Prescriptives Mineral Make Up

I am on a quest to try all the new liquid mineral make up on the market right now. It just feels so much better on my skin and I am less prone to break outs. Prescriptives is expanding its mineral portfolio and launching a liquid mineral makeup, All Skins Mineral Makeup. This will be [...]

Mermaid worthy waves

This summer, splash into the latest trend: mermaid-like waves. This glamorous yet laid-back style is perfect for all summer occasions, whether you’re lounging on the beach in the Hamptons or hitting the town in Manhattan. I love nothing more than Rapunzel like waves cascading down one side of the face– it’s the ultimate sex siren [...]

Sabon Organic Line

I live right by Sabon’s Upper East Side location in NYC so I’m fortunate enough to get a whiff of their delicious products every time I pass their open door. I’m partial to the brand because not only do their products smell great and work effectively, they’re owned by Israelis (I’m a nice NYC Jewish [...]

Motivated Beauty: Motives by Loren Ridinger

The most fun part of being a beauty blogger is playing with make up under the guise of ‘working’. I reserve Saturday mornings for beauty parties in my bathroom (and yes, I’m the only guest but I have enough fun for 100!) and I send my hubby off with our son to golf with a [...]

Get the Celeb Look: Modern Shag

Photos from people.com I love the modern shag! If bangs didn’t require so much maintenance (and if I wasn’t worried about hair in my face causing a breakout), I would jump at this cut. I know a lot of people have or are thinking about getting this look, so I asked Woodley & Bunny’s co-owner [...]

COR Silver Soap Update: 30 day review and COR Silver Eye Cream

After reading my review last month, the nice folks at COR sent me 4 mini sample size soaps that would last a few months.  I diligently used it nightly (no matter how late hubby and I got home from date nights) and have determined the following: 1. This is the best cleansing soap in the [...]

Frugal Snob: New Launches from Vichy

Vichy has just come-out with three new products: Aqualia Thermal Light Fortifying & Soothing 24Hr Hydrating Care ($27), Aqualia Thermal Mat Fortifying & Soothing 24Hr Hydrating Gel with Anti-Shine Effect ($25), and Normaderm Pro Mat Hydrating Care. I love Vichy because they’re affordable, effective and trust-worthy (they’re tied with La Roche-Posay when it comes to [...]

Bobbi Brown Fall Nudes Collection

Bobbi Brown invented the nude make up revolution decades ago– since then, many copy cat brands have followed suit but in my opinion, there’s nothing like the original. This Fall, Bobbi introduces a fresh nude palette (available in July, I can’t wait!). “Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for [...]
