Surviving the Winter Sniffles and Still Looking (Mostly) Good

November 30, 2007

Hi peeps — my apologies for being AWOL. I have had a cold lately and have been trying to sleep as much as possible. Sick days are not an option currently so every day I put my face on and go to work. The crazy part is that people keep telling me I don’t look […]

An Open Letter to Juice Beauty

November 28, 2007

Dear Juice Beauty, I love your products. Your Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream is absolute Holy Grail material for me. I like your concept, your ingredients and your responsible citizenship. My latest discovery in your line, the Green Apple Spf 15 moisturizer, is a great product. In fact, six months ago I said it could […]

Vanilla Bean Noel, A Year-Round Scent

November 13, 2007

I remember writing that my favorite Vanilla Bean Noel (originally a BBW scent) dupes were Coconut Hut’s and Cleanse Your Soul’s. I now have to add Skindecent to the list as I just tried her dupe. I brought the Skindecent Whipped Moisture Cream in Vanilla Bean Noel (aka VBN) for my trip to Savannah and […]

More On Savannah

November 11, 2007

As I mentioned in my first Savannah post, Paula Deen’s Lady and Sons actually lived up to the hype. On the’ advice of Karley (of Chic and Green Beauty Blog – she lived in Savannah a few years ago) we went there for Sunday brunch so that we could try a bit of everything. There […]

Slight Change in Blog Focus

November 9, 2007

As you may have noticed, I have changed around the layout of the blog. The most important change is that I have taken out any labels of specific store names or indie etailer names. Having the names as labels was making the list of labels terribly long and unwieldy. I was trying to pick and […]

More Bobbi — Best of Chocolate and Latest (Last?) Shimmerbrick

October 28, 2007

As I mentioned about a month ago, Bobbi Brown repackaged her Chocolate collection from last year into a darling little Best of Chocolate palette. It is adorable. I generally don’t like having lipsticks in palette form, but I have been waiting so long for a Chocolate re-launch (not buying the palette was one of my […]

Cocoa Pink and Guest Review

October 25, 2007

The latest new indie etailer I want to introduce you to is Cocoa Pink, which just recently opened. My friend Kimm told me about Ilona, Cocoa Pink’s owner and creator. They met on a soap forum and Kimm was telling Ilona that her 7 year old son has sensitive skin that reacts best to castile […]

Bath and Body Works Update

October 23, 2007

I hit BBW yesterday, despite the fact that almost nothing at that store (except for the edts) works for my fairly sensitive skin, I always love to go in there and browse. A lot of their scents are lovely, and generally indie etailers dupe them soon after. Therefore, I can usually find a BBW scent […]

Blissed Out at Bliss

October 22, 2007

Yesterday my friend Amy took me to a mecca for spa lovers, namely the Bliss Spa on 49th street. I got to enjoy their Classic Hot Cream Manicure and the Milk and Almond Pedicure. I don’t go to spas often because I tend to get my nail care and waxing done at typical New York […]

Beauty Books

October 20, 2007

So makeup is also about manufacturing and marketing – and reading “Flappers: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Woman who Made American Modern” was actually fascinating in terms of its discussion of the beauty industry. I had always assumed mass produced beauty came along about the time plastic did, namely sometime in […]

Rave for 100% Pure

October 20, 2007

So for months I have been wishing for natural organic and paraben free skincare products with lots of lavender and chamomille (for combating redness) and a healthy dose of green tea. Somehow, 100% Pure is very in sync with those same ingredients!! Hillary introduced me to this brand back when they were mainly a bath […]

Rut or Trend?

October 4, 2007

So lately things have been so busy with moving and work that I have been finding myself in a total makeup rut. During the week I wear neutrals, while on weekends I generally experiment with fun colors. Lately, however, the neutrals have become even more neutral/no-makeup looking (since I do the bare minimum, no pun […]
