Did you know that you can get rid of skin puffiness with the help of chamomile tea? Expensive lotions and creams beware, this stuff does the trick nicely. All you have to do is steep some chamomile tea to a golden yellow (follow the instructions on the tea and add a couple minutes to make it stronger). Let it cool and then then soak a clean washcloth in it and apply to the skin as a compress. Let the compress sit on your skin for about 10 minutes, more if you're feeling really puffy, and then rinse and dry the skin. If you roll up a washcloth like a hotdog you can use it to treat those pesky under-eye circles.
NARS-Makeup-Removing-Water.jpgThere are few makeup cleansers that we think really do the job adequately. Most purport to take off your makeup easily, but few actually do it. But our new favorite cleanser is definitely NARS Makeup Removing Water.

This cleanser is both soap-free and alcohol-free, so it doesn't irritate your eyes. You can even take off your eye makeup while you're still wearing contacts and no irritation or redness will occur! And since it's water-based, it isn't greasy at all and makes skin feel smooth and supple after applying.

But what we really love is this cleanser's ability to remove all makeup in almost no time at all. Even the most stubborn mascara and eyeliner are no match for this cleansing water!

NARS Makeup Removing Water retails for $28 at narscosmetics.com.
Valentine's Day is next week--and while we don't really love everything the holiday represents, there's no denying all the cute beauty products that go along with it.

Scarlett Johansson
complemented her deep navy dress with a deep blue nail color for a recent engagement. Her overall style was very simple, very classic, while her nails showed her fashion-forward thinking. A stunning blue nail color can really pull off a basic evening ensemble and even add a little sass to your everyday looks as well.

To copy Scarlett's blue digits, I suggest checking out OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue, Essie Bobbing for Baubles or Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Navy Baby.
China-Glaze-Colours-From-The-Capitol-Collection.jpgAre you as into The Hunger Games as I am? I have to admit, I've read the series four times and can't wait for the movie to come out. And, as luck would have it, neither can China Glaze! For months, a nail polish collection was rumored--and now, there will be the Colours from the Capitol Collection!

The collection includes 12 polishes inspired by The Hunger Games. From Luxe and Lush (iridescent glitter that almost looks like glass particles) to Riveting (fiery orange), the collection includes something for everyone--no matter which district you may be rooting for.

The China Glaze Colours from the Capitol collection will launch in early March and will be available at sallybeauty.com. Each bottle will retail for $5.99.
