This blog is dedicated to my husband who sees my imperfections and doesn't mention them.

I love trying new beauty products. Place me in a Sephora or Ulta store and I feel I am in paradise. For hours I can pleasantly entertain myself looking at the plethora of different shampoos, facial washes, makeup and perfumes, envisioning myself as a size 0 with glowing clear skin, no split ends, and being stopped by every man in America asking “What’s that scent you are wearing? (Ok, maybe not EVERY man)

One of my downfalls , as my mother will readily tell you, is that I am a sucker for cool packaging and intriguing ingredients. That inclination has resulted in trying hundreds of different products over the years – good and bad. Some products I have used ever since I was in college and I would rather exit the house with no makeup and hairy arm pits then see my fav end up on the proverbial chopping block. Others I have readily discarded vowing never again to be duped by flowery ingredients which deliver zero results.

Because of my “beauty product love”, I probably have more knowledge roaming around in my head than Wikipedia. So I decided to start this blog to share my adventures with you on the quest for beauty, giving my recommendations and warnings so your money can be well spent. The subject matter may be a tad vain, but ultimately every woman has an innate desire to look and feel her best and there is nothing wrong with that. Happy reading, and if you don’t come for my daily blabberings at least drop by for my contest giveaways that I hope to do every other month.


I love to Outshine!


I probably have the thickest, bushiest hair known to mankind--which worked great in the 80's, but now big hair is sooooo retro. My hair tends to have alot of split ends and cow licks as well. After trying a variety of different "hair taming" products, I think I finally found one that really flattens my hair. If you have never tried: Outshine Anti-Frizz Polishing Milk by Redken, you are missing out. Not only does this stuff use shea butter to smooth and control, but my hair always seems extra shiny when I use it. Just be careful not to use too much, or your hair will be a greasy oilslick. (tried and tested) I love to outshine!

P.S. If you don't believe me, visit www.makeupalley.com and read the reviews. Glowing!
