I discovered this new Japanese line in a small beauty boutique that just opened up near my house. Now if you know the area, you will understand how exciting it is to have a new store that actually has cool stuff! Dr.Ci:Labo is a very extensive line, but there were two products that quickly caught [...]

Dr. Murad’s The Water Secret: This Really Holds Water

I have been a consistent “eight glasses of water a day” girl since college, so I was a bit disturbed to learn that I may be drinking too much water and flushing out nutrients and minerals in my body not to mention beneficial bacteria! According to Dr. Murad and his new book, The Water Secret: [...]

DDF Skincare Analysis: Technology is Skin-Deep

I had an in-depth skin analysis from DDF (Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula) at Sephora during Fashion Week.

I have to thank Roy, the lovely skincare expert who helped me discover I’ve been treating my skin [...]

Raw Foodist Annette Larkins: Raw and Fabulous

It’s hard to believe it, but Annette Larkins is actually 70 years old. As in, in these photos right here, she is 70! She claims she has had no plastic surgery (you can tell – you don’t get that glow from having lots of work done), even though she is not opposed to it, so [...]

Murad Rejuvenating Lift for Neck and Décolleté: Lift? Really?

I was so excited to receive Murad‘s Rejuvenating Lift for Neck (and more) since chicken necks run in my family! (Writer Nora Ephron titled her book of essays I Feel Bad About My Neck – I’m afraid that feeling might be in my future!) However, after a week of use, I didn’t notice the promised [...]

If you’ve experienced the life changing Peau Vierge you’ll understand my excitement. This month, Le Metier de Beaute will debut its skincare line at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

The Five Essentials Featuring Amy Keller Laird

Beauty editors are a dime a dozen. Amy Keller Laird is one in a million. The Deputy Editor and Beauty Director of Allure is not just a verifiable cosmetics guru, she is hysterically funny and charming. I met her on Twitter, after getting captivated by her irreverent musings – she refers to herself as Pegasus [...]
