Hey B. spotters!
I’m late for a meeting because I needed to get this off of my chest. I am a shower singer. There, I said, and now I will no longer hide behind my shower curtain. The time has come for all of us shower singers to show our stuff American Idol style. Well, not [...]
It’s not a big surprise that the most popular aspect of CEW’s Product Demonstration is the gracious goodie bag (albeit the bags of yesteryear were a bit more gracious). It’s safe to say that I have enough products to review for the next two months! We are big into bath and body products in my [...]
Hi B. spotters! If you don’t already know, today is the Product Demonstration for Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) where members gather together in NYC at the Metropolitan Pavilion to see what both major and minor brands feel are worthy enough for the coveted CEW Beauty Awards Winner (or even finalist).

While I love using new bioactive ingredients in skin care products that I develop and use on a daily basis- there is something to be said for simplicity! I know that the choices can be overwhelming and ingredients/claims indistinguishable if you aren’t a chemist who works with these materials day in and day out. ***Sidebar-please continue [...]
Now don’t go rolling your eyes or sucking your teeth! As a chemist, my skepticism alarm was blaring but when you examine the chemistry and rationale behind the ingredient choices, view the before and after pics and have a conversation with the owners of the company- you will probably be willing to give Trilastin SR a try- I [...]
On February 5th, Allure Daily Beauty Reporter opened my eyes to what women will really go through to get perfect breast! I didn’t know that Triple-K size breasts existed and certainly wouldn’t expect anyone to go against medical opinion for the sake of having triple K’s! Trust me, i am not opposed to cosmetic surgery [...]
