This message board thread fascinated me. It's all about men getting pedicures, and surprisingly we have quite a few guys out there not only getting pedicures but experimenting with color as well.

I'll admit it: Lately, I've been in a bit of a makeup rut. Since I've started working out in the mornings, I've had very little time to get ready before work so I just reach for the same, easy-to-use products. It's not a bad look but I could definitely stand to shake things up a bit.

Upscale skincare line Caudalie already has a few spas set up in wineries, which sounds heavenly. But now they've opened a spa in The Plaza hotel in New York. There, you can not only get wine-inspired spa treatments but also visit an on-site wine lounge with sommelier.

Have you ever wondered what makeup products would really look best on you? While there's certainly nothing wrong with experimenting with colors and products by yourself or hitting up one of the cosmetics counters at the department store, sometimes it's nice to have that extra bit of advice.

To show their support for this cause, Three Custom Color Specialists is introducing a new lip gloss called Tai Lip Shine. It's retailing for $19.50 and they'll be giving 20 percent of the proceeds to the American Diabetes Association. It looks like a pretty color -- a copper shade with bronze shimmer -- and you can feel good about your purchase since it's for charity (as if we needed a reason to buy lip gloss!)

Did anyone try out the Halloween makeup videos for their costume? Or did you come up with your own cool hair and makeup this year? My sister actually used the Pin-Up Girl video for her costume and she looked too cute! Please share what you did by clicking on "comments" below. I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!
