Avon Magix Face Perfector – Regular & Tinted
I tried the Avon Magix Face Perfector last year when it was introduced and really liked it. The original formula is colorless and has an SPF of 20. It is great to use to minimize pores and imperfections. It can be used as a makeup primer or in place of foundation. This year Avon has introduced a new Tinted version. The original version is in a tube. The tinted version is in a compact - it is a gel to powder. I really like the tinted version as well. It has ...

Finding the Best Concealer
What is the best concealer? It depends on what you want to conceal! Here is how you can select the best concealer for you: Best Overall Concealer: I've tried so many, in my opinion, the very best one is philosophy Supernatural Concealer - here is my review: philosophy Supernatural Concealer Review. Best Concealer for Undereye Circles and Darkness: For most, a regular flesh tone concealer will do. It sould be a shade lighter than your normal skin tone. For dark bluish undereyes, use a yellow based concealer to neutralize the blue. For dark undereyes that are in the brown family, use ...
Review of Philosophy Fragrances
In addition to their fabulous skin care, philosophy is as equally well known for their Bath & Body products and their fragrances (and their Bath & Body products done in their fragrances!). The philosophy fragrances are unique and decidedly "non-perfumey". I wear and enjoy many of the fragrances - when you are wearing them you just smell nice & clean, you don't smell like you are wearing perfume. I worked in an office with a lady who was extremely sensitive to fragrances. Someone could come in wearing perfume and she would sneeze for the rest of the day. I always ...
Tightlining
Tightlining, a technique once only used by hardcore makeup mavens, is becoming more and more of a beauty trend as more companies are producing products for tightlining. This picture is a great example of tightlining with an overall natural look. What is Tightlining? Tightlinig is an eye lining technique where eyeliner is applied into the lash line and in the area where the eyelid becomes the eye. The trick to a perfect tightline is to darken the lash line without getting liner in the 'wetline" where the eye membrane starts. The benefit of Tightlining is that it emphasizes the eyes without looking overly ...

As I posted before (White Eyeliner Pencils), I have become a big fan of using a white eyeliner to brighten my eye area. It is one product that I will not go without because it makes such a difference – which I didn’t realize until I forgot to use it one day – I looked tired and my eyes looked dark. I got started using eye highlighting... [Read more of this review]
Have you heard of Wen Hair Care yet? If not, you will. Chaz Dean, the creator of Wen, started appearing on QVC a few years ago.

Now, thanks to the popularity on QVC, Wen has a new infomercial selling a Wen Hair... [Read more of this review]
Unfortunately, I am an expert on hyperpigmentation and melasma (dark spots or areas on the face). As a teen sun goddess living in the south, I had frequent and intense sun exposure (but did I ever look good in my white bikini, sigh). When I turned 30, the damage started showing up as dark splotches, especially across my cheekbones and upper lip. When... [Read more of this review]
