Violet Grey
The word “curated” is a bit overplayed, but the word works perfectly for VioletGrey. Billing itself “The industry’s beauty edit,” the site is half style mag, half luxury shop. Each month VioletGrey publishes an unconventional interview and photo spread of an intriguing female celebrity (recents include Vanessa Paradis and January Jones). The site also features beauty tutorials and carefully curated (there’s that word again!) lists of only the very best, innovative products and you can shop directly from the VioletGrey shelves.

IntoTheGloss.com
The leading multi-editor beauty website has built its massive following by publishing online content that is as professional and high gloss as the stuff you will find in print. Into the Gloss provides the very best reviews of new hair, body, makeup and nail products, often with high-end photo shoots accompanying. However, the site loads new content several times a day, and also provide top-rate interviews with style leaders and celebs. Favorite features: Emily’s Essentials, Interviews, Hair section
