Trendy juice brand Organic Avenue is discounting juices for models during Fashion Week. The company says that their offerings are healthier than the bagels and sodas models would otherwise be subsisting on backstage. What do you think? Is it a great idea, or are they encouraging models not to eat? Source: abcnews.com

Even though it's barely February, I'm already dreaming about spring makeup. There's just something so refreshing about soft pastels after a long, dreary season of black and gray.
Thanks to Kate Mara -- and makeup artist Kim Bower -- I now have a very specific look in mind. Mara was breathtaking at the "House of Cards" premiere in Washington D.C. earlier this week, and it was everything I want my makeup to be come April.
Glowing skin and a pop of pink on the cheeks is crucial for this look, and Bower used a trio of skin-perfectors to get this gorgeous glow: Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Murad primer under Giorgio Armani Luminous Skin Foundation. Then, she applied Nars Blush in Luster to the apples of the cheeks.

While it's always exciting when one of our favorite celebrities releases her own makeup line (we're looking at you Drew Barrymore!) we get just as giddy when a pro launches a collection. No one knows products like makeup artists do -- and these collections are almost always fantastic.

Not only have I been a fan of Fine's work on the red carpet for years, but the line is specifically geared towards women of color.

The days of having to check the back of a lipstick for "cruelty-free" or "not tested on animals" will soon be coming to an end -- at least if your lipstick is made in Europe.
WWD reports that a ban on the import and sale of animal-tested cosmetic products in the European Union is expected to go into effect on March 11 of this year. In short, any beauty companies wishing to sell cosmetics or ingredients in the EU -- even toiletries like toothpaste and soap -- must not test them on animals anywhere in the world.
This comes as a huge victory not only to those of us who are fond of our furry friends, but also to Cruelty Free International, a nonprofit organization that has been campaigning for this kind of legislation for over 20 years. Working alongside the organization is…
