confessions {of a beauty product addict}


I'll try anything. If Andrea Linnet (Lucky beauty editor) writes that a mascara is the absolute best e v e r, I'll be at Target the next day to get my hands on the little beauty miracle. I don't really see this as a problem, though I don't wait for things to ever run out before buying up the next round of hope-in-a-jar, and it all kind of piles up in the bathroom closet.
In Kauai, I brought with me a stack of magazines so big they almost needed their own suitcase. I had it all; InStyle, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Lucky, Domino, People, Us, Conde Nast Traveler, Star, Self & Shape. The InStyle alone weighs in at about 6 pounds. In each, now tattered with sand filled pages and rippled edges, I've dog-earred the pages with products I think I may have to try. Has anyone tried any of these self proclaimed beauty miracles? (or am I going to have to spend my next paycheck trying them out and reporting back?)

1. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Créme Serum Overnight Repair Formula - promises to 'stimulate deep transformational mending' overnight, repairing your split ends and leaving you with hair that dazzles with shine after just one nights sleep

  2. Welcome back! I've used the Neutrogena Triple Moisture and found it to build up on my hair - and I have very thick hair. So I guess I'm not a super big fan of the product. I do love Netrogena's face wash and daily moisturizer.

  3. I think the absolutely BEST facial blotters are just plain old Clean and Clear blotting sheets that you can get in any discount or drug store (with all the Clean and Clear acne products). They are these miraculous little blue plastic sheets that suck the oil/shine off your face like you can't believe--without so much as a smudge on your make-up. Really. . .the BEST!
