With Memorial Day weekend coming up, we all know that summer is just around the corner so its time for you to finally learn how to BUY and APPLY sunscreen the right away. Here’s are 5 rules on making SUNSCREEN SIMPLE: DON’T BUY ANYTHING OVER SPF50: With the FDA still deciding on sunscreen regulations (hello, its been a year already), they’ve at least admitted that there isn’t enough conclusive evidence that anything over... 

WHY WON’T YOU GO AWAY? AAARGH! If you’re a 30-something like me and are STILL plagued with acne and desperately trying all the zit creams like a 14-year old girl, then its time to finally admit what works and what doesn’t work for your skin and just stick to it.

A Hilary Swank photograph for Vanity Fair taken by Norman Jean Roy - just one of many images included in the "Beauty Culture" exhibit With recent news on cosmetic surgeries going global and the (now fake) botoxing-her-own-8-year-old-child mom, it really makes me wonder what this world has come to in terms of what we define as the ideal beauty.

Unlike other makeup removers that tend to be too oily or harsh for the skin, the MLC CCG is gel-based and once you apply it to your face, the heat... 

As a renowned Japanese skincare brand (Marie Louise Cosmetics), we understand the fascination with Asian skincare – specifically Japanese beauty/skincare products. Well if you live in L.A, then you probably are familiar with Marukai 98. Marukai 98 is basically the Japanese version of the 99 cent store but instead of low-quality, almost expired items commonly associated with the 99 cent store, Marukai 98 offers the CRAZIEST, CUTEST, WHY-DIDN’T-I-THINK-OF-THAT... 

A day after the royal wedding, sales for self-tanning products increased over 200% as British women stampeded to get the same tanned look as Pippa Middleton. While we’ve always thought of British beauty as being the typical “English rose” in terms of their pale, translucent skin, looking back on England’s history of the ideal beauty is surprising: The Ideal British Beauty: Elizabeth I with her overly plucked eyebrows, white...
