Closet Confidential (Style Secrets Learned the Hard Way)

by Jeanne B. at 12:25pm Tue, 27 Oct 2009 under blog to book, Fashion & Beauty, daddy likey, fashion writing
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Closet Confidental.If you're following fashion blogs, and you aren't already reading Daddy Likey, then you are missing out. Fashion can be "serious business" (lighten up, it's just fashion!), but Winona keeps it smart, hysterical, and grounded at the same time.

DDF Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate Helps Me Fake Awake

by Susan Wagner at 9:00am Thu, 22 Oct 2009 under Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and DDF.This will come as a shock to no one, but I don't get nearly enough sleep. In my 20s, I could go weeks without proper rest and still look fresh; these days, one night of a kid up at 3:00 am with a bloody nose and I have dark circles under my eyes for a week.

Tree Hut Brazilian Nut Scrub: Like a Spa in Your Shower

by Susan Wagner at 7:04am Fri, 2 Oct 2009 under Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Tree Hut.I have a not-so-secret love of exfoliating scrubs; I use them on my hands and face and body. And yes, I have a different scrub for each of those parts, because not all skin is created equal. Body scrubs are the hardest to find, I think, because while the basic formula is so simple (something grainy + something moisturizing) it can be difficult to get the right balance.

Styled for a Steal by Suave

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Suave. I'll admit it. When it comes to awards shows, I'm rarely all that interested in who wins. I only care about who wore what, how they accessorized, and what they did with their hair. I've spent many a Golden Globes texting and emailing with friends to ooh and ahh over who looked particularly fabulous and share snarky comments about those who might want to fire their stylist. But, last night was the first time I held a red carpet Emmys party, and I owe it all to Suave!

Body Oils for Pregnant Skin

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Decleor. First, let me deal with the elephant in the room. Mention pregnancy and skincare and all that people want to know boils down to one thing: How do I prevent stretch marks? My answer to you is ... I don't believe you can.(Sorry.)

See ya, Ken - Barbie Loves Stila (and so do I)

by kgseymour at 6:01am Fri, 4 Sep 2009 under Makeup, Eyeshadow, Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Stila. As a little girl, whose makeup did you most admire? For me, it was the 80s, and I loved my mom's blue eyeshadow. But it was always Barbie with that perfect swipe of purple (or blue, or green) on her eyelid that fascinated me. The color and application was so perfect, so pure. And now Stila is offering that same look to all of us.

Votre Vue Brings the Spa Home, for Less than the Cost of the Actual Spa

by Susan Wagner at 9:00am Thu, 3 Sep 2009 under Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Votre Vue. We're all watching our budgets these days, and that can be stressful. A spa day would make it all better, but that's not realistic if you're watching your pennies. Instead, think about splurging (just a little) on really wonderful products for home beauty. In other words, bring the spa home to you.

Adidas Tech L2 - Cool Kicks for Your Cool Kid

by Susan Wagner at 9:40am Fri, 28 Aug 2009 under Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Adidas. Casual wear can be tough, for men and women. Guys often get stuck at the shoe part of the outfit -- after all, most men own dress shoes and tennis shoes and very little in between. Help a guy (your brother or spouse or son or neighbor) out and steer him toward some cool athletic inspired shoes, for those in between occasions.

Bath and Body Works PocketBac Keeps Hands Germ Free

by Susan Wagner at 9:07am Fri, 14 Aug 2009 under Fashion & Beauty
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Bath and Body Works. My kids went back to school this week (envious? you should be!) which means that we've been talking about how to say healthy in the classroom. In addition to worrying about the normal cold and flu stuff, this year we're extra conscious of the swine flu threat, so I've reminded the boys about washing their hands very carefully and not touching their mouth or eyes or nose. I also sent them off to school with a wee tiny bottle of hand sanitizer, just in case.
