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.


Victoria's Secret Angels: Their Body Skin Tips

victorias-secret-fashion-show.jpgWhat would you do the final few days before baring your bod to millions of viewers? That's the position the Victoria's Secret models were just in—the show happened last night! (It will air on CBS on November 30 at 10 P.M. EST.) We have the lowdown from our Victoria's Secret source on what the models do to make the last few days count.

"I love working out, so my favorite way to prep before show-time is boxing and jumping rope." —Adriana Lima

"Leading up to the show, I use face masks and hair treatments so I feel extra-conditioned and soothed. My favorites are Ginseng's Therapy Moisture Facial Mask and Moroccanoil's Restorative Hair Mask." —Erin Heatherton (below right—these photos are from backstage at the show!)

"A few days prior to show day, I buff my body with a scrub and slather on oil." —Candice Swanepoel (above)

"Layers of self-tanner, extra-bronzer, and shimmer on the day of show are key." —Alessandra Ambrosio

"We have so many shoots leading up to show day. I rely on dry shampoo to remove product build-up and absorb excess oil." —Chanel Iman

"My top pre-show treatmets are getting in a few extra workouts, drinking plenty of water, and getting extra-sleep!" —Lily Aldridge (below left)
