Because nothing wants to make you brush your teeth like seeing giant tongues in your subway station, Reach has stepped up its marketing tactics with these enormous 3D plastic tongues. I always thought the selling point for Reach was that you could reach your back teeth - remember the guy with the hinged […]

I’m going to try to write this with a straight face, but it may not work. See, when I hear “magic wand” I think of a certain implement made by Hitachi. And when I hear “high-speed vibrating tip” I do not think of bags under my eyes. But that’s exactly what […]

This is not a gun. It is a hair dryer. Yes, that’s right, a hair dryer. For only $35, you can get the Western Dryer from…Japan, of course. This is not a good idea, in my opinion. If you live anywhere but Japan, it has to get through customs, […]

I often find myself without any kind of lip color, because I’m constantly switching from my purse to my backpack to just carrying stuff in my pockets. More than once, I have stopped at the drugstore on my way somewhere to buy cheap lipstick, just so I don’t go completely without makeup. […]

I guess this was made because women need an easier way to organize their makeup gear, am I right, Avon? The Miss Portable Gadget pocket “knife” has cute features, but doesn’t seem very useful. The knife, scissors, and mirror are probably not too bad, but I have never had much luck with […]

It turns out Sephora, the beauty store, has a whole line of products called Piiink. All of the products are made in France, and they say everything is inspired by international trends. Most of the packaging is pink, even if the items aren’t; the $6 My Magiiic Mascara is actually two tubes, […]
