Illamasqua Rubber Nail Polish
We've seen caviar nails, magnetic polish, and crackle lacquer, but now, there's rubber. Continuing the textured nail polish trend comes Illamasqua's new rubberized nail polish. Available in six super bright shades ranging from hot pink to sky blue, the polish was inspired by the color-coded specialties of dominatrix boots worn by girls in 1920s Berlin. It dries completely matte and just might change the lacquer game.

Cool It: "Keep a tube of aloe vera gel in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes then squeeze out a few cool, icy drops onto your fingers and massage your under-eye area gently in both directions. The aloe acts as an anti-inflammatory and the massage helps reduce morning swelling." -Dr. David Colbert, founder of New York Dermatology

Do The Tea Trick: "Apply cold compresses using soaked, chilled tea bags, which will help shrink blood vessels fast." -Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, Co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, DC

Freida Pinto, Kristen Stewart, Lea Michele
Popular on the red carpet and the runway, braids are all the rage right now. But if the intricate crowns and conch shell-inspired designs (like those at Valentino's Spring show) are a little too complicated for you, opt for a looser, bohemian-inspired style. Girls like Freida Pinto, Kristen Stewart and Lea Michele have sported an informal side plait on the red carpet, leaving taught up-dos behind. To achieve the perfect beach-worthy braid, Isabel Guillen, stylist and braiding specialist from John Barrett's Braid Salon in New York City, suggests prepping locks with John Barrett Be Hold to combat fly-aways and frizz, and teasing your crown before starting on your braid - the extra height will help balance your face. For the perfect beachy effect, use your hands rather than a comb to smooth your strands, and pull on the edges or corners of your braid to loosen it. To finish, spray with a lightweight hairspray, such as Shu Uemura Sheer Lacquer, for a hold that will last all day long.
