We'll be getting the scoop on what beauty trends you can expect to see in the spring and share beauty tricks the hair and makeup pros use to make every model look amazing for her strut down the runway. We'll also introduce you to Emily Warren, a makeup artist and this week's guest editor. She'll be doing makeup for shows throughout the week and will give you an insider's sneak peek into the life of a makeup artist during this very hectic, but exciting time. Stay tuned ...

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month, so make sure your guy gets his checkups, especially if he's age 40 or older (although younger men can still get it).

Did you catch the new "90210" last night on the CW? What did you think? We thought original 90210 stars Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty looked amazing! Although ... I couldn't help but notice how much their faces have changed over the last 10 years. Perhaps it's the hair or makeup ... or perhaps it's something else? Have a look:
