I was in the market for a new nail polish and decided I would document the results of the one I purchased because there’s nothing worse than a nail polish that says it won’t chip but does anyway.

Just read an article today naming the top 10 makeup crimes women commit. While some I knew about other had me thinking, “Yikes! Do I do that?” I think I’m innocent but I may have a couple of misdemeanors on my record.

As Christmas grows near a young woman’s heart turns to how she may sucker others into buying her great beauty products. Oh—just kidding!

I have to share a product I was introduced to quite recently that has to be the best product I’ve ever used for dry/irritated skin.

Just like the foundation of a building needs to be strong the right makeup foundation plays a huge roll in how great (or not so great) your makeup looks. Too heavy and cakey and it’s going to look like a mask, too light and those flaws you were trying to conceal end up shining through anyway.

I read an article today about the all time favorite beauty products available on the market. Some oldies but goodies were on the list such as Vaseline, Pantene shampoo and even Herbal Essence got a mention. This got me thinking about my own personal favs and I thought I’d share them with you.

Feeling the pinch in these tough financial times? Most of us are but there’s one item that whose sales seem to spike when the money is tight. Lipstick. The term “Lipstick Index” was coined shortly after the 9/11 tragedy when the economy took a nosedive but sales of lipstick soared. The trends was then […]

Summer is long past us and in many places fall has already been replaced by wintery like weather. With Christmas a little over a month away it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to put your best hair forward for those holiday parties.

Want a fresh take on the smoky eye? Replace it with a purple haze according to Us magazine. Purple flatters all skin tones and gives your makeup a blast of color.

Got a few minutes to waste today? Here’s a fun little game you play at TotalBeauty.com. You get to guess the celebs attached to these seriously whacky finger nails.

Every beauty or makeup expert is saying the same thing—that glitter is the hot trend in makeup as the holiday season approaches. While this is no surprise (glitter always rears its shiny head come Christmas time) it left me wondering the same thing I do every year; what’s a person who hates excessive glitter to do?

It never ceases to amaze me the little inventions people come up with that make you want to smack your head and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

It wasn’t long ago that bob hairstyles were all the rage and women flocked to their stylists for this trendy hairstyle. As with all trends, though, another one always comes along to replace the current one.

I love a good hair dryer! In fact having a good hair dryer can make the difference between good hair days and bad ones. With the Bio Ionic iDry you can make those bad hair days disappear thanks to some pretty impressive technology.

Give your skin the TLC is deserves with Guinot Longue Vie Vital body care. This luxurious body cream smooths and firms the skin, leaving it feeling supple and soft.

Who says you need to work out at the gym to get buff? OK, so this won’t erase those couple of extra pounds you may have hanging around but the Kai Body Buffer will slough off that dead skin and leave you soft and supple.

Dry, parched skin can be a thing of the past with Laura Mercier Au Lait Souffle Body crème. This body crème is packed full of skin loving ingredients to leave you with smooth, soft skin without the greasy feeling.

Who says you can’t have perfect skin even if you weren’t born with it? Benefit’s Erase Paste turns tired and imperfect skin into a thing of beauty. It works to both brighten and camouflage all at the same time.

Say goodbye to stretch marks with the Klein Becker Night Care cream. The Strivectin cream works to smooth out stretch marks and skin discolorations and leave you with smooth even-toned skin.

This is a must have for the summer if ever there was one. The Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer protects your face from the sun while giving you light and natural coverage.

Finally—a way to lessen unwanted hair growth at home. Nono no! no! is an at home hair removal system that uses a technology called Thermicon which transfers heat to the hair and lessens its growth.

Wrinkles be gone! No one wants to look older than they are. Heck we don’t even want to look as old as we really are! Today’s skin goody is Bliss Youth as We Know It.

Bring us your wrinkles, your fine lines and your puffy skin. Not because I want them (I’ve got my own to deal with!) but because apparently Relastin Eye Silk can rid you of these horrible signs of aging.

All those in favor of some sexy new makeup say “eye”. Here we have the Dior 5-Color eye shadow in Sky Glow.

Until someone discovers the fountain of youth many women are in a never-ending search for the ultimate anti-aging cream. Well, Clarins may have just invented it with their Clarins Younger Longer Balm.

Personally, I love a beauty product that does double duty and in the case of Elemis Exotic Frangipani Moisture Melt it’s like three products in one. You can use this luxurious treatment oil to moisturize your body, deep condition your hair and even soften and moisturize the cuticles on your hands and feet. You’ve […]

Think those celebrities and models wake up with that super-shiny, healthy looking hair? Yeah, and those magazine covers aren’t air brushed either. The truth is getting your hair super shiny has little to do with how healthy your hair is and everything to do with the right hair products. Sure, you want your hair to be in good condition but if you really want it to shine then add a product like Frederic Fekkai Glossing cream.

If you’ve been unkind to your hair lately it’s time to make amends (and mend those split ends) with some Frederic Fekkai Conditioner. This luxurious conditioner is packed full of the moisturizers and proteins that make hair shiny and soft.

The problem with today’s busy lives is we don’t always have the time to eat as well as we should. If the effects of a poor diet are showing up on your hair (or in your brush!) try the Phyto Dietary supplements.

Hope in a Jar is touted as their miracle cream that gives hope to those battling the signs of aging (which is every darn one of us over the age of 30!).

I’ve been a Lush junky since I first discovered them about five years ago. There’s one on the other side of my city and, honestly, it’s the only thing that ever drags me out to that end of town at all! Lush’s Ocean Salt Cleanser is a yummy blend of fine and course sea salt that’s touch enough to slough off dead skin but gentle enough for everyday use.

Are you using a plain old bar of soap to wash yourself with in the shower or bath? If so…shame on you! You deserve much better than that. Instead of a drying bar of soap make your skin silky soft with Badedas Vital Bad Bath Gel.
