I swear, this rainy, not rainy - just cloudy, oh wait, it's 45 degrees, no, wait - it's 74 degrees weather here in Oklahoma is doing a number on my skin - esp my legs. They are like itchy scratchy all the time, esp since I wear jeans over'em daily. W...

Victoria's Velvet fragrance

Tomorrow there is an event in NYC at the Victoria's Secret, on Lexington, for the launch of VS's new fragrance, "Velvet: The Fragrance". Now, I don't know anything about this scent, but the thing that caught my eye was the fact that you could get a ...

Grate your shadow as you go

I just saw a new Smashbox product for pre-order on QVC that looks kinda interesting. Actually, it looks like what would be spawned if Smashbox's Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder and the Reign Collection Eyeshadow Palette had babies. It is a shaver de...

I was lucky enough to be backstage for the Christian Siriano Spring/Summer 2010 show. (*yes, this is the show that I accessed backstage via the front of house. Go me!). The hair team from Aveda was led by Antoinette Beenders and the makeup team as l...

As you might know, I had a chance to go to NYC for the Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week shows. It was an tremendous opportunity, and I learned so many things as a newbie, that I thought I would share some of my knowledge with you: Always be nice to t...

Leaving on a jet plane....again

09/09/2009 at 04:54AM

Well, if you follow me on twitter, then you know all about the drama I had trying to get to NYC yesterday. I am just going to pretend that it wasn't scary and was just a trial run to get ready for today. I'm going to NYC for the Total Beauty Summit a...

Tousling is such a funny word

08/31/2009 at 09:27AM

Hey, do you guys remember when Herbal Essences was all porny? "A totally organic experience." Really? Anyway, I am so glad they are over that. Nowadays, I don't think you can buy the body wash any more, but they have definitely branched out in the ha...
