When the results of a study were recently published scientifically demonstrating that women with more glowing skin are universally regarded as prettier, was anybody surprised? Gals like us have known for years that a flawless complexion--plus that little extra attention-grabbing je ne sais quoi that results from flushed, lit-from-within cheeks--is the key to beauty nirvana. You'll look younger, you'll look happier, you'll look more well-rested, and you'll definitely look more beautiful.

The insider's secret to a gorgeous glow? There's one particular blush--beloved by makeup artists, beauty editors, bloggers, and 'real' gals alike--that is talked about, praised, adored and fawned over repeatedly : NARS blush in Orgasm ($25). That's right...Orgasm.

Perfume is, of course, a very personal thing: one woman's Joy is another woman's "Ew, what are you wearing?" Regardless of whether you're a fan of the heavy florals, a musk devotee, or besotted by light-as-air scents, one thing most fragrance lovers can agree on is this: we want to smell delicious.

Winter scents tend to be more sensual, musky and quieter than the happy, sparkling, floral scents often popular in spring and summer. This year, a crop of three new fragrances have sprung up that are so mouthwateringly yummy, they should come with a calorie counter.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...and as a result, your skin is suffering! You know the drill - harsh weather plus overactive heaters equals a parched, dull complexion seriously in need of some TLC.

Here's my tried-and-true personal prescription for great-looking winter skin.

Lip gloss aficionados can be a difficult-to-please bunch. This gloss is too sticky, that one doesn't have enough shine, still a third doesn't provide the right kind of color payoff. Finding the perfect gloss that covers all the bases, plus is flattering and has that ineffable je-ne-sais-quoi that keeps you coming back for more can sometimes feel like a search for a needle in a haystack! Ladies, I present Bare Escentuals Buxom Babes About Town collection ($39.00). Prepare to fall in love.

What do Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Demi Moore all have in common? (Well, other than a penchant for gorgeous, slightly younger men?) Fabulous smiles!

Cosmetic dentists offer a variety of in-office procedures, but they can be expensive--not to mention painful!
