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.


Should Celebrities Have to Reveal Their Age?

celebs-reveal-age.jpgAge is just a number—but for celebrities, it also has a big influence on their paychecks. Worried about age discrimination in Hollywood, The Writers Guild of America West is trying to convince super-popular movie database IMDB to let celebrities remove their birth dates from the site, so the public—and industry movers and shakers—won't know how old they are. (The Screen Actors Guild has also reportedly asked that the birthdates of non-mega-stars be removed.)

I've certainly Googled celebrities to see how old they are. (We tease "try guessing her age" for Julianne Moore on Allure's November cover, and I immediately looked it up online, because I couldn't believe she's turning 50.) Obviously stars have been lying about their ages since the dawn of Hollywood, and now more than ever many are willing to use cosmetic procedures, personal trainers, and any other anti-aging tools they can find to keep looking young. But in the information age, we expect to find out anything we want with just a few keystrokes, including a celeb's real age. So should they be allowed to hide their ages from sites like Wikipedia and IMDB? Does the public deserve to know the truth, or is their privacy more important?
