Cor Silver Soap: Clean to the Cor
It’s hard to believe that a single soap can offer everything from cleaning to antibacterial protection, brightening, reducing pore size, exfoliating, and even providing anti-aging and SPF. Seriously, can one bar of soap really be this powerful? If it’s Cor Silver soap, then yes. This soap delivers, and it’s pretty amazing. The only claim a [...]
Frugal Snob: Target Debuts New Products and Brands
People think we have it all here in Manhattan when it comes to shopping, but we don’t have a Target which means we’re seriously deprived of some of the best picks when it comes to frugal snob beauty product shopping! I’m a huge fan of their exclusive, Nip + Fab (from the woman behind Rodial) [...]
Frugal Snob: Skinnygirl Face & Body
You always hear about celebrities and designers licensing out their name and then having very little involvement in the resulting products. While it’s possible that this is the case with Bethenny Frankel, I would be very surprised. She always stays true to her brand and seems to care deeply about what products she associates herself [...]
Belmont Two-Tier Vanity Tray: Sweet Storage
A treasured gift is often one that you are tempted to keep for yourself, but instead pass your found prize off to someone special. Belmont’s two-tiered vanity tray is that perfect gift for your mother, your wife (if you’re a husband looking for a great idea), or for me! I have a cabinet in my [...]
Rodial Life & Style and Holiday Gift Sets
This past summer Rodial founder Maria Hatzistefanis hosted an event to preview her Nip + Fab line, which is now at Target and while I was getting a sneak peak at that, I was also able to check-out her Life & Style range. Truth be told I don’t even know if I was supposed to [...]
Clarisea Clarifying Salt Scrub: Make Yourself Clear!
I am totally ready for my self-tanners and spray sessions! Not just because I’m eager to look beach-perfect in leg-baring dresses, but because my exfoliated and polished skin is in prime tanning condition. No, I haven’t been indulging in extra spa sessions. I have been using Clarisea‘s Clarifying Salt Scrub since February. This is a [...]
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Body Bar Soap: So Fresh and So Clean
I bought Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Body Bar for my husband and promptly used it myself. I’m usually a shower gel kind of girl, but after my workout, the crisp scent enticed me. Well, I loved it! The tee tree oil tingled and invigorated my exhausted body, and the little exfoliating bits removed all that [...]
Tom Ford Launches Body Products
Forget about his re-entry into womenswear because as far as I’m concerned the best thing that Tom Ford has done since leaving Gucci and YSL is developing his beauty line! First there were his fragrances (I’ve been nothing short of obsessed with White Suede since its launch), then were were his lipsticks (I wouldn’t dare [...]
A Visit to the TOCCA Showroom
I wish I had brought my camera to my visit to TOCCA’s showroom last week (see some BlackBerry snaps below), because it was stunning! Located on the same block as Comme des Garcons and Balenciaga, it gave both stores a serious run for their money. Everything down to their antique, miss-matched platters and their Sant [...]
Olivella Bath and Shower Gel – Molto Bene!
This is a luxury Italian bath and shower gel at a drugstore Frugal Snob price. Made with the highest quality of Italian virgin olive oil – it looks edible in the bottle – it’s packed with natural anti-oxidants and a high concentration of vitamins. In four scents (original, lavender, vanilla, and orange), I would recommend [...]
