It’s a Beauty-ful time of year for shopping for great gifts for your best friends and family.  At my house, my girls love their stockings filled with lots of beauty must-haves that are either basics, that only Mom knows what to get or a few fun things that are new & exciting for them to try.  The same goes for my gal pals, makes great holiday luncheon gifts for all.

Time “To Play” with Jouer Cosmetics

Thursday, August 16th, 2012 by Roz Pactor

By Patricia McGill Boland

One of my all-time favorite pick-me-ups has always been a new makeup palette.  I just love the concept of all my products and colors in one place, and after all, what’s not to love?  Except that it seems all the products are mostly sample sizes, my powder eye shadow always seems to migrate into my lip gloss and there are always at least two shades I would never wear because they appear to be created for a Vegas showgirl.  Okay, maybe I only loved the IDEA of a makeup palette, that is until Roz and I met Christina Zilber, founder of Jouer Cosmetics, who has led the way to making palettes personalized and user-friendly while eliminating all of those pet peeves we hate.  Her philosophy of “minimal fuss, high impact…where fashion meets function” should be awarded a gold medal in the category of beauty.

When it comes to summertime beauty everyone knows that less is more.  After all, why spend all that extra time slathering on countless products when there is a pool and margarita calling your name?  But how do you decide which product to give up?  Is it the primer or foundation?  SPF or moisturizer?  Fear not, for now you can get all of these beauty benefits in only one essential product.  Behold…the BB Cream, a one-step wonder that delivers multiple benefits faster than you can say “cabana boy!”

BB Cream (short for “Beauty/Blemish Balm”) is the hottest new item to hit makeup counters in the US.  A hybrid of skincare and makeup, they’ve been a secret of women in Asia for years.  About 10 years ago, they learned how to condense their beauty routine without sacrificing any of the benefits.  I was overwhelmed last year during my trip to Hong Kong by the number of BB Creams in their market.  Whether I went to a small corner store (like our CVS) or a major shopping mall, BB Creams were abundant and everyone had a favorite.  Thankfully, US companies have caught on to the trend and are eager to offer their own version to American women.

RX Skin Therapy…Beauty Really is Skin Deep!

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 by Roz Pactor

If you want healthier looking skin on the outside, would it not make sense that you turn to those experts that you depend on to make you feel better on the inside.  And, if it’s true that beauty starts from within, I’d like to share a new skin care line that has been developed, produced and is available through none other than your local compound pharmacist, or for those of us in H-town, your local online pharmacy, RX Skin Therapy website.  Read the rest of this entry »

Puckered in Red

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 by Roz Pactor

Why have I worn RED lipstick most of my adult days?  Maybe it’s because it can be Classic, Flirtatious, and Chic, basically anything I want it to be?!   For me, it doesn’t really matter that for this coming season it’s one of the hottest beauty trends out there, because it’s always been Number ONE for me!
