Fab Find: SEED Bodycare Products

January 21, 2010

Review: Everyday Minerals Intensive Fair Concealer & Mint Color Corrector

October 21, 2009

Coming full-circle: Lauren Hutton Naturals Face Disc

October 7, 2009

Things really do come full-circle, and trying out Lauren Hutton’s makeup line reminded me of that! When my baby teeth finally gave way to my “big girl” teeth, and the last quarter had been left under my pillow by the tooth fairy, I had kind of awkward teeth for a little girl– or at least [...]

Public Service Announcement: Are you that girl with the overpowering perfume?

September 1, 2009

It never fails. I see comments like these at least once a week– if not more, on Twitter and Facebook: “Will someone please declare it illegal to wear perfume in this office?” “If she was going to douse herself with perfume, why couldn’t it at least have been with something gooooood?” “largest. headache.
