Bit By the Beauty Bug

No matter what your style is, there are two staples that every fashion-forward woman can not leave home without – a fabulous mascara and the perfect pair pumps (Richard Tyler pumps, of course). Since this is a beauty site, let’s talk about the mascara first – Max Factor’s new Volume Couture Mascara. Even though this [...]

This photo is for Mom – thanks again for my Black Satin! P.S. The little Vietnamese lady who gave me this manicure thought “I was going to look like Halloween” with my nails like this. P.P.S. Thanks Joel for being the patient photographer!

The Beauty Bug had a truly beauteous Hanukkah thanks for her mother and step father, and her boyfriend. Thank you all. She received clothes, and beauty products galore so expect a lot more reviews of the products pictured above.
