BeautyFrizz Brand Review: Wen

There are tons of WEN by Chaz Dean reviews available, but I have used the product myself and would like to add my two cents to the feedback. The featured product is the cleansing conditioner.

I have been on the search for a new foundation, and have recently discovered that there are more types than I thought possible! Sure, we all know about the traditional liquids, the more recent mineral powders, and the advent of the BB and CC creams. But there are even more types it would seem, and […]

Is There Such Thing as True One-Bag Travel?

There are a lot of websites devoted to minimalist and one-bag travel, but is traveling with literally one bag truly possible and necessary? I suppose anything is always possible.

Are the fabulous-looking gifts really worth spending the dollar amount?  The short answer is, it depends.

BeautyFrizz Brand Review: Philosophy

The tagline for Philosophy (also available on QVC) is “makeup optional skin” and I love this concept!

They are boosting your skin’s health and appearance so that makeup becomes optional as fun instead […]

Now, of course, this all depends on where you live (i.e., how bad your summer climate will be), where you work (at a bank or at an advertising agency), and what dress code policies are enforced for your organization (open-toed sandals, sleeveless, hosiery, etc.) Not to mention whether your place of business keeps the air […]

Applying Blush Based On Your Face Shape

We struggle to find just the perfect shade of blush to give our faces that youthful flush without looking severely sunburned, but did you know that your application technique and placement matters too? We are not talking about contouring or strobing or anything too complicated. I am referring to applying the blush color based on […]
