When Was Your Last Haircut?

May 6th, 2010 by Karen 83 Comments

Crikey! I’m waaay overdue for a trim. My last run-in with a scissors was December, and now my layers are all out of whack.

The situation with my roots is even worse (three words: hella white hairs). I’d planned a trip to the salon next week, but my May astrology chart (yes, I’m serious) says I should postpone any big physical changes until after Mercury comes out of retrograde… I know, I know — it’s kinda kooky to base styling decisions on planetary alignments, but Susan Miller rarely lets me down. 🙂

What about you? When was your last haircut?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

Bobbi Brown Made Treatment Lip Shine a Lippie Triple Threat

May 5th, 2010 by Karen 46 Comments

Bobbi Brown Treatment Lip Shine

Back in my musical theater days, I wasn’t one of those people who could do it all — sing, dance AND act. They existed, though, little jacks and jills of all trades on the stage, and we called them triple threats!

Neutrogena Hydrating Cleansing Towelettes: Another Great Reason to Wear Makeup

May 5th, 2010 by Karen 40 Comments

neutrogena makeup remover cleansing towelettes hydrating review

Reason No. 352 to love makeup: It provides a valid excuse to test new ways to REMOVE makeup. 🙂

This may not come as a complete surprise, but I have a soft spot for makeup wipes… What can I say? I appreciate anything that helps me feel productive while my booty’s parked in front of the TV (SIDE NOTE: I’m caught up on episodes of Entourage now; two thumbs up! Can’t wait for the new season to start).

Lately I’ve been testing Neutrogena’s new Hydrating Cleansing Towelettes ($7 for 25). As the newest addition to Neutrogena’s line of makeup removing wipes, they come pre-moistened with glycerin and the soothing extracts of cucumber and aloe.

Four pics of the Tabbinator taken by my desk computer.

Notice his expression in the pic on the upper left. This pretty much summarizes our cat/human slave relationship to a tee.
