Still trying to wrap your head around BB creams? (Pssst, we'll help you out. They're souped-up moisturizers that cover like a sheer foundation and treat various skin care concerns such as acne or wrinkles.) Well now, there's a whole new category of multi-tasking formulas: CC creams. Short for "Color and Care" or "Color and Correct", CC creams are essentially BB creams on steroids.

They're designed to offer more coverage than BB creams (but still go on sheer), moisturize better, and they contain hardcore anti-aging ingredients. Look out for the first CC cream to hit the Unites States this October: Olay Total Effects CC Tone Correcting Moisturizer. The tinted formula contains 2-percent N-acetyl glucosamine and 4-percent niacinimide. The duo is "highly effective at reducing the appearance of pigmentation at six and eight weeks," says Mary Johnson, a scientist for Procter & Gamble, makers of Olay.

After working at Allure for more than a year, you'd think I'd have the vanity of every girl's dreams. But to be honest with you, it stresses me out. Every morning, I rifle through 45 lipsticks to find the one I wear each day. On date night, I open 10 palettes before finding the black smoky kit-as opposed to the brown, grey, blue, purple, tan, pink, gold, neon, and pastel smoky kits (it's a sickness). I needed help, so when I met Jill Pollack, organizational expert for the Schick Intuition Simplicity Project, I turned my vanity over to her. Here are her tips for beauty junkies like me:

Make it your space. This is the one time during the day that you get to be by yourself and concentrate on feeling beautiful, Pollack says. So personalize it. Instead of stashing products in stale plastic bins, collect them in sentimental objects that you're not using. You can drop eyeshadows in your grandmother's old

Bobby pins are one of the most basic hair tools out there. They don't involve harsh chemicals, tricky fasteners or scalp-searing heat, yet they manage to keep hair in place-and they cost pennies per pin. But did you know there is a right way, and therefore a wrong way, to use a bobby pin? Over the years, I've relied on them to anchor gravity-defying pompadours and braided up-dos, but apparently I've been doing it all wrong.

I recently stumbled on a blog named Honey & Fitz that explained just how to use these common hair accessories, and I confirmed the information with a couple of trusted hairstylists. Here's the deal: make sure the grooved side of the bobby pin is facing down, against the skin. The ribbing is designed to grip hair and lock it in place, and you will capture more hair with the pin in that position. And it's true! I immediately noticed that this little trick prevents hair from

BeautySADon't settle for one fragrance for the rest of your life. Or even for a week!

I remember my mom telling me I needed to find my 'signature scent' and stick to it. And I did. Until the bottle ran dry. In 2008 it was DKNY's Original, in 2009 Clinique's Happy and in 2010 Thierry Mugler's Alien. And then I realised how bored I'd become settling for just one scent. So, out with my mom's advice, and in with mine! Now, most days I wear fragrances depending on my mood, and more particularly my day…

Crack-of-dawn flight
4am wake-up call, 7am flight. Sjoe! It's tough been a jet-setter. To wake yourself up and keep feeling fresh for a few hours, spritz on Versace's Yellow Diamond or DKNY Be Delicious. Sophisticated yet exotic and playful, these fragrances go a long way down while you're taxing down the runway.

Mid-morning brunch
Whether it's a meeting with a client or a Saturday morning with the girls, you still want to smell fresh, but maybe not as zesty. We recommend Ralph

Never hide behind a bunch of make up because that is not beauty, although it may look good it it not you true beauty. Your true beauty is everything, not any of that pink blush, and pink lipstick, it is what hies under all the fancy stuff:)

We can't all afford to have an army of pros perfecting our hair, nails and makeup before we leave the house--which is why the following tricks are a normal girl's best friends.

Here are three of Andrea's very favorite look-expensive tips.

1. To get expensive-looking skin: "The same four ingredients celeb derms recommend are there for the taking on the drugstore shelf," Andrea says. "Think 'RAPA'. That's retinoids, antioxidants, peptides and alpha-hydroxy-acids. RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks ($9.99 at Ulta) are one great low-cost skin secret. They're like a professional peel in a
