Happy Black Friday!
I must confess that shopping is my favorite hobby, and I would do it every day if I could. However, I always boycott stores and malls on Black Friday because I’m afraid of the mass crowds, and it always seemed sort of pointless to fight the crowds. Well last Black Friday I had [...]

From Beauty Snob, I learned that the Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash serum is unsafe to use and it has been recalled by the FDA. You can read the FDA alert here. The product, which is supposed to make your eyelashes grow longer, can cause vision problems. The serum was also not FDA-approved, and since [...]

I haven’t tried this, but have seen a [...]

My favorite beauty store Sephora is having a bunch of awesome promotions for the holidays. I just got their holiday catalog and am drooling over it because I want everything in it. The problem is that I don’t “need” anything! Grrrr.

The secret is out! My favorite sunscreen won for Best Sunscreen in the Best of Sephora 2007 (Woops, I forgot to post this til now). My favorite cleanser also won! I feel so proud! I was at the Mall of America last week and stopped in the Sephora, but I didn’t realize the winners til [...]

Aside for my obsession with skin care, shopping is probably my other favorite topic to think about, and there’s nothing better than shopping for skin care products! A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to visit the Mall Of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, the biggest mall in the country! I was there 8 years ago, and [...]
