e·mol·li·ent (eeMOHleeyent) n. A mixture of oils from animal, vegetable, or mineral sources found in most moisturizers and body creams that soothe & soften the skin, protect it from dryness, and even reduce inflammation.

Since I liked Biore’s ice cleanser so much, I thought I’d give these little masks a shot. The packaging is very convenient; each mask comes in an individual tube that’s easy to get open and has a nicely sized opening to ensure it doesn’t explode out on your hand. The smell was nice, but not [...]

Want another reason to be jealous of Elle Macpherson? As reported by OK! Magazine, Elle is going from “The Body” to “The Face” - she’s now a global representative of the Revlon brand. Macpherson will be featured in a worldwide advertising campaign and take part in Revlon-sponsored philanthropic efforts. Hrmph. As if six Sports Illustrated [...]

There’s been huge buzz surrounding Akasha’s new SPINLASH, which is now being sold at Target.

Get ready for some science, girls! The latest buzz in beauty and skincare products surrounds nanotechnology, which basically means the manipulation of extremely small particles. The idea is, teeny tiny ingredients can get deeper into the skin, contact more skin layers, and work faster. Some cosmetics companies are using nanotechnology to break down normal active [...]

For those of you who watch Rock of Love (God help you…and me), you know that despite Bret Michaels‘ futile attempts to trade innocent hottie Megan Hauserman for headcase Kristy Joe Muller, the drama queen with the random guy spelling of her middle name chose to check out on last night’s episode to deal with [...]

I added this category just for this mascara because it made me mad. Don’t get me wrong: the tube is pretty and high-fashionish, shiny black with silver accents and that name-in-lights Max Factor logo. The problem is, they did this thing companies are doing now where they pack the brush outside of the tube, [...]
