I Am Sad My New Lipstick Is Yucky
I just need to get this out. I went into Saks Fifth Ave in New York to find my Bobbi Brown lipstick, and instead I was caught in the web of a very aggressive sales lady who was trying to sell me skin care. I realized the only way I was getting away from her [...]
It’s Getting Hot In Here
Now that we are heading into warmer weather, this is a good time to remember what heat and humidity does to our products. Once, I had the bright idea to leave my sunscreen in my car, so I could reapply when needed. One warm day, I pumped out a little of the lotion with SPF, [...]
Beauty Alert! is in the New York Times!!!!
Beauty Alert! will be in the Thursday Styles, Skin Deep section tomorrow morning. I might be one of the last people who gets a real paper on my porch, and I will wake up early to look at it in all the black and white glory. Yay! I love the New York Times!!! Next time, Sunday [...]
A New Jar
I just opened my new jar of Bobbi Brown’s tinted moisturizer with SPF. I love products that come in a big, glass jar. I know that products with a pump keep bacteria out…but this time I promised myself “no double dipping” and I will use only a Q-Tip…and no fingers. That is the hard part, [...]
Dr. Diane Chiu, dermatologist

Every day, I advise people about what products are [...]

Mascara and Your Eye Health
Mascara, according to the FDA website, should be tossed between 2 and 4 months. Beauty Alert! says 3 months, because a medical journal* that published test results gives the actual levels of bacteria in a controlled test, and 3 seems to be the number. I have a client who gets a new mascara every month, [...]
Eye and Lip Pencils
Eye and lip pencils must be kept sharp. I keep seeing things online that give a “use by date” for pencils, and the truth is, if you keep them sharp and sharpen them each time you use them, it is a good guideline for keeping them clean and fresh. Also, you can clean your pencil [...]
We are in the LA Times!
We are in the LA Times! “Cosmetics, skin-care products don’t last forever” One of the best articles I have read on old make-up and crusty loofas. Yuck. And yikes. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/14/image/la-ig-beauty14-20100212
