Whenever I buy a new product, I always check the ingredients, and make sure none of the first ten ingredients are on my list. Recently [...]

I’ve tried a bunch of new skin care products and makeup recently, and here’s a quick review of a few of them.
Maybelline Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper
I honestly don’t think lip plumpers work to plump up your lips, even in the short-term, but I love lipgloss and this was cheap ($7), compared to most plumping glosses. [...]

Proactiv Solution  is probably the best known acne treatment system, thanks to its infomercials that seem to run 24/7.

The reason I like the site is because it’s an online store, featuring tons of popular skin care and beauty brands (in all price ranges) like Afirm, Cellex-C, Bliss, Burt’s Bees, Dr. Brandt, Kinerase, Murad, Neutrogena, and tons [...]

I was just watching the entertainment show Hollywood Heat on Tru TV and they had a segment about Botox in Hollywood. Botox, it seems, is a no-win situation for actors and actresses.
