Jo Malone for Mother’s Day
I can’t think of anything better to give to Mom than Jo Malone! They offer personalized gift assistance at the counter from a Jo Malone specialist and then will wrap it for you in signature Jo Malone packaging. For example, if your mum adores fruity and citrus scents and loves bath products, you can choose [...]
ELLEN SIROT HAND PERFECTION
Who better than the most successful hand model in the world to develop a system to help us protect our precious paws!?!? Hand model Ellen Sirot developed a hand saving system so we can achieve model hands daily. I got her Hand Perfection lotion and moisturizing cleanser in time for the multiple hand washing I’ve [...]
Lancome Genifique
Not since their vibrating mascara has a Lancome product gotten as much hype as their Lancome ‘Genifique’ Youth Activating Concentrate ($78). The elixir has ten years of research behind it so there’s good reason for the commotion. It’s the first product inspired by genes (hence the name ‘genifique’), and it has seven international patents. That [...]

YSL Master Class with Val Garland

Garland introduced a host of YSL’s signature products along with the new summer looks. While Garland demonstrated how to apply all [...]
Geisha Lips: Snob or Slob?
Up until last week I was all about Lady Gaga — her music, her style, her makeup — just found her to be so refreshingly different. Now though her stock is plummeting in my book. These geisha lips are not doing it for me and her outfits (and that tea cup!), are loosing their innovative [...]

Below are some of the highlights– • 80% of men and 79% [...]
What do you think of yellow nails?
I am not a fan of the color yellow. I know it was the imperial color of ancient China and only the emperor was allowed to wear it but yellow is just not the most flattering on me. Plus anytime you hear ‘yellow’ to describe a body part, you know it’s bad news. Like, “did [...]
