I am an excessively pale individual, who has suffered from a severe case of sleep disorders all my life. As a result, I have very pronounced undereye circles that make me look like, essentially, the walking dead. And, given my fair skintone, this is NO understatement. I think I …

As a licensed Nail Technician, I have access to a plethora of nail products, and I am always searching for effective products that live up to their claims. I always try the products on myself before I use them on clients.

The Skin Tonic I found at Bath and Body Works is one of the best cleansers I have. It contains witch hazel, which is known as a pimple-killer. Usually I used to dab a couple of drops on the areas of my face which have pimples and I had …

Every Man Jack is another exclusive-all-male cosmetic line. I discovered this one time online and I was attracted to their post-shave lotion. A post-shave lotion is important to me because it can help minimize razor burns. It can also help moisturize the shaved part which is prone to dryness. Aftershaves …

I’m kind of cowardly when it comes to my hair. I can take a drastic change in length. I can take a drastic change in style. But when it comes to color, I freeze up. Even if you’ve never experienced it first hand, I’m sure you’ve read about at-home …

I am not a metrosexual.
I tell you this ahead of time because, by all appearances to the “modern” uber-macho male, lotion is the definition of a metrosexual product, but before you hit the X-clicker to go pet your playoff beard or epic man-sweater chest hair in cave-grunting defiance, hear …

A few months ago I suffered from a severe acne breakout. There were so many zits all over my face, and three of them already bled because I washed my face too hard. I actually did not have any acne treatment at home so I bought a spot corrector …

Chaps-tick is a key part of life where I am from. It is so dry here in El Paso, that your skin and lips can be left in a horribly dry state. I hate my lips cracking and tend to keep Carmex or Blistex on me at all times. …

I don’t like applying lipgloss or lipstick without a mirror, and I don’t really have time to go to the bathroom to fix my makeup often, so I like long lasting lipgloss. However, that phrase seems to be an oxymoron because I have never really found a lipgloss that …
