Create the ultimate red nail polish

It is surprisingly difficult to match an actual nail-polish color with the one you have in your head. The Nailtini approach to this is about layering so everyone can have their own custom color. First, you select what they call a "straight up color." (I chose a bold red called Bloody Mary.) You lighten or darken your "straight up color" by adding a layer of "mixer"—either Crème or Espresso. I dabbed on Espresso to deepen the Bloody Mary: too dark.

Banish dark under-eye circles with Benefit Erase Paste

When I'm sleep-deprived, the only thing that conceals my sunken, violet under eye baggage is a pair of paparazzi-proof, black-on-black, wraparound sunglasses.

Unfortunately, I can't keep them on indoors, for fear of being called "Hollywood."

What are you wearing today?

OK. Here we are again, another Friday, another big, important question: What are you guys wearing today? It's so deadly hot here that I'm in super-casual mode with a Pucci-esque printed a-line skirt that hits right above the knee, a white tank, flat brown leather sandals and a low bun. The look I'm going for today is a girl living in the late-60s who's on her honeymoon in Greece.

Your turn.

From casual to professional: Could you wear these looks at your office job?

Hi everyone. I'm Teresa, the online editorial intern, guest-blogging for Suze. I'm here for my internship in NYC all the way from San Diego, California, where everybody's style is pretty laid-back: Think Abercrombie, Hollister and the occasional ode to LC. But in the New York Glamour offices, even the interns come to work dressed to impress. I always wondered: how do they all look so fabulous--on an intern's tight budget?

Gwyneth Paltrow wins every competition that ever was

Who doesn't envy Gwyneth Paltrow? The woman has everything. Seriously, everything. And to make matters worse, she can get away with showing up at parties looking like this. The Brit papers describe her as "spotty" and "red faced" but really, don't hate on the fact that what we're seeing here is no makeup, no artifice, just pure and perfect Gwyneth.

Reduce, reuse, recycle idea for glass jars

Sadly, my time with the oh-so-delish Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm, (the $102 fancy face wash that I accidentally fell in love with) is drawing to a close. I knew it was too good to last! Still, I somehow want to keep the beautiful, thick glass jar in my bathroom--ah, memories--so I just came up with a plan to soak it in soapy water, then use it to house a much less expensive cleanser to carry with me when I travel, since at 1.7 ounces, no TSA individual is going to confiscate it and make me cry.

What to wear?

I am 26 years old and have no clue how to dress. That may sound outrageous but let me explain myself. I joined the U.S. Army back in 2000 when I turned 18. For 7 years I served my country with pride. Now, I am out and a proud mom and wife. I never had any fashion sense, but it has gotten worse...

What's the best bargain you've found this summer?

nospam@example.com (Emily Hsieh, Shop Girl, Lucky Magazine) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:46:12 -0700

Bergdorf Goodman. I first spotted them there at the end of last season, fell in love, and immediately came up with about a million different scenarios in my head for which they'd be perfect. I'd been looking for a men's-style oxford for ages though none were quite right. Adding a wedge heel—which I never would have guessed would work as well as it does—brings a sexy, feminine spin to the style, and although it's quite tall, it's also surprisingly comfortable.
