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.


Our Newest Obsession: Organic Cheek Stains

The cheek stain really is the lazy girl's best friend: Soft, rosy cheeks with no need for a brush—and they double as a lip color. So when we saw that Vapour Organics was launching three shades in their fall collection (on sale in September), we were super excited. The formula is quite sheer, but it smooths over the skin like a cream—and one swipe is all you need to get a flush of either pinkish berry, brick red, or orange-peach. It's easy to blend the colors along your cheekbones with your fingertips, then pat the remainder on your lips for a subtle stain. And there's a green factor to these particular stains as well: the formulas are 100 percent natural and 70 percent organic (the remainder being the minerals and vitamins that enhance the color.) We can't get enough of them.
