Benefit Girl Meets Pearl: Liquid Pearl for Your Face

Beth — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:28:40 +0000

I am generally skeptical about illuminizers. They all seem about the same to me. And they don’t tend to work well with powder foundations, which I wear habitually. But Benefit’s new Girl Meets Pearl, a liquid pearl for you face, is pretty darn beautiful. You can use it under your foundation as a primer, or straight over, on the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose and even your cupid’s bow (above your lip).…

Brazilian Wax Deal During September at Stript Wax Bar in the San Francisco Bay Area

I am very picky when it comes to where I get waxed, so I don’t recommend places lightly. Stript is by far the best I’ve tried, and all my girlfriends who’ve gone agree. They use the best hard wax and their estheticians are nice and very thorough! Stript Wax Bar has 3 locations in the Bay area – the original San Francisco location at 1764 Union St., a Palo Alto location at 524 Bryant St., and…

NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

But I do tell them what product category I absolutely love and recommend everyone start using if they aren’t already: Eyeshadow primer. I can’t even imagine putting anything on my eyes without it. It just doesn’t make sense. So needless to say,…

Pure Silk Cherry Blossom Shaving Cream

I love all things cherry. Cherry pie, cherry-flavored lip gloss, cherry soda, and cherry blossoms. My street in San Francisco is actually lined with cherry trees, and for that week once a year, I absolutely love the beautiful pink blossoms that line my street. Then the leaves fall off and coat my car, and the berries ripen and fall, splattering my sidewalk with glops of messy dark red fruit. But nevermind, the blossoms are the…

Ojon Volumizing 2 Minute Hair Mask

Beth — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:14:51 +0000

Hair masks used to be only for dry or damaged hair. But not anymore. I found one that is designed without someone like me exactly in mind. Ojon’s Volumizing 2–min Hair Mask is made to condition and restore fullness to your hair without leaving it feeling flat or heavy. This is exactly what I want out of a deep conditioner. My hair is very fine and falls flat if any excess of oil is put in…
