Lady Gaga: “The Secret To Good Skin Is Lots Of Orgasms”
We already knew that Lady Gaga had some pretty freaky affectations habits when it came to beauty (she promises that her forthcoming signature scent will smell like “blood and semen”). Regardless of whether or not anything Gaga says or does is rooted in truth, she does know how to get headlines. Like when she was recently asked about her skincare routine. More »

Video: Wedding-Perfect Skin In Just 4 Steps
We’re big fans of Birchbox, a startup that sends women deliveries of high-end beauty samples every month. (Makeup in the mail? Yes, please!). In addition to their monthly subscription service, they also have an online shop and info-packed magazine, blog, and YouTube channel. We like their helpful videos so much that we’ll be featuring one here on TheGloss each week.
Even though it’s October, you’d think it was June at Birchbox HQ because all we can talk about is weddings. No, we don’t have an unusually high number of engaged gals on staff (though there are a few) — we just launched our limited edition Here Comes The Bride box, packed full of lifestyle and beauty treats. Of course, any bride-to-be has a lot on her to-do list, but one necessity is having gorgeous, luminous skin on your big day. Not sure how to get glowy without looking greasy? Watch our video to see makeup artist Nam Vo demonstrate how to get the dewy skin look. More »

These five tips will help you on your way toward recovery. More »

Bring Back The Trend: Parasols
Last week, when editor-in-chief Jennifer Wright and I were figuring out content for the now-current theme week, we were listing off dozens of trends that have been relegated to memory: acid washed jeans, shoulder pads, bell bottoms. In doing so, I realized all trends were objectionable. Which left it very difficult for me to write about a trend I’d like to see revived. More »

Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel to Introduce Skin Care Line With Adorable Name
Real Housewife of New York/PETA spokeswoman/diet book author/workout DVD host/margarita and shapewear impresario/Skinnygirl emperor Bethenny Frankel is launching a skincare line called (appropriately, charmingly) Skinnygirl Face & Body Solutions. The line will be affordably priced or, at least, that’s the implication of her statement, “A $150 eye cream is ridiculous and absurd.” Although I’m sure Bethenny Frankel has slathered her fair share of La Mer all over, I think the real question here is this: More »

Product We Love: Juice Beauty’s Antioxidant Serum
New York summers are especially hard on a girl’s face: the city air is dirty, the temperature is high, one minute it’s a sunny 90 degrees and the next it’s monsooning, which is why Juice Beauty’s Antioxidant Serum is a huge help for tired skin. The organic serum features age-defying super-boosters (like alpha lipoic acid) while staying totally free of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances and dyes, parabens, and sulfates. Since volatile weather and dirty city already give my face enough of a pummeling, I like my products to be especially gentle and natural. More »
