Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and those of us holding the mascara wand.

After two decades of covering the beauty industry, I've come to learn what makes it so alluring. Finding the perfect shade of makeup to match your skin tone, adding a swipe of eyeliner to give your tired eyes a lift, discovering an innovative new product line, or indulging in a totally luxurious spa treatment. My experiences have been documented in magazines, newspapers and websites worldwide. I've tested newly formulated products in the lab, explored hair removal options, shopped for lipstick, added shine to my hair and succumbed to massage marathons--all in the name of beauty. I've written press releases, hosted makeover events and co-authored a Do-It-Yourself Beauty book (Alloy). On this blog, I write about products and services that I come across every day as well as those that have been provided by publicists or the companies that make them. Either way, I write what I think. I hope to share some of my insights--and bring you the latest, greatest beauty news right here. Join me in the quest to find all things pretty.

TREND -- PLAYFUL COLOR NAILS
The hot nail colors for spring are fresh, bold and fun to wear. Thanks to the talented podiatrists behind Dr.'s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish, this season we can indulge in some pretty amazing shades that are free of formaldehyde and toxins found in most commercial nail polish and look great too. Try "Grateful Grape", "Hopeful Hot Pink", or "Youthful Yellow" and prepare to wow them with your new look. $17 each, at www.remedynails.com


TREND -- FOAM
When warmer weather comes along, the last thing you want is to feel a heavy layer of foundation on your face. New scientifically advanced Dream Nude AirFoam Foundation from Maybelline is a remarkably ultra-lightweight formula. The refined pigments are pre-dispersed in the air for effortless application and 100% nude perfection. Plus, it has SPF 16, doesn't clog pores and is great for any skin tone.
