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.


How to Wax Without Redness

If you've ever waxed something on your face, you know the drill: The appointment takes two minutes, but the red mustache and/or crimson halo around your brows lasts two hours. Until now! Last night I tried out Bliss spa's white wax, which has a titanium dioxide base that Bliss says dries faster than normal wax, doesn't break on removal, and gets a good grab on the hairs—all making the stuff less irritating to the skin. Obviously different people will react in different ways, but I have to say that I am loving the stuff; I'm normally branded when I have my brows shaped, but the white wax left no angry red evidence behind. None. At all. Not even a tiny bit of pink two minutes after the wax was ripped off my skin. And though it was slightly more painful than other waxes I've tried, I assure you the results are worth definitely it.
