Beach in the City is Back

May 21, 2008

Beach in the City – A seasonal feature about bringing the beach to the city even when you can’t take a vacation. You may remember my Beach in the City posts from last summer — I ended up only writing two posts. One was on Bobbi Brown’s Beach scent, and seaspray scents in general, and […]

Blue Disk Insanity

May 13, 2008

My search for the Sally Hansen Blue Disk has been pathetically fruitless. I have tried five more drugstores and still no blue disk. As far as I can tell, the only place where I can find it is Walgreens.com which, in my initial opinion, was nowhere near as good as drugstore.com. I revised my opinion […]

Soap Cupcake Cuteness

May 13, 2008

So I love soap and I love cupcakes, so it was only a matter of time before I got sucked in by the cupcake soaps at Hawley Road Soap Works. Aren’t they adorable? Same great quality Hawley Road soaps I have raved about in the past, but as CUPCAKES. Hmm, cupcakes. Hawley Road also has […]

Stila Summer Palette

May 12, 2008

When I was at Sephora yesterday, I spied the Stila Summer Palette, which contains some longstanding Stila shimmer eyeshadows. It retails at $40 which, considering an individual eyeshadow pan is $20, makes the palette great for travel or just for trying out some new Stila colors. You can always buy your favorites as eyeshadow pans […]

Bobbi Brown Customizable Palettes

May 9, 2008

I have been remiss in not mentioning that Bobbi has redone the all her blush and shadow singles packaging so that they could pop in and out of a light palette framework. I have played with them a bit at Bloomingdales, but have not had time for a proper makeover yet. Fortunately I am having […]

Elusive Blue Disk

May 6, 2008

A friend of mine was very pleased with the recently released Sally Hansen La Cross Foot Smoothing Disk. I generally don’t do anything grooming for my feet except take myself to get a pedicure regularly (and apply lotion at night), but I decided this might be a good time to actually put some work in […]

Kiehls Flagship Store

May 5, 2008

I was in the East Village recently, and it reminded me I had to post about Kiehls at some point, even though I can’t give you all any product recommendations. It’s more of a funny beauty obsession story. Five years ago I lived in the East Village, and the Kiehls Flagship Store was ON MY […]

Happy May

May 4, 2008

Happy May Everyone! I went to the Brooklyn Museum recently to see the Murakami Exhibit. This is the only East Coast showing of it – it started in L.A. and then is heading to Germany and Spain. Like many, I was not familiar with Murakami until he worked with Louis Vuitton on their many joint […]

Physician’s Formula Organic Wear: The Verdict

April 30, 2008

So, in sum, after my reviews on Physician’s Formula Organic Wear products, what do I think? The ingredients are 100% naturally-sourced, though the proportion of organic to non-organic ingredients ranges from 15% (in the powder) to 80% (in the tinted moisturizer). The ingredients are mostly good, happy, skin-loving ingredients, but the touch of aluminium in […]

Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Part 4: The Blush

April 26, 2008

I seriously considered not reviewing the Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Blush because it’s terrible. I rarely give something such a negative review. I firmly believe that every makeup product is a fit for someone. My favorite blushes are the high-end and notoriously easy to apply and foolproof Nars and Shu Umuera blushes, but I have […]

Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Part 3: Bronzer

April 19, 2008

I was excited to try the Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Powder Bronzer. It has similar ingredients to the pressed powder that I reviewed yesterday PLUS when I was in the store selecting which one to buy, I noticed the Fair Skin Bronzer looked like it would have a similar look to one of my favorite […]

Physician’s Formula Part 2: Organic Wear Face Powder

April 17, 2008

After my overall good experience with the Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer, I was not disappointed with the Pressed Powder. I tried it in Fair Translucent and it’s finely milled and comparable to my Laura Mercier Pressed TranslucentPowder in its finishing ability. Definitely a winner if you want a good translucent powder at a […]

Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Part 1: Tinted Moisturizer

April 16, 2008

I decided to do my four-part series on Physician’s Formula Organic Wear by starting with the tinted moisturizer and following the order of putting products on. I should also mention that my TMs of choice are Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier. They are both fairly fool-proof and, as long as you don’t have major imperfections […]

Thank you to those of you out there who read me despite the lack of graphics and pictures. I know that the cutting-edge […]

100% Natural Makeup from Physician’s Formula – 4 Part Series

April 11, 2008

So I realized today that it’s been TWO months since I posted about makeup. Yes, I still wear it, 5-6 days a week (I try to take one weekend day off from wearing eye makeup to give my eyes a break) I have to admit, I am really in a rut these days — and […]
