I originally wrote this for my blog last year but with the arrival of warmer weather I figured that now is a perfect time to post it here as a public service reminder. There is no need to expose others to the potential blinding effects of the day-glo white pasty skin with all the great sunless … [Read more...]
Lacura Skincare: Fountain of Youth at a Bargain Price
April 15, 2009
I always figured I'd be the kind of woman who would happily embrace the aging process. You know, the type who insists "age is just a number" and who celebrates every single laugh line as the sign of a life well lived. But then, I hit my 30s. That was when Father Time began marching … [Read more...]
Ugly, Even With Make-Up
April 13, 2009
Continuing on in my quest to be Mama Chic to you younger Chic-lets, I offer you this beauty tip: Unhappy women are ugly, even with make-up and cute sandals. It’s true. You know it is. When a woman is happy on the inside it somehow makes its way out through the pores and onto the … [Read more...]
The Benefit of Benetint
April 9, 2009
I find that as Spring hits and the temperatures rise I want to wear less make up along with less clothes. I switch to tinted moisturiser instead of foundation and I've often had an issue with powder blushes either being too overpowering or sitting funny on my skin. Enter Benetint by Benefit. This is … [Read more...]
On (false) Eyelashes
April 9, 2009
If you were being forced to leave your house, but allowed time to apply ONE item of makeup, what would you choose? Hands down, I’d choose mascara, even over concealer. It makes my face.

Recently I was given the opportunity to try Biocollasis Advanced Eye Serum and Eye Cream. I'm always a sucker for good eye products.

Who Better To Know About Concealer Than A Man?
April 3, 2009
About 3 years ago, I discovered something on my face. Upon climbing to that mid-thirties age group, I saw something staring back at me in the mirror that I had never seen before. Dark circles. Under my eyes. Raccoon- looking, sleep deprived, sad dark circles. I have always used … [Read more...]
Spring Wardrobe Essential: The White Button-Down Shirt
April 1, 2009
Read any list of the "must-have" pieces every woman should have in her wardrobe and you'll always find the white button-down shirt near the top. But until recently, I never owned one. The reason for this is two-fold. First, I have young children. Wearing a crisp, white shirt is akin … [Read more...]
