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.


Are You a Pretty Crier Like J.Lo?

jennifer-lopez.jpgMost people don't look their best when they cry, thanks to weird facial contortions, a red, swollen nose, puffy red eyes...the list goes on and on. But last week when I knew I should have been caught up in the emotional journeys of all the people moving on or being cut in the American Idol eliminations, all I could focus on was how pretty a crier Jennifer Lopez is. The woman sent a few of her favorites packing, and looked like a gorgeous sad puppy for doing it. See for yourself here! And J.Lo wasn't alone in her beautiful sadness: contestants Pia Toscano (who could be Freida Pinto's twin) and Thia Megia (a 15-year-old who somehow always looks like she's being lit from within), also pretty-cried. And it's not just because they were attractive to begin with—lots of other pretty contestants turned into Shrek as they sobbed.

I wonder if pretty-crying may have an evolutionary advantage, since it could arguably make the person you're crying to feel more sympathetic and, as a result, more likely to remedy the situation or give you what you want.

So tell us—are you a pretty crier?
