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.

To BB or Not to BB…That is the Question

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.

The Very Cool Kate Walsh Comes to Town…

Thursday, May 10th, 2012 by Roz Pactor

I was thrilled to have the chance to visit with Kate Walsh, actress, business woman and activist at the VIP evening party for the Celebrating Triumph Luncheon for the Center for Success and Independence that was being held the next day, May 8th. For those of us that are die-hard Grey’s Anatomy fans, she is Dr. Addison Montgomery of G.A./Private Practice fame and could have been such a bigger than life character, but was instead such a down-to-earth, fun, and genuinely cool lady and the crowd loved her!

Fashionable Packables #2…Beauty’s Minis are Making a Splash for Summer Travel!

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011 by Roz Pactor

Hair and makeup products available at Sephora

It’s finally happening! Something that I have begged for for years (I’m sure this is not a unique request from me and that many of you have asked for this as well!?)  Mini-sized cosmetics are actually being produced for travel in all of the right sizes to get you through security in a breeze.  We’ve all begged our sales person at Neiman’s, Saks, Nordstrom maybe, during heavy travel months for small samples of products that we love, particularly in skin care, where the home jar/bottle is just too big to pack!  Sometimes they had them but not always and if your trip was on the lengthy side, those samples, which were designed for an application or two had you begging shamelessly for more. That is no longer the case…mini-sized cosmetics have arrived! Read the rest of this entry »
