    • Do Weird Beauty Quick Fixes Work? We Ask a Derm

      You have two hours before a big night and you notice a huge pimple on your face. What do you do? If your first instinct is to rummage through your medicine cabinet in search of a quick fix, you're not alone. According to Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, consulting dermatologist for L'Oreal Paris, the DIY response to a skin state-of-emergency is quite common.

      "Late at night, patients may Google 'What to do with a pimple,' or start picking and squeezing and experimenting with potions when the derm office is closed," she says. But are any of these unorthodox remedies really working to solve your beauty qualms? Here, Dr. Gerstner gives us the verdict.

      Monistat 7 for Hair Growth
      We're not sure how one discovers that yeast infection cream could help hair growth, but this eyebrow-raising trick has gotten a bit of buzz online. Some people claim to have added a half-inch of length by dousing their scalps with a mixture of Monistat 7 and various hair oils. The theory? The anti-fungal agent

    • Demi Lovato Did What?! to Her Hair?

      The X Factor judge has tried every hair color under the sun, but what really surprised us about her latest makeover is how good it looks! The singer Tweeted a picture of her new style with the caption, "In Seattle, rocking a flannel and listening to Nirvana.... #90sgrunge"

      What we possibly love even more than her hair color is the bold makeup she paired with it. The dark plum lips and black eyebrows are definitely putting us in the mood for Fall fashion and beauty.

    • Hot or Weird: Glow-In-The-Dark Underwear

      Whenever we read "What Men Really Think" magazine articles, there is always one man who says that he loves when a woman isn't embarrassed to get down and dirty in the bedroom with the lights on. To him, there is nothing more confident that a woman unafraid of showing her imperfections (or lack of). We can only imagine how these men would feel about glow-in-the-dark underwear. But does that exude confidence or a "look at me, look at me" mentality?

      British designer Henry Holland, who is appearing on Rihanna's new Sky Living show Styled to Rock, created a glow-in-the-dark underwear collection, full of bright and loud colors, that is "to be seen."

      "I wanted our first full underwear collection to be loud and proud," the designer told Vogue UK. "The neon adds a great flash of color when worn to be seen with low-cut summer pieces, and it also glows in the dark - what more could you want?"

      Aside from her quirky sense of humor, Kate Hudson is known for her natural beach waves. But when heading into fall, she transitions with more structured waves (see left). To recreate, apply ashine serum, such as Phyto 'Phytolisse' Ultra-Shine Smoothing Serum No Color ($30, Beauty.com), throughout strands and use a 1-inch curling iron for tight ringlets. Brush curls out with a bristle brush and then run through your fingertips for that tousled look.

      We've all picked out beauty duds before-the too-dark lipstick, the funky fragrance. You win some, you lose some, right? But there are few ways you can increase your chances of scoring the perfect product-even when you can't try it on. Whether you're ordering online, shopping shrink-wrapped drugstore packages or merely skeeved out by all those germy testers, here's how to make (almost) every purchase a win.

      Learn to use color like the pros do, and you'll never again be stuck with a shoddy shade. As makeup artist Sonia Kashuk points out, there are myriad ways to adjust a lip color you're not loving, such as dabbing on too-dark colors with fingers to make them sheer, or combining products to tweak a hue. "If a color is really blue, use a brown-based lip pencil to help neutralize it," Kashuk advises. "If you want more vibrancy, use a hotter pink pencil underneath." Glosses can also help

    • Do News Anchors Wear Too Much Makeup?

      Fox News female anchorsFox News female anchors
      Fox News Channel personalities Shannon Bream, Megyn Kelly, Kimberly Guilfoyle favor a glamorous look.

      Why do women on Fox News wear more makeup than their cable TV peers? An article in this month's Atlantic examining the signature "Fox glam" look presents a few theories. Maybe it's because bright colors look better in HD, network management prefers it or the channel is pandering to conservative male viewers, the piece speculates.

      Related article: Could You Be Fired for Wearing Too Much Makeup?

      But the most intriguing idea? The network's heavily embellished talking heads are a bid for female viewers, who make up the majority of cable news' audience. "Women also like to look at pretty women," the article's author points out before offering this quote from one female viewer (a makeup artist herself):

      "I have to say: I don't really enjoy the news they broadcast, but I am entranced by Megyn Kelly's holographic lip gloss," Meli Pennington, the makeup

    • Nicole Kidman Looks Smoking Hot, Unrecognizable in V

      Nice movie stars don't put their bare butts on magazine covers. But Nicole Kidman isn't playing nice anymore: Her new Mario Testino-shot spread for V magazine's travel issue is a far cry from her polished red carpet style.

      Elisabeth Moss Did What?! To Her Hair?

      The 45-year-old actress has been heading in an edgier direction lately. In her new film The Paperboy (by Precious director Lee Daniels), she plays a woman who writes letters to dozens of prison inmates before choosing one (John Cusack) as the man she wants to marry. (The film also features a beach scene that has Kidman's character urinating all over Zac Efron after he gets stung by a school of jellyfish--yeah.) We're hoping this means we can look forward to some crazy premiere outfits--maybe something in black patent leather?

      While she describes her color on Twitter as "Louis Vuitton brown," we see it more as a warm caramel hue. She does have one bold blonde streak on the side, but that's the only Gaga-like detail we see. Gone are the elaborate hair bows and theatrical updos.

      Do you think this tame look is here to stay, or will we be seeing meat-laden hairbands soon enough?

      When we think of ombré done right on a brunette, we think of Rachel. Whether she has caramel tips or goes with her natural brown, Hart of Dixie's Dr. Zoe Hart proves that brunettes can be smart and fun. To replicate her perky pony, pull hair back into a pony at your crown. Then finger comb the front to mess it up a bit, and pull two pieces out in front for a makeshift center part. Spray the front with a texturizing spray, such as Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($39, Oribe.com).
