to help boost morale — and maybe your rear!

What’s that vibrating in your makeup bag? No need to blush. These days there’s a good chance it’s just one of your daily products and not your favorite nighttime…um… “product.” When I first saw vibrating mascara I thought to myself, ok, I can go along with this. Then we got vibrating face wash and razors, and of course our toothbrushes have been vibrating for a number of years, but never did I think the next thing to be vibrating in my beauty arsenal would be my foundation. Sure enough, Lancome released the first ever vibrating mineral makeup, the Oscillation Powerfoundation.
