A decade is a long time. Think of how young you were a decade ago. Think of what you were wearing a decade ago. Yeah. Scary. But when we talk about Sephora–and the mecca it is to so many of us beauty junkies–a decade means 10 years of beautiful success. I remember the first time […]

Hello there, girls. I hope you’re all enjoying your summers. I am mine, thank you. Except…okay, if I can be nit-picky here, I’m just not that into summer nail polish. The bright oranges, yellows, greens and pinks are all fabulous–I adore it when other chicas sport them confidently, prancing their vivid toes in fierce platform […]

So, speaking of tiny treasures…have any of you ladies tried Mini Bourjois (sephora.com)? They are miniature versions of Bourjois favorites–like their Effet 3D Gloss and Volume Glamour Ultra Mascara–that you can hang from your key ring or cell phone. Cute and convenient! Can your other key chains do anything this cool?

Hola chicas! You’ve heard me say before what a sucker I am for cute packaging. But sometimes a product is well-packaged and well-meaning, and for those I just flip. Lippman Collection Start Me Up kit ($40, Nordstrom stores nationwide and lippmancollection.com) has the best of intentions: It includes a cuticle remover and oil, 2 Second […]

I’m writing this blog post from a courthouse in New York City. Ay dios mio, you must be wondering why the hell I’m in here.
It all comes down to a bad break-up…with my former roommate. She’s taking me to court for an “illegal lockout”dispute. Forget the fact that home girl hasn’t lived in my […]

I just got some bad news today. Sad news, I should say. Did you ever notice how bad news creates this horrid rippling effect throughout your body? Your brain hears the news, your stomach churns to process it, your legs go weak, your eyes start to water and hours later, you’re a nauseous, jelly-limbed, […]

Hola chicas! What a busy week this last one was–I have so many things to share with you! First, I was on TV on Friday! Latina did a beauty segment on CW 11 morning news about updating your beauty routine (check out cw11.com for photos or clips), and we worked with Maybelline to create some […]

Last weekend I trekked to the Hamptons for my friend Tina’s bachelorette party. For two days, I was living the good life–window shopping in high end stores, staring at ritzy people (like Russell Simmons) and sill bachelorette games like this:

Saturday night was our “Let’s go crazy!” night. We had a lovely dinner at The Lodge […]

I’ll be 29 in August. In the twilight of my twenties, I’ve begun to see ch-ch-changes. There are some good ones: I speak a little stronger, my boobs are a little bigger, my attitude just a touch more confident. But then there are the bad ones: My arms are a little flabbier, and the crinkly […]

So I’m sitting here at my desk listening to some overplayed Rihanna song (“Don’t Stop the Music”–I don’t care, I love it), contemplating my lip color choice for the evening. See chicas, I have a date tonight. I know: I’ve got to be lookin’ my hottest self. And lipgloss is like the hot fudge to […]
