Summer is fast approaching and we all know what that means. Toning, trimming, tanning and primping in anticipation of skin-bearing season! Oh, and keeping our bikini areas smooth and ready for that impromptu pool party or lake trip. Three cheers for womanhood (sigh)! Keeping your bikini line bump free can be irritating — literally. But […]
Prime Time: LOreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
With a name that includes the words “magic” and “perfecting,” the new L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base had a lot to live up to in my mind.

Raising the Bar: Laszlo Blue Firmarine Treatment Bar
Life is a crazy wild ride, isn’t it? Take yesterday for example. In between deadlines and emergency laundry (spa boy was out of clean underwear, gasp!), I hustled into the local auto spa for an oil change. When the mechanic lifted my hood, not only did we discover a rodent apartment complex but sadly, one […]
Beauty Exclusive: Pre-order MAC Opulash Mascara
I’ll readily admit it. I’m obsessed with mascara. Have been ever since I snuck in my mom’s makeup drawer and painted on the first layer to my baby fine lashes (little hint, be sure to put things back exactly where they were when you go riffling through your mom’s beauty stash). So here’s the big […]
