  • Beauty Beat: Mascara Madness!

    Maybelline’s newest, Define-A-Lash, hits stores this week with all the miraculous claims a mascara can have.

They have improved the formulas the brushes, the … More

  • Beauty Beat: Natural Beauty

    There are a huge number of personal care products that claim to be natural, but are they? Currently, these products are not regulated in the U.S or the E.U. – they may contain less than 10% natural ingredients and almost none are 100% natural. How do you know … More

    What’s so great about Dead Sea Minerals anyway? The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet, and is the deepest saltwater lake in the world. Along with the high sodium content, there is a large concentration of other minerals present. I am … More

  • Beauty Beat: A Healthy Body

    I have been thinking so much lately about nutrition and health with my New Year campaign to get healthier and with the recent death of yet another runway model. Starvation, bulimia, drug use – it is all dangerous and it does nothing to enhance your beauty, believe me. … More

  • Beauty Beat: Bold Brows

    Well, it looks like big bold eyebrows are here to stay for awhile if we listen to the designers at the Fall ‘07 runway shows going on this week. I am allowing mine to grow in a little, but it is hard for me, as it is not my … More

    To battle the dry lips of winter, there is no better solution than good old fashioned (and inexpensive!) petroleum jelly. In fact, petroleum jelly is good for just about every dry body part you have! A tip from a friend is to scrub petroleum jelly into your dry … More

  • Beauty Beat: Beautiful Winter Skin

    This is the time of year my skin looks its best. No heat opening my pores wide to accept the day’s dirt, no hot sun drying me up like a raisin. The cold weather closes my large pores tight and my pale skin is the norm of the … More

  • Beauty Beat: Beauty Resolutions

    Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2007? The rest of the world has been making resolutions, and I have been doing what I do best – putting off making them – but it’s time. Aside from the boring resolution which is perpetually on my list … More

  • Beauty Beat: Holiday Prep

    Hopefully you have your shopping done and are busy with not much more than eating your way through the holiday treats made by you and your loved ones. A good thing to do over the next week is to make room for Santa by digging through your beauty drawers … More

  • Beauty Beat: Bring Home the Spa!

    There is nothing that can make you feel beautiful like a trip to the spa – so why not bring the spa home for Christmas? Luxury spa products are the next big trend in beauty, and there is no time like the present to take advantage and ask for … More

  • Beauty Beat: Layering Fragrance

    What’s on your Christmas list this year? If you are like me, you ask for some of the great things you would love to have but can’t or won’t spend the money on yourself. Some of these things for me are the bath and body products that accompany … More

  • Truly NOT Scrumptious!

    Now, y’all know I try not to rant too much. I save most of my rantings for Hsien. Well, and for my hubby. ;) But tell me what you think about this.
    See my post I wrote for Glam about Winter Nail Care, posted here yesterday? … More

  • Beauty Beat: Winter Nail Care

    As you may have noticed, your nails need extra attention in the cold weather to prevent chips and breaks due to brittleness. Switch to a base coat for brittle nails, and keep your nails polished (1 coat of base coat, 2 coats of color and a top coat). … More

  • Too Much Stuff?

    How many products is too many? Is there such a thing? My nightly routine is a cleanser, toner, 2 serums, and eye cream and a moisturizer – and then my Rare Minerals. In the morning I use a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, primer, and then foundation and the rest of … More
