I don’t get it. Mariah Carey’s new perfume, Luscious Pink, is supposed to “evoke a day in Capri.” What? My perfume is supposed to evoke a place I’ve never been to? Olfactory memories are great, and if you’ve been to Capri perhaps this will remind you of it, but how can the scent evoke something [...]

I discovered how to make everything pink. It’s called Splat hair dye and the Luscious Raspberry color will dye everything pink, including your skin. And your bathtub. And your clothes. Everything. I was rinsing my hair in the shower, and I turned around and everything I saw was pink! The bathtub, the walls, the faucet [...]

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 head? But [...]

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 the Magic Wand Facial [...]

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 rarely wear [...]

I’m honestly not sure if the Barbie Pink perfume by Antonio Puig is meant for adults or little girls. The topnotes include cassis, rose, musk, violet, grape, and nutmeg – a strange combination to be sure. The reviews at Perfume.com indicate that it’s a little girl scent that can also be worn by adult women. [...]

This is truly delightful: a Hello Kitty product for people with vision problems that can also be used by people without vision problems! (Can you tell I’ve always liked the little HK contact lens cases but have never needed them?) Anyway, you can store your regular eyeglasses in here, or you can use it for [...]

This little gadget is a light-up mirror powered by your USB port. It seems that USB power is replacing mains power for a lot of products these days. I actually think this one could be rather practical for a girl geek like me – not that I’d be putting on makeup with it, since I [...]
