Both Estée Lauder TurboLash All
Effects Motion Mascara and Lancôme Oscillation are powered by tiny
batteries contained in their caps. The Estée Lauder wand starts
softly trembling as soon as the cap is unscrewed (and turns off again
when it's twisted back on); Lancôme's has a button on the side that
lets you control when it vibrates. The pulsating motion of these
wands is supposed to eliminate clumps and coat each lash all the way
around for more fullness. Maybelline is entering the growing segment of unique lash-enhancing products with the upcoming release of its newest product, Define-a-Lash Pulse Perfection.

Clear lip liner can keep the contour of
your lipstick defined without looking harsh or artificial, says
Cristina Bartolucci, the cofounder and creative director for DuWop
Cosmetics. Apply the liner before your lipstick and you create a
physical barrier that blocks the color from seeping into those teeny
vertical lines around the lips, so your color stays neat. And because
clear liner is undetectable, you'll never worry about having a ring
around your mouth once your lipstick fades. Ensure that your
lipstick stays put with Benefit D'Finer D'Liner ($20 at Sephora).

multi-functional treatment composed of 100% "argilla bianca,"
the rare and ancient alkaline-rich earth from the hills of Umbria.

No more excuses for simply pulling your hair back. Fall's crop of modified ponies gives us easy tweaks to take your tail from pony to stallion. Stylist's favorite was spotted at J. Mendel, where Odile Gilbert created a crazy combination of ponytail and chignon. "From the front, the sides and the back it looks like different styles," Gilbert noted. Gilbert worked Barex Italiana Gum Gum through the hair, then gave it a deep side part and rounded it back like she was making a high chignon, but secured it as a ponytail instead. Gilbert then looped a string in the hair near the nape of the neck and used it to secure the bottom of the ponytail. She finished the look with a spritz of Barex Italiana Gloss Hair Spray, to get the hair extra smooth and shiny.
The hair bun is the ultimate safe style but fall's crop of buns are anything but. Using intricate twists and adornments galore, the bumming-around bun has become the glamorous style du jour. At Max Azria (wonder bun on the left), hair stylist Laurent Philippon created a tousled, twisted bun. "I wanted the hair to look tight but nothing too slick and finished," he said. "I wanted it to look very organic." At Carolina Herrera (wonder bun on the right), Orlando Pita created ornately pinned buns -- studded with copper roses - to juxtapose the high collars shown on the runway. Dry conditioner was worked through the hair, which was pulled - not slicked - back.
