Today we step away from the academic side of the Beauty Ingredients Snob series to talk about straight up beauty. Today is all about beauty, drama and more beauty! Well I suppose that’s not entirely true because I suppose the ingredients in these products play an important role as well. If they didn...

Lately, you've probably noticed how incredibly into aromatherapy I've been. I keep writing about it because I'm so impressed with it. I remember back when it was kind of poo-poo'd within the industry or at least within the population as a whole. But then I would think; there is indeed...

I told you I would reveal my incredible Elizabeth Arden regimen and here it is... Cleanser: Elizabeth Arden 2 in 1 Cleanser from the Basic Skincare Line . For those of you who know me…I like to find the best cleanser that doesn’t dry out my already dry skin and I refuse to pay a ridiculous amount of...

Each product in the line is the ultimate in efficacy and performance using pharmacopeia and medicinal traditions...

Have any of you ever tried a product line called Nuxe Paris ? It’s an incredible natural beauty line for those of us who love a natural, youthful look. I like a clear, smooth and golden, bronzed complexion. I like my face to look clean and simple. I would much rather use a good concealor, bronzer, bodacious...

The other day my good friend was telling me about her humiliating experience at her weekly book club a while back. A new member attending for the first time happened to know my girlfriend from years back and didn’t know that she was a regular member. When Melissa showed up to the meeting she was excited...

About two years ago I lost 500 dollars. I was devastated because I thought that possibly somebody had stolen it when I had gone out on the bay to kayak with my friends.
