Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

The Beauty Bug has been MIA for a few days now - but She has a great excuse, She was getting a makeover. A much needed one if you ask Her. She was almost at the point where an intervention was needed. Almost at the point where She needed Her blogging friends to ambush Her [...]

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

A statement of pure genius was made last night during American Idol, and The Beauty Bug had to share it.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s a beautiful day here on the east coast - and even The Beauty Bug Boyfriend is getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit. In a role reversal of sorts, He wore red to work today, and The Beauty Bug wore black.
The Beauty Bug hopes that everyone is wined, dined, and pampered today!

Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

The Beauty Bug is so used to seeing unflattering pictures of Kristen Dunst - Perez refers to her as KiKi, and Mr. Superficial refers to her as Snaggletooth - that She was shocked to see these new Miu Miu ads.

Beauty Rut

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Just like The Beauty Addict, The Beauty Bug has been in sort of a rut lately. Her life too has gone into overdrive, (between work, two brief trips to NY, the holidays, and shopping) and you can see it on Her face. She’s been slacking on her night time skin care routine, not getting [...]

Send in the Clowns…

Monday, November 26th, 2007
