Men Aren’t Into Skanky Makeup? Shocker.

Hey ladies… wondering why you’re still single? According to this article in the Daily Mail, your beauty kit could be the culprit. Makeup, cover-up, war paint, slap, pancake, whatever you call it—you may think it’s sexy—but he probably thinks it’s trashy.

I understand why women may wear a ton of foundation—covering up pimples and blemishes isn’t easy—but does he know that? I’m guessing not, as proven in this survey conducted in England by St. Ives.

Top 10 makeup turn-offs according to men:

1. Lipstick on teeth

2. Too much blusher

3. Thick foundation

4. Panda eyes

5. Clumpy mascara

6. Bright lipstick

7. Foundation tide mark around the jaw-line

8. Bright blue eyeshadow

9. Penciled-in eyebrows

10. Amy Winehouse-style eyeliner flicks

What do you think—are you a fan of heavy makeup? Are you guilty of over-doing it every once in a while? Do share dolls!

Amy Winehouse: Singer. (Former) Addict. Perfumer?

amywinehousefragrance

Sure, she inspired legions of young ladies to rock beehives and ballet slippers, but we’re having a pretty hard time believing she’ll be able to successfully enter the celebrity fragrance arena.

According to Grazia UK, the Rehab singer’s father is looking for ways to cash in on her fame a bit more. ‘Mitch is keen to license Amy’s name to a perfume house. He has been in talks with manufacturers and contacted PR firms for advice,’ a source told the Daily Star newspaper.

Here’s the million dollar question – what would the base notes of her perfume be? Tobacco? Freebase? Whisky? So many questions, so little information.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see (and sniff).

Will you purchase Amy Winehouse's perfume?

India-Jewel’s Desires du Jour: Off to London Edition!

desires

Stila Smudge Pot in Black, $20

London is chock full of beauty rebels—at any given moment you’ll see shaved scalps paired with long curls, two-toned mohawks, bull-style nose rings… wearing this inky gel eyeliner, I’ll fit right in. Nothing says I’m a bad girl like thick wing-tipped eyeliner, à la Amy Winehouse.

Alberta Ferretti Mythology Chiffon Dress, $1273

Being the party girl that I am, I’ll probably end up hanging out at Movida, London’s most exclusive nightclub. This flouncy Grecian-inspired mini-dress embodies the exact look I’m going for: easy, breezy, beautiful, ‘Incredibly Chic’ girl.

Dell Adamo Laptop, Starting at $1999, order now at AdamoByDell.com

As a writer, my eyes are always peeled. I’m constantly on the lookout for the next story to break, or a celebrity spotting to tweet. Lugging a regular laptop around gets tiring, and writing on my iPhone isn’t conducive for my (already poor) eyesight. This time around I’ll be traveling and typing in style with the super sleek Adamo—better known as the world’s thinnest laptop. Dell’s newest offering weighs just 4 pounds, and runs at lighting speed, thanks to its Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream, $30, available in salons only—see salon locator here

I’ve fallen off of the straight hair wagon—it was a way too much maintenance for me. Plus, I’m a curly girl at heart; I’m all about brilliant bounce and boing! Infused with Moroccan Argan-oil, this non-greasy cream is nourishing, moisturizing, and softening. Palming it through my lazy ringlets transforms them into silky spirals, just like I like them.

Aerosoles Ratatouille Sandal, $50

When overseas, nothing is more important to me than comfort. Between working and sightseeing, I’ll be on my feet for roughly 16-hours straight. This cute snakeskin sandal is stylish enough to wear out to dinner, but comfortable enough to walk from Wimbledon to Big Ben in.

Chanel Quilted Flap Bag, $100 per week, $295 per month at Avelle.com

When it comes to purses, it doesn’t get any more timeless and classic than this statement showpiece. Carry it to the office, to the pub, to the club—you’ll never have to switch bags. Plus, this steely gray is such a versatile color; it truly goes with everything. And why buy when you can borrow? Avelle (née Bag, Borrow, or Steal), makes it possible for you too to have a Chanel on your doorstep in less than 24-hours flat—at a price you can actually afford.

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic Spritzer, $8.50 and Korres Lip Butter, $9

I fly across the pond quite often, and every time I land in Londontown, my skin always feels unbelievably parched. Cabin air is ridiculously dry, so this time I’ll be prepared. Every couple of hours I’ll mist my face and neck with Liz Earle’s revitalizing rose and aloe vera spray, and I’ll dab on the wild rose Korres lip balm. I’m hoping to deplane looking just as gorgeous as I did when I boarded.

What If Amy Winehouse Put Her Hair Through Rehab?

First off, it would be called “Rehairb” – so claims the utterly hilarious British newspaper Daily Mail. They’ve compiled five images of Amy Winehouse’s face superimposed on the heads of other celebrities. The question they’re asking is – what would happen in Amy tried to wear one of their hairstyles? She’s already traded her trademark black (rat’s nest) beehive for a decidely chicer blonde (shaggy) bob. The wheels of change are in motion. Why stop there?

Maybe Things Are Starting to Look Up?

They say the first step to cleaning up your life is tweaking your appearance…

Amy Winehouse turned up in London today with a platinum blonde do, and I must say – I LOVE IT! She looks… dare I say it… healthy!

The jet black beehive was totally wearing thin on my soul – Amy must’ve heard my pleas for change, and decided to follow through!

Now, if we could only scale down that eyeliner, we’ll be moving in the right direction!

xx, Keep up the good work Amy!
