We spend a lot of time binge-watching television on Netflix, and we have a lot of feels about our favorite shows (especially ones that recently ended -- we're looking at you, "Mad Men" and "Parks and Rec"). Needless to say, we're down with an award show that celebrates the best of the best in television. This year, celebrities killed it on the Emmys red carpet. From Lady Gaga to Sarah Hyland to Taraji P. Henson, here are our favorite hair and makeup looks from the 2015 Emmys.
To many of us, Christina Hendricks will always be Joan Harris from "Mad Men." Fortunately, the real life Christina Hendricks isn't too far off. She's a vivacious redhead who's charming and undeniably likeable -- and just a little shy.
September 15 marked the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the heritage and culture of Hispanics and Latinos who have made a difference in the United States. In honor of the month, we're celebrating the influential and inspiring Latina women who have made their mark over the years by breaking records, beating the odds and standing out.
There are few things in life as inexpensive, accessible and utterly essential to our health as water. Yet, we feel like this liquid refreshment doesn't always get the props it deserves. So please join us as we raise a virtual glass (of H2O, natch) to toast the many amazing benefits of water.
In order to have a low-maintenance daily beauty routine, sometimes you have to spend a bit of time being that girl. You know, the one who spends seven hours in the salon or spends two hours with her eyelash extension expert. Because treatments like these (we're talking everything from varicose vein treatments to laser hair removal to eyelash tinting to permanent makeup) can be truly life-changing — they can save you money and precious getting ready time in the long run. Here, 13 beauty treatments that are worth the cost.
September is a fantastic month for many reasons but one thing trumps them all: It's shopping season. It's time to stock up on boots, snag some cozy sweaters and -- if you're anything like me -- buy all new post-summer skin care, fall makeup and fun hair products.
It's finally time: The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. The VMAs are famous for some of the most controversial musical performances (who could forget Miley Cyrus at the 2013 VMAs or Britney Spears' legendary performance with a giant snake) -- and some of the most daring fashion and beauty moments, like Lady Gaga's meat dress. What amazing beauty looks did the 2015 VMAs bring? We've gathered out favorites here.
Let's get honest for a second. We're friends, aren't we? We talk about plenty of gross things on Total Beauty: volcano-like acne, blizzard-like dandruff, unwelcomed hairs in unmentionable crevices. So let's join hands and make this a safe space to talk about the one gross thing we all have in common.
It's that time of year again: our annual Beauty Awards. We spent months testing the latest hair, skin care, body and makeup launches from the past year to come up with our list of the absolute best products in 65 categories. Naturally, we were bound to discover a few beauty trends along the way. And though trends may run their course (we're looking at you, over-the-top nail art) we wouldn't be surprised if these current trends soon become beauty staples.
With its muggy weather and vacation-centric scheduling, August is the perfect time for minimalist beauty. Sheer makeup, barely there manicures and simplified cleansing routines mean more time to enjoy the last full month of summer.
I've just landed in New York City for the weekend to visit my best friend. I'm standing outside Terminal 5 at JFK, wearing fuchsia lipstick and blue eyeglasses, and I want my 391 Instagram followers to know I've arrived. I hold up my iPhone, grin sideways and snap. Approve, filter, post.
It would be impossible to declare one decade better than all of the rest -- but we feel like we could make a strong case for the '90s. After all, the '90s not only brought Leonardo DiCaprio, "Friends" and AOL into existence, these golden years also launched a whole bunch of makeup, skin and hair products that we still think of fondly, even 20 years later.
When Caitlyn Jenner came out as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair, the world gushed. Even people who feel conflicted about gender reassignment had to admit: She was stunning. The most common comparison: Caitlyn looks just like the femme-fatale-playing actress, Jessica Lange. Even though Jenner is naturally blessed with delicate features, make no mistake -- it cost a fortune for her to look as good as she does. And, unfortunately, it's a price tag that many transgendered women can't afford.
Thanks to Caitlin Jenner and TV shows like Amazon's Transparent, the transgender community is receiving more mainstream exposure than ever. But that doesn't mean we understand every trans woman's story.
If I could only write about one category of beauty product for the rest of my career, it would be skin care. Which is why I'm so excited about the new products launching in July: There's a lot of skin care. From the best-selling cleansing oil in Korea (you'll be shocked to learn the brand) to a cooling, moisturizing cucumber mist you can pick up at Target to an overnight moisture mask made with snow mushroom, there are some fascinating skin care buys this month. You'll also find the prettiest new line of lip gloss, a gorgeous candle and so much more. Ready to shop? I certainly am.
You're probably familiar with the beauty oil boom and its most popular ingredient: argan. (Think Moroccanoil for hair, Josie Maran for skin.) Now, however, there's an oil that may oust argan from the top spot. It's called marula oil, and it's showing up in everything from skin care to shampoo.
Country music's rising stars gathered tonight in Nashville for the CMT Awards, and we've got the scoop on the best celebrity hair and makeup of the night. From Carrie Underwood's covet-worthy layered hairstyle to Brittany Snow's gorgeous waves and pink lipstick, these are the looks you need to see.
We'd never steal candy from a baby, but sunscreen? That's another story.
Baby sunscreens tend to pack a whole bunch of benefits -- particularly for adults with sensitive skin -- because they're formulated without irritants, potentially harmful parabens or fragrances, according to Dr. Jody Levine, New York City-based dermatologist and National Medical Director of AOB Med Spa.
