CINCINNATI, OH January, 2007 – Head & Shoulders, a hair care secret discovered by Cosmopolitan readers who know all about being head-turning, is looking for the “Head Turner of the Year” – someone with personal style, charisma and stand-out achievements. Women are invited to log onto Headturninghair.com to nominate themselves for “Head Turner of the Year.”

The grand prize winner will receive a three-day, two-night trip to New York City to participate in an unforgettable photo shoot and makeover with the Head & Shoulders’ Style Squad, comprised of some of the industry’s top fashion and beauty stylists. A photo layout will run in the June 2007 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.

In a blind survey, 80 percent of Cosmopolitan readers found that Head & Shoulders gave them head-turning hair. Head & Shoulders delivers truly healthy, head-turning hair because it provides both hair and scalp care.

Head & Shoulders helps to liberate people from hair and scalp worries, such as dullness and flakes, and contains six times more moisturizers than non-conditioning shampoos. Head & Shoulders increases hair’s protection from damage and decreases dandruff symptoms such as itching, redness, irritation and visible flakes. The result: healthy, manageable hair and an extra boost of self-confidence. This assurance, coupled with gorgeous, healthy hair, stops people in their tracks, embodying what being a head turner is all about.

When I find a product I like, I tend to stick with it. Usually it’s because the product is easy to apply, produces a good effect and stays where I put it for a good portion of the day so I don’t have to reapply or fix it later.

My Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner is one of those products. For a while I was a fan of liquid eyeliners because they flow so nicely - but it’s too easy to make a sweeping mistake and then it’s hard to remove that black line trailing up over your eyebrow. The Revlon pencil works well and is easier than liquid for several reasons.

It’s soft. Pencils are often hard and can’t be applied dry without being too rough on delicate eyelids. My Colorstay eyeliner pencil makes it easy to draw a line or just dot in between lashes for a more subtle effect.

The tip is always sharp. You just have to twist the wand to advance the eyeliner color so that you always have a new supply. There’s no looking for the right sized sharpener or scratching your lid with the pencil wood.

Colorstay does stay all day and doesn’t end up all smudged making me look like I have a black eye. That’s the main thing, it does what you expect it to, what the name promises.

Colorstay comes in 8 shades. My two favorites are the brown, which is very rich and straight black, which has a deep, velvety color.

Imagine attention-grabbing lashes that are long and lush yet sparkle and catch the light. What if you could have sparkling jewels at the tips of your lashes?

Revlon has invented an amazing new product that leaves lashes bejeweled and dazzling. Lash Jewels is a liquid formula that crystallizes into delicate droplets on your lash tips, creating a jewel-like effect.

Lash Jewels comes in four shades:
* Precious Pink
* Smoldering Violet
* Crystal Gaze
* Aqua Allure

Nails can be difficult to keep in good shape. We use our hands all the time in little ways we don’t even think will damage the nail. But housework, daily chores, even opening soda cans can damage nails.

Keeping nails short or medium length makes them easier to protect. Don’t file the sides of the nails, this weakens them. Do file nails in a blunt or square shape.

And it’s important to give nails a break from polish. Keeping polish on all the time doesn’t allow the nail to breathe. Dark polishes can stain nails if left on for a long time, but even light polishes can yellow nails. Take nail polish off, use a cuticle cream and let your nails breathe for a few days before your next manicure. Your nails will thank you for it.
