For My Friend Leigh

I am not going to divulge her itsy bitsy problem, but my friend Leigh says she needs a new shampoo. She's called on the beautybabe for advice. I've made two suggestions: baby shampoo or Bumble and Bumble Hair Tonic. You can buy Bumble and Bumble online if you can't find it in the Queen City. But here's a third option -- wash hair infrequently. When you hair is coarse you don't need to wash it daily. I wash mine about three days a week. But I realize that not everyone has dry hair. Anyway, Leigh, you're beautiful with or without the special shampoo. Just keep smiling that pretty smile of yours.


Top Shelf Recommendation: C.O. Bigelow hand cream -- Quince. Amazing stuff. Available at Bath and Body Works. Try the purse size. Absorbs quickly and leaves a trace of a light scent. Does anyone know what a quince is?

Finding a Lip Gloss Even I Don't Like

Well folks ... even I found a lip gloss I can't stand. Can we say Yuck!

I've bought other products by Wet 'n Wild before and enjoyed them. So I tried a pink sparkle lip gloss (in a tube) because I liked the color. The gloss is nice but the texture was so gross and the product so foul I had to wipe it from my lips immediately. Here's my advice. If you buy a gross lip gloss and you've spent less than 5 bucks, dump it. If it's morethan 5 bucks and you still have the receipts, return it. Most stores, including drugstores and department stores will take back products -- yes used products with a receipt.

Top Shelf Recommendation: For a lip gloss that does taste good .. . try Wink's lip gloss. It comes with a gloss and a pencil. I have giggle. It may be the perfect pink lip gloss. And it tastes yummy - almost like cocoa, no need to wipe it from my lips. Enjoy it. Buy it at Nordstrom.
