The cast of Desperate Housewives — simply because I CAN NOT WAIT until Jan 7th, when the new episodes return.

Pins and needles girls. I’m sitting on pins and needles.

Literally. I check for daily updates and spoilers everywhere.

Here’s a (not-so) secret: I’m a TV junkie too. Shhhhhh!

Hehe.

Three fab bottles of budget black polish

There’s oh-so-much hoopla floating around about Chanel’s ever-sold out midnight nail hues (Black Satin and Noir Ceramic). It’s almost as if they only made 30 bottles of each shade, distributed half to the young American trendsetters (Lindsay, Nicole, Paris, both Jessica’s) and quietly put the rest on sale at one or two select Chanel counters in NYC and LA.

As luck would have it, it’s almost damn near impossible to find good bottle of black anywhere, even at the drugstore or your friendly neighborhood beauty supply store. Sure you can find any old bottle of black polish, but you’ll just be painting on coat after coat after coat of an I-shouldn’t-even-be-allowed-to-legally-call-myself-black, super-thin, el cheapo version, and that’s no fun.The trick to getting this look just right is to find a bottle of thick, opaque black polish. We’ve been conditioned to think that the black Chanel shades are the absolute best, but even if you’re lucky enough to find a bottle, you may not want to (or be able to) spend $18 for a teeny tiny 13ml bottle. Here, I’ve rounded up my favorite three bottles of opaque black polish that are just as good, at least 60% cheaper, and you may (I repeat, MAY) even be able to find a bottle around your way.

Exclusive Beauty Q&A

Meet Sprague Grayden, a gorgeous 27 year old actress who’s appeared on several hit TV shows (Jericho, Six Feet Under, Joan of Arcadia, One Tree Hill) over the past few years. Here, exclusively with Glam.com, Sprague shares all (about her love of beauty).

1. What’s your daily skincare regimen?
I use Exuviance by Neostrata. I use their normal face wash and moisturizers, day and night. I also use their peel every two weeks or so. Their products are great for sensitive and dry skin.

2. What’s your favorite mascara and lip gloss?
My favorite lip gloss is actually just a tinted gel from a store in Santa Monica called Splash. It’s very natural. My favorite mascara is Max Factor.

3. What’s your favorite fragrance and why?
My favorite fragrance is Calvin Klein’s Eternity because it’s simple, clean, and timeless.

4. What are your biggest beauty obsessions (brands), and secrets?
My biggest secret is no foundation! I also wear sunblock every day. My biggest obsession is bronzer. I use a Bobby Brown bronzer instead of blush.

5. What are your favorite hair products?
I love Big Sexy Hair’s root lift. I also use a variety of curling irons to get separation and body.

6. What’s the one beauty item you’d splurge on?
Massages! You have to be relaxed to feel beautiful!

My favorite two words to describe Rihanna: Simply gorgeous. With flawless skin, a gorgeous gaze, a captivating smile, a silky smooth voice, a killer shape, and a sugar-sweet personality, Rihanna is the perfect package. No wonder Cover Girl just enlisted her as their newest spokesgirl!
