CHANEL NOIR ET OR PARIS-SHANGHAI MAKEUP COLLECTION
I don’t know if gold is your color but if it is, CHANEL makes the best gold shadow and gold shimmer polish on the planet! Not that I’d wear my gold polish with a black french tip– it’s too dragon lady creepy for someone my age but if you’re under 30, go for it! NOIR [...]
Mario Badescu Moisturizers
I’m usually the one to introduce my mother to new beauty products because she stays very true to her small arsenal of brands. When it came Mario Basdecu however she introduced the brand to me. While at her friends apartment she used some hand moisturizer and became so taken with the scent that she stopped [...]
Frugal Snob: Clinique “All About Eyes” Serum Eye Massage Roller
I have several eye rollers (it’s the newest trend in eye care) and the latest, from Clinique, is probably the least expensive of them all. At $25.50 it works just as well as the more expensive brands! As with the others, I keep this one in the fridge and it works wonders morning after a [...]

Frugal Snob: Caldrea for Target
Growing-up in Manhattan it was quite the adjustment when I went upstate to Cornell for college (I didn’t even know how to drive at that point!). While I missed a lot of city things, Ithaca had one thing that Manhattan didn’t — Target (ooo how I miss being a 5 minute drive away from Target!). [...]

Say It Isn’t True! L’Oreal to shut down all Shu Uemura USA operations
I am almost sobbing as I write this. One of my favorite brands, Shu Uemura, is being shut down in the US by the cosmetic giant L’Oreal. I am heartbroken by the news! Shu Uemura makes the best eye lash curlers, make up brushes, foundations, cleansing oils and eye shadows! Need I go on? I’m [...]
Realfood Organics – A Snob’s Daily Nutrition
I am the worst when it comes to vitamins. I go through spurts of being diligent about my vitamin intake but then a trip out of town throws me out of whack! I got sick for the first time in years when I returned from 18 days in Europe. I decided to start on vitamins [...]
Frugal Snob: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start
I went to a wonderful event two weeks ago at The Standard Hotel (their restaurant/bar/18th floor lounge is a must-see for anyone living or visiting NYC!), where John Frieda’s team was hosting a luncheon to introduce some of their latest products. The space was decked-out with luscious flowers and John Frieda products arranged around the [...]
