The Beauty Bug will have what she’s having…and by that she means Dr. Gervaise Gerstner. The 38-year old drop-dead darling derm, who doesn’t look a day over 29 (check her out in the new L’Oreal spot below),  is the new consulting doctor behind the brand’s new Youth Code Dark Spot Correcting and Illuminating line. Long-time readers know [...]

DIANA AGRON Makeup artist Monica Blunder was inspired by the spring 2012 fashion shows where the makeup was fresh but still very glamorous.  Since Dianna’s red Giles dress was so “va va voom,” Monika focused on the lips to be the stand out feature. Monika kept Julianna’s skin simple and fresh with a bit of [...]

While we’re only a few days into 2011, and The Beauty Bug’s CVS Extracare card has been working overtime! Check out these must-have drugstore finds.

While shopping in Macy’s a few months ago, The Beauty Bug made a quick stop at the Lancome counter to check out their new Oscillation Powerfoundation – a micro-vibrating mineral foundation (She’s not a fan, but that’s another post for another time).  Also interested in the new foundation was an older woman who just couldn’t [...]

With more and more mascaras filing up the aisles of your local CVS, The Beauty Bug decided to seperate the “seperators” from the “clumpers”.  Let the show down begin! CoverGirl Exact Eyelights – Were you sucked in by the Rihanna magazine ads? Unfortunately, The Beauty Bug was.  This is nothing but ColorGirl VolumeExact repackaged. No [...]

As The Beauty Bug combed through the September issue of Allure (She waited at her mailbox for this issue – you have no idea how excited She was to get it), L’Oreal’s new Skin Genesis Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate caught her eye. The expert consulted, the director of the Institute of Anti-Aging Research in Virginia [...]

The Beauty Bug has always said that great minds think alike… A London woman recently “lashed” out against L’Oreal after she suspected that Penelope Cruz was wearing false eyelashes in the commercial for its Telescopic Mascara. She protested to the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority who surprisingly listened and act. Refreshing, isn’t it? If you recall, [...]

As a young Bug, The Beauty Bug always idolized the MAC makeup artists at her local mall. She’d visit them often and they all knew Her. The Beauty Bug remembers a time when she’d go to the counter (this was maybe, 5-8 years ago) and her favorite MAC artist would tell her not to buy [...]
