Koh Gen Do Sponges, Puffs, Glosses, and More

I came across Koh Gen Do while shopping at Barneys and was reeled in by their effective, but velvety smooth sponges ($18), Pressed Powder Puffs ($14), and Cotton Pads ($12) that have not been chemically treated.

I know, I know we DO have Bergdorf Goodman and there is a Target all the way in the boonies on 117th, but I’m not going to count that one because it’s, well, in the boonies!

Elizabeth Arden’s Spring/Summer 2011 Launches

I’m always surprised at how relatively affordable Elizabeth Arden is. Maybe it’s because growing up I often passed their Red Door Spa, which looked so glam to me as a kid, but in my head they’re way more luxurious than their prices would suggest. The one place the brand is lacking, in my opinion, is … Continue reading “Elizabeth Arden’s Spring/Summer 2011 Launches”

Cargo Classic Lip Gloss with Timestrip Technology: My Lip Gloss is Smarter Than Yours

Like most beauty addicts, I have roughly a billion tubes of lip gloss. Okay, not literally one billion, but countless. They are lying around all over; just this morning, a few were discovered in a bag I hadn’t used in awhile. There is NOTHING worse than old lip gloss – that whiff of used car … Continue reading “Cargo Classic Lip Gloss with Timestrip Technology: My Lip Gloss is Smarter Than Yours”
