I am a huge fan of Vaseline – all the way from the petroleum jelly (as evidenced by my 50 uses for Vaseline post, which remains my most popular post of all time) down to their wonderful body lotions. This video is an introduction to the science behind their Sheer Infusion product. The long and [...]
Britney, girl, WHERE IS YOUR STYLIST? Did you fire her? Do you think you have taste enough to go it on your own? I love you, but, no.

Science junkies like me might not want to miss this totally interesting article from last week in the New York Times regarding ancient Egyptian makeup that has been preserved at The Louvre and recently analyzed by researchers. As it turns out, the makeup was found to be based on lead and other materials we [...]
I love big, gorgeous coffee table books about beauty and fashion, and the new one from Scott Barnes, About Face, does not disappoint. Barnes is best known as Jennifer Lopez’s makeup artist, and he has compiled a beautiful book of makeovers, celebrity makeup and tips and tricks for “everywoman.” I forgive him for including [...]

I honestly can’t remember where I got a hold of my first product from the iQ Derma Clear Remedy Acne Treatment System – in fact, when I started using the Acne Treatment Lotion, I had no idea it was part of a “system.” This has been in my cabinet steadily for at least a year. [...]
