I grew up with a mother who slathered me down as a child with lotions, potions and oils. That must be the reason that I HAVE to feel moisturized at all times. I go kookoo-for-cocoa puffs crazy if my skin is dry. Like insane in the membrane kinda crazy. I have tried every kind of product you can … [Read more...]
We’re Off to See The Wizard – Revlon’s Skinlights Face Illuminating Powder
March 27, 2009
Now y'all know by now that I LIKE shiny. Which is why when I finally came out of my new- Mamahood coma about a year ago and discovered that LO AND BEHOLD, a healthy, shimmering glow had finally arrived as a cosmetological THANG, and I could now buy products that'd lustre me up good every day, not … [Read more...]
Fancy Dancy Nails
March 26, 2009
I have to admit, I love the look of a French Manicure for special occasions. (Okay, any occasion.) I used to get fake faux nails for high school dances and cheer leading events, and then for my wedding. But who can afford that now? Plus, I'm liable to scratch one of my kids, which just … [Read more...]

The Solution
March 22, 2009
A few weeks ago I confessed that I'd dumped a large sum of money on a department store product (two of them, actually) that the sales clerk promised would rid me of the winter dry skin flakies, but I was sorely underwhelmed. So one night I was perusing beauty blogs and I came across a post about a … [Read more...]
L’Oreal De-Crease Eye Shadow Base
March 20, 2009
For years, people, YEARS, I've been looking at people's eye make-up and wondering, "Why does theirs always look DONE, while mine looks so UNDERDONE?" I'd buy a pretty color shadow and rush home to try (again) to apply it to my lids and have it look like the color in the package, only to end up with … [Read more...]

Tame the Hairy Beast!!
March 17, 2009
I am hairy. Unfortunately, it is true. I normally need to shave every day if I want to have smooth legs and underarms. We won't even get into other places. If I won the lottery, the first thing on my list would be to have laser hair removal on my entire body. Since that is probably not going to … [Read more...]
