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, [...]
Sole Survivor
Finding a great beauty product at a farmer’s market seems unlikely. But last Sunday, I came across a local company called Brown Butterfly. I bought the foot cream they make, called “Sole Survivor”. It is light and creamy, like whipped cream, and it has tea tree, lavender and peppermint. It contains no chemical preservatives, so [...]
Confessions of a Lipstick Hoarder
My sister in law just left town, and on our last lunch she made a confession. She had this lipstick she bought…20 YEARS AGO!!!!! And she finally realized maybe it wasn’t so great anymore when she put it on and it changed color. The thing she loved about the lipstick was the color, a shade [...]
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

Labels, I thought: “What a simple but brilliant idea…I can’t believe no one’s thought of it earlier!” As a cosmetic and medical dermatologist, I value the importance of what my patients are applying to their face and body. Every day, I advise people about what products are [...]
Keeping Track of Your Golf Ball
My client’s mother uses our Beauty Alert! waterproof and writable labels to keep track of her golf balls. Not only do they stay on the surface of the ball, the label can withstand all kinds of abuse. I have even put one through the dishwasher on my Pyrex dish. Anyway, good to know that even [...]
Telling A Friend Their Make-up is Messed up
I got an email the other day from a friend who needed advice on how to help her mother with her eyeliner. Her mom wears an eyeliner that ends up all under her eyes. This has been going on for a while now, but…how to bring it up in a way that promotes change, but [...]
Wow! We are Thrilled!
Inventor Spot has named us the #2 invention for women and moms! We are thrilled. Alissa and I wish we could give a heart felt speech about how we feel about this project, how long we worked on it, and what we hope for it. We want to make it better and better, and hope [...]
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
