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.

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.

mac+halloween2008 MAC Halloween 2008
Halloween is just a few weeks away. Do you know what you’ll be this year? Why resort to cliches like ‘scary witch’ or ‘sexy nurse’ when MAC has ten Halloween inspired face charts with step-by-step instructions? Behold…the power of makeup.

 MAC Halloween 2008
Amphibian: A cool blue pool of shimmery aqua-reflections create your water sprite look. Float through the parade. Do the Wave.

night+bloom MAC Halloween 2008
Night Bloom: Fantasy blooms at midnight. Beautiful and expressive. This exotic floral arrangement will likely attract a few B’s (that’s boys).

colour+spill MAC Halloween 2008
Colour Spill: Colourful, minimal, abstract, modern, this Colour Spill loves to hang out where art’s the thing. If this is your canvas, your best accessory might be a frame.

tronika MAC Halloween 2008
Tronika: Part Robot, with a glimpse of Human, Tronika shows she’s hard-wired for Halloween techno-glamour.

tribal MAC Halloween 2008
Tribal: A striking mask of universal symbols. For all those new-age tribalists who consider Halloween a ritual.

shes+a+doll MAC Halloween 2008
She’s A Doll: Wide-eyed and with apple cheeks! A dolly mix of cutie and sweetie. Adorable!

woody MAC Halloween 2008
Woody: A natural beauty. A woodsy nymph. Adroitly drawn lines in earthy organic tones articulate the look of wood. A tree-mendous look for eco-girls and -boys.

space+diva MAC Halloween 2008
Space Diva: She comes from Out There. Her glittering metallic spaced-out looks make her a sexy, enigmatic rave at any Halloween party.

skull+meister MAC Halloween 2008

Ken Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color Drops

Posted on by daneen in Hair Color, Video | 1 Comment

ken+paves+boost+up+color+drops Ken Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color DropsAs soon as I heard about Ken Paves Healthy Hair Boost Up Color Drops, I added it to my ‘Needed This, Like, Yesterday’ list.

Boost Up Color Drops can be used to extend salon hair colorings and keep color fresh – or to instantly brighten, darken or add warmth to your regular hair color. In addition to its color enhancing properties, the product also moisturizes, invigorates, and conditions and replenishes lost protein. The best part? One shampoo and it’s back to the old you. “It’s like cosmetics for your hair,” Paves says.

Boost Up Color Drops are available in six shades: Beige, Black, Brown, Honey, Platinum and Red.

Get a .96 oz bottle for $39.95. Or purchase the Color Booster Explorer Kit from HSN (which includes a full-sized bottle of the Boost Up Color Drops plus shampoo, conditioner, shine serum and hair spray from Ken Paves’ new Healthy Hair line) for the same price. This is a no-brainer.

Healthy Hair products are also sold at Henri Bendel. And sometime soon, you’ll see this line popping up at Beauty.com, Macy’s, Ulta, and fine salons near you!
