Technology has given us space travel, treatments for cancer, and– with enough money– the opportunity to look like a life-sized Barbie doll. Yet just about every woman on this planet, whether she’s husky or thin, tall, short, a working girl, model, actress or secretary, is afflicted with cellulite. Pesky, embarrassing cellulite. Some say it’s just [...]

We’ve been told from day one that sunscreen was a must when heading outdoors– especially if we were planning on spending any actual time baking. I have a couple of additional factors against me when it comes to UV protection– I’m super pale and generally too lazy to rub myself down whenever I go outside, [...]

The only lip product I’ve found to be true to its promise. This stuff works beautifully as a lipstain, or a deep crimson shade if you’re daring. I tested it at a wedding– drinking, dancing, eating, kissing, crying, wiping, dabbing, gasping, and? Buyer beware– when they say it doesn’t come off? At all? For sixteen [...]
