Does flawless skin sound like music to your ears? The Lush Spa in the Chelsea section of London offers a Sound Bath facial, during which an aesthetician hits various tuning forks and touches them to your skin. The vibrations are said to balance and firm skin. Sounds pitch-perfect to us.

The boys are getting their share of beauty attention this summer with a fleet of old-time barbers. Through July, Nike is running a pop-up barbershop in Paris (at 11 Rue des Déchargeurs). Customers choose from looks that mimic athletes. (Will there be a Swoosh Special?) Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, we're seeing an influx of vintage-style barbers. The Blind Barber opened outposts in NY and LA, doling out cocktails with cuts and shaves. 

Every time we spy Rihanna, her skirts get shorter and her nails get longer. How does she decide when enough is enough? Her longtime manicurist Kimmie Kyees told People, “She does the iPhone test — if she can still type then [they're] OK.” As for her skirts, well, we can't vouch for those.

Two great things we can't get enough of: cute puppies and nail art. But not a mashup of the two. Yet it seems some canine beauty connoisseurs have perfected doggy claw masterpieces that would make Katy Perry drool. Bow wow why?

Queen of color Essie Weingarten is painting the town red with the opening of her flagship nail salon on Manhattan's upper east side. Customers can take a seat on plush couches upholstered in signature Essie shades, like Bahama Mama, Coral Reef and Status Symbol. Run, don't walk!

The Lancome rose isn't just a logo. Created from crossbreeding 2,000 species of roses, it was chosen as a key ingredient for its resilience, vivacity and adaptability. And it's more potent than ever in the latest launch: Lancome Absolue L’Extrait Regenerating Ultimate Elixir. But wait, there's a little choreography involved. The product comes with a unique "petal" applicator designed to be used in a series of gestures (strokes, sweeps and glides) over different parts of the face and neck to amplify results.

We've turned to retro beauties for inspiration when it comes to eyeliner or lipstick. But wig styles? Negative. Until now. We challenged our Beauty Daredevil reporter to a Cindy Sherman-style wig moment…or four.

When we hear liposuction with no anesthesia, no redness, no bruising, no pain, no needles and no down time, we say "No Way." But a new i-Lipo laser machine just launched, and it's reported to remove body fat, fade cellulite and erase stretch marks in 30 minutes. Can it also give blowouts? Fat chance.

Nothing from Lady Gaga gets filed under Ho-Hum, so her first fragrance appropriately shatters convention. She announced that in September, she'll launch a scent named Fame. The liquid itself is black, but once it's sprayed and touches the air, it becomes invisible.

OK, admit it. You dance around the bedroom while blasting music and doing your hair. And sing into a hairbrush, right? Same. Now you don't have to imagine the mic, because Corioliss introduced a brush with a microphone image on the back.

Blake Lively has been named the face of Gucci’s new women's fragrance Première, launching in July 2012.

Guys who don't favor feminine fragrances can now light up the man cave with whiffs of sawdust, catcher's mitts, even cigars.

Once you have your crow's feet and marionette lines in check, take a closer look at your nails.

The company claims this formula prevents age-related nail issues like weakness and peeling. 

Miley Cyrus sparked a cyber stir when she posted a provocative photo of herself on Twitter. Her corset-induced cleavage was upstaged by an overflowing rack.

We're calling it. The next nail craze will take place when you feast your eyes on this bound-to-be-waitlisted nail lacquer, Diwali. Part of the new Bombay Express de Chanel collection, the polish mixes pale gold and silver to recall the traditional Indian festival of lights.

Ever feel like there are just too many scents to choose from? The Wall Street Journal reported that 1,200 fragrances launched worldwide last year, more than three times the number of launches 10 years ago and 15 times the number 20 years ago.

Designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais of Ruffian partnered with MAC to create three ridiculously cool sets of ready-to-wear press-on nails available exclusively online through July 16.

Add makeup artist to Kate Hudson's lengthy list of talents. She recently told People that she learned early on how to apply makeup.

Get rid of summertime swamp feet with Butter London Mucky Pups, which revive tired tootsies when "your dogs are barking," as the brand says on their website.

La Prairie's iconic Caviar Collection is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this fall. But it doesn't look a day over 18.

La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift serum thwarts the ravages of time with a mixture of peptides, caviar extracts and anti-oxidants.

MAC launched a punk-influenced makeup collection with musician Beth Ditto, including three vivid shades of Zoom Lash mascara. The collection packs bold punches of color throughout, including these wands to add flair to your fringe. Available through July 19.
