Pumpkin Pal
Wouldn’t it be nice to have all of the fun of creatively carving a pumpkin without having to deal with pumpkin guts? Pumpkin Pal gives you that chance by allowing you to virtually carve a jack-o-lantern with a variety of different shapes to choose from. Make it unique without the mess!

True Ghost Stories
Nothing beats a good ghost story this time of year, and while Tales from the Crypt reruns are cool, the best Halloween scares come from ghost stories that are actual true and submitted by real people. Get access to full-body-shiver-inducing tales from all over the world with this app.

Halloween Sounds Pro
Any horror movie director can tell you that spooky sounds go a long way toward setting a scary mood. The free version of Halloween Sounds Pro lets you mix and match evil laughs, howling wolves and eerie music to set a creepy mood.

2010 Beauty & Technology Trends2010 promises to be an innovative year for the beauty industry.  Stem cell face lifts and blood fillers are the current bizarre trends in youthful skin procedures, while a new iPhone beauty- app craze has taken the world of beauty to a virtual level.  Want to try on a new hair color without the risk?  There’s an app for that.  Want to “measure your attractiveness”?  There’s an app for that!

If you have resolved to get rid of those wrinkles in the New Year, blood fillers may be the way to go.  To begin the procedure, platelets and fibrin are separated out from your own blood.  This mixture is then injected beneath the surface of the skin at the targeted site.  After eight weeks, new collagen, skin cells, and blood vessels form to help erase signs of aging.  The results are supposedly long-lasting with no side effects, and more importantly, it seems the 2009 vampire craze has followed us into the new decade.

Similarly, “stem cell face lifts” use your body’s own materials to rejuvenate skin.  Fat and stem cells are harvested from your own body (usually in the abdominal area) and then grafted to your face.  Stem cells currently existing in your face are then “awakened” and trigger further growth of the implanted fat and existing skin cells.  Although this sounds like quite the procedure, the process can be conducted in an about an hour under local anesthesia, with only a week recovery time.

Perhaps one of most easily accessible of beauty innovations in 2010 are the beauty applications for the iPhone.  Apps like “color try,” and “MakeUP” allow beauty consumers to test different hair colors and make up brands on uploaded pictures before spending and committing.   Have you ever wondered how attractive your really are?  Download the “vanity” application and you will get an unbiased rating of your looks based on objective measurements.

With so many beauty industry advancements, we can all hope for a good-lookin’ 2010.

Another hot trend in 2010 is getting connected online in the beauty industry. The best place on the web to do that is at the Beauty School Lounge, where you can network with other students and professionals in the business, post online cosmetology portfolios, find beauty and cosmetology jobs, watch beauty tutorials and much more.
