Reader Amy suggested that I try Photoshopping under-eye fat deposits on myself to see if my theory proves correct. What do you think? Do my eyes look larger with the under-eye bags? For those who are wondering, this picture was taken after one too many drinks at a wedding, when I proceeded to steal the […]
Extra Fat Under Your Eyes May Make Them Look Larger
One thing I noticed lately is the prevalence of Korean celebrities who have large fat deposits under their eyes. This picture of the new girl group Rainbow was what prompted my new curiosity. Koreans (well, Asians in general) can have very warped views on attractiveness and appearances. I wondered if puffy under-eyes now counted as […]
The Return of the Cone Bra
I read on StyleList yesterday that the cone bra, or the “pointy bra,” is making a comeback. I have always loved the fashion and trends of the 1950s and 1960s so I’m a bit intrigued. Of course, I would draw the line at something as extreme as this. But the photo of Marilyn Monroe above, […]
Say It Isn’t So, Prescriptives!
I just read on Blogdorf Goodman that Prescriptives will be closing its doors in 2010. While I don’t use their makeup line much, I have been a hardcore fan of the Prescriptives All Clean Fresh Foaming Cleanser for years. In fact, it is the ONLY cleanser I have used in 2001! Does anyone know where […]
Koreans and the Small Face Phenomenon
Having grown up in the U.S., I have heard on more than one occasion that celebrities possess larger heads compared to those of the general population, the idea being that the larger head will have larger features, which will show better on screen. There is even an episode of Entourage where Turtle proclaims, “The bigger […]
My Vixen Nails
Last night’s girls night out was one of the craziest in recent memory. I won’t go into too much details, but suffice it to say that I stumbled home at an unreasonable hour and spent a good portion of the morning hugging the toilet. Although we had made dinner plans, my friend E told me […]
RevitaLash
Harro! Remember me, the girl with the non-existent eyelashes? Last year I tried eyelash extensions and loved the look. I had long, sexy lashes for the first time in my life! It was a miracle! After a few courses, however, I decided that the treatments were making too big a dent in my wallet. Back […]
Product Review: Jonathan Serious Volume Shampoo & Conditioner
Ever since I watched the first two seasons of Bravo’s Blow-Out, I’ve wanted to try the Jonathan line of hair products. A couple of months ago, I picked up a sample jar of Jonathan’s Dirt at my local Sephora. It was the most popular product in Jonathan’s product line and I was tempted to try […]
Favorite Beauty Products
I’m pretty cheap when it comes to most items but the three things I splurge on are gadgets, handbags, and anything that goes on my face…aka beauty products. And as a natural researcher by heart (and trade), I research and test items from all three categories to death before making any purchases, especially if a lot of money is […]
Eyelash Extensions
Are you one of those lucky people who are blessed with long, lush eyelashes that never need mascara or even curling? Well, I hate you. I have very short and very sparse lashes that are practically non-existent. I still remember a couple of years ago when my mother first read about trichotillomania (the disorder where you pull your own […]
