Interview with Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Sebagh, the creator of the Dr. Sebagh skincare line, has worked with countless celebrities including Cindy Crawford and is one of the first doctors to use Botox for cosmetic purposes. I haven’t used his skincare line so I can’t speak to its efficacy, but he’s a wealth of knowledge so I was [...]

Interview with Emilie Prevel, Chief R&D Officer at Cellap Laboratoire Switzerland

I was beyond excited when I found out I would be able to interview Emilie Prevel, Chief R&D Officer at Cellap Laboratoire Switzerland! I mean how often do you get to speak to the brains behind some of the most luxurious skincare products!? Prevel has been hard at work on the Cellcosmet line, available exclusively [...]

Interview with Holistic Health Coach Robyn Youkilis

I met Robyn through a mutual friend and she’s a fantastic resource for all health-related questions. It frustrates me to no end how attentive you have to be to what you’re eating to avoid being “fooled.” So many food giants more or less pay to have various “health seals” put on their boxes and portion [...]

Interview with Bianca Jade aka MizzFit

Bianca Jade, aka MizzFit, and I initially connected over email because we’re both Cornell Alums who work in similar fields. When we first met in person, totally by chance, at a random Fashion Week event in February we made plans to have coffee and after spending some time with her discussing health and fitness I [...]

Interview with Jason Ascher, Barneys New York’s Beauty Guru

Barneys’ beauty guru…not a bad title! I met Jason Ascher a few weeks ago at a blogger event Barneys hosted where he discussed some of his all-time favorite products. Among his faves were Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15 and Hourglass Retractable Foundation Brush, both of which I use nearly everyday so I was immediately [...]

Lord & Taylor’s “Ultimate Face Lift”

On Tuesday night Lord & Taylor celebrated their flagship’s “Ultimate Face-Lift,” which entailed nearly a year of renovations. Given that when you walk into the department store the first thing you see is the cosmetics department, that’s where the bulk of the renovations were done. The most noticeable improvement is a lot more light. Windows [...]

Mom Snob Feature: Margaret de Heinrich of Omorovicza

You all know my new beauty obsession is Omorovicza Skincare and I just had to get to know the visionary, Margaret de Heinrich, behind the brand.  Inspired by the curative properties of Hungary’s thermal waters, Omorovicza is a labor of love created by Margaret and her husband, Stephen de Heinrich. Relaxing at Budapest’s ancient thermal [...]

Interview with Tim Martin, founder of iZO Cleanze

Even though I exercise on a regular basis and have a relatively healthy diet (I’m not into greasy food and love fruits and veggies, but I have an unshakable addiction to chocolate…and lots and lots of it…err!), and I don’t need to loose weight, I’ve been dying to try a liquid cleanse for months. The [...]

Scott “Body Bling” Barnes

Admittedly, as a fashion and style writer, I don’t often get the chance to interview beauty experts. But when I heard that Scott “Body Bling” Barnes was releasing About Face – Amazing Transformations Using the Secrets of the Top Celebrity Makeup Artist, a new book 240-page coffee table book featuring 20 dramatic makeovers, I was [...]
