Shu Uemura Fall Mode Makeup: Instinct

Shu Uemura Fall 2008: Instinct

The latest fall collection to hit counters is the Shu Uemura Fall Mode Makeup Collection: Instinct .

"Staying true to shu uemura’s heritage of innovative and conceptual design, each item is encased within palettes of silver, gold and black motifs, expressing the modernism and elegance of the collection’s femininity."

We’re thinking the limited edition Luring Powder in Rose will be our favorite from this collection, but Mystifier a limited edition duo eye shadow with shades of green black and brownish bronze is close on its heels.

Jennifer Aniston’s Sexy Hairstyles

See this celebrity’s coveted haircut straight, wavy and (gasp!) dreaded

Since the end of "Friends" (and Brad Pitt), Jennifer Aniston has mostly strayed from the spotlight (except for a few shots of her and John Mayer). But the fanaticism over her haircut continues. We managed to snag photos of her latest hairstyles, including a shot of her on the set of "Marley & Me." Check out her looks, from stick-straight (thanks in part to a Sedu flatiron) to soft and wavy. …Read more at Total Beauty

Manicure/Pedicure by OPI

If I can find time on the weekend, we like to give myself a mani/pedi.

Over the years, I’ve realized that I prefer home mani/pedis to any I’ve had at a salon—it’s just so much better to decompress on the couch with my favorite polish while catching up on episodes of The Girls Next Door .

These home treatments also guarantee that my nails are shaped the way I like them (short and square with rounded corners) and my polish covers the entire nail (all the way to the edges).

Of course I still like to be pampered at the salon but more likely than not, I end up walking away disappointed in one way or another.

To enhance this at-home ritual I try to make it as salon-like and relaxing as possible with scrubs and massage lotions. One of my favorites, OPI Manicure/Pedicure, is now available in two new flavors: Tropical Citrus and Cucumber.

Cucumber has a twist of pineapple and is my absolute favorite—so refreshing!

OPI Manicure/Pedicure scrubs and lotions are available online at OPI.com .

Tom Ford White Patchouli

"Opens energetically sparkling notes of bergamot blended with delicate white peony and spicy coriander accents make an instant play for attention.

The alluring and modern heart unfolds in sequence: rich rose absolute, carnal night blooming jasmine, and the stimulating ambrette seed.

Precious patchouli orpur infuses the finish with exotic depth. Its stimulating sensual pull is enriched by a medley of blonde woods and the soft eastern aroma of incense."

Tom Ford White Patchouli will be available beginning September 2008.
