MAC Fafi

At first glance I was completely frightened by MAC’s Fafi collection (from the photos of the models with brightly painted faces). I was just discussing my junior high school horror stories in the 80′s with you guys and then this showed up at my door. Visions of my Souxie and the Banshees eyeliner with blue [...]

Paula Dorf Cruel Free Brushes

I am a serious serious snob when it comes to brushes. I only use Shu Uemura natural hair, nothing else compares and nothing else will do. So this is huge for me to recommend another kind of brush and not only that, synthetic ones! Yikes!!! But that’s how good these are. I tried these because [...]

Perfect Sense – No Mess Paraffin Gloves

I have one of those paraffin vats that you need to melt paraffin wax in before using. Total mess! And I only do it once in a while so it’s not like I need a constant vat of hot wax going at all times so when I do want to use it, I have to [...]

Chloe by Chloe

My friend Ginger went nuts over the new Chloe fragrance, she saw it in one of my magazines and smeared it all over her arm one night (I always wondered who’d actually open those flaps and rub it all over themselves- now I know. I never do this because who knows if some pyscho added [...]

Cetaphil: The Miracle Cream

I love Cetaphil. I know when you hear about Cetaphil, you probably think “grandmother”, but I swear it is the best lotion I have ever used. I learned about Cetaphil from my Aunt Nannette who has always been one of my premier role models. She has this impeccable way of always getting what she wants [...]

Snob Worthy Links

Bag Snob has the fabulous loves the Spirit of Cindy Chao! Tot Snob has the most adorable baby Leyla Bag by True Religion, a great compliment to -gasp- Jeans! Bella Sugar has a showdown between

YSL “Mondrian’s Collection”

UPDATE: Congrats to Kim- our chicken cutlet wearing Beauty Snob! We discussed amongst ourselves for days and none of our beauty editors can imagine dropping a silicone filled chicken cutlet on the dance floor. YIKES! I am young enough to remember the ’80s with fondness (how much did I love Madonna and Culture Club?) but [...]

February Pop Quiz #2

UPDATE: Congrats to Chiara! This is Eva Longoria (Parker)! Please check your junk mail folder because the last winner missed out as our notification email was sent there. Our beauty of the day has gorgeous olive skin that she keeps lightly bronzed throughout the year. Do you know who she is? Leave your answer in [...]

Drew Barrymore: Cover Girl Beauty

My favorite cover girl of the month is Drew Barrymore for Vogue. I actually did not recognize her at first glance but her high cheekbones and bedroom eyes gave her away even though the impossibly toned arms and long tresses are not her usual. She looked like she stepped out of a Bottecelli painting! The [...]

Marion Cotillard’s Red Carpet Hair

How gorgeous did Marion Cotillard, Best Actress Winner, look on Sunday night? Robert Vetica of Frederick Fekkai tended to her cascading wave of tresses. THE LOOK: To get Marion ’s modern day Veronica Lake look, Robert first blew out her hair smooth in the desired direction to create the deep left part. The left side [...]
