Described as “fresh and sexy,” Armani Code Pour La Femme is a fabulous fragrance. And what girl doesn’t love a little Armani?

• Top notes: Blood orange, ginger, pear sorbet, jasmine
• Middle notes: Orange blossom, Seringa flower, lavender
• Base notes: Precious wood complex, vanilla

I smelled this on my best friend and instantly fell in love (with the scent, not her…sickos). The fragrance is a spicy, seductive mix of lush citrus and earthy notes, both bold and mischievous at once.

Giorgio Armani Code Pour Femme sells at Amazon.com for $72.50 in the 2.5oz size.

With summer here, it’s more important than ever to be knowledgeable about protecting skin from the sun. You probably know that SPF measures a product’s ability to protect skin from UVB rays, but here’s a new acronym you might not be familiar with: EPF.

EPF is short for Environmental Protection Factor and measures the potency of an antioxidant against the sun and pollution. The rating is based on a study by top dermatologists and chemists that ranked topical antioxidants for their respective abilities to resist UV rays, neutralize free radicals, and protect the skin’s lipid barrier. Here are the ingredients that fared best on the EPF scale:

Found your hair looking like the Bride of Frankenstein’s do one morning after a shift in the weather? This little trick is an oldie but a goodie: Run a fabric softener sheet (like the Snuggle ones you use in your clothes dryer) over your hair and watch your static electric flyaways disappear. (You can even use a sheet you’ve already put through the dryer, if you’re cheap like I am - the used ones work just as well.)

If you continually find yourself having problems with static frizz, here are a couple of tricks to help keep negatively charged locks at bay:

Every girl needs to pluck some gnarly eyebrow hairs every now and again, but believe it or not, one set of tweezers can’t do the whole job. Here’s a quick guide to picking the right tweezers for any situation:

• Thin tipped tweezers: Good for grasping small, fine hairs and targeting ingrown hairs.
• Slanted tip tweezers: The most versatile type; this pair offers maximum precision in picking off specific offenders.
• Square tip tweezers: Best for removing thick, coarse hairs or for plucking several hairs at once.

• Top notes: Pear, grapefruit
• Middle notes: Freesia, lily of the valley

Just in case you still have any cash after the onslaught of cosmetics Friends and Family Events, here’s another great sale for you: HauteLook is featuring Smashbox Cosmetics for sale until 11:00 PM PST tonight!

If you’ve never been to HauteLook before, you should really check it out. The site organizes private sales of items from high end luxury brands that only last 12-48 hours. Since you have to sign up to be notified about the sales, they’re less picked over when you get in late than any department store or even other sites. Although the site’s typical fare is designer fashions, I don’t see anything wrong with them branching out into cosmetics, do you?
