    • The Top 10 Makeup Looks Men Hate


      Click Here to See the Sexiest Men in 2010!


      The natural look has made a comeback lately, much to the pleasure of guys everywhere. But for us girls, it is sometimes harder to pull off than a done-up face. After years of bold shadows, red lips, and bright cheeks, leaving the house with a simple dewy complexion leaves us feeling, well, naked.

      Unfortunately for product-loving girls, it turns out guys are more attracted to girls that wear less makeup. According to the Daily Mail "one in five men wish their partner would tone down the slap-on while one in ten said they liked women who wore no make-up whatsoever." So you can start catching a little extra beauty sleep in the morning ladies-- and embrace your natural beauty.

      It's the middle of winter, and no one's happy about it: the temperatures outside are dropping, and our skin is going from pale to paler. During the winter, when the sun hides behind clouds for weeks at a time, staying fresh-faced can be tough, but finding the perfect sunless-tanning products can be even tougher.

      To create a faux glow in the thick of winter, pack away shimmery summer products and opt for those with a matte finish instead. We all know self-tanners and bronzers can sometimes result in an orange, streaky, and sticky mess, so here are a few of our favorites to get you through these cold and grey months.

    • These Simple Ideas Make Eco-Friendly Living a Cinch!


      Unless you've been living under a rock, it should come as no surprise that our planet is in deep trouble.

    • How to Curl Your Hair With a Flat Iron

      For most women, the flat iron is their number one frenemy. While it straightens your hair and tames unruly or frizzy curls, a flat iron can fry the ends of your hair. However, with the proper straightening (and curling) technique, you and your flat iron can finally resolve your back and forth, love/hate relationship.

      Hair stylist Kelsy Osterman of Cutler Salon demonstrates how to curl your hair with your flat iron, thus maximizing its utility without damaging your hair. Although at first the curling technique can be a little tricky, once you get the hang of it, you can make little changes to the setting technique and use different product cocktails to help diversify your look.

      Match Your Brush to Your Hair Type for Your Best Hair Yet

      When purchasing a new flat iron, Osterman recommends that you, "never pick the largest flat iron. While you may think that it will save you time, the larger flat iron won't let you get close enough to the root of your hair. A 1-inch flat
