Introduction to Redpoint and NOC-Out Cover Up Compact

Note:  This is an update to a post that I wrote last year.  Let it be disclosed now that I currently work for the company that owns Redpoint Cosmetics.  The NOC-Out Cover Up Compact is available in the first Beautyfix installment – we are working hard on Beautyfix 2, so if you want to get [...]




Christina Loves… Elizabeth Arden’s Pure Finish Mineral Foundation!

I am a huge fan of mineral makeup – I have tried a slew of brands and most are about the same (which is good).  Same powder, same color, same packaging.  My biggest complaint about mineral makeup is that it doesn’t travel well – that’s really my only complaint.  I don’t haul around a big [...]




Much Work To Be Done

Well, its been a wacky week or two.  I quit smoking for the last time (ahem, those who know me know I have quit many-a-time) on January 8th.  Then on or around the 12th, I got sooooooooo sick.  The worst. cold. ever.   Some say I am detoxing, but whatever it was, I felt like big [...]




Today’s Lust: Heidi’s Christian Louboutin Sandals

$1500 at Neiman’s.  *sigh*
I have a similar pair though that I have had for probably 10 years that I have broken a strap on.  And they are comfy (which I bet these aren’t). 
Check them out on Heidi Klum at the Golden Globes – totally lovely (as she always is).




Christina’s Favorite Beauty Products – 2008

This is a list of the products that have permanent residency in my beauty cabinet as of the beginning of 2009.  Ok, when I say beauty cabinet, I mean several cabinets, shelves, drawers, my bag, my makeup bag, my makeup rollabout.  Insanity, it is, over here.  In the previous years, I have given my [...]

Christina Loves… skiniD From Neutrogena Dermalogics

I found skiniD in May of this year.  skiniD is a “personalized acne solution” from Neutrogena Dermalogics.  The idea is that you fill out a questionnaire online, and they come up with the perfect solution for your acne troubled skin. 
Personally, my acne troubles are age related, I think.  I am no doubt no [...]




Christina Loves… The Litter Robot

I am going to be one of those crazy old cat ladies – I know I am.  If you happen to keep an eye on my Flickr feed, you know that we have *a lot* of cats.  We do live on a ranch, so I can get away with telling you I have 18 cats, [...]




Christina Loves… Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser

Sometimes I am dense.  I don’t realize how much I love something until it is gone.  This is what has happened with the Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser.  I am out, and now I need it.
You see, I have been blissfully addicted to Bumble & Bumble’s Hair Powder for a long time now.  I [...]




Welcome to 2009 – Predictions and Review of 2008

Yup, its January 5th, and I’m just getting back to work.  It has been a *most* glorious couple of weeks mostly off, that’s for sure.  I hope you got some significant time off too!  I always have a ferociously bad time getting back to the grind, but the best way for me is just to [...]
