Beauty Emergency : Stolen Moisturizer

I’m not lying when I say the low point of this week was finding out someone stole my first Gilt Group purchase, a $25 starter kit of products from Jessica Simpon’s line, BeautyMint. The Lipstick Effect truly is solid economic theory; months ago I came home to a Staples delivery to find my new shredder [...]

DIY Travel Beauty

I’m the last person to talk about the benefits about sugar, but I’m not talking about eating it here. Most beauty junkies are no stranger to the many sugar-based body scrubs on the market, the most of popular of which is the brown sugar scrub from Fresh.
