It’s Like a Spaaa for Your Showah

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Many times, people that meet The Beauty Bug for the first time ask Her why She doesn’t have a Boston accent. Some even sound disappointed. “Well, haven’t you lived here all your life?”, they ask. The Beauty bug would nod, and they would just stare - seeming dissatisfied and confused. She really doesn’t have [...]

A Quick Swiss Beauty Fix

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Try saying that 5 times fast!

The Beauty Bug once had a boss from Switzerland. He’d prance around the office calling Her “Sweetie Darling”, and babble on about the latest runway collections from Heatherette, and how he had just got off the phone with Lydia Hearst’s agent. He told Her that Her Miu-Miu bag was [...]

When to Judge a Product by its Packaging…

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Today, during a quick trip to one of her most favorite stores, CVS, The Beauty Bug spotted these masks and She was stopped dead in her tracks. The Beauty Bug usually subscribes to idea that one should never judge a mask by its packaging, but this is the exception to the rule. The second these [...]

SkinCeuticals to the Rescue

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

When The Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing mask didn’t work, The Beauty Bug turned to the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Masque, hoping that it could balance and restore Her skin.

A Halloween Mask for the Beauty Junkie

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Halloween has never been The Beauty Bug’s holiday. She never really saw the point of spending money on a costume that will be worn once - She’s much rather spend the money on shampoo or a new face wash.
But, She will be celebrating Halloween, Beauty Bug style of course - with the Peter Thomas Roth [...]

Le-Dekor Cucumber Mask

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Long time readers know that The Beauty Bug is crazy about masks. Late last week, She received a package from her west coast beauty buddy, Julie, with a “Cucumber Mask Pack” that she bought in Korea-town.
The Beauty Bug was anxious to try it - She’s always been mystified by eastern cultures, and their practices, and [...]

Review: Calme Essentials Collagen Face Mask

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

The Beauty Bug first learned about this mask on a flight from LA to NY - a women three seats over put it on mid-flight. She was intrigued and petrified at the same time; petrified because it’s the Beauty Bug’s opinion that this mask should only be worn in the privacy of your own home. [...]

Joey New York Specialty Quick Lunchtime Peel

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

The Beauty Bug loves masks like she loves Fendi Bags - She will never have enough of either (although if She ever gets a Spy Bag - that may be enough. OK, maybe not). She was sent the Joey New York Specialty Quick Lunchtime Face Peel and upon opening the package She smirked at the [...]

Astara Golden Flame Hydration Mask

Monday, February 19th, 2007

The winter blahs continue, and we are still covered with ice here in Boston - you can’t even walk easily outside, it’s so bumpy it’s as if you’re walking on the moon. So, what better to do than stay inside and relax with a mask because The Beauty Bug is crazy for a good mask.
