Real Girl Beauty
Posted Friday, May 12, 2006 at 04:02AM
I adore Real Girl Beauty blog. When I first clicked to it, link hopping, I thought I was checking a Real Girl Beauty site along the lines of Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaigns. And though I admire that campaign for its marketing brilliance and celebration of uniqueness, I absolutely have no problem watching Mischa Barton pimp me Neutrogena face wash, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Real Girl Beauty isn’t so much about reconciling image issues as keeping credit card debt to a minimum.
Says Real Girl:
Who am I? I’m someone who must schedule my Sephora visits, lest I breeze inside and automatically be $100 poorer. I’m someone who uses 6 hair products from the time I step into the shower ‘til the time my hair is dry. I’m someone who will not go to sleep at night without slathering my face with antioxidants.
But more than her hyper pro-consumerism, I love Real Girl’s real recommendations: she blogs about products she uses, how she uses them, and why they work. Her blogged praises of Magiff manicure products don’t just include product images, but she shows you the before and after image of her own nails.
