Submitted by The Organic Beauty Expert
from release
Christopher Drummond is no stranger to color-matching makeup. When he was a fashion model, makeup artists never seemed to be able to match his coloring correctly. This led to his beginning as a pro makeup artist, and eventually creating his own pro makeup line. The line is the [...]
A kitchen chopping board made from cardboard? You must be joking!
Submitted by The Organic Beauty Expert
from release
Unbelievable! Tougher than a sheet of wood and with the feel of slate, it is hard to believe this chopping board has been made from 100% compressed recycled cardboard.
This chopping board is a testament to how far technology has come, pushing the boundaries of what can be made from [...]

by Gina Rafkind
Advanced Cosmetics Technologies (ACT) was founded by two chemists who say they have developed the first and only 100% plant-based permanent hair dye. ACT is vegan–friendly and uses renewable and sustainable plant dyes that bond to the hair shaft without altering the hair’s natural pH balance. It [...]
Beauty Science Poll 43: Know Your Nails
Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
It’s time for another Beauty Science poll and this time we have a theme: Know Your Nails. (I was inspired by the Right Brain’s post last week on coconut oil and nails.) Three of these statements about nail science are true; one is a clever forgery. Can you guess which one [...]
Browsing A New Trend
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
The recent Givenchy campaign shot by Mert & Marcus shows the models with bleached out brows. Am thinking it can’t be long before The Daily Mail coerces some hapless intern into whisking off their eyebrows in exchange for a ‘My Life Without Brows’ feature. While Mert & Marcus have clearly gone [...]
Guerlain A/W 09 Russian Doll Radiant Blush

For instance, I have a baby [...]

Sandy’s search for science…I’m curious about all the different types of facial moisturizers out there – eye cream, face cream, face lotion, serum, day moisturizer, night moisturizer…etc. How different are they exactly, and which ones are truly necessary?
The Right Brain Rejoins:
Well, Sandy, here at The Beauty Brains, we may treat all [...]

Fresh-Faced :: Favorite Post-Cleansing Products
Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog
What’s the first product you apply to a freshly-cleansed face? Of course, the answer is different for everyone, depending on the day and the time. But I’m currently fixated on finding the most amazing natural products (no way that there’s just one answer to this question) to apply right after [...]
