quick link: do your sunglasses’ price tag matter?
16. June 2008


Apparently, you should double-check the label on your sunglasses when you buy then. Although the Beauty Brains say that price isn’t really a factor, but cheap sunglasses can have less than adequate protection.

See the Beauty Brains’ whole explanation about sunglasses protection.

quick link: lotion bars
18. January 2008


I’ve long been curious about Lush lotion bars. They sound so eco-friendly and massaging at the same time! The Beauty Brains is nice enough to explore whether they’re worth your cash or not.

good reads: lovely magazine

lovely mag has lovely pics

Generally, I’m too lazy to read magazines online. All that clicking, you know? But I got a e-mail from the folks at Lovely and I have to say, their mag is cute and well done. It’s very Flash heavy, so don’t go clicking if you’ve got a slow connection, but it’s full of gorgeous clothes and photography, like the pretty editorial above (from December’s issue). There’s also really good articles about beauty, as well.

No more mags cluttering my mailbox and killing trees. I might have been converted.

Go read Lovely.

Hot is bad for your skin
23. April 2007


The Boy tells me this all the time. He’s apalled at how hot the water is when I shower. It is pretty hot. But it’s so comforting to step into a hot, steamy shower. Well, I guess, says the Beauty Brains, he’s right.

Hot water only makes your skin more dry. Boo.

mmmm…hairy?

Braun 5270 Silk-épil X\'elle Body System Epilator

So, I’ve moved on from the wax strips, at least for my legs and armpits. I have an epilator now, thanks to a price mistake at Bed, Bath and Beyond and the fabulous 20 percent off coupon they keeps sending me.

You can get the same one for a little bit more at Amazon. Regardless, it’s not for the weak. It’s basically 40 tweezers pulling at your hair. But isn’t waxing just as bad? I didn’t get all the attachments I think I was supposed to get. No shaver head, and i don’t have a bikini head. I tried it once on my bikini, but I’m not sure I’m going to do it again. It was….painful. More painful than I’d like.

But my legs, they aren’t bad. I use my epilator about once a week maybe and I end up pretty smooth. I can save my money by not buying razor heads ever couple of months or so.

Overall, I love the thing. It’s nice to not have to worry about shaving everyday without spending the cash to get waxed all the time.

Boot me over there!
01. March 2007


The Budget Fashionista tells me that UK-based Boots will be at Target starting this month. Hurrah! Boots is a fantastic UK drugstore that is better even than CVS, but maybe not Ulta, if you count Ulta as a drugstore (I get my beauty addictions there?).

There will be dietary supplements (eh), body butters (yay!) and skin-care regimens, like lazy-girl face wipes (super yay!).

Be on the lookout.
