Sad news for the beauty world: Estee Lauder has announced that the brand Prescriptives will be shut down by January 31, 2010. You'll still be able to buy products from the 30-year-old brand online until supplies run out.
Needless to say, we're quite devastated over at Total Beauty, and we'll be stocking up on our fave Prescriptives products as fast as we can. Check them out below, and share any of your favorite Prescriptives products in the comments.

One of the hardships (ha!) of our jobs as beauty editors is trying all the different products that come into the office. We see a ton of samples every year, so for something to stick in our minds it has to be really good.
Below is a list of such products, the ones that we can't stop talking about. Some are old standbys and others new to the scene, but one thing's for sure; they all have a permanent place on our bathroom counters (and that's saying a lot!). Plus, we figured we're always sharing what our readers think of products; it's about time we stepped up …

We've brought you quite a few lists of the best and worst products from different brands (like the best and worst Clinique, Neutrogena, MAC, Avon, the list goes on and on), and even if the brand is overall stellar, there are always a few products that don't measure up.
Until now. We were shocked to find that our picky TotalBeauty.com readers liked all (yes all) of the products from Aveeno. The lowest-rated product? A 6.8, which isn't exactly awful, right?
I guess it makes sense, I'm a big fan of their lotions and my skin isn't even that dry. But according to our readers, anyone with really dry or itchy skin should pick something up from this line -- because the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that it's worthwhile. See our list of the top products below (click on any to see why they made the list), and then click here to see what that one mediocre product was.

Do you ever feel out of the loop? I do sometimes, like at a dinner party when everyone starts raving about that movie I, uh, have never heard of, or at the nail salon when the technicians are talking away and I don't understand a word (I always think they're talking about me, am I alone in this?).
But right now, I feel pretty in the know, since I read this list of the top beauty products everyone-who's-anyone are raving about. Check out the list below, click on any of the products to see who's talking about them and why. And the next time someone mentions that hot new skin care product? Well, you'll be ahead of the game …

You know those products that everyone just loves (like these and, well, these too)? Those beauty products with tons of pros and little to no cons? Well, these aren't them.
Nope, instead of bringing you a list of the best products out there (or even the worst), we're bringing you the most intensely debated products on the market. The ones people either love or hate and simply can't understand why anyone would feel differently.
Have you tried any of them? If so, click on them to support your side. Haven't tried them? You can still check out the debates and see if any seem worth buying. (Keep in mind that they're in order of how controversial they are, not their overall rating.)

Over at TotalBeauty.com, our readers are always trying (and telling us about) the latest and greatest in beauty. How do they manage to find these brands that most of us have never even heard of? It's still a mystery to me, but at least we can learn from their trials.

Have you heard about the beauty brand Lumene? I don't know why, but it's a top search term on TotalBeauty.com. I mean, sure, it has some great products (like these) and you can get it at CVS, which is convenient, but it's not like it's a well-known brand like MAC (maker of these awesome products) or Neutrogena (which sells my fave bargain foundation) or something. Curious? Then check out this buying guide based on the Lumene products TotalBeauty.com readers love -- and hate. Read More »

TotalBeauty.com editors and readers have done our fair share of product bashing -- from the worst mascaras, to the skin care products and shampoos that disappointed us. Why? Because it's our duty. (And to be fair, we also shout from the rooftops about products that work miracles.)
Recently, we started a discussion about the most overrated beauty brands and products. It was hardly unanimous; in fact it practically turned into a foundation-slinging brawl. Here are the highlights (in alphabetical order): Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (80) | Blog
