I’m always trying new sunscreens. It’s challenging to find one that works well under makeup without being greasy.
MAC Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15
Trust Paula to find the superstars

6 MAKEUP SHIMMER DO’S
February 16, 2008
In the article published on January 18, 2008, entitled 10 Wrong Ways to Use Shimmer in Makeup, … well, I made it sound as though there was no right way to use shimmer in makeup.
Not true. Shiny products have the ability to bring out the best (as well as the worst). It only takes a [...]
ANTI-AGING STRATEGY 2 : DAY OF MENTAL PURIFICATION
February 10, 2008
Day of Purification sounds somewhat fanatical. The title could equally well be Day Of Clearing-Out-Your-Head. Really, these are just updates from my life. I’m having a mental health day today to celebrate being alone in my home. That probably hasn’t happened since 2002.

I am infuriated at [...]
THE DOVE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL BEAUTY:WATCH THESE ADS

Do not wear makeup…but do it for the right reason
It is entirely unnecessary to wear makeup. It could be argued that caring too much about your skin’s natural appearance is also just vanity. Being healthy and clean should be enough, and if the skin changes as it ages or with exposure to sun, then [...]
SUNSCREEN MATTERS TO YOU
October 17, 2007
This is the second article in the Skin Care category, but by order of importance, it should have been the first. I might keep posting it once a month to make sure no one misses it.

Whether you are fifteen or forty, you need [...]
THE BEAUTY BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE
October 14, 2007
This is the second story that will introduce the series of articles on how to select skin care and makeup products that do what you expect them to. Most of the time, skin care products are like computers - they hardly ever do what you think they will. I want to talk to you about [...]
Read moreTHE BEST EYE CREAM
October 10, 2007
I don’t want any more time to go by without you knowing about this fantastic product, so it is the first article in the Skin Care category. I have never used a better eye cream. It’s called Skin Recovery Moisturizer. It’s made by Paula’s Choice.
