Ahh, Ed Hardy you were a visionary man, taking classic flash tattoo art and incorporating it into everyday fashion. How I loved your t-shirts, that is until all was ruined by the Bedazzler loving Christian Audigier.
Product Review: Cellex C Under-Eye Toning Gel
It’s inevitable! If I don’t get enough sleep, I always wake up with puffy eyes. If I cry at a movie the night before my eyes are so puffed up that I can barely apply mascara. Oh, and don’t forget the dark circles, I get those too. Check out my review of Cellex C Under Eye Toning Gel.
Product Review: Leaf and Rusher Green Tea Facial Wash
When I was first introduced to Leaf and Rusher, a small Beverly Hills based skincare line developed by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Norman Leaf and R.N. Russel Rand, it was ridiculously expensive. I was a little shocked that a small, baby brand would be so high a price point but they (sort of) made up for it with generous sized samples.
Dirty Hair? You Need a Dry Shampoo
With the holiday season in full swing, I’m sure your schedules are filling up as rapidly as mine is. Naturally, I would love to get my hair blown out for every event because, let’s face it, a great blowout works wonders on your self confidence. Thank God for dry shampoo!
Forever 21 Launches Affordable Make Up Line
Forever 21 in keeping with their quest for total mall domination — I swear my local mall has at least three sister stores — has launched “Love & Beauty,” an affordable make up line that is available online and will be in most stores soon. Sadly, my local Forever 21 had not received the line yet so I wasn’t able to buy anything on my shopping trip last weekend, but I did check out the website.
Product Review: Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic
Toner has never been a big part of my daily routine. I’ve tried dozens of toners over the years and I always find them way too harsh for my sensitive skin. Also, because toner is not a regular product I use, I never remember that I have a new one to try until after I slather my face with moisturizer. So naturally I’ve had a bottle of Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic in my bathroom for a while, unopened, looking sad and lonely on my counter. I just never remembered to use it. Until now.
Product Review: Apivita Propoline Multi-Gyn Cleanser
I’ve been using this product for years. My husband always makes fun of me for it, he calls it my “vagina wash,” but Propoline Mylti-Gyn cleanser is an all-over, hypoallergenic body is made with a woman’s unique PH balance in mind. Check out my review.

Fall’s Hot Nail Polish Trends
With make up and fashion trends going super dark this fall, your nail color is now becoming a crucial accessory. As of late, I have purchased more nail polish than any other beauty product and am currently changing polish colors on a weekly basis. I simply can’t get enough of these new fall colors!
