Your hair looks dull and damaged, your skin could break out, or you could get a yeast infection…and give it to someone else…even men can get them 😱. Some products claim to…
YoDerm Online Dermatology
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyZApk_KR0k] The thought of online consultations with any type of doctor brings Lisa Kudrow in Web Therapy to mind: I was contacted by YoDerm ($10 off, click here) and asked if I’d like to review their online dermatology service (this is not sponsored).

Bliss-ful
I have been using and raving about Bliss products for over a decade: they smell and feel invigoratingly amazing, the texture feels rich, smooth, or creamy, and the quality is great. I was first introduced to the brand at a hotel (W?) in New York, and after getting a sample of the lemon sage body…
Friends with Benefit
Benefit cosmetics has long lead a cult following, and products like “Roller Lash” and “They’re Real” are now household names. I’ve been using Benefit for years and years. I used the eye-con for years alone…seems like it’s discontinued or repackaged.

May I? May Mags
Jennifer Lopez serves up some blank model gaze on the cover of W Magazine’s May issue, with an illegible “One & Only” title matching the logo in pastel rainbow gradation. She wears a black bra beneath a  white lace buttonup and an open-front black cardigan with white trip.  The makeup is a nude lip, subtly…
A Beautiful Read
Can You Get Hooked on Lip Balm, by Perry Romanowski, is one of the most informative books I’ve ever read on beauty and cosmetics, as well as “drugs.” If you’ve been curious about ingredients, health hazards, and myths surrounding the beauty products we use daily- you’ve got to read this book! Romanowski has a casual…
Types of Clay Masks
China White Clay– a delicate type of Kaolin clay that’s great for normal or dry skin-types because it does not draw oil or moisture from the skin like other types of clay. French Green Clay, a type of Illite clay that is great for oily skin because it does draw oil from pores. Bentonite: a…
