Get Matte: Essie’s Matte About You
Matte nails are all the rage at the moment, but while these polishes can look decidedly more elegant than their glossy cousins, they typically can’t be used with a top coat, which means they don’t wear as well.
Enter Essie’s Matte About You—a matte-finish top coat. One coat gives any polish a matte finish without the chips and smudges of a top-coat-free manicure. An added bonus: It contains no formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP.
Brilliant!

Pretty in Green – Sulusso Sustainable Jewelry
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but they are no friend to the Earth, or to most of the people who mine for them.
Leonardo di Caprio introduced a large percentage of the world’s population to the concept of blood diamonds and sparked an interest in conflict-free diamonds. Now Sulusso, a just-launched online retailer of sustainable luxury goods, is taking it one step further selling not only eco- and people-friendly diamonds, but also gorgeous rings, earrings, and necklaces made from recycled metals and other environmentally responsible bits of bling.
Some of the designers we’ve featured in Spa (Lori Bonn, C5 Company) are selling their wares through Sulusso and founder Meghan Connolly Haupt is adding new designers every day. We appreciate the fact that the site already features items in a wide price range, so you can find everything from a simple pair of earrings to an engagement ring there. Happy shopping!

Glamorous Hair Made Easy – The T3 Pro Wet-or-Dry Iron
I recently got a hair cut that requires drying and straightening in order to look as good as it did when I left the salon. It’s short, though, so neither of these things is a huge chore … except when I’m at the gym, racing to get ready for work.
I read about the T3 Pro Wet-or-Dry Iron the other day and now I’m saving up $120 to get one because it’s going to make my sleek new ‘do, er, do-able: It dries and straightens in one fell swoop. Now all I want to know is why no one thought of this before?
