I have spent thousands of dollars in search of something that would make my extremely dry skin feel soft and smooth. I have tried Arbonne, Lancome, Avon, Mary Kay, Olay, L’Oreal, Eucerin, baby oil/gel, Vaseline, Kiehl’s, Burt’s Bee’s, SkinCeutical and that the list could go on.
I have even gotten prescriptions from my dermatologist and paid [...]

I am an occasional consumer of the goodies at Bath and Body Works. I love their stuff, it’s usually that I’m not at the mall when I need that sort of thing and then when I am at the mall I’m stocked up so timing is an issue. However, I was recently in [...]

One of the hottest names in hair styling just created a new line called the “Light Me Up!” collection which debuted this summer. Bed Head® Tigi recently sent me a few products from this new line to review and after several weeks of use I’m ready to share with you what I’ve learned.
I admit to [...]

I have very long hair that is prone to going frizzy and breaking all over the place, and since I’ve spent the better part of the last eight years either pregnant or nursing, I’ve been going through the hormonal hair-falling-out thing several times, too.
I’ve been using Garnier Fructis’ Length and Strength formula shampoo and conditioner [...]

My biggest pet peeve of beauty products is there are too many choices and if you find something you like they usually quit making it. Has that happened to you?
Mary Kay Day Radiance liquid foundation was the first product I found that didn’t leave lines and blended smoothly with my skin tones. After a few [...]

A few weeks ago several samples from NIVEA body care line showed up in my mailbox. Never one to turn away trying something new, I decided to investigate the product before me.
NIVEA has developed a body patch that continuously releases L-Carnitine, which is a treatment targeted to fight cellulite that turns fat into energy and [...]

For the most part I’m a thrifty shopper when it comes to groceries and home goods. I don’t buy generic all the time, but when I know it’s the exact same product I’ll choose the cheaper route. I figure that by saving money and cutting corners on some items, I can justify spending larger amounts [...]

As you may have surmised by now, I’m always on the look out for beauty products on the cheap.
The problem is…with beauty products, about 90% of the time you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. So buying cheap usually means buying junk, and is therefore to be avoided AT ALL COSTS.
But I continue to dabble [...]

There I was, walking along in our local grocery sale when something shiny caught my eye. It was Aquafresh Extreme Clean and it was on sale.
I am not a toothpaste snob. I’m not loyal to any particular brand, really. If it tastes minty and makes my breath smell good, into the shopping [...]

In preparation for vacation I went in search of travel-sized hair care products, and please let me share my great fortune with you.
In a small boutique I came across a five piece Frederic Fekkai set that included little bottles of the necessary shampoo, conditioner and finishing spray, BUT the set also included a hair mask [...]
