<p>Red lips, smoky eyes (as seen at the Lanvin Spring 2010 RTW show above), and golden cheeks are three looks that will be hot this spring. Shop some of the products that will you get you there:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lancome-hypnose-drama.jpg"><img src="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lancome-hypnose-drama.jpg" alt="" title="lancome hypnose drama" width="399" height="487" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14638" /></a></p>
<p>After feeling like I&#8217;ve tried every mascara on every publication&#8217;s &#8220;must have&#8221; list, the kind lady helping me at Sephora suggested I try <strong>Lancome Hypnôse Drama</strong> and I did (I can be an easy sale sometimes&#8230;lol). Lancome&#8217;s popular mascara promises:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hypnôse Drama mascara provides high volume lashes in a single stroke. The full contact brush, with its S-shaped curve, grasps and loads lashes for a fanned out, full body fringe.</p>
<p>The texturizing complex features highly saturated waxes and intense black pigments for maximum lash volume. The triple coating system delivers a fluid and creamy application to quickly and easily build big, battable lashes.</p>
<p>Hypnôse Drama mascara won’t flake or clump.<br />
Fragrance-Free.<br />
Ophthalmologist Tested. Allergy Tested.<br />
Safe for contact lens wearers.</p></blockquote>
<p>And while I did get a lot of volume and length without any clumping with this mascara (and my lashes looked <em>fabulous</em>), I also got the same effect with <strong>Rimmel Glam&#8217; Eyes Ultra Volume High Definition Mascara</strong> which is only a fraction of Hypnôse&#8217;s price. But if spending excess money on mascara is your thing then grab a tube of Lancome Hypnôse Drama for $24.50 at Sephora. Otherwise snag a tube of Rimmel Glam&#8217; Eyes which ranges in price from $5.74 to $7.49.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><a href="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beyonce-in-feb-2010-allure.jpg"><img src="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beyonce-in-feb-2010-allure.jpg" alt="" title="beyonce in feb 2010 allure" width="443" height="600" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14444" /></a></p>
<p>Beyoncé is on this month&#8217;s issue of Allure magazine and she is giving face, body, hair, EVERYTHING! The glow of her skin is so great, I set my magazine on the floor in a dark room and had instant illumination. Banish dry, dull winter skin and snag Beyoncé&#8217;s gorgeous bronzy look with these steps:</p>
<p>1. Get rid of body hair. I know how comfy and carefree it feels to not shave your legs in the winter because you wear pants all season long, but to pull off a look like this you have to nix the Chewbacca tendencies. If you shave, try a soothing shave gel like <strong>Avon Skin So Soft Fresh &#038; Smooth Silky Stay Shave Gel</strong>.</p>
<p><center> <iframe width="148" height="254" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="display:block;" src="http://widget.shopstyle.com/widget?pid=uid6849-1077543-60&#038;look=1471903&#038;width=1&#038;height=1&#038;layouttype=0"></iframe> </center> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beyonce-in-feb-2010-allure-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beyonce-in-feb-2010-allure-2.jpg" alt="" title="beyonce in feb 2010 allure 2" width="445" height="600" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14450" /></a></p>
<p>2. Gently exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells and allow your inner glow to shine through. Exfoliators to try: <strong>LUSH Sandstone Soap</strong>, <strong>The Body Shop Africa Spa Salt Scrub</strong>, or <strong>Caress Evenly Gorgeous Body Wash</strong>.</p>
<p><center> <iframe width="424" height="254" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="display:block;" src="http://widget.shopstyle.com/widget?pid=uid6849-1077543-60&#038;look=1471897&#038;width=3&#038;height=1&#038;layouttype=0"></iframe> </center></p>
<p>3. Get the glow. Rub some bronzy lotion into your skin to get Bey&#8217;s glow. Products to try: <strong>Scott Barnes Body Bling</strong> or <strong>NARS Body Glow</strong>. If you&#8217;re on a budget, try mixing some of your bronzer with <strong>Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil</strong> for a similar look.</p>
<p><center> <iframe width="424" height="254" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="display:block;" src="http://widget.shopstyle.com/widget?pid=uid6849-1077543-60&#038;look=1471934&#038;width=3&#038;height=1&#038;layouttype=0"></iframe> </center></p>
<p>And of course to really rock this look, you need attitude. Get inspired with this throwback Beyoncé video:</p>
<p><center> <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ViwtNLUqkMY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ViwtNLUqkMY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> </center></p>

<p>I came across this gem while browsing the makeup aisles at Target. The bright colors really caught my eye (it comes in 12 shades), especially the bright fuchsia pink of shade Arresting. But what probably was more arresting was the $11.99 price tag! For just a few dollars more, you could get a MAC Lipglass! Sheesh.</p>
<p>But L&#8217;Oreal Shine Struck Liquid Lip Color is a great product. It smells like cappuccino, isn&#8217;t sticky, and is vibrant in color. I would suggest waiting for this to go on sale because $11.99 for a drugstore product makes my heart jump.</p>

<p>This past weekend really reminded me again why I don&#8217;t reach for drugstore makeup first. Often I have to visit two or three stores to find the product I want, the prices are often not much less than brands like MAC (and vary greatly from store to store&#8211;Maybelline&#8217;s Lash Stiletto was $7.99 at CVS and just $5.74 at Walmart), and to be quite frank, the foundation selection sucks. I get that many brands probably can&#8217;t spend the money on research and development to have a wider variety of foundation shades and still keep their prices low, which is why I just suck it up and spend more on foundation (ok, and everything else). Many of the brands simply give you a shade name or some generic picture to give you an idea of what you might get, but very few mention undertone. And then on top of that, you can&#8217;t test it before you buy it&#8212;and who wants to play the back and forth game of trying it out and returning it?</p>

<p><strong>Black Radiance Complexion Perfection Foundation</strong> is surely not perfect&#8211;it only comes in like four shades, but if you just so happen to be one of those four shades AND don&#8217;t require a ton of coverage, you&#8217;re in luck. Sort of. You&#8217;ll get a nice, sheer coverage that helps to even out your skin tone and minimize the appearance of imperfections (if you don&#8217;t have many to begin with). I set it with <a href="http://www.beccacosmetics.com/COMPLEXION-Powder/c3_13/p17/Fine-Loose-Finishing-Powder/product_info.html">Becca Fine Loose Finishing Powder</a> (it&#8217;s all about the high/low concept) and really liked how my skin looked. The smell is a little off though&#8212;a bit &#8220;mediciney&#8221; for my tastes. I got it for $6.87 at Walmart. Not a bad foundation given the price.</p>
