Coach Love Eau de Parfum Spray — Getting to the Heart of the Matter

By his own admission, my boyfriend has a terrible sense of smell — in fact, he says there was a year-long span in which he essentially detected no odors whatsoever (a phenomenon that had its unexpected benefits, such as being able to sit peacefully in offensively stinky subway cars, blissfully unaware of the smell that had other strap-hangers covering their noses with scarves and coat lapels).

Hit the “Refresh” Button with the Skin-Reviving Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask

My skin has been staging a coup d’état as of late — ironically, just as I’ve reinvented my entire diet (partly because  years of stress and coffee-chugging have led to ulcers), started working out on a semi-regular basis (I’ve never done much in the form of exercise beyond the occasional yoga or Pilates video), and amassed my own stockpile of vitamins and supplements to boost my cantankerous  immune system.

bareMinerals Spring 2013 Makeup Collection — It’s the Remix, Baby!

Last fall, when makeup brand  bareMinerals released its first collection of pressed eyeshadow  duos and quads, I was  floored by the intensity of the colors in the range and their lustrous finishes, which were consistent with the high quality established by their loose pigment predecessors, but I was particularly relieved to find these stunning eye shadows in a pressed form that proved both portable and mess-free (as most of us know, the “buff, tap, and swirl” technique wasn’t exactly conducive to cleanly vanity tables or bathroom counters).
