Beautiful Things My Mother Taught Me


Mom and me, circa 1979 Disclosure: This post is sponsored by CoverGirl. Mother’s Day is this Sunday and I’m so excited. Not just because Mr. Spoiled Pretty and my son, Westley, are treating me to a decadent brunch. But because it’s an opportunity to celebrate my hero, Andrea Stamps. I must admit that until two years ago, Mother’s Day was just another CONTINUE READING

Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candles: 2 for $22


At Christmastime, I agonized over what to get my son's daycare teachers. There are 12 of them - and even though he has his two main teachers, they all have interaction with him and take excellent care of him. So I needed to buy 12 gifts to show my appreciation, without breaking the bank. $10 each seemed doable, except CONTINUE READING

IMAN Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15


As a beauty expert, I’m embarrassed by how late I am to the BB Cream party. In the past year, so many friends and colleagues have asked me about BB Creams—what’s the buzz, which brands are the best, etc. —and they would look at me funny when I admitted to not having tried BB Creams yet. I mean, they CONTINUE READING

CoverGirl Outlast Brilliant Shine Nail Gloss in Vio-last


I’m very fickle about my fingernails. Before I paint my nails or get them professionally did, I spend a inordinate amount of time pondering my polish options. I consider the season, recent trends, my wardrobe that week and anywhere special I might go. But despite all of this planning, I’m usually over my polish choice before it even dries. Not CONTINUE READING

My New Arm Candy: Rebecca Minkoff Swing Bag


After beauty products, handbags are my secondary addiction. But when it comes to arm candy, I have discriminating taste. For me, the perfect handbag seamlessly marries fashion with function, is handcrafted from high-quality materials, has really unique hardware and is classic but edgy - all at the same time. I don't like to carry the of-the-moment "it" bag. I CONTINUE READING

Fafi Winner Is Over The Moon About Her Prize

fafi+005 Fafi Winner Is Over The Moon About Her Prize
When I was just a wee beauty junkie in undergrad, I worked at the school library. And every payday, my BFF and I would go to CVS and blow half of our paychecks on cosmetics – I was a huge fan of Revlon lipsticks and nail polishes. So when I learned that the Fafi Giveaway winner was a college student, it warmed my heart.

Yesterday, she sent me the following email to tell me how much fun she’s having with Fafi:

So I just finished playing with the Fafi set (I couldn’t wait until this evening, so I broke ‘em out between classes) and I must say that everything is AMAZING.

The Lipglasses are lovely and sparkly, and the Strawbaby Lipstick is just dark enough to be sassy without being too bold for wearing during the day. The Paint Pots are FANTASTIC – I must say, I’m a little bit in love with both Perky and Girl Friendly, and they both result in such a nice, smooth color on your eyes that I just can’t get enough of them. I can see them being super-hot with the black eye kohl and some insanely black mascara so they pop, because like Strawbaby, they’re just subdued enough to be sassy and wearable at the same time.

I’m OVER THE MOON about everything in the set and completely stoked to try out some of the white Fascinating Eye Kohl, so I’ll definitely be trying some experiments with how it works. If anyone has any suggestions for white eyeliner, let me know, because I’m all over that! Thanks so much!!!

felixreybag Felix Rey Giveaway Winner Writes Back
Amber, winner of the Felix Rey Giveaway, emailed me to say thanks for her prize. Here’s what she had to say:

So, I’ve been using my totally gorgeous cosmetics bag from Felix Rey this past week and it is absolutely fabulous. I cannot get over how perfect it is and how pretty the floral print is! It’s bigger than a typical cosmetics bag which is PERFECT for me, because all of my beauty tools actually fit. Thank you so much for the amazing contest, and you tell Felix Rey or post on your blog that I am absolutely thrilled with my prize!!! The clear plastic-y outside material is perfect so I don’t worry about staining the bag with makeup or getting it wet. Basically, it’s just what I needed!

Felix Rey is available at shopbop.com, neimanmarus.com, saksfifthavenue.com, and bergdorfgoodman.com.

Water is your skin’s best friend. But those plastic water bottles are no friend of the earth. In fact, Americans add over 30 million plastic water bottles to our nation’s landfills everyday. And I won’t even get into those icky chemicals that plastic bottles release into your “pure” H2O.

Using reusable bottles – like these from SIGG – greatly help reduce unnecessary environmental waste caused by plastic water bottles.

Designed to fit your on-the-go lifestyle, SIGG ultra lightweight water bottles are available in a wide array of colors and designs, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your personality. Created from a single piece of aluminum, SIGG Lifestyle Water Bottles are rugged, crack-resistant and completely reusable and recyclable. The interior lining is 100% leak-proof and combats residue build-up, so it’s easy to clean and ensures that all you taste is the water.
