The Best of Beauty: May 2010

Throughout the next 12 days, I'll be giving you a look back at some of my favorite posts from the past year. Check out May after the jump!



Want the best, most grueling workout of your life? Look no further than Core Fusion. After the retreat Kripalu with founders Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp, I'm a total junkie.

You won't often find me spending $60+ on a single candle. But when it comes to BURN, all my spending policies go out the window.

Have you ever tried sheet masks? They're pretty genius. In fact, I dedicated a whole series to them. Here's the first post.

If my life were perfect, I'd own every single Rebecca Minkoff bag. Luckily, I scored a few amazing finds at her semiannual sample sale.

In May, I met my soul mate. No, not a guy. It's the Clarisonic Mia. Love at first vibration.

The genius behind Rihanna's nails? None other than celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees. Check out my interview with her!

The facials at Joanna Vargas are unrivaled. And I finally got to experience one with Joanna herself!

I always doubted the value of the Tide To Go Pen. But once I saw it work its magic on silk, I was hooked.

The best in the nails business? Hands (and feet) down, it's Jin Soon. My "Spirit of the Beehive" pedicure certainly was divine.

I started doing video posts in May of this year! My very first one? A haul of the day featuring DVF and Chanel.

This was a nails-heavy month! I was thrilled and honored to feature the founder of one of my very favorite nail lines, butter LONDON -- the super fabulous Nonie Creme.

The eyeshadow that's gotten me noticed more than any other this year? It's part of the glamtastic Stila Jeweled Eye Shadow Palette.
