Love at First Site: This Online Service Allows You to Remotely Consult a Dermatologist

Could the road to clear skin be as quick and easy as a selfie? That s the impressive claim of PocketDerm, the first ever smartphone acne consultant.
After seeing a patient who had to drive more than 100 miles for treatment, co-founder and dermatologist David Lortscher realized that follow-ups could be done remotely through teledermatology. PocketDerm cuts out the driving and allows you to regularly see a dermatologist through online consultations with photos and messaging,  Dr. Lortscher says.
And the process is as simple as it sounds. After submitting a few snaps of your face and a questionnaire about your skin type and medical history, a derm will reach out to you in 24 hours to discuss treatment options. And for less than $20 a month, you ll get customized medication shipped to you containing prescription-strength acne fighters like tretinoin and azelaic acid. Cutting edge, convenient, and no more waiting rooms? It s just what the doctor ordered.

Get the Look: Kate Mara s Gorgeous Metallic Shadow

Kate Mara is the latest star to go heavy metal with her makeup, opting for gorgeously gold lids at the premiere of Transcendence. While striking, the look is a subtle way to give the lustrous trend a try, and is still sophisticated enough for any occasion. Can’t wait to score the same look? We got the scoop from her makeup artist just in time for the weekend.
After perfecting Mara’s luminous complexion, Coleen Campbell-Olwell swept on the gold metallic shadows, using a purple accent along the lower lash line for a pretty pop of color. As for those lush lashes, “I decided to forgo false lashes and instead lined her top lash line with Antonym’s Certified Natural Eye Pencil in Noir ($18; antonymcosmetics.com),” she tells us. “To add density to her lashes, I took a small, dense shadow brush and smudged it in.” Finally, a dusting of Orlane’s Highlight Care Brush ($45; orlane.com) was applied on the inside corner of her eyes for added shimmer.

Jessica Alba Is Now Solid Blonde!

Jessica Alba has gone blonde again! The star revealed her new look over the weekend via Instagram, which is for her role in the upcoming movie Barely Lethal. While Alba s former ombre highlights would be considered a baby step into blonder ambitions for some, this isn t her first time on the lighter end of the hair spectrum. She first went blonde back in 2005 to play Nancy Callahan in Sin City as well as Sue Storm in Fantastic Four, then dabbled in the look last year to reprise her role in Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For.

Lauren Conrad Cuts Her Hair into a Lob (as We Collectively Swoon)!

While we admittedly think Lauren Conrad can do no wrong (see her super chic apartment and dreamy wedding ceremony) she still manages to surprise us with her great style on a regular basis. Just last night, on Instagram, Conrad debuted a new crop—a fresh, layered lob—which she described as her  first haircut in years. Kristin Ess, L.C. s longtime hairstylist and co-founder of The Beauty Department, provided the newlywed with the new look.

Last year, Conrad told InStyle, I like the lob a lot, but my hair grows so slowly so I’m reluctant to cut it any shorter. I do think it’s a really cool look, I’ve been toying around with the idea. It’s hair, and it does always grow back, so I think it’s fun to experiment with new looks. Her hair color is still the warm, buttery blonde she s had recently, but we re betting she ll change it up soon enough—after all, Conrad was one of the first in the now long list of celebrities to go lavender, have hot pink tips, and even try rainbow highlights.

Editor s Picks: 5 Sexy Fragrances for Valentine s Day

Beauty editors comb thought hundreds of scents a month and are generally considered the reigning experts in the most appropriate scent for every occasion. In honor of the most romantic day of the year, we asked InStyle s beauty team what they spritz on when they want to feel sexy.
From left:
Marianne Mychaskiw, assistant editor: Agent Provocateur’s wide range of lingerie always sets the bar high when it comes to determining what is sexy, and I have yet to find a scent more seductive than the brand’s original Eau de Parfum ($115; nordstrom.com). One spritz of the heady floriental blend helps me channel my inner Marilyn –  I love how it starts out strong with notes like Moroccan rose, saffron, and jasmine, then softens throughout the day as subtle elements like amber and gardenia start to come through.
Sheryl George, associate beauty editor: I love Stella McCartney s fragrance Stella ($72; sephora.com)…I always get compliments when I wear it and I love that it s got a sexy vibe without being over the top or super intense.
Kahlana Barfield, beauty director: I love iProfumi di Firenze s Talco Delicato fragrance ($110 at barneys.com). I ve been wearing it for years and never feel quite as sexy when I try other scents. It smells like baby powder (in a good way!). I spritz it on my neck, wrist and hair in the morning and it lasts all day.
Selene Milano, senior beauty editor InStyle.com: Fragrance is like clothing: sometimes you wear something for yourself or other women—and then some make you feel sexy enough for a date. When I wear Florabotanica by Balenciaga ($100 at sephora.com) my husband always notices. And I ve had two male friends buy it for their wives!
Angelique Serrano, beauty director: I ve tried time and again to describe how sexy Frederic Malle Carnal Flower ($350; fredericmalle.com) smells to those who haven t experienced it – and I always fall short. It brings to mind hot, heady tuberose flowers laced with all of their creamy sweetness and a hint of spice. It s incredibly addictive and just as magnetic. Whenever I wear the fragrance, a stranger stops to ask me about it. Sometimes I reveal the name, and sometimes I keep my signature to myself.
