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.

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.

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

There’s an article today on Fox News about the declining sales of pantyhose over the last few years. With fashion trends changing and more employers adopting casual business dress, fewer women are wearing traditional pantyhose and when they do wear dresses and skirts, they are opting for bare legs rather than hosiery.

But change is the only certainty in fashion and all trends recycle. Skirts and dresses are making their way back into everyday style choices and so is the need for some type of hosiery to go under them, especially in the colder, winter months.

Stockings are not what they used to be. Patterned and colored tights, thigh-highs and fishnets, footless leggings and opaque hose are showing up on fashion show runways more and more.

Where to get these trendy and fabulous legwear looks? I found this site, Stockingirl.com, that has an amazing array of all the new styles in hosiery. You can find everyday hose that is suitable for office wear as well as some very sexy styles for those special occasions. Whether it’s thigh-high glitter stockings or printed tights, it’s not your mother’s pantyhose!

L’Oreal has introduced Bare Naturale, a mineral based foundation powder. Mineral makeup is great for any skin type. It won’t clog pores and it’s naturally gentle to skin. Bare Naturale has vitamins and minerals for nuturing your skin as well as an SPF 19 sunscreen.

L’Oreal’s Bare Naturale is available in 8 shades to match your skintone. The applicator brush is swirled into the sifter, embedding powder on the bristles. After shaking off any excess, the foundation powder is applied with the brush using circular motions from the center of the face out to the hairline. You can repeat the application process until you reach your desired level of coverage.
