To break up the L’Oreal lovefest, I will now focus on the one beauty product that has absolutely altered my life. The Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Skin Cleaning System. I know. It’s really expensive. At ~$149 (the original Mia can be found for ~$119), this is not something you lightly purchase. But here is why … Continue reading

L’Oreal Love – Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow
I have recently really fallen in love with lots of L’Oreal products- mostly eyeliner, eye shadow, and face prep (BB cream and primer). In case you’re worried I might be biased, I think their nail polish is crummy and their mascara always irritates me and flakes. With that said, L’Oreal has undoubtedly produced one of … Continue reading

Garlic and Italian Parsley Shrimp
In the past I’ve been really disappointed at all my attempts to cook shrimp. After visiting Boston’s Mercato del Mare/ North End Fish Market (http://www.northendfish.com/) and picking up half a pound of fresh raw shrimp for about $6, I quickly realized the trick is just having fresh ingredients. Below are the ingredients I throw into a … Continue reading
Wild Blueberry and Lemon Rind Whole Wheat Pancakes
In addition to exploring new cosmetic products, I’ve recently embarked on cooking endeavors. Not that I haven’t cooked before, I’m just now making a concerted effort to catalog what I do and how much I add as I have always been a fly- by- the- seat- of- my- pants kinda person in the kitchen. Today … Continue reading
Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

I’m Not the Only Person in Love!

A quick perusal had me pleased with their primer selection: L’Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base! I touted my love for it in this review … Continue reading

A Burnt and Bummed Belle
I hate to admit it: I think my pits don’t like the DeoDry Dry-Effect Deodorant from The Body Shop that I once loved so much. After 2 weeks of perfect usage, it was starting to sting after application. I then noticed I had a distinct deod-striped burn goin on. Now, it seems that once every … Continue reading
Coffee: A Belle’s Best Friend
by The Boston Belle So I was just tweeting about my favorite Boston coffee source, Polcari’s, and couldn’t help but also tweet about the absolutely best travel mug ever: Contigo’s AUTOSEAL. I know, I know, this is not mascara or primer, but if you’re like me, girlfriend needs a little oomph in the morning to get that process … Continue reading
