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.


Detox Dirt


As stated in a previous post, I purchased "Detox Dirt" from the JONATHAN product line at Bath and Body Works the other day for 50% off. (That's 50% off $22.00 which is outrageous for any shampoo) For those who don't know (and may not care) JONATHAN products are named after the master hairstylist Jonathan Antin who makes the rich and famous look fabulous. His "Detox Dirt" is a clarifying shampoo which claims to remove build-up and residue without stripping moisture, revitalize and strengthen the hair, protects with UVA and UVB filters and is 100% vegan. (is that why it's so expensive??) I have used Detox Dirt twice now and I must say, I like the end result. My hair is bouncy, shiny and smooth. I was skeptical however, because the shampoo doesn't have alot of lather (I am a lather junkie) and the smell, quite honestly, is a tad off-putting. But there is no denying that my hair is manageable and feels super clean. He has alot of "dirt" products, so if I can hit another huge sale, I may try the whole dirty line. Stay tuned!
