We try a lot of beauty products around here. And we don’t always have time to Google every single ingredient on a product label. It’s hard enough finding a moisturizer that doesn’t make your skin freak out or a hair conditioner that nourishes your tresses without leaving them flat and lifeless. So how’s a girl […]

3floz.com: A Jet-Setting Beauty Junkie's Best Friend
I read about this website in of all places, an airplane. My feet were crammed under my seat with barely room to move because I sure as heck wasn’t going to fork up more dough to check in my bag. And I’ll do anything to avoid the post-landing rush to get into the overhead compartments. […]

Go ahead, slather. At just under $5, the new Bodycology Rich & Creamy Body Wash gives your license to go overboard. I gave the Skin Softening formulation a try because the bottle is pink and well, I think we all know by now that it’s a favorite color around the spa girl offices. In fact, […]

Say Bonjour to Smooth Skin: Votre Vu Trouble Spot Treatment
I wish I had known about Votre Vu Trouble Spot Treatment in high school and college, when I always seemed to get a zit at the most inopportune times (Senior Prom, Picture Day, Graduation … oh and just about every day in between). I tried Votre Vu’s Trouble Spot Treatment ($19) for the first time […]
