Glamorous Greeting Cards A friend recently emailed me apologizing for not sending a thank you note. I quickly assured her that I don’t believe in thank you notes. The words are appreciated, but the...
Whether you are 16 years old or 36 years old, acne puts a definite damper on your confidence. But when it comes to acne, and treating it, it turns out that some often repeated causes and cures are...
Tigi Luxe Lash Mascara Review This week’s revelation is that Tigi, the hair product company, also has a shockingly good mascara on the market. In fact, it turns out that the company has an entire...
If you value healthy skin and want to help avoid sun damage (or worse — skin cancer), it’s time to get on board with daily use of a BB Cream or Beauty Balm. I am working on an update of our...
I have to admit, I thought this whole nude nail polish thing was going to be boring. But, in the name of investigating all beauty trends, I set out to find some new lacquers for this week’s Mani...
Better late than never, as they say. I promised this week’s giveaway would be some of my favorite hues from OPI’s Oz collection. I’ll pick two winners on Wednesday, April 17, and send each several...
You won’t find The Shoe Box, an NYC boutique, mentioned everywhere like Zappos. And while this East Coast shoppe is not unknown by any means, the word doesn’t seem to be quite out that the website,...
It’s been about a year since I first discovered BB Cream (or beauty balm) and almost as long since we posted our “Love it or Leave it” BB Cream story on PrettyCity.com here. Since that time, tons...
Happy Mani Monday! This week, I’ve been playing with OPI’s “Oz the Great and Powerful” collection which includes some great nudes as well as sparkling top coats and a polish in OPI’s new “Liquid...
I’ve always subscribed to the “more is more” mantra. It’s not that I am indecisive, because I’m actually extremely adept at making decisions and making them quickly. I think it’s greediness more...
Follow typical beauty advice or the instructions included with your favorite cosmetics and you’re often left with results that are less than stellar. On the other hand, hang out with experts who’ve...
Experts are declaring nude nails as one of the biggest beauty trends for spring 2013 thanks to many, many designers who opted for models in various hues of undressed nails on spring runways. But,...
I just returned from three days in Chicago at ABS, America’s Beauty Show (ABS), an industry event for beauty professionals. What a crazy scene it is at ABS with loud music, tens of thousands of...
Happy Friday, pretties! While organizing my beauty products last week, I realized that I have far too many perfectly new, absolutely fabulous products just taking up space in my “medicine cabinet,”...
10 nail polishes. Seven lipsticks. Five bottles of hairspray. Four bronzers (because apparently I am very, very pale). That is just the beginning of a list of toiletries that littered my bathroom...
Like many working Moms, my days typically speed by. And, while I usually impress myself with how much I actually get accomplished (hey, I’ve got to impress somebody), I’m always on the hunt for...
Red lipstick is my thing. And while it’s (thankfully) hip to wear red at this very moment, I’ve basically been addicted for years. When gloss became the lip decor du jour a few years back, I tried...
Happy Mani Monday pretties! February has been such a whirlwind of a month, hasn’t it? And in just a few days it will be over and March will arrive which makes me feel as if spring is just moments...
I am not patient. I do not read directions. I am not capable of meticulously applying 10 fussy little nail stickers. But, as beauty trends come and go, I keep attempting to conquer them, which...
You’re well beyond Ziploc bags and hotel bar soap. This means, when you travel, you have all of your beauty necessities perfectly packed in a pretty little (see-through) cosmetic case, and all in...
Happy almost Valentine’s Day! I know the term “love” should probably be reserved for the most important things in my life — think hubby, kids, family– so let’s just say that I really, really like...
La Perla Fall 2013 Presentation No doubt you’ve seen tons of fashion coverage from NYFW 2013, but, for beauty addicts like us, it’s the hair, makeup, nails and more that truly steal the shows. I’m...
Happy Mani Monday! This week, I’m getting inspired by fresh lacquer hues and trends from New York Fashion Week. How about you? From butter LONDON backstage with Dannijo, Global Colour Ambassador,...
New York Fashion Week has officially begun. It’s not the overpriced hotel rooms on the island of Manhattan; the sudden swarming of tall, thin models in coffee shops across Midtown; or even the...
As I’ve mentioned before here and here, I’m a huge fan of the ShopStyle app. And, I’m also obsessed with dresses. They are so damn easy to wear and save me considerable time that would otherwise be...
Recently, I covered CC Creams for PrettyCity and the Tampa Bay Times here. Since I discovered, while working on this story, that CC Creams are fabulous and VERY hard to find in the USA, I thought...
Happy Mani Monday, pretties! There are so many new nail products available now, both high end and mass market. Over the weekend I headed to a couple of different spots, from Walgreens to Nordstrom,...
Valeria Lukyanova via StarPulse.com This week’s story about a real life Barbie (vs. a real life Ken here) begs to ask the question, is a doll really society’s beauty ideal? For me, with no offense...
Giuseppe Zanotti via net-a-porter.com I love high heels. In fact, the higher the better. Four inch heels are the norm. Five inch heels are welcome. Six inches — the seemingly standard height of...
