Hey B.spot,
Want a play by play of the winners of the 2009 CEW Beauty Awards?  Follow me, why don’t you follow me-eee to a place…(sorry, I’m in North Jersey and just had a classic club flashback- those of you in the area know what I’m talking about) but I digress.  I will be on location [...]

Chicken Poop for Your Lips- WTF???

Posted April 29, 2009 by NiKita

Hey B. spot!
Now I don’t like to knock somebody else’s hustle, however when they want us to put something called Free Range Chicken Poop on our lips- I’m afraid I must knock a little!  Now the story behind the product started out cute and funny…here is the story behind the name.
Chicken Poop comes from Jamie’s [...]

Probiotic Skincare System

Good morning B spot!
What do you think of when you hear lactobacillus acidophilus?   No, it’s not an STD although “Betty” is one of its primary residences.  It’s a naturally occurring beneficial bacteria found in the small intestine and other places.  What about saccharomyces boulardii?  It’s a yeast- a good yeast- first discovered in mangosteen and [...]

Celeb Power to Save Water with a Body Lotion and Cool Label

Posted April 27, 2009 by NiKita

Morning B. spot,
What do the Parsons New School of Design,  Adrian Grenier, Erykah Badu, and Kelly Slater have in common?  I can’t think of a single instance in which I would use their names in the same sentence!  Kiehl’s however, thought the quartet would be perfect companions to collaborate with and create a Limited Edition Label Art series [...]

Friday Randomness

Afternoon B. spot!
It finally feels like a spring day here in sunny New Jersey; I can’t wait to get outside and enjoy it!  I will be spending some time indoors trying to find great deals for my Mother’s Day gifts.  All of the “Mothers” in my life (Mommy, Ma Bev- the mother-in-law, and my sisters [...]

Olay In-Shower Body Lotion

Posted April 23, 2009 by NiKita

I, like many of you, have a very busy and hectic life.  I am not ashamed to say that I will cut a corner (or two) if need be to fit everything in; not just any corner though, I’m talking about things like skipping my toner in the morning.  So when Kathryn came into the [...]

The Nose More Powerful than the Eye- Ageless Anti-Age Perfume

Posted April 22, 2009 by NiKita

Let me ask you a question.  If you look 50 years old and you put on this perfume then went sashaying into a room full of men- what would happen?  Would they smell the perfume first and think, “oh here comes a young thang- time to get my mack on,” and look past you waiting for the young [...]

So You Want to be A Cosmetic Chemist

Posted April 20, 2009 by NiKita

Good morning B. spot,
A common question that I am always asked is “how can I become a cosmetic chemist”?  Cosmetic Chemistry is a discipline that has many subdivisions.  Not many people know that a Cosmetic Chemistry is more than just creating color cosmetics!  Here is just a listing of things that I have created at [...]

Market America Appeal

Hi B. spot!
Did you ever have one of those days where you feel so inspired that it’s overwhelming?  I have been feeling this way for past week and if I don’t act on it, then the feeling and opportunity to do something great will pass.   Remember earlier in the week I wrote a post about [...]

Collective Wellbeing

Posted April 17, 2009 by NiKita

I am always excited to try new blemish control products because unfortunately that is my issue.  So when Collective Wellbeing asked me to review their line- I jumped on it.  This brand is definitely geared toward the “save our mother earth” crowd (we should all be members).  They donate a portion of their profits to [...]
