If you purchase a product “made” and/or endorsed by Lindsay Lohan, you deserve whatever happens to you. I know this.  Anyone with common sense knows this.  And yet, I allowed the saleman with spiky hair at a Sephora in West Palm Beach convince me that Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist was a smart investment.  In my [...]

Finn here again. I’ve got a lot to say. Apparently. I’m not hard to buy for—if you pay attention. But so many people just don’t. Or at least that don’t pay enough attention. Maybe they realize that I am a perfume whore (The more the merrier, I say and I’m not ashamed). What they don’t [...]

My friend Megan introduced me to Bare Escentuals bareMinerals makeup a few months ago, and I have been in love ever since – with only one complaint.

The idea of a lip plumper is intriguing to me. According to commercials and reviews, a cosmetic lip plumper is a product you apply like lip gloss and it makes your lips appear fuller. Like collagen, but without the needles or doctor appointments. Now, I am blessed to have fairly full lips.  My face might [...]
