Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals Collection

I have had a fear of coral colored cosmetics since I was very young. It was 1983 and I was 13 years old. My BFF was a honey blonde with peaches and cream complexion and she decided to make me over. After applying coral (orange) blush and lipsticks on me she proudly showed me a [...]

Tarte EmphasEYES ™ High Definition Eye Pencil

The Tarte EmphasEYES™ High Definition Eye Pencil is probably one of the only pencil liners that I have been able to use.  It is a super skinny retractable eye pencil, so it never gives a fat dull line.  I typically never use a pencil liner because with most of them, to get a nice smooth [...]

Benefit: “Stay Don’t Stray” does as told

I am not one to use shadow base because most products are thick and dry and I think it’s very taxing on your eyelids to have too many layers of make up schlacked on.  However, I received a sampe of “Stay Don’t Stray” and was tempted to try it because I have greasy eyelids and [...]

Jack Black Face Buff Energizing Scrub

My boyfriend is a pretty low key person and doesn’t really do much maintenance on himself.  But with the winter coming in his face has been looking really rough and I just couldn’t bear the sight of it any longer.  It was one of those things where it looked so dry and painful that I [...]

InStyle Golden Globes Beauty Lounge

Awards season means pampering lounges for celebrities as they prepare for the big day. VIP guests, including moi, received hair and makeup make overs and manicures at the In Style beauty lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Carlito Ortiz did an amazing job turning my hair into a wild and curly bombshell [...]

MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Concealer

This is probably the best concealer that I have ever tried. The MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Concealer is a waterproof, full coverage conceal, and when they say waterproof they mean waterproof. I use it under my eyes and it conceals everything and stays put. I don’t need to set it with powder or [...]

Godiva Launches Candles

I live a handful of blocks from a Godiva shop and it’s a near-daily struggle to restrain myself from their decadent, smooth, chocolaty goodness (and those chocolate-dipped strawberries!). I’m not saying that candles could ever, ever, EVER be a substitute for chocolate which has forever been my weakness, but if they could the just-launched ones [...]
