		<description><![CDATA[Try out this extremely simple, but visually stunning, traveling pointelle triangle nail art design!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes, an idea comes to you, and it turns out to be better than you ever imagined. Case in point: this nail art design. I had pitched it for a photo shoot, but instead of using dots of nail polish, I had proposed rhinestones. The idea was deep-sixed, so I decided to try it out for myself (minus the rhinestones). The idea is simple: Create a triangle of dots on each nail, but be sure the triangle&#8217;s placement &#8220;travels&#8221; from nail to nail.</p>
<p>As I was pondering my nail art design, I had received the new <strong>Kaleidoscope</strong> polish collection from <strong>Color Club</strong>, which has the most gorgeous combo of rich mega-brights, and these three hues—cobalt <strong>Bright Night</strong>, turquoise <strong>Evolution</strong> and neon coral <strong>In Theory</strong>—jumped out at me. And I couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with how the color combo worked out.</p>
<p>Here are the steps on how to get what I&#8217;m calling the &#8220;Traveling Pointelle Triangle&#8221; nail design!</p>
<p><strong>What you need:</strong></p>
<p>+ A dotting tool</p>
<p>+ Cobalt blue nail polish</p>
<p>+ Coral nail polish</p>
<p>+ Turquoise nail polish</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1a.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5144" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1a" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1a.jpg" width="600" height="580" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Polish the nail with base coat. Apply two coats of cobalt polish. Allow the nails to dry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5139" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-1.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Using a dotting tool, create a line of four dots with coral polish. You can create your line anywhere on your nail. <strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5140" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-2" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-2.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Create a second line of dots, this time with only three dots. <strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5141" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-3" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-3.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Create a line of two dots, making sure to continue the shape of a triangle. Finish your triangle&#8217;s point with a single dot.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5145" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-5" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-5.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Using turquoise polish, outline your triangle with a row of six dots. You&#8217;ll want the sixth dot to act as the &#8220;peak&#8221; or &#8220;apex&#8221; of the finished triangle. It will extend past your coral dots. (Due to how I shot this picture—and didn&#8217;t realize it—it&#8217;s hard to see the sixth dot. It&#8217;s all the way to the right of my nail.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5146" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-6" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-6.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> Complete your design by creating a line of five dots along the other edge of the triangle. Once all dots are dry, apply top coat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-Thumb.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5143" alt="Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-Thumb" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Traveling-Pointelle-Triangle-Step-Thumb.jpg" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my thumb design; again, it&#8217;s important that from nail to nail you change where you start your line so that your triangles &#8220;travel&#8221; around your nails!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! Now you try!</p>
<p><strong><em>What do you think of this design?</em></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Treatment Bar will get your hair beautiful from roots to tips. Plus: A limited edition Couture Edition Mythic Oil lends plenty of nail art inspiration!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve long been a fan of hair oils. The fact is, they can multitask like no other. For me, they are the one hair item I would take to a deserted island because they gloss, they condition, they cleanse—everything you need to look half-way decent when you&#8217;re stranded on an island alone. As such, I&#8217;ve tried countless types of hair oils, including <strong>L&#8217;Oréal Professionnnel Mythic Oil</strong>, a fragrant delight that contains a combo of grape seed and avocado oils to weightlessly nourish and defrizz hair. So when L&#8217;Oréal announced that it is now offering an in-salon <strong>Mythic Oil Treatment Bar</strong> ($25 to $35 per treatment), I just had to check it out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Mythic-Oil-Treatment-After.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Mythic-Oil-Treatment-After.jpg" alt="Mythic-Oil-Treatment-After" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p><em>(Directly after my Mythic Oil treatment)</em></p>
<p>I visited the <strong>Warren-Tricomi Salon</strong> <strong>at The Plaza Hotel NYC</strong>, where Patrick, a super-sweet hairstylist and new NYC transplant by way of Chicago, assessed my damaged hair. Being an <a title="Ombre" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/hair-raised/service-scout-super-subtle-pastel-haircolor-with-aura-friedman/" target="_blank">ombré</a> freak, my ends are in a constant state of frazzle, so they need all the help they can get. But my ends aren&#8217;t my only hair issue; as I&#8217;ve noted before, my <a title="Dry Scalp" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/hair-raised/service-scout-kerastase-fusio-dose-treatment-and-homelab/" target="_blank">scalp</a> has gone on the fritz as well, shedding an exorbitant amount of dry skin. Lucky me, this treatment addresses hair woes from roots to tips.</p>
<p>Patrick first tells me that there are two types of Mythic Oil Treatments to meet both the needs of the person&#8217;s hair, as well as their time constraints: <strong>Express</strong>, which is a five-minute service that cleans the scalp, conditions the hair and protects color; and <strong>Indulgent</strong>, which takes a lengthier 15 minutes to do all of the aforementioned functions, plus help you relax.</p>
<p>We go the Indulgent route because I am a stress ball who longs for relaxation. First, Patrick applies the <strong>Scalp Clarifying Concentrate</strong>, which feels cool and refreshing, but not all tingly like some scalp treatments do. This concentrate contains tea tree oil, which is known to help with dry, flaking scalp (just what I need!). Then he runs through my mid-lengths and ends a combination of <strong>Nourishing Concentrate</strong>, which uses rice bran oil to condition hair weightlessly, and <strong>Color Protecting Concentrate</strong>, which infuses hair with linseed oil to protect against environmental aggressors that tend to strip our hair of its vibrant color. After massaging in everything, Patrick leaves me and my hair to marinate. Fifteen minutes later, a quick rinse, conditioning mask and then stellar blow-out leaves me with sleek locks that have a renewed bounce to them. And, oh my gosh, my hair smells amazing. I find myself flicking it repeatedly as I walk around, not only to feel how silky it is, but to have the fragrance waft around me. Heaven!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Limited-Edition-Mythic-Oil.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Limited-Edition-Mythic-Oil.jpg" alt="Limited-Edition-Mythic-Oil" width="600" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>Naturally, I&#8217;m maintaining my increased shine at home with Mythic Oil, which just released a limited edition <strong>Couture Edition</strong> bottle designed by Parisian fashion designer <strong>Dilek Hanif</strong>. (The bottle even comes with a Hanif-designed bracelet!) L&#8217;Oréal Professionnel tasked me with creating nail art designs (because they know what a nail junkie I am!) inspired by Hanif&#8217;s bottle and bracelet designs; I created some tips as well as polished my fingernails using a blend of matte black and sparkling gold and rose gold.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Jennifer Aniston talks candidly about her hair disasters and triumphs, and how everyone deserves a good hair day. Plus: Confess your own hair obsessions and you could win a chance to meet Aniston and get your hair cut by her stylist!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that all women have in common: They’ve had a bad hair day…or several thousand bad hair days. Whatever the reason—a shoddy haircut, a bad run-in with dye, humidity that causes fork-in-electric-outlet-type frizz—a bad hair day can really lower a woman’s self esteem. For that very reason, women—even women who are known for their hair, like <strong>Jennifer Aniston</strong>—constantly seek potions that will banish bad hair permanently. As the co-owner of <strong>Living Proof</strong>, the former <em>Friends</em> star now finds herself in an even greater position to help women fight the good fight against bad hair. &#8220;It&#8217;s so exciting to get in there and solve all those hair problems that all women have,&#8221; she says of her roll with Living Proof.</p>
<p>In fact, Jennifer and Living Proof will be solving the hair problems of one very lucky lady with a contest revolving around the brand&#8217;s new web series, “<strong>Good Hair Day</strong>.” The series features the tress obsessions and confessions of women everywhere, plus insightful commentary from longtime mane man to Aniston (and creator of the &#8220;Rachel&#8221; haircut), <strong>Chris McMillan</strong>. Living Proof is encouraging you to share your own bad hair day obsessions, confessions and lessons (and who doesn&#8217;t have any or all of the above?) on <a title="Good Hair Day" href="https://goodhairday.livingproof.com/" target="_blank"><strong>livingproof.com/goodhairday</strong></a> for a chance to win a meet-and-greet with Jennifer <em>and</em> get a haircut from McMillan! <strong>The deadline to upload your pics and videos is May 24.</strong></p>
<p>In the meantime, I chatted with the down-to-earth actress about her monster hair moments and missteps, because, like all of us, she cops to having bad hair days.</p>
<p><strong><em>When you’re not in the stylist’s chair, what do you do to your hair?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I will blow-dry it; and I don’t always blow it completely straight because I have naturally wavy hair. But the good thing about the discovery of Living Proof products is that it makes it so much easier to handle the frizzy aspect of my hair. It’s got its kinks, and those &#8216;natural&#8217; highlights that start to grow in. (Laughs.) With rapid speed!&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>Who is your beauty inspiration?</strong></em></p>
<p>&#8220;I always love Kate Moss; she’s just classic. Giselle Bundchen—she has beautiful hair. Those two always get it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Did you ever bring a picture of a celebrity to the salon and say, &#8220;I want this?&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been that person who brought in a picture [of a celebrity] to salon. I know what that&#8217;s like, when you see a photograph of what you want; it&#8217;s your easy go-to, rather than describing it [to the stylist]. Mine was Valerie Bertinelli from <em>One Day at a Time</em>. I know exactly what she was wearing. I think it was from <em>People</em> magazine&#8230; She had that great, full Farrah Fawcett-esque hair. I didn&#8217;t come out with that—not even close.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>When was the first time you had good hair?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I should have known better; I had great hair as a kid, and my mom said, &#8216;You&#8217;re not allowed to touch your hair until you&#8217;re 13,&#8217; and she was right. The first thing I did was cut it all off, and realized, &#8216;Wow, I&#8217;ve never had it do <em>this.&#8217;</em> I learned that my hair was not long and cute, but wide and unmanageable—kind of a pain in the butt. I learned all my lessons in my younger years of what not to do.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jennifer-Aniston-and-Chris-McMillan.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jennifer-Aniston-and-Chris-McMillan.jpg" alt="Jennifer-Aniston-and-Chris-McMillan" width="600" height="583" /></a></p>
<p><em>(Jennifer and her mane man, Chris McMillan)</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Do you get the itch to change your hair drastically?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I do and then I&#8217;m talked out of it. Because somebody else knows better. I usually just get a trim.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>If you could, though, would you?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always thought about going back to brunette. But I do think it&#8217;s fun to play with hair in movies.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>People often reference the &#8220;Rachel&#8221; as you big hair moment. But do you have a favorite hair look from your past?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I loved my <em><strong>Along Came Polly</strong></em> hair. It was long and all natural, so I could let my blonde grow out. It was really dirty and whimsical; I just liked it. You always get hair in a movie that you could never get in real life. Like I had bangs in <em><strong>Marley and Me</strong></em>, but if I cut bangs on myself, they won&#8217;t look like that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you have a fantasy hair product? One that doesn&#8217;t exist yet?</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so funny you say that. I&#8217;ll be chatting about it with Living Proof. But&#8230;I can&#8217;t talk about it yet. It&#8217;s so exciting to get in there and solve all those hair problems that all women have.&#8221;</p>
<p>Check out the first two videos from the Living Proof web series, &#8220;Good Hair Day.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, nail art lovers: <a title="Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty" href="http://dermelect.com/ME-Peptide-Infused-Nail-Color-Treatments.asp#1094" target="_blank"><strong>Dermelect ME</strong></a> is hosting the final nail art challenge for a chance to win my nail polish collaboration,<strong> <a title="Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/nail-tipped/giveaway-dermelect-me-fearless-beauty-polish-collection/" target="_blank">Fearless Beauty</a></strong>, a collection of four creamy colors—<strong>Buzz-worthy</strong> yellow, <strong>Fearless</strong> cerulean, <strong>Moxie</strong> pink and <strong>Renegade</strong> jade—plus Dermelect <strong>Makeover Ridge Filler</strong> (a complete retail value of $74).</p>
<p>This time, I actually tasked myself with dreaming up the nail art design using my Fearless Beauty collection, and now <strong><em>Dermelect and I</em></strong><em><strong> want YOU</strong><strong> to put polish to nail and recreate the nail art for a chance to win!<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Welcome to the final of three Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty Nail Art Challenges! The third task: “Dash Graphic” nail art.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/INSTAGRAM-DERMELECT-NAIL-ART-CHALLENGE-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5087" title="DERMELECT-NAIL-ART-CHALLENGE-3" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/INSTAGRAM-DERMELECT-NAIL-ART-CHALLENGE-3.jpg" alt="DERMELECT-NAIL-ART-CHALLENGE-3" width="780" height="780" /></a></p>
<p><strong>First – Here’s how to enter:</strong></p>
<p>1. Recreate this “Dash Graphic” nail art look using pink, yellow, green and blue polishes. You can either recreate this nail art design EXACTLY or you can create your own design, but you must use the “repeated dash” element seen in this nail art somewhere in your design as well as the same color scheme (pink, blue, green and yellow).</p>
<p>2. Take a picture of your nail art design. LIKE <strong><a title="Dermelect Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/MyDermelect" target="_blank">Dermelect’s Facebook</a></strong> page, and upload your design to the Facebook page.</p>
<p>3. Spread the word! Reblog, Instagram, tweet or share your Facebook post with hashtag <strong>#Fearlessbeauty</strong>, and <strong>follow Dermelect</strong> on <a title="Dermelect Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/dermelect" target="_blank"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> or <a title="Dermelect Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/dermelect/pins/" target="_blank"><strong>Pinterest</strong></a>. The more ways you follow/share, the more entries you get!</p>
<p>4. Leave a comment with your uploaded picture, including details of how you shared this post (if relevant).</p>
<p>This THIRD of THREE nail art contests will run midnight Monday May 13, 2013 and ending 11:59pm Sunday May 19, 2013. Entrants must be from the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).</p>
<p>You can enter as many times as you like; however, you can only win once.</p>
<p>Winners will be announced shortly after each contest ends on FearNoBeauty.com and Dermelect’s Facebook page.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dash-Graphic-Nail-Art.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dash-Graphic-Nail-Art.jpg" alt="Dash-Graphic-Nail-Art" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><em>(Here&#8217;s the design in daylight; the colors look much truer here than in my step-by-step below. I opted to vary the color positions from nail to nail, and even changed up the way they swerve to give the look a more chaotic feel.)</em></p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Here Is How to Recreate the Look: </div>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-1.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-1.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-1" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>1. Start with a base-coated nail. Apply one coat of blue polish. Allow to dry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-2.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-2.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-2" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>2. Using a striping brush or detail brush and pink polish, and starting at the center of the nail at the cuticle area, draw a dash. Continue to draw dashes up the nail in a diagonal line, with each dash getting a little smaller. (One thing I should note about the Dermelect ME polishes: I didn&#8217;t have to go back over the dashes with a second coat of color; they were extremely vibrant on the first stroke. That&#8217;s a lot of pigment!)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-3.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-3.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-3" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>3. Using the same technique, draw a curved line of dashes using yellow polish.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-4.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-4.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Fearless-Beauty-Nail-Art-Challenge-3-Step-4" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>4. Finish your design with the same technique and green polish.</p>
<p>5. Allow all nails to dry and seal with high-shine top coat.</p>
<p><em><strong>Now, you try this design, or a version of this design, and upload your creation to <a title="Dermelect Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/MyDermelect" target="_blank">Dermelect’s Facebook</a> page, as well as Tweet and Instagram the look with the tag #FearlessBeauty, and you could be the winner of the Fearless Beauty collection plus <strong>Makeover Ridge Filler</strong>.</strong></em></p>
<p>We’re so excited to see what you come up with! Good luck!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Still a little overwhelmed with sunscreen labels? Don't be. Dermatologists believe that the new labeling requirements will take the guesswork out of choosing an effective sunscreen with the best sun protection.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember last summer, when everyone was tripping over themselves to unravel the new <a title="Demystify Sunscreen Guidelines" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/skin-saited/pro-logic-olay-demystifies-sun-care-and-sunscreen-labels/" target="_blank">U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-sanctioned sunscreen guidelines</a>? Well, hopefully by now you&#8217;ve got the jargon down pat. If you don&#8217;t, read this <a title="Demystify Sunscreen Guidelines" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/skin-saited/pro-logic-olay-demystifies-sun-care-and-sunscreen-labels/" target="_blank">sunscreen primer</a> to get you on track.</p>
<p>The good news: Dermatologists believe that the new labeling requirements will take the guesswork out of choosing an effective sunscreen with the best sun protection.</p>
<p>Sunscreen labels now are required to provide consumers with information about whether a sunscreen will protect against skin cancer in addition to sunburn. New labels will also indicate whether or not the product is water-resistant. And sunscreen isn&#8217;t the only product affected: Makeup and moisturizers containing sunscreen that meets the FDA’s testing standards also will include this new information on their labels. All sunscreen products that do not pass the new FDA testing requirements will include warning labels specifying their sun-protective limitations.</p>
<p>“Sunscreen has always been an important tool in the fight against skin cancer, and these new regulations will greatly improve the consumer’s ability to make smart decisions—at a glance—about a product’s effectiveness simply by reading the label,” says board-certified <strong>dermatologist Zoe D. Draelos, MD, FAAD</strong>, consulting professor at Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, N.C. “<strong>Everyone, regardless of skin color, can get skin cancer, which is why it is important for people to properly protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays.</strong>”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AAD-How-to-Select-a-Sunscreen-Infograph.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AAD-How-to-Select-a-Sunscreen-Infograph.jpg" alt="AAD-How-to-Select-a-Sunscreen-Infograph" width="600" height="857" /></a></p>
<p>On the label, you’ll see whether the sunscreen:</p>
<p>+ Is <strong>Broad Spectrum</strong>, which means the sunscreen protects against UVB and UVA rays and helps prevent skin cancer and sunburn.</p>
<p>+ Has a <strong>Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher</strong>. While SPF 15 is the FDA’s minimum recommendation for protection against skin cancer and sunburn, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.</p>
<p>+ Has a <strong>Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert</strong> in the Drug Facts section of the label, which means the sunscreen will only prevent sunburn and will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging.</p>
<p>+ Is <strong>Water-Resistant</strong> for up to <strong>40 minutes</strong> or <strong>80 minutes</strong>, which means the sunscreen provides protection while swimming or sweating up to the time listed on the label. (P.S.: As part of the new guidelines, sunscreen manufacturers now are banned from claiming that a sunscreen is “waterproof” or “sweat proof,” as the FDA has determined that those terms are misleading. Truth. How many times did you get an &#8220;accidental&#8221; burn because you thought your sunscreen was waterproof? Raises hand&#8230;)</p>
<p>With the new regulations, the FDA has clearly defined the testing required for a sunscreen to be labeled as “broad-spectrum.” For a sunscreen to carry the claim that it can help prevent skin cancer and early skin aging in addition to sunburn, it must offer <span style="text-decoration: underline;">both</span> broad-spectrum coverage and an SPF of 15 or higher. If not, the label will carry the Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-1.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-1.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-1" width="600" height="600" /></a></strong></p>
<p>1. Start with a base-coated nail. Apply two coats of bubble-gum pink polish. Allow to dry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-2.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-2.jpg" alt="Dermelect-Nail-Art-Challenge-Step-2" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>2. Using a large dotting tool, create your blue flowers by placing three dots of blue polish together in a triangle formation. Repeat this several times on the nail, but keep your placement random. &#8220;There should be no rhyme or reason to your placement,&#8221; says Elle. &#8220;In fact, make sure to do them as &#8216;partial&#8217; flowers on the edges of the nails so it looks even more imperfect, as though it&#8217;s a print.&#8221;</p>

<p>3. Using a small dotting tool, dot the middle of each flower with yellow polish.</p>
<p>4. Allow all nails to dry and seal with high-shine top coat.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Seeking a pillow-y, gel-like shine on your manicure, but don't want to use gel? Give easy-to-remove Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat a spin!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until a few months ago, the difference between gel nails and a regular polish job could be easily argued: Gels last longer (up to two weeks with proper care) than regular polish (which can last up to seven days, but probably has some chipping and noticeable wear). Gels also have a pillow-y, glass-like shine. That last part—the one about shine—is just something regular top coats can&#8217;t beat&#8230;until now. A new class of top coats meant to mimic the durability and heretofore unparalleled gloss of gels has arrived, and <strong>Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat</strong> is one of the best among them.</p>
<p>Backstage at the <strong>Trina Turk Fall 2013</strong> show, I chatted with <strong>celebrity nail tech Gina Eppolito</strong> about the nail design. (Side note: I didn&#8217;t know Gina by sight, and I asked someone to point her out to me. They pointed me to a woman with a black bob, who I sat and interviewed about the nail look for a good four minutes. She seemed not to know what the hell I was talking about, but she played along. Guess who it was? <em>TRINA</em> Turk. Embarrassing&#8230;but &#8220;Trina&#8221; and &#8220;Gina&#8221; do sound alike&#8230;) The manicure boasted a gorgeous high-gloss shine, which Gina attributed to Julep&#8217;s Freedom Polymer Top Coat. &#8220;It&#8217;s so fast-drying that it&#8217;s perfect for backstage—whenever you&#8217;re strapped for time,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s what we call &#8216;gel-like;&#8217; it has to be housed in this black bottle because natural light cures it. Once you put it on the nails, it cures—that&#8217;s why it dries super-fast.&#8221; The best part? &#8220;It&#8217;s not invasive to remove; just use non-acetone remover!&#8221; she exclaimed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Julep-Freedom-Top-Coat.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Julep-Freedom-Top-Coat.jpg" alt="Julep-Freedom-Top-Coat" width="600" height="432" /></a></p>
<p>When I played with it myself, I was shocked at how fast it dried; I was able to bump my nails against whatever I liked (and avoid that dreaded <a title="Annoying Bed Sheet Marks" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/nail-tipped/pro-logic-quick-dry-nail-polish-tips-to-avoid-annoying-bed-sheet-marks/" target="_blank">bed-sheet problem</a> I encounter) within minutes of applying it. The directions say it cures in 5 minutes in natural light, but that if you want to speed up the process you can hold your nails up to a 60-watt light bulb for a 2-minute cure. As for the shine? It is pillow-y like a gel, and extremely reflective. Another side benefit I noticed: I had some bubbles form in my polish job (eek!), and when I sealed the design with Freedom, the bubbles disappeared. Weird&#8230;but welcome. As far as durability, each time I&#8217;ve worn it, I apply only one coat (Gina used two at the Trina Turk show, but I felt that would look too thick on my nails), and it holds up beautifully for a week.</p>
<p>The last key to this glossing product: It removes with non-acetone remover, which any gel-wearer knows is an amazing attribute. So, you can have the gel-like shine without the acetone removal—sign up anyone who loves the sound of that!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Making the leap to being a redhead takes some thought. Luckily, celebrity hairstylist Ammon Carver has nailed down the do's and don'ts to get you red the right way.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my &#8220;grown-up&#8221; years (any time after the age of 21), I&#8217;ve been some version of redhead more often than I&#8217;ve been anything else. But going red is possibly one of the hardest beauty transitions to take on. Why? The upkeep is difficult, to put it mildly. Red dye molecules are notoriously finicky; they don&#8217;t like to stay put in your hair strand, so the color fades in vibrancy at a much faster pace than, say, a faux brunette. But, if the countless hairdressers I&#8217;ve spoken to are to be believed (and why shouldn&#8217;t they be?), going titian is the preferred hair hue of choice this spring. (Further proof: Such beauties as Megan Fox, Dianna Agron and Rachel McAdams have taken the sanguine plunge!) So, if the crimson tide is a-coming, you need to arm yourself with some do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts on transitioning to red. And, you&#8217;re in luck! <strong>Celebrity stylist and Matrix Artistic Director Ammon Carver</strong> is going to give them to you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Do: Consider Your Skin Tone </div>
<p>It only makes sense that changing your haircolor will effect your skin tone, so you want to choose a red hue that complements your skin, rather than fights against it. &#8220;I go by a basic rule of thumb with red selection: If you have olive undertones in your skin, a cool red shade is going to look best. If your skin has a pink undertone, then stick with warm, coppery reds,&#8221; says Ammon. &#8220;Either way, cool or warm, the reds should look natural and rich—never punk.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>He recommends:</strong></span> If you&#8217;re seeking box color, try <strong>L’Oréal Paris Féria Power Reds</strong>. Want warm, copper red? Use R68 (Rich Auburn). Looking for something cooler? Try R37 (Deep Burgundy). But if you don&#8217;t trust your own hand to take you to red, visit a salon pro. Ammon points to <strong>Matrix COLORINSIDER Precision Permanent Color</strong>, an ammonia-free, permanent haircolor that maximizes high-definition color results with minimum stress to the hair’s cuticle, as a great dye to bring you healthy, scarlet strands.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Don&#8217;t: Wash Your Investment Down the Drain </div>
<p>Proof positive that red hair dye likes to skip town on strands? The bottom of my shower curtain, which, when I go redhead, takes on a soft shade of rose. But since you simply can&#8217;t stop washing your hair altogether (but, why not? she whines), Ammon advises, “Use cool water when washing your hair, skip days between washes, and always, always, always use a color-safe shampoo and conditioning system. This is most important with reds, as the key to rocking the shade is keeping it vibrant.” True that!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">He recommends:</span> Alba Botanica Hawaiian Colorific Plumeria Shampoo and Conditioner</strong>, which is free of color-stripping sulfates and drying salts. What they <em>do</em> include: vitamin-rich Plumeria, Pinneapple and Papaya, and the conditioner also has Jojoba, Kukui and Macadamia to nourish over-processed or damaged hair cuticles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Do: Try an At-Home Glaze </div>
<p>Another way to keep your crimson dye job in the vibrant zone: Use a clear at-home glaze after your color service. The sooner you do it, the better your chances of keeping the intensity of your dye job longer.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>He recommends:</strong></span> <strong>Oscar Blandi At-Home Salon Glaze</strong>, which, when used weekly, prevents color fading and adds moisture, brightens natural and color-treated hair, and protects hair from heat damage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Don&#8217;t: Forego Dry Shampoo </div>
<p>If washing your hair too much (even with color-safe formulas) will strip your hair of it&#8217;s new red hue, what&#8217;s a greasy-scalp girl supposed to do? Turn to dry shampoo, of course! And though you may blanch at the idea—after all, doesn&#8217;t dry shampoo serve to make your hair look more matte, which is the opposite of vibrant and shiny?—new dry shampoo formulas promise not to dull your strands as they sap away the grease.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>He recommends:</strong></span> <strong>Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo</strong>, which absorbs oils while adding body and lift with no color-dulling residue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="big_slogan replaced_font center"> Do: Consider the Commitment </div>
<p>Listen: Red isn&#8217;t for everyone, so think your transition through. “If your hair is dark, chances are you&#8217;ll need to lighten your hair before you color it, which can be a bit more damaging,&#8221; says Ammon. &#8220;Minimize the stress by using moisturizing, repairing and hydrating products.&#8221; Have light hair? &#8220;You&#8217;ll likely need what is called a <em>filler</em>, a preliminary deposit of color on your hair that will enable it to hold the final red tone,&#8221; he says. &#8220;By filling <em>and</em> coloring your hair in one day, you are committing to keeping you hair red (or at least a darker shade) for a while, making regular touch-ups important, too.” Talk through your options with a colorist, and see if you&#8217;re ready to make the long-term commitment.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>He recommends:</strong></span> <strong>MATRIX Total Results Color Care Miracle Treat 12 Lotion Spray</strong>, which will help strengthen compromised hair (those who were dark, and chose to pre-lighten their hair for the ensuing red), making it silkier and more manageable. Blondes can keep their roots in check with<strong> Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up &amp; Highlighting Pen</strong><strong> in Warm Reddish Brown,</strong> which affords seamless coverage with just a few swipes.</p>
<p>So, are you ready to go red? Now that you&#8217;re armed with Ammon&#8217;s do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts, taking the crimson leap should be a cinch!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Become a kid again and doodle your days away with Ciaté Chalkboard Manicure kit!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was a doodler in middle school and high school. As I&#8217;ve <a title="Tokidoki" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/nail-tipped/story-time-my-tokidoki-manicure-by-britney-tokyo/" target="_blank">mentioned before</a>, I scribbled anime obsessively while my teachers yammered about <em>stuff</em>, but also I drew the typical bubble letters and hearts on my paper-bag textbook covers. If I wasn&#8217;t learning, I was doodling. Most often I was doing both.</p>
<p>So I am delighted by <strong>Ciaté&#8217;s Chalkboard Manicure </strong>kit, which includes everything you need to treat your nails like they&#8217;re a chalkboard: four &#8220;liquid&#8221; chalk pens, a black matte Paint Pot and a matte top coat. The finished effect is much like chalk, so it&#8217;s imperfect and child-like by design. Strangely, I&#8217;ve seen people gripe (angrily, actually&#8230;which is just silly) about the fact that the chalkboard mani looks childish—but that&#8217;s the point! It&#8217;s fun and irreverent; it&#8217;s not to be taken so seriously.</p>
<p>I actually love it; I think the imperfection is what makes it so charming. The kit includes a booklet of doodle designs (think: keyholes, stars, stripes, etc.) you can swipe, but I created my own looks easily. Of course, there is a method to the madness of this kit, and to get the most out of it, you really need to follow the following steps.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Ciate-Chalkboard-Manicure-Liquid-Chalk-Pens.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Ciate-Chalkboard-Manicure-Liquid-Chalk-Pens.jpg" alt="Ciate-Chalkboard-Manicure-Liquid-Chalk-Pens" width="600" height="484" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What you need:</strong></p>
<p>+ Your Chalkboard Manicure Kit</p>
<p>+ A piece of paper</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Apply two coats of the provided black Chalkboard Nail Pot polish. You can apply just one coat—there is enough coverage—but I found that two really provided the perfect chalkboard canvas. Allow the polish to dry completely—and this is a <em>must</em>. Because you will be doodling on your nails with pens (hence, applying some pressure), your &#8220;chalkboard&#8221; foundation must be bone-dry so that you don&#8217;t smudge it.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Pick one of the four chalk polish pens (my fave is pink Jump Rope). On your piece of paper, press the nib of the pen down repeatedly until the liquid &#8220;chalk&#8221; flows to the nib. You need to do this to get the color flowing; be patient until you see a good amount of flow.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Scribble to your heart&#8217;s desire! Just like chalk, this liquid &#8220;chalk&#8221; pen is very forgiving; if you make a mistake, wet a tissue with water and then &#8220;erase&#8221; your design. Just like that: You can start over.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Once your design is finished, seal it with a layer of the provided Mattnificent clear matte top coat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Chalkboard-Manicure1.jpg"><img class="shadow_600" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Chalkboard-Manicure1.jpg" alt="Chalkboard-Manicure" width="600" height="681" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Some quirks to note:</strong> Sometimes the liquid chalk flows a little <em>too</em> much. I found that my blue came gushing out on my second manicure (I&#8217;ve played with this kit twice in one week, that&#8217;s how much fun I think it is!); the blue was extremely watery in this instance. The only way to problem-solve this is to be sure that your nib is flowing with a good amount of &#8220;thick&#8221; color—meaning, if it seems too transparent/watery, keep pushing the nub on your paper until you get the right consistency. Also: Drawing one color over another can be problematic. I found the liquid chalk didn&#8217;t really want to stay put when drawn over other liquid chalk. To problem-solve this, apply one color, and if you wish to draw over it with another color, first use the matte top coat, THEN apply the second color. In truth, the liquid chalk grabs the clear matte top coat really well, so it actually has better pigment pay-off if you do this.</p>
<p>And there you have it: a chalkboard manicure! Class dismissed!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, my <strong><a title="Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty" href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/nail-tipped/giveaway-dermelect-me-fearless-beauty-polish-collection/" target="_blank">Fearless Beauty</a></strong> nail polish collaboration with <a title="Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty" href="http://dermelect.com/ME-Peptide-Infused-Nail-Color-Treatments.asp#1094" target="_blank"><strong>Dermelect ME</strong></a> finally went on sale, and naturally, I&#8217;ve been playing around with the four colors—<strong>Buzz-worthy</strong> yellow, <strong>Fearless</strong> cerulean, <strong>Moxie</strong> pink and <strong>Renegade</strong> jade—to see what the infinite possibilities are to create cool nail art designs. And because I worked with superstar manicurist <strong>Elle</strong> (she paints Jennifer Lopez&#8217;s nails regularly!) on this collection, I thought: Why not ask Elle to create a few nail art looks using the Fearless Beauty colors, and share these looks with my readers? And, then, take that a step further: Why don&#8217;t I try to recreate the looks? And then, even one step further: <em><strong>Why not ask YOU to try your hand at recreating the nail art, and reward the person with the best nail artistry with a fat prize?</strong></em></p>
<p>What will the prize be? You can win: The complete Fearless Beauty nail polish collection plus Dermelect Timeless Anti-Aging Hand Cream (a $78 value).</p>
<p><strong>Welcome to the first of three Dermelect ME Fearless Beauty Nail Art Challenges! The first task: &#8220;Do the Wave&#8221; nail art.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DERMELECT-FEARLESS-BEAUTY-NAIL-ART-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4998" title="DERMELECT-FEARLESS-BEAUTY-NAIL-ART-1" src="http://www.fearnobeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DERMELECT-FEARLESS-BEAUTY-NAIL-ART-1.jpg" alt="DERMELECT-FEARLESS-BEAUTY-NAIL-ART-1" width="780" height="780" /></a></p>
<p><strong>First &#8211; Here&#8217;s how to enter:</strong></p>
<p>1. Recreate this &#8220;Do the Wave&#8221; nail art look using a yellow polish and a blue polish. You can either recreate this nail art design EXACTLY or you can create your own design, but you must use the &#8220;wave&#8221; element seen in this nail art somewhere in your design as well as the same color scheme (blue and yellow).</p>
<p>2. Take a picture of your nail art design. LIKE <strong><a title="Dermelect Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/MyDermelect" target="_blank">Dermelect&#8217;s Facebook</a></strong> page, and upload your design to the Facebook page.</p>
<p>3. Spread the word! Reblog, Instagram, tweet or share your Facebook post with hashtag <strong>#Fearlessbeauty</strong>, and <strong>follow Dermelect</strong> on <a title="Dermelect Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/dermelect" target="_blank"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> or <a title="Dermelect Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/dermelect/pins/" target="_blank"><strong>Pinterest</strong></a>. The more ways you follow/share, the more entries you get!</p>
<p>4. Leave a comment with your uploaded picture, including details of how you shared this post (if relevant).</p>
<p>This FIRST of THREE nail art contests will run midnight Monday April 29, 2013 and ending 11:59pm Sunday May 5, 2013. Entrants must be from the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).</p>
<p>You can enter as many times as you like; however, you can only win once.</p>
<p>Winners will be announced shortly after each contest ends on FearNoBeauty.com and Dermelect&#8217;s Facebook page.</p>

<p><em>(Here&#8217;s my first attempt at this nail art look; not too shabby! Now, you try!)</em></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how to recreate the look:</strong></p>
<p>1. Start with a base-coated nail. Paint half of the nail yellow; do on all 10 nails. Allow to dry.</p>
<p>2. Working on one nail at a time, paint the other half of the blue.</p>
<p>3. While the blue is still wet, repaint the yellow half of the nail in yellow.</p>
<p>4. Using a toothpick or dotter tool, <strong>lightly</strong> drag the tip of the tool back and forth between where the two colors meet. You&#8217;ll want to do a zigzag movement.</p>
<p>5. Repeat steps 2-4 on all remaining nails, remembering to work one nail at a time so that your polish remains tacky/wet when you create your &#8220;wave&#8221; design.</p>
<p>6. Allow all nails to dry and seal with high-shine top coat.</p>
<p><em><strong>Now, you try this design, or a version of this design, and upload your creation to <a title="Dermelect Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/MyDermelect" target="_blank">Dermelect&#8217;s Facebook</a> page, as well as Tweet and Instagram the look with the tag #FearlessBeauty, and you could be the winner of the Fearless Beauty collection plus Timeless Anti-Aging Hand Cream.</strong></em></p>
<p>We&#8217;re so excited to see what you come up with! Good luck! &#8230;and stay tuned for the next nail art challenge, which will post May 6!</p>
