30 Day Challenge Days 1 & 2: Kiss My Face Shea Soy Facial Cleansing Bar and Cell Mate Face Creme with SPF 15

The first 2 days of my product detox challenge were pretty easy. I started on the weekend to give myself a chance to ease into things. I did pretty good, except one minor slip up – without even thinking about it, I put on deodorant. It’s such a part of my morning routine, that I [...]

The Only Eye Cream You’ll Ever Need? Rodial Glamtox Eye Light SPF 15

Every time a press release for Rodial’s Glamtox Eye Light SPF 15 eye cream came across my inbox, I’d casually ask my PR rep for a sample to try. She was always out! I knew she wasn’t blowing me off though. Every time I searched for Rodial products, Beauty.com was sold out (as of press [...]

Protect Your Skin With Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

During the cold dry months of the year, I reach for thick, heavy creams to help fight dry skin. My husband also suffers from dry skin, but he hates applying lotion.

I’ve started using little tricks to make sure my skin is protected, like using products that already contain an SPF, so I don’t have to remember to [...]

Lisa Hoffman has created some ingenious, single use, portable packettes of her popular spa beauty products. She has taken a line of products, put a dose of each one in a little plastic ampule and slipped the whole line into a ziplock plastic pouch. Can you say airplane travel friendly?
I recently went on a weekend [...]

Sleek and Exclusive: M Lab Anti-Agers

Harrods is definitely the most exclusive department store I’ve ever been too.  Look past the tourists milling around and the fun Christmas window displays (live ice skaters!) and you’ll find one of the best selections of luxury goods around.  While I must admit that my favorite place in Harrods is the food hall, perusing beauty [...]

Avon Pro-To-Go Lipstick

I’m a sucker for beauty products that come in innovative packaging.  When I saw Avon’s new Pro-To-Go Lipstick, I had to try it out.  The sleek little case has a slider on it that pops open the lid, pushes up the lipstick holder and then the lipstick comes out.
The lipstick itself goes on smooth and [...]
