You’re Putting Your Lotion on Wrong

By Amber • Dec 2nd, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY, Skin

I just found out today that there is a “best” way to rub lotion on your body.
Helen Noble, author of newly released Being Simply Beautiful and proprietor of European skin care line Belacrema, says to apply body cream across your abdomen in a clockwise circular motion. This is supposed to follow the way the fluids in [...]



Go Girly-Girl Green

By Amber • Nov 11th, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY, Skin

One reason I’m not as into environmentally friendly beauty products as I should be is that for me, the idea of being “green” sometimes conjures up an image of a treehugging chica with unshaved, smelly pits. Not the sort of image I’m going for.
Luckily, the new bath and body line, Ec-Oooh-Chic, created by Tracy Worthington, [...]

By Amber • Nov 7th, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY, Hair

Why do I love Number 4 High Performance Hair Care, a line of 100 percent vegan, sulfate-free, animal-friendly hair products?

You know how certain smells just take you back in time? Each one of the four collections is inspired by a different Parisian neighborhood. Try the 18ème, named for Montmartre, or the 5ème, representing the Latin [...]



Ripped Tights: Are You Cool Enough?

By Amber • Oct 27th, 2009 • Category: FASHION, Shoes and Accessories

Designers have been showing ripped tights on the runways for a couple years now, but (forgive me for being conservative) I usually need to see some real people rocking an edgy trend before I go there myself.

So I’ve been monitoring this ripped stockings thing and I think now is the time…back in January the celebrities [...]

Age-Inappropriate Beauty

By Amber • Oct 22nd, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY, Hair, Skin

Being an adult suuuuuuuucks….or so I’ve heard. I, myself, am resisting becoming an adult for as long as I possibly can. To that end, I’ve found a line of all-natural skin, hair and beauty products designed for girls that smell great and get along well with my Hannah Montana vitamins.
Girl Power Beauty products, from Lavish [...]



Top Five Yummy Apple-Inspired Beauty Products

By Amber • Oct 15th, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY

I’ve been on an apple kick since spending last weekend at my parents’ house, where the apples are ripe for the picking. First it was gorging myself on my mom’s apple pie, then I progressed to Affy Tapple candy apples.
Now I’m on to apple beauty products.

Epionce is a skin care line sold exclusively out of [...]

Get a Smooth Coochy

By Amber • Oct 6th, 2009 • Category: BEAUTY, Skin

My friend S. is the queen of hair removal. Not only does she shave her arms, but she was also the first I knew of to go completely bare – “down there.”
So when she told me about a product (called Coochy Crème) she uses that makes her legs and other, uh, parts, as smooth as [...]
