Cosmetics industry news and analyses
Even though most of us right now are focusing more on steals than splurges, it’s still great to splurge on one item every now and then.

KohGenDo Chiffon Lip Balm is a non-sticky and versatile lip gloss, combined with natural oils and ingredients that help to nourish your lips and heal them while keeping them healthy.
By now, you know I prefer simple, rounded nails. I don’t like fake nails, nails with jewels on them, square-tip nails, nails where someone has punched a hole in them to hang a dangle-y thing and I especially loathe French pedicures. Yes, I’m a nail snob.
But as a beauty journalist, I must alert you to Sally Hansen’s new Nail Art Pens, currently available at Walgreen’s. They come with a fine tip that allows you to doodle all sorts of designs on your nails, even a fine French manicure and pedicure tip (oh boy). Pick from a variety of colors (electric blue, hot pink, gold and more).
They make the perfect gift for a tween or anyone interested in nail self-expression.
Spring is finally in full swing which also means the daunting task of spring cleaning. Even though we may do a little extra cleaning to our homes each spring, including the dreaded windows, we sometimes forget to clean out our makeup and wash our makeup brushes. I know what you’re thinking: “Oh greatÂ…just another thing to clean and I have no idea where to start or why I need to even do it“.
“Sit still!” I said.
She screamed. Then I screamed. We were like this: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
