She Creates Miniature Paintings On Eyelids… THAT Is Talent. Israeli makeup artist Tal Peleg uses eyelids as her canvas and proves that a little eyeshadow and some eyeliner can go a long way. Instead of just highlighting a woman's face, Peleg transforms it by intricately applying creative paintings around the human eye. Notice the green eye as the pea from The Princess and the Pea?

Minimalist Beauty. Going Shampoo-Free - No Poo Method. Photo: V. Hoff I haven’t washed my hair since June. Okay, let me rephrase that. I haven’t washed my hair with shampoo since June. Call me a victim of the beauty bandwagon, but when I first learned about the “no poo” method late last spring, I knew it was totally up my natural-loving, hippie-tending, DIY-obsessed alley.

I tried making a flaxseed gel and it worked really well, but it’s pretty messy and only keeps for a week or two in the fridge.

I made two versions of lemon hair gel this time. The creamy white gel in the front is the moisturizing one. Warm the gelatin and water in a saucepan until completely dissolved. I put my two different gels into squeeze bottles for ease of use. Tip: Pour the gel into several small squeeze bottles. This brand is produced in Vancouver, B.C. and is the best natural hair product I’ve ever bought. I’d like to experiment a little more with the flaxseed version before posting it.

It's not just her incredible good looks, though that's a huge part of it. Huffine also exudes the kind of warmth and welcomeness that makes you feel like you've been friends with her for years, even if you've never met her before. It's a quality possessed by some of the top models in the business, the Karlie Klosses and Liu Wens of the world, who have pioneered the era of the Social Media Supermodel by making fans feel like they're a part of their world. Though Huffine doesn't quite carry the Instagram and Twitter follower numbers of those models -- not yet, anyway -- she's managed to capture the attention of one of the most important players in the industry: Vogue.

A plus-size model appearing in Vogue would make headlines any day of the week, but this particular shoot -- just one image! "Listen, American Vogue is super, super important for me," Huffine tells me over coffee. Floral Tom's shoes.
