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.

Out in the sun this summer? Even if you're super diligent about your sunscreen, the sun can wreak havoc on your skin.  Just back from a cruise where sitting on the top deck of the ship makes you feel even closer to the sun, I've found a new daily go-to beauty product.

Atopalm Moisturizing Skin Revitalizing Complex ($35 at www.atopalm.com) is the perfect antidote for combatting the effects of the sun. This rich, advanced anti-aging skin care treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, laugh lines, rough skin, and more.  Employing a blend of peptides, vitamin C, and other unique anti-aging ingredients, as well as Atopalm’s MLE technology, it replenishes hydration, leading to a softer, suppler, and more radiant complexion.
