The Tragedy Of Greece's Referendum3 Jul 2015 | 1:08 pmThe person who says "I'm voting no" has a point. Not the person who says it out of blind and thoughtless rage. He's just an idiot. But the person who doesn't want his "yes" to be interpreted as an absolution of what happened in the past five years or as an advanced affirmation of the continuation of the same policy without corrections. Or the person that says that they don't want their "yes" to be taken as a vote of doubt towards a government that has only been in power for six months, or much worse, as a vote of confidence towards the old politicians that are ready to return to the arena.

In the buff: nude nail polish is trending for summer14 May 2015 | 10:00 pmIf you're still searching for your signature summer 2015 mani/pedi polish color, look to your own natural nails. Nude nail polish is a huge trend, and–truth be told–it's such an easy color to wear that practically anyone can do it.

For those of us who are super fair, nude nail polishes have the added benefit of making hands exude a healthy glow without sunless tanner. Pick a shade that matches your real…

It's especially important as we are in the thick of the summer. I have yet to find a good primer at the drugstore until now. COVERGIRL recently launched Outlast All-Day Primer and it…
Top 10 SPF's for Face.30 Jun 2015 | 7:00 amSimply put, you need to wear sunscreen everyday. And your face you needs a different sunscreen than your body.

How to Not Be a Sweaty Mess This Weekend3 Jul 2015 | 12:00 pmWe don't know what your local forecast has in store for the weekend, but we are certain that you don't want to end up with your makeup running down your face by the end of any outdoor plans on your calendar. Use these tips to making sure your makeup doesn't have a meltdown. 1. Start with a mattifying product. This will help absorb the oil that your skin produces in heat that adds to the whole slide-offing effect. One to try: Boots Botanics Shine Away Mattifying Day Cream ($13.99, drugstore.com). 2. If your waterproof or sweat-proof mascara still runs, give a tube-style one a go. These…

Over the years the now-official presidential candidate has long been scrutinized for her constantly changing 'dos. Though lately it looks like she settled in on a classic blond bob, she still pokes fun at the idea of her hair having any political impact with the help of her social media accounts. On Twitter, her bio includes "hair icon" and "pantsuit aficionado," and now she's created a Pinterest page dedicated to "hairstyle inspiration"—among other things. Of course, we won't hold our breath waiting for Clinton to actually…

Sample of the Day - July 20153 Jul 2015 | 10:58 amRecently I sampled Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la Route du Mexique. I will say that I enjoy this more than the original, the recent version that is. At the opening I didn't get that blast of sour citrus/bergamot which could be slightly potent and overbearing. I also got less of that leather/animalistic note, it was there but subdued. As for the vanilla, it was a lot more pronounced in this one: sweeter, sugary, and not too powdery. The drydown leans into the gourmand territory slightly as there was a little of bit of chocolate and caramel. The summer heat actually helped this project more…

Sneak Peek: Becca Mineral Blushes Photos & Swatches3 Jul 2015 | 11:00 am(Click to Enlarge) Here are eight shades of Becca Mineral Blush ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) that I bought when I spotted them on Sephora this past week. There is a ninth blush, Damselfly that has been out forever, but it is out of stock and I'm not certain when or if it will be coming back into stock… which I've apparently reviewed before (in 2012), so I'll try to see if I still have it and redo swatches. From what I can tell, the range has gone through a slight packaging and labeling update, but the ingredients don't seem to have changed from existing shades when…

Japanese Cosmetics According to Allure- A Quick Roundup30 Jun 2015 | 11:35 amA couple of months ago Allure had a slideshow of Japanese cosmetics the magazine claimed "Will change your routine forever". I liked a previous list of Korean products, and I'm a huge fan of Asian beauty in general, so I did some further investigating. And shopping. I didn't buy all thirteen items, and I added a couple of others for good measure, since I was ordering through Amazon and their "you might also like" feature is scarily effective. Here are my impressions of the stuff I tried:Kanebo Suisa Beauty Clear Powder. Individually-packed doses of cleansing powder. You pour it into your…

Five Recent Product Disappointments29 Jun 2015 | 11:41 amIt's been a long time since I've done an underachievers list of shame. I guess I've been extra lucky or incredibly choosy with the makeup and cosmetics I've chosen to test. Almost everything has been good and found its use in my rotation or my skincare routine. Except for these five:1. Nature Republic Avocado Sheet Mask. I'm a mask addict and try to use them at least five times a week. I even have the Mask Maven subscription through BeautequeMonthly.com. As a matter of fact, this avocado mask came in my subscription box, which was otherwise brilliant. Except for this pore-clogging nightmare.
The Fresh, The Tropical, And The Supposedly Inappropriate- Top Perfume Picks for Summer25 Jun 2015 | 8:16 pmRecently I've realized that for someone who doesn't believe in seasonal perfumes, I actually have certain ideas about what would smell best on a particular day; some of these scent of the day decisions do depend on the weather, even if I'm prone to wearing my vintage Eau d'Hadrien to cheer myself up mid-winter, or pick an amber that soars to high heaven on the hottest day of the year. When it comes to summer perfumes, my choices often come from three main categories:Light/FreshTropicalBig, Bigger, Biggest (sillage)Dennis Wojtkiewicz, 2013Light & FreshThis is the most obvious for most…
Email Issues and an Apology18 Jun 2015 | 7:51 pmSeriously, it might as well be snail mail.Remember when Gmail became oh so efficient and started separating your incoming mail into categories, one of them named "promotions"? Well, most of us are on quite a few mailing lists that include more than just us, yet Gmail gives the stinkeye to those emails. What's even worse is that some of the personal emails we get come from friends and family using their work accounts. Again, not Google's favorite thing (though flagging those seem to have been random). And if you're a blogger who is both on many a mailing list AND have professional contacts…

Makeup Wars – Best Frizz Control Products8 Jun 2015 | 7:00 amBest Frizz Fighters I make no apologies for how much I love my hair and that I take pride in maintaining its appearance. I mean, I have bins and bins of products taking over my linen closet. Though frizz is the bane of my hair's existence. Having coarse, super thick, crazy wavy hair means it sucks up any moisture it can find, so when I wake up and can taste the humidity in the air, it's game on. I don't remember ever having to deal with frizz as a kid, but at some point everything changed, and I spent my 20s experimenting with different cocktails of products. So over the…

I call it the Emotion Transfer Technique.(ETT).Art is complex and I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but through my own experience I have found that art takes on the Maker's feelings.

Evenflo Tilty Training Cup30 Jun 2015 | 12:09 pmOur transition from the bottle to the sippy cup was somewhat smooth (with the exception of milk), so we've started working on the transition to regular cups.

Evenflo's new Tilty TripleFlo Trainer Cup has been the perfect solution! The angled interior prevents my toddler from tipping the cup over too far since he gets a good sip of water with just the slightest tilt. Now when he's drinking…

Review: Cadiveu Professional Detox Hair System15 Apr 2015 | 4:34 pmThe biggest issues I've had with my hair over the years are dry, flaky scalp and oily hair - mostly oily near the scalp. What I learned recently is that when your scalp dries out, it overproduces oil to compensate.

I've used a dry shampoo to help soak up some of the oil, but most of the time I lose that volume and my hair just looks limp. Read more »

review: fresh rose face mask17 Jun 2015 | 5:43 amI love a good face mask so when a sample of Fresh's Rose Face Mask landed on my desk I wasted no time in trying it out. Fresh promises that this mask will hydrate and tone the complexion to restore radiance and suppleness to all skin types. Meant to be applied after cleansing your face, the first thing I noticed was how cooling the formula was. Infused with real rose petals, they practically melt onto your skin as you massage it in. I love using this in the morning, after a shower, while getting ready for work. It really does hydrate the skin and I wish I had this during the winter…

"The same things that work for you in your 30s may not be the best for your skin when you're in your 50s," says Martino. "But my older customers don't seem as aware about what they should be doing."

Creme De La Mer27 Jun 2015 | 10:11 amEven though I hate to endorse ridiculously expensive products I must tell you about my all time favorite face cream. You can use it all over as a face cream, eye cream, and lip cream. And yes, it is ridiculously expensive, but when you consider that it is an "all in one" product it makes the price a little more reasonable. Actually, that's the excuse I tell myself to justify the money. But, the thing that is ironic is that I have spent more money trying out "inexpensive" face products in the hope of not having to shell out money for my favorite expensive counterpart.

RMK Refreshing Gel Review2 Jul 2015 | 5:00 amHello ladies! It has been a tricky time to blog with website woes and just general business but I have lots of things to write about! So let's start with some fancy skincare. I am a big fan of RMK all round – the cosmetics and the skincare items. Where I think RMK excels skincare wise is with it's unusual one off type products you don't find at any other brands. My current routine features a couple of RMK products (the lotion, eye balm, sunscreen etc) and now this; the Refreshing Gel. Japanese brands have a habit of not being that explicit about what a product actually is…
How I wear MAC Diva lipstick22 Jun 2015 | 2:20 amOn Friday I went for an evening browse in the shops with the husband and kids – this particular shopping centre also has a kids soft play area so as Mr C took the large child of a tumble, I pushed a sleeping baby around and ended up picking a few treats for everyone. My treat was a lipstick from MAC and since this was an unplanned purchase I uncharacteristically chose a colour I would never ever ever normally pick; MAC Diva is a matte deep reddish burgundy lip colour. I am a natural lip colour – milky pink or apricot – kind of girl most of the time with a little love for…
Baby Beauty Products I Love 2015: L'Occitane, Bioderma, Childs Farm, Mustela, This Works and Boiron18 Jun 2015 | 2:41 amOoh heck.

Needless to say, no child of mine is going to use cheap and nasty products on their lovely skin! A perk of having a beauty blogging mother? I have used tons of different products over the last 2 or so years on them and although it's natural to buy a ton of crap you don't need to begin with and having everything so nicely organised and planned out – guess what…
New Purchase: Tom Ford Lip Stick 01 Spanish Pink Review15 Jun 2015 | 7:05 amI don't know what came over me and why I suddenly felt like I needed this Tom Ford Lip Stick (or lip colour as they call it) in my life – 01 Spanish Pink; a nude daytime pink with a touch of peach which is shimmer free. This lipstick costs £37 smackers, which is in lipstick terms is extremely expensive. That's almost 7 packs of Aldi nappies. But here it is. Even mama needs a treat sometimes. Spanish Pink has a pinky touch to it but it's quite peachy in the tube although on my lips, it morphs again into a cream pink with a touch of coral- ice cream pastel that is not too…
Meet Matt(e) Nude – The Balm Matte Eyeshadow Palette Review12 Jun 2015 | 4:29 amHere's the thing. I HATE cardboard packaging. What is the point? Is it waterproof? NO! Does it look and feel nice? No! But still, there are endless being products being released all the time in cardboard packaging even though they are rather expensive! But…I couldn't resist this release by The Balm. The Balm reminds me of Benefit…it's a cute quirky brand although I haven't really tried it much. Meet Matt(e) Nude is an all Matte (obviously) eyeshadow palette named after various Mattes. It reminds me of the game from Never Mind The Buzzcocks (bonus points if you know what I am…

The Worst Mistake You Might Be Making With Your Clarisonic Brush30 Jun 2015 | 8:27 amI have not been shy about sharing my thoughts about the Clarisonic brush. While some people love the results they get with their skin, others find that the brush is damaging their face and don't understand why. Case in point: I recently had a client who had tried a new product for her face from a line known to be gentle and it resulted in a horrible skin reaction. She said, "I used just one product from the line and it made my skin all red, rashy and irritated. It was awful and the product said it was specifically made for sensitive skin!" Her skin didn't look particularly…
Five Ways To Hydrate Oily, Acne-Prone Skin Without Causing Breakouts18 Jun 2015 | 8:25 amAre you someone who gets clogged pores with occasional breakouts, yet find that acne products are too harsh and leave your skin feeling tight and dry? The moment you try to get hydration by using a heavier moisturizer, do you find this causes you to get more bumps and blemishes? If this sounds like you, then read on. I hear about these issues from my clients a lot, especially from those who are in their 20s, 30s and even some in their 40s. These are people who are out of their teen years and who no longer experience breakouts, but have a hard time trying to find the balance their skin needs.
The Upside of Having Acne11 Jun 2015 | 8:25 amIf you're someone who is currently experiencing a lot of acne or are someone who used to get blemishes pretty badly in your younger years, consider yourself lucky. What??? Yes, I believe in a lot of cases, it can be true. Let me explain. With 27 years of being an esthetician now, and working hands-on with clients with sensitive, acne-prone skin, one thing I have found to be true is that those who make their skin a priority and take care of it day in and day out with good skin care habits are the ones who often have the best-looking skin in their adult years. And the ones who do this the…
Proof That Applying A Vitamin C Serum To Your Skin REALLY Works4 Jun 2015 | 8:30 amHave you ever heard of oxidative stress? If you haven't, it's about time you did, and I've got a great experiment that will show you exactly what it does to your skin. First, let me give you a quick science lesson. It is widely believed by scientists around the world that one of the main reasons we age is because unstable electrons in molecules (called free radicals) attack healthy cells and change their composition, which causes them to no longer function the way normal, younger cells do. Simply put, we age due to changed cells. Molecular biologists have identified three species…

Milani's Color Statement Lipstick in Matte Confident3 Jul 2015 | 8:14 amSolid color payoff, easy application. The one thing that I noticed was that it applied a little bit…unevenly. Maybe this was just more noticeable with this color because it was so saturated. At any rate, if you want a 1950s-red lipstick and don't care to pay $30 a tube, this…

Shiro Cosmetics' Midna / Twilight Realm2 Jul 2015 | 8:15 amSilver-grey underneath, with blue sparkle top-notes. It doesn't smudge or blend out too well, but it does make an attractive accent. It even works as a liner, since the sparkle is not chunky enough to start flaking away at the slightest opportunity.

Face Roller and Cooler Review: Pros, Cons and Science!28 Jun 2015 | 6:30 amYes, another post on more face equipment! This is the last such post for the time being, and this time I'll be looking at a face roller, which seems to be pretty popular lately, as well as a face cooler. I have with me the Panasonic Warming Facial and Body Roller EH-SP32-S, and the Panasonic Facial Cool Putter DH-SQ10-W. This is also part of the Singapore Blog Awards, so basically I'm given a loan set of these to review. (And again - if you guys want to vote for me, you can do so here! Once a day! Every day!

Face Steamer Review: The Pros, Cons, and Science of Face Steaming22 Jun 2015 | 6:30 amAs part of the Singapore Blog Awards, I was given a loan set of a bunch of Panasonic beauty products, including the Panasonic Face Steamer EH-SA31, for review. (Which reminds me - if you guys want to vote for me, you can do so here! Once a day! Every day! Until July 6!) Anyway, turns out that I also received the same Panasonic Face Steamer to review last year, so this year, instead of rehashing an old post, I'm going to talk more about the science of face steaming, which I didn't get to do in last year's entry. So, don't worry, this is not a rehash of last year's post - in…

Pharrell Williams, honored as "Fashion Icon" by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, could easily make the CFDA Awards 2015 best or worst dressed lists, since he showed up in jeans and a blue leather jacket.

These Oils can also be used at full strength as facial moisturizers or blended together to create customized oils for face, body, and hair care. Tomato Seed OilThe tomato seed is prized for its lycopene content - which is rich in the seed's cold pressed oil. Lycopene, and other cartenoids such as beta-carotene, are often included in anti-aging formulations.
Organic Vanilla (Bourbon) CO2 Extract16 Jun 2015 | 2:39 pmYou may think that once you've smelled one vanilla you've smelled them all. The assumption is understandable but far from accurate. Different varieties and batches of aromatic ingredients like Essential Oils, CO2 Extracts, and Absolutes not only vary greatly in scent, but also in texture and solubility as well. Vanilla is an excellent example of this. Vanilla Oleoresins tend to be very thick, dark, and viscous, containing esters and components that require heat and agitation in order to be blended successfully with oil-based ingredients. You can see an example of this happening in our…

Lightweight, hopefully moisturizing and not lacking in color, it's a perfect solution for lip color when you don't want the full commitment or heavy-ness of lipstick. For Burt's Bees it's the all natural Lip Crayon. I recently tried it out in Carolina Coast, a rosy nude shade of pink.

Thank You for 100k! My Youtube Journey27 Jun 2015 | 11:46 amReflections on 100,000 subscribers and my journey getting here Why I Started a Youtube Channel So this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but I started a channel because my mom nagged me to do it. She always thought I had interesting information to share and was good on camera so she thought I should make videos on youtube. At this time I didn't even watch youtube beyond the occasional viral video; I had no idea what a "beauty guru" was, or that videos were made beyond funny cats and Charlie biting his little brother's finger. So she sent me links to some of her favorite…
How To Give Yourself a Facial at Home31 Jan 2015 | 11:37 amHi All, This week's video is a detailed overview of how to give yourself a spa-quality facial at home. My family owns a well-known day spa in San Diego, CA, The Vasseur Skin Clinic & Spa (we have a 5-star rating on Yelp and have won "best facial in San Diego" twice) and I went in this week to interview the staff to get their best tips and tricks. Here is the video: Since there are quite a few steps to getting a real spa-like facial experience at home, I also wanted to write them down for you so that you can easily refer to it. And since Valentine's Day is coming up soon, I…

How to Make a Vision Board for the New Year!4 Jan 2015 | 11:59 amHi guys, welcome back to my blog! Now, I'm aware that it may seem cliché to think about goals in the New Year, but some cliché's are good! I personally believe that deciding what it is you want out of life is sometimes the hardest step, and I've found a staggering number of people go though life with no real goals or direction. So, I say, embrace the cliché! Think about your goals. Decide what you want out of life. Make a vision board this year. I started making vision boards about 4 years ago after watching the movie "The Secret" (which is streaming on…

Product Review: Iman Second To None Cover Cream in Sand Medium7 Jun 2015 | 10:03 pmI recently bought Iman's Second To None Cover Cream to compliment the Iman foundation in Sand 3 that I have been using and absolutely love. However, I found the Sand concealer a little too dark for me, but fortunately it matched my sister so I gave it to her to use and the results were amazing. Check out the picture below. On the left is the concealer and on the right we didn't use anything As you can see, the concealer cream really hid her dark, under-eye circles and redness with a significant amount of coverage. It went on smoothly and was long-lasting. I will definitely try other…
Product Review: Obliphica Seaberry Shampoo Medium to Coarse31 May 2015 | 10:48 pmSeaberry Conditione I was doing some spring cleaning in my room and amongst the zillions of beauty products I have, I found Obliphica Professional Seaberry Conditioner for medium to coarse hair. The product releases small capsules of Vitamin E Oil, which are visible to the eye and penetrate deeply into each strand, in order to protect hair against color oxidation and environmental damage. It also contains a blend of grapeseed and jojoba oils which moisturize and nourish the hair, while seaberry oil forms a protective shield to seal in moisture and nutrients, and combat damage.

"Hey, I Know You!" The Ease and Comfort of Forever Friendships11 May 2015 | 11:29 amWhat's one of the best things about having an awesome friend? Someone you've known for a while, or forever? No explanations are needed, often. Recently I was talking to one of these friends, telling her a story, and felt the ease in our communication. No windy run-up to laying out the situation was needed. No need to pause and ask:"Do you know what I mean?" Sure she knows what I mean! We've probably logged a million hours of chit-chat with each other during the course of our lives. In other words, connecting with a dear friend is easy relief because…
"That Must Be Amazing!" | The Other Side of Desire22 Apr 2015 | 1:21 pmPart of the appeal of celebrity magazines and websites is, for the reader, escapism into another life. A life that seemingly has more appeal due to the subjects' fame, body, address, mate, personal net worth—you name it. A person may read about the celebrity and think: "That must be amazing. I'd be so happy if I had that [body, bank account, girlfriend, et cetera]." Another part of the draw of peering into celebrity lives comes from a fascination with how—again and again—these attributes (the looks, money, adulation) fail to shield the person who…
Sick of Being a Crazy Eater? Eating Well Tips For Busy People23 Jan 2015 | 11:49 amWhen I was around 14 I went to a palm reader. The woman, a grandmother-ish type, told me that I should eat better. If I did, she said. I'd live longer. Though I've never forgotten her advice I have a lame record of putting it into practice. I recall being—at the time of that palm reading—on a pretty strict gummy bear and veggie burger diet. It was the summer and parental supervision was not at a high ebb due to a bunch of reasons that no longer matter. Point is this: Up to recently I've eaten erratically, and in an unbalanced way. Sucking on iced coffee until…
To Seize the Moment — or Not3 Jan 2015 | 1:30 pmI have been working on a new book. The writing gods have not been as generous this time around as when I wrote "Practical Glamour." So when the words start a-flowing, I type and type and don't stop until the spout is turned off. I seize the moment. In other words, inspiration comes and goes; it ebbs and flows. So when she or he comes around, it's important to grab it and run with it – whatever the form! If you hear it knocking, and you know it to be good, stride over to the door and open it with a "Hello!" Listen to "it" and…

Nars Eyelashes: Are You Ready for Your Close-Up?30 Jun 2015 | 9:25 amNARS has recently introduced eight lashes. I know that it's "all about brows," "the perfect red" or "year of the contour." I get it, true, these are all huge. But honestly, does anything look as lush and glamorous as fabulous lashes? Whenever see lashes that are amped up, I feel like "she's the girl with the most cake. She wins." These are currently available at Nars online and at his boutiques ($20 each). According to Nars, these lashes: "named for the order in which the models walk the runway in a fashion show lineup,…
My Thoughts: MAC Le Disko Eyeshadows23 Jun 2015 | 8:37 amI picked up a few Dazzleshadow eyeshadows from the MAC Le Disko collection. At $20 each, I thought it worth spending a few minutes discussing these somewhat unique shadows. Although NARS has brought us a few shades with a similar multi-dimensional qualities, there are few other products out there like these. MAC Le Disko is currently available at Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdales, and other MAC sources. MAC's Le Disko eyeshadows have an insane amount of duochrome, sparkle, and a widely different look depending on the technique, base, and brush used. Really, the duo chrome effect…
Mac Huggables for Summer 201516 Jun 2015 | 8:57 pmAs you've probably heard, MAC Huggables are back for Summer 2015. With the first round, I did some major purchasing because I loved the formulas and colors (my original post on these is here). I continue to use the colors from that former batch, as I loved the color selection and moisturizing feel. I was beyond excited to see these return for a summer round. These are currently available at Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdales, Selfridges UK and other MAC sources. Although I made two trips to my local MAC counter to see this newest release, in truth I find this summer's…

Preview: Christian Louboutin Scarabée Collection12 Jun 2015 | 7:28 amBetween a traditional adobe house in Luxor and his dahabieh (a classical Egyptian sailboat) on the Nile, Christian Louboutin has crystallized his love of Egypt, a country he has cherished and claimed as a second home. The mythology and culture of Ancient Egypt have influenced both the designer's life and his work in many ways. These are currently available at Nordstrom, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman. I expect stock on these to be limited. Most recently, he found his muse in a key piece of Egyptian iconography, the scarab beetle. This creature, sacred to the Pharaohs, led…

The Pros and Cons of Lip Balms2 Jul 2015 | 7:00 amDo you need lip balm? Can you get addicted to lip balm? The answers are yes and yes!! So, what should you use to prevent and treat chapped lips? You need to keep your lips moist by applying a really good moisturizer if you don't want dry looking lips that are prone to chapping. This chapping occurs because, structurally, your lips don't have the same tough dead skin cell layer that other parts of your skin have, nor do they have oil glands to keep them hydrated. Dry climates and wind will quickly sap moisture right out of your lips resulting in unpleasant chapped lips. By applying a lip…
Foot Calluses: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly29 Jun 2015 | 7:00 amCalluses just aren't attractive. There's no way around it. In the winter months when your feet are hidden away in boots, they're easy to ignore. Once summer rolls around, though, those thick and crusty calluses desperately need to be taken care of before you show them off to the world in cute, summery sandals. Here are a few facts on foot calluses and what you can do to get your feet up to par to beautifully sport your favorite sandals. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association: Most Americans log an amazing 75,000 miles on their feet by the time they reach age…
The Best Sun Protection for Girls This Year25 Jun 2015 | 7:20 amSunny weather is here. Is your tween or teen girl ready to have fun in the sun without the tan or burn that leads to a lifetime of skin damage? Here is my roundup of the best sun protection products for girls this season.

I also recommend creating as much shade as possible for skin by wearing sun protective hats and clothing.

Does Mineral Makeup Really Protect Your Skin from the Sun?18 Jun 2015 | 7:00 amI was recently asked by one of our web customers about the SPF in mineral makeup. This is such a good question that I wanted to share my answer with you. All makeup with mineral particles provides some sun protection. Mineral particles are the active ingredients in mineral sunscreens. And, in my opinion, mineral sunscreens are the best sunscreens to protect your skin. When you layer your skin with mineral particles, they act like little barriers to prevent UV rays from passing into your skin; the UV ray hits a mineral particle and bounces off of it and into space –…

Violet Turns ONE! Mermaid Birthday Party30 Jun 2015 | 1:23 pmSo somehow, it has been a year since I had Violet. I really don't know how time can go by SO fast, but here we are! For her first birthday, I wanted to have a mermaid party (You're all SHOCKED, right?!) Her room is mermaid themed and she's got at least three mermaid outfits (not including all the beauty, ocean themed clothes she has!) so it seemed appropriate :) I had been raiding Pinterest for weeks, creating a board with loads of ideas and inspiration for her party. I had lists of desserts I wanted to make, color schemes, and must have gone to Hobby Lobby about 5 times, but I am SO…
FOTD: Mint Green Goodness!16 Jun 2015 | 1:42 pmI recently reviewed the new eyeshadows from Makeup Geek and the one that really caught my eye was Shore Thing, the bright mint green matte! I immediately had to play with it, and here's the look I came up with! I used Shore Thing on the lid overtop of NYX Milk, and Desert Sands in the crease. Then I used a few shades from Naked Smoky for the crease and lower lash line to darken the crease just a bit. I used my Tarina Tarantino Glitter Liner on the tear duct and Oh My Lash Tongue Tied Lashes. For lips, I used Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Backstage Bambi applied with my finger so it was…

There's a nice broad range of colors as well, and the sparkle really shows with movement in the light- they are so pretty to look at!

FOTD: Naked Smoky Palette Everyday Smokey Eyes [Tutorial]12 Jun 2015 | 5:30 pmHi! So- Naked Smoky. The palette on all our minds, whether you love it or hate it. You can find out my thoughts here (or if you're a visual learner, here). My first thought with this palette was to go bold (which I did in the review video linked, and will have a tutorial for that next week) but I also really wanted to use it in a way that is better for every day. This look is super simple and uses all the textures in this palette, and I liked how it turned out a lot. Nothing crazy or unheard of, but shows you how this palette can be on the more subtle end of things too! Get the look here:…

Product Review – Paula's Choice RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 3024 Jun 2015 | 8:58 amIt has been 4 years since I've written anything about sunscreen on this blog. Even just typing that out bewilders me. I suppose I do have some valid reasons (a hiatus for 2 years, perhaps?). Fortunately I've decided to break the abstention with the Paula's Choice RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30. I rarely deviate from my go-to facial sunscreen which is the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50 PA+++ (and all its iterations). However, a few months ago I decided to try something different and settled on this one. Before I go into my review, I'll give a brief…

But I realize that people like popular music and I caught a glimpse of Rihanna and Kanye and Sir Paul McCartney signing on The Grammys and was awestruck at how…

Since finishing the sample I immediately had to purchase the full sized tube! The…

It used to be reserved for runway or editorial, where lighting required additional bone structure, or when someone was performing in drag.

Just take a look at the last few seasons of reality TV or look on YouTube and Instagram. In real life, if you're going to contour, you should do it right, otherwise it can look false and awkward.

Glossary: Defining The Ingredients In Your Favorite Skincare Products18 Jun 2015 | 5:00 amBig words and fancy scientific language may make your favorite product sound effective, but how many of us really know what all these terms really mean? We browsed the skincare aisle and selected some of most mystifying terminology to create our glossary below (and don't worry, we left out the science speak so there's no translation needed). Allantoin /əˈlantōən/ Allantoin naturally occurs with the oxidation of uric acid in the body, and while allantoin is naturally found in many mammals, a synthetic version is used in cosmetics. According to numerous tests, the lab-made version is…

Our design process with Chikuhodo involved careful consideration of every detail, from the brush shape and hair type to the ornate handle design.

5 Reasons Why You Need This Eyeliner29 Jun 2015 | 12:07 amSeeing a woman with running or smudged makeup is quite unsightly—unless they're acting in a drama, in that case, a teary messy look is necessary. But for most of us ordinary people, a weather proof makeup is essential to keep us from wasting time doing touch-ups. One very important part of our makeup is the eyeliner. After trying multiple waterproof products, I found out they eventually smudged anyway. To cut to the chase, I tried this wonderful gel-type waterproof eyeliner that glides as smooth as silk. It's from Tony Moly (a South Korean brand) and it's called Perfect Eyes Gel Fit…
Eyelash Growth Products3 Nov 2014 | 1:00 amWant longer lashes without the hassle of using mascara? If yes, then I'm sure you've thought of using latanoprost. If you'll ask your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon, they'll tell you it's a drug that was originally used to treat glaucoma by facilitating the outflow of fluid in the uveoscleral tract. It is actually a prostaglandin analog and is available in ophthalmic solutions. However, its side effect—eyelash growth—was discovered and since then it has become known as an ingredient for beautiful thick eyelashes! Latanoprost has recently been discovered to stimulate eyelash…
Cosmetic Collagen30 Oct 2014 | 10:56 pmYou've seen collagen practically everywhere but what does it actually do for your skin? Does it really work or is it just another failed cosmetics concept? Several products work theoretically but do not deliver when it comes to actual human trials; this article will tell you if that is the case with collagen. What is it? Collagen is a fibrous protein that plays a very important role in various structures of the human body. There are several types in the human body and they provide integrity to structures such as the skin, bone, tendon, cartilage, hair, placenta, etc. What do you use it…
The Best Moisturizer31 Dec 2013 | 8:00 amMoisturizing is part of a girl's daily skin care regimen, but choosing the right type is also as vital as doing it. Moisturizers come in different forms including creams, lotions, and serums; but the more important thing to note is their base. Among these, the most common forms are oil-based versus water based. Oil-based moisturizers are thicker, provide a sealing effect over the skin and are very good for people who have extremely dry skin. For people needing a medicated type of moisturizer, this is also better as the skin favors lipids and evaporation is slower thus giving the medicine…
How to Treat Acne29 Jul 2013 | 3:52 amInflammatory Acne Having problem with acne? To treat it properly, know which type you have. It may be inflammatory or non-inflammatory or a mix of both. The first type is the more obvious and worse; reddish papules (flat lesion), nodules (small elevated lesion) and pustules (raised lesions with pus inside) usually cover a large area of the face. Different causes have been proposed including hormones and the lipase of Propionibacterium acnes breaking down and freeing irritating fatty acids. Benzoyl peroxide works well with the inflammatory type by oxidizing Propionibacterium acnes, thereby…

Viseart Eyeshadow Palette Cool Mattes + LOTD29 Jun 2015 | 3:58 pmYesterday, I posted an image on my Instagram featuring my Viseart Cool Mattes palette and of course it had a lot of likes.

Suffice to say, I am a huge Viseart fan and today I am bringing you a mini LOTD with the swatches of this awesome palette.

Review: True Volume Lashes by KISS!25 Jun 2015 | 10:53 pmWhen it comes to false eyelashes from the drugstore I believe KISS makes some of the best. Their lashes are made with 100% natural hair. They are so lightweight that I often forget I am wearing them. Every now and then they come up with new innovations of falsies to keep up with the trends. This new-ish line up consists of the "True Volume Lashes" which are unique because of the tapered ends that mimic natural lashes to help them blend seamlessly while providing essential volume. How to Use False Eyelashes: 1. Check fit: Lay lash on top of your natural lashline. If needed, trim to fit from…

The original had creamy lipsticks with no shimmers eg. the famous Shy Girl, Creme d' Nude and Creme Cup.

MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation Review26 May 2015 | 10:30 pmLeading up to my second big day which will take place in a hot and humid tropical paradise (see first big day makeup HERE), my obsession for trying to find the Holy Grail foundation has magnified exponentially. Promise me with a foundation with long-wear hold and I will try it. Having been a fan of the original MACPro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation, I was eager to try out this new waterproof version. Not that I go swimming in my makeup, but ho hey... Here's the review! MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof FoundationOne thing that struck me about this foundation is how little product there is.
Tea Rose Lips & Cheeks24 May 2015 | 10:30 pmIn this look I've incorporated my new makeup buys, an excellent way to try my new products all at once. Greedy, I know. I've opted for a natural look featuring rose pink shades for lips and cheeks. Starting off with my primer and SPF in one, I slapped on Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Protect paying attention to my oily T-zone. Following this I applied MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation with my fingers- the warmth of my fingertips allowed blending of the product into the skin. I lightly contoured my cheeks with Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder. Using a Real…

New! Sephora Oil Infusion Color & Care for Lips3 Jul 2015 | 12:05 pmI was browsing the Sephora website this morning over breakfast and came across a brand new lip oil from Sephora Collection called Oil Infusion Color & Care ($14). I'm crazy about my YSL Volupte Tint-in-Oil (see my review here), but it's expensive at $32 and not all that pigmented so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is a (more pigmented) dupe! Let's take a look...It comes in 9 shades and the description says it's a "highly pigmented balm-in-oil formula enriched with Kendi Oil and Shea Butter for a new sensorial experience". Needless to say, I ordered two of them, in the…
New Bumble & Bumble Don't Blow It- Air Dried Hair, Don't Care?3 Jul 2015 | 6:32 amI don't know about you guys, but I don't let my hair air dry unless it's in a bun or braid or something. Letting it air dry when it's down is just a bad, bad idea. I've watched countless YouTube videos on ways to let your hair air dry into "sexy beachy waves" or "effortless tousled texture"...yeah, ok. Each and every time, my hair turns into a limp, lifeless, rumpled thing that just hangs there and doesn't just look frizzy, it looks fuzzy. So unless I want to wear a bun/ponytail/braid every single day for the next few months, I have to blowdry my hair which is the last thing I want to do when…

Just Add Fireworks1 Jul 2015 | 9:00 pmWhen it comes to make-up over the holidays I always tend to be a bit understated. My toes are painted a glossy OPI red this year and I'm sure my nails will be in a white hue. Navy fingertips are too hard to keep fresh for a few days when you are busy having fun. I might throw in a navy eyeliner though or a red gloss to play up the day even more. Then I'm done and all we need to do is just add fireworks.

In the Navy23 Jun 2015 | 9:00 pmCome summertime I seem to default to one simple color, navy blue. Being 'in the navy' is so versatile. It is a neutral that works with black, white, khaki and loves pops of colors like yellow, pink and green. Metallics go well with it and I always feel put together in navy. That's why I was excited to wear this navy jumpsuit I got from Mint Julep earlier this spring for a date night with H. A date night that was super fun but also not typical. What started out as us looking at possible houses to flip and dinner and a movie ended up in torrential rains and no…

CIRCA Beauty29 Jun 2015 | 8:25 pmI absolutely love getting new makeup. Trying the different colors and products, choosing a favorite, bringing it home and opening that pretty new package. It's even better when I get something I haven't tried before. Like makeup from CIRCA Beauty, a cruelty free makeup line that's affordable, long wearing, trendy, and appeals to different skin tones. And oh yeah, the Creative Director just happens to be Eva Mendez. Left: BB Cream in 03 Medium. Right: Liquid Foundation in 07.

Sunscreen Pills – Do They Really Work?26 Jun 2015 | 6:00 amWith increasing frequency, I'm finding that I'm getting pitched more often to review sunscreen pills and drinks. I am a true skeptic when it comes to replacing what I know already works (topical sunscreen), and has worked for YEARS, with something so new that claims the same benefits. So I set out to find out the answers to the following questions about sunscreen pills: Do sunscreen pills really work? Do sunscreen pills offer the same protection as topical sunscreen? If sunscreen pills work, how? Are sunscreen pills meant to only be a supplement to topical sunscreen or to actually…

This is the first time I've ever tried a spray lotion and wasn't sure what to expect.

1907 Alkaline Water Review15 Jun 2015 | 10:25 amBy now, we all know…or should know the health and beauty benefits of drinking water. Approximately 50 to 70% of our body mass is made up of water so it is important to replenish our bodies with the water that we lose on a daily basis. Water is essential to our health because it removes toxins from our bodies thus cleanses it and is required to process all of the nutrients from the food we eat and carry the assimilated nutrients to the cells by circulating through the lymphatic system. Drinking water also has a ton of beauty benefits. Drinking water prevents dehydration, which…
Prevent Crow's Feet- And Look Stylish Doing It!2 Jul 2015 | 10:08 amOriginally published as Prevent Crow's Feet- And Look Stylish Doing It! from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog. Here on the East Coast, we're getting ready for a gorgeous, sunny 4th of July weekend. Here's a friendly reminder: wear your sunglasses. Not only do sunglasses up the hotness factor on any outfit, they also protect your sensitive eyes and help prevent crow's feet. Sunglasses reduce your need to squint and they physically keep the sun off your eye area. At night: apply our Glycolic Eye Cream, which uses sugar cane-derived Glycolic Acid to fight fine lines and wrinkles.

Are You Forgetting To Exfoliate HERE?30 Jun 2015 | 7:31 amOriginally published as Are You Forgetting To Exfoliate HERE? from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog. Uh-oh. As an ex-sun bather (and—ugh—tanning bed user), I've learned to just embrace my skin as is. Do I wish I could be as bronzed as the girls on Instagram? Totally. But I'll pass on the age spots, fine lines, and sagging bound to come with overexposure, thank you very much. Surprisingly, I haven't had the urge to tan just yet this year, but as it turns out, I actually have a need to bronze up ASAP. I have a performance this weekend (I'm moonlighting as a salsa dancer) and after a…

Madam Glam: Review1 Jul 2015 | 10:00 pmOne of the things I loved blogging when I first started was nail varnishes but I had to sadly stop it as my nails took a turn for the worst and weren't a pretty sight, thankfully they have started to get better, thanks to a lot of hand and nail cream and a good few years work, but they do still break at the most inconvenient of times. But that doesn't mean I don't like wearing and trying new polishes, so when Madam Glam got in touch to see if I would like to try some of their nail varnishes straight from the US, I of course said yes. All of their varnishes are free from…

Summer Sunscreens – All-Natural or High-Performance?9 Jun 2015 | 4:00 amHi Wild Beauties! I've been away for a while – I've been off working on a cosmetic foundation finder IOS app with a team based out of Los Altos, California. I will be writing about that here in much more detail when the app is released into public, but I can tell you that I've been busy doing extensive skintone studies – and wracking my brain finding new ways to illustrate to the scientific team exactly how makeup artists match foundations to skin tones. It's a lot of work, but it's also going to result in the most scientifically accurate cosmetic app…
Painted Ladies: Adele Bloch-Bauer, Gustav Klimt's "Woman In Gold"22 Apr 2015 | 3:57 amShe was the Mona Lisa of Austria – her mysterious beauty enthralled everyone who saw her. For years, she was simply called the Woman in Gold – her portrait seen as testament to the genius of the artist, Gustav Klimt. As for the woman herself, she was assumed to be his lover: her inscrutable expression hinted at love, or perhaps a jaded weariness of the society world which she inhabited. This nameless beauty watched over us as we speculated about her life and loves, until the mystery behind her identity – and the darker secrets surrounding her fate – were revealed. When…

Vintage Makeup Workshop with Gabriela Hernandez, Creator of Bésame Cosmetics16 Feb 2015 | 4:00 amThere's a lot to love about Old Hollywood movies: the dialogue is fantastic, the sound effects are minimal, and the stars aren't likely to end up as tomorrow's tabloid scandal. But the real reason to watch old movies is the Glamour – movie stars looked so ravishingly elegant that it's no surprise that today's actors seek to emulate them on the red carpet. The makeup in old movies is especially beautiful, and the techniques and tools are hard to divine by watching the movies alone. But makeup artists have a secret: they call Gabriela Hernandez, creator of…

My Battle with Leg Hair15 Jun 2015 | 2:09 pmLike most girls, I have battled leg hair since middle school (or junior high as we used to call it). I had to use a men's razor or I'd get razor burn, I had to use gel shaving cream or I'd get razor burn, and I couldn't apply lotion right after or it would just BURN. As if those years weren't awkward enough, they were also painful. Waxing has never worked for me and I honestly don't know why. It's like those thick hairs are anchored in there with cement. I tried at home waxing and was eager to endure the pain for some relief but all I did…
