Concealer Free Challenge

Posted December 31, 2008 by NiKita

Just curious, is there anyone else that would like to be concealer free in 2009?  If so, leave a comment or send an email (beautychemist@yahoo.com) and let me know.  If we have a support system perhaps we can kick the concealer habit together!  Who’s with me?

Exuviance Vespera Bionic Serum

Posted December 31, 2008 by NiKita

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2009 is to reduce my dependence on concealers for both my eyes and skin.  My biggest issue is hyperpigmentation (those unsightly dark marks); just when I think that I’ve lessened the problem and it’s safe to take pictures- BAM!- there they are mocking me once again causing me [...]

Firmness from the Sea thanks to Grassroots Research Labs

Posted December 30, 2008 by admin

Hawaiian Deep Seawater, Blue Algae, essential oils– these are the main ingredients that make up Blue Algae Enriched Firming Cream courtesty of grassroots.  The Blue Algae cream has the texture of a gel-cream and feels heavier than you would expect it to.  That is a plus for dry skin peeps and if you just washed your face [...]

Eve’s Blemish Busting Secret

Posted December 29, 2008 by NiKita

It’s nice to know that celebs have issues with their skin like the rest of us (misery loves company) and it’s even more comforting to know that they don’t all rely on high priced treatments to get their skin back in shape!  Hip hop diva and actress Eve shared her blemish busting secret with me [...]

Posted December 26, 2008 by NiKita

Hi B. spotters! I am starting a new category on my blog called “Beauty Blog Buddy Up” (3BU).   As you know there are sooooo many beauty blogs on the web and many of them do a great job of reviewing  products.  So my philosophy- Why reinvent the wheel?  3BU is all about linking to other beauty [...]

Happy Holidays from the B. spot

Wow, the year is almost over yet it feels like it just started**sigh**  Personally, this is the only time of the winter season that I enjoy (ok so I’m being a bit overdramatic but I absolutely hate the cold and snow, the older I get the less tolerant I become with the whole “winter wonderland” concept:-)); but [...]

Ode to Ojon…Restorative Hair Treatment

Posted December 22, 2008 by NiKita

I’ll call this entry “Ode to Ojon” because I have fallen head-over-heals for this pricey product! Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment is a pungent, nutty smelling butter that is not for the faint of heart as you will have to shell out at least $50.00 for the medium sized container, but all I can say is, oooh [...]

Posted December 21, 2008 by admin

Aquaporin? Aquacurrent? Water channels???  Do these words mean anything to anyone other than Nobel Laureates in Chemistry and scientists at Proctor & Gamble?  You may have seen an ad or heard about “Aquacurrent Science” in P&G brands Olay, Pantene, Covergirl and even Secret!  But what is it and what’s the big deal?  
Most moisturizers work in the following ways:

Bodyglide has launched a new addition to their family of antichafing products, Footglide Skin Protectant Stick. This caught my attention because I am a sucker for a cute shoe and trust me when I say- my feet pay the price for this obsession.
