Cris "Mistress of Mischief" B.'s Profile

Beauty is Hard to Manage

I created this list because 1). I have specialized taste, 2) I have champagne taste on a beer budget and these places allow me to find those specialized products at bargain prices, 3) because everyone should know where to purchase DERMALOGICA products at discounted prices and 4) I'll think of something and update soon

2/18/2011 First to Review

Although I've written a review for What Great Skin's Parent company, The Healing Day Spa; truth is, I've never stepped one foot through their door.

I never thought I'd be here ~ never thought I'd be brave enough to FACE the truth, but unfortunately I've reached an age where I can no longer hide from it. Not to mention, my primary care Doctor is keen on reminding me of my age and is mailing me…More »

When All Season Nails opened up in the neighborhood I thought, "yeah, just what the neighborhood needs another nail salon, nice."

You see, my neighborhood appears to have a nail salon on almost every corner, some times two even. And although this…More »

Darn, the words out! I did a search to see if this fantastic company had been written about... Shoooo nuff, 4 reviews. (Okay, so admittedly, I wanted to be the FIRST to write about this company, however it appears I missed my moment.)

So about my…More »

I like this store because they sale stuff I can't find anywhere else.

For example: I looked high and low for a particular kind of hair spray... The ONLY hairspray that works on my hair.

And sure, I've tried the others, even the expensive ones, and…More »

I have only had a few procedures done here, but I like the services they provide. And yes, I too get my lashes curled (permed).

Next its tattoos ~ yes, I'm surprised with this too as I'm not big on body art... But the tattoo is semi-permanent, and…More »

I like Sephora for its vast amount of products... it's a one stop beauty shop. But I'm on a budget and my checking account will only allow me to indulge in one or two items per each visit.

I love going in and getting lost... A girl can dream.…More »

I like this store because of the neat looking French products. I like this store because, as far as I know, they are the first company to put braille on their packages for the blind folks (now that's a marketing twist).

I love the honey smelling…More »

Update - 8/6/2010

Pure Beauty has changed ownership and hired a more diverse staff. And although the staff still display attitude, I found them to be very helpful and suggestive. I feel more comfortable shopping here again, and purchasing the cheaper items (because…More »

Recently updated lists from Cris B.

Local Doggie Hangouts (14)

Where me & the Dog come alive after 5

Living in the hood of convenience (10)

includes reviews for local watering holes, wine bars, neighborhood grocery stores, doggie stores, etc. The list is short, but forever growing.

My Five Firsts . . . (5)

Here are my "first'" to review... Hopefully it will help those interested in seeking a new job/career; those seeking some information regarding certain laws, or civil rights, etc.; those interested in getting a 45% discount on Derma Logica products (okay, so I wasn't 1st to review, but close); or those who may be seeking a fantastic Chiropractor. I've added my cautionary tells in hopes to help those who are looking for house cleaning service; and/or those who take Yellow Cabs at night when leaving bars... beware of the shady cleaning services and devious cab drivers.

Enjoy. ;^)
