Can Mineral Makeup Be Bad For Your Skin?
2007-11-07 10:27:00 Mineral makeup has become all the rage lately, and I see infomercials for it constantly, stores devoted to mineral makeup that have sprung up, and now most of the mainstream drugstore companies have launched their own mineral makeup lines.

My Favorite Skin Care Mask & Facial Scrub
2007-11-06 09:46:00 Once a week I like to take an extra step with my skin care routine and do an exfoliating scrub treatment, or a hydrating mask.

Laser Hair Removal - Worth Another Chance?
2007-10-26 09:35:00 I wrote a not so glowing review of laser hair removal recently, but I am still considering getting it again.
