About

Over the last eight years I’ve been a skincare consultant for beauty emporiums like Sephora and C.O. Bigelow.   I’ve helped Manhattanites spend over a thousand dollars on their faithful Perricone regimens.  I’ve watched tweens in Boca incorrectly rim their eyes with Urban Decay’s Smoked Out eye pencil (a la Britney Spears).  I’ve spoken with international clients in Boston who are looking to explore a brand they haven’t seen before.  The one common thread I’ve noticed about people is that they are ill-informed.

They know buzz words, they use great product, they influence friends, but I fear the fragmented bits and pieces of the beauty biz fall on deaf ears when it comes to understanding ingredients and how to properly use products.

I thought I’d use my professional training in skincare with my formal education in writing to inject the decoded truth into the media.  This blog aims to put into focus those rumors, cliches, and speculations about face and body care.  I want people to be properly informed, ask questions, and invest more than their bank account on their beauty products.

Enjoy, and have fun.
