I was pleased to attend the launch party for the debut of Total Beauty’s website at a slick and selective store called Space NK Apothecary SoHo.  Once I read the invite and saw “Champagne and Shopping” I was there!  I don’t really like wine but I do love Champagne wether it’s from the region or [...]

 I woke up and didn’t find myself in the fairytale.  For months Sephora’s been sending “beauty-full” holiday catalogs that promise to enchant.  I was all geared up with lists and sticky notes on what I want, all I had to do was wait for those awesome freebie packs they put out for the holidays.  Remember [...]
