Everything in BEAUTY
Is it weird to get passionately preachy about a beauty product? Like, say, when you’re chatting about mascaras (or the subject happens to come up because you bring it up. Either one.) I just cannot say enough about this mascara. Every variety claims to make your lashes look long and lovely, […]

As all things nautical start popping up this Spring, snag one of these clean, classic-looking PVC bags to tote your beauty booty. It’s where fabulous Ginger would have stored her makeup while stuck on Gilligan’s Island.

Last week I stopped by Kiehl’s and the saleswoman insisted that I take a sample of the new self-tanning formula. I’m always skeptical or using tanning lotion in the dead of winter, but I smeared some on Saturday morning and by that night I had received a ton of complements. It goes […]

I’ve loved the Hard Candy brand for years, even when it was way out of my price range (the company revised its marketing plan a few years back to make it more affordable). The new, limited-edition Take Out Makeup Kit is a mini cosmetics collection presented in a Chinese take out box. For $25 you […]

This is hand’s-down the best tooth whitener I’ve ever used (and I’ve tested out a ton). The soft-tip pen provides easy, no-mess application that dries in a flash. Just apply the gel right before you turn in for bed. The package claims “noticeable whitening in just 14 days,” but I’ve seen […]

Thank you, Boots, for this yum collection of bath goodies. Organic ingredients inspired by the Mediterranean make me love the London-based pharmacy just a little more. If that’s even possible.

C.O. Bigelow makes a great line of products that are full of natural ingredients, and this hand lotion is no exception. The one drawback: the light, refreshing lemon scent might make you want to lick your hand. Try not to.
*Down from $16.

Years ago, roll-on gloss was the only makeup I was allowed to wear. And I thought I was awesome. Like purple, this shiny, yummy stuff is making a big comeback. I made that up, but at least is has in my life. I’ll wear it alone when I want just a […]

When I lived in London, I used to hang out at the British drugstore Boots all the time. (I didn’t have many friends there, OK?) I always seemed to find a new treasure on every visit: little coconut soaps, mini Charles Worthington hair products, even a box of bandaids was exotic with the […]

I’m a clear 3,500-plus miles away from Hawaii, but a capful of Alba’s Passion Fruit Body Wash added to my bath makes me feel like I’m sunning myself on the island of Lanai singing ‘Aloha.’ The gel is an infusion of certified organic extracts of passion fruit, papaya, pineapple and awapuhi (how exotic!). The […]
