Because…Blow Out!
Amy, I just recently had a spa day with friends to celebrate a milestone in the world of hair. Yes, you got it, I had a foot of hair cut off and am donating it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which gives wigs to women who…

Hola Amalah! I’m a fairly new reader of your blogs, but that hasn’t stopped me from giving you my full attention and devotion. As such, I need some advice on the long standing “white after Labor Day” rule… and fast! My bridal shower is coming…
Which comes first, the moisturizer or the primer or the chicken or the egg?
Are they like collagen in a tube…or a colossal waste of money?
My dearest Amalah, who I may have to name my firstborn child after regardless if it’s a boy or a girl, for the gratitude I feel for you now: Before reading the smackdown I was one of those wash my face with soap and water…
Just like spray on pantyhose, but no rips!
Dear Amalah, My question relates to the skinny jeans I bought and then regretted because they make my bum look rather… well, enormous. I’m a UK size 10 so I’m not supermodel-skinny, but I’m not huge. I’m also quite short (5 foot 3 inches in…
Hey Amy, Ever since I discovered mineral-based foundation I have had an optimism/skepticism dichotomy going on in my head that is driving me nuts. So I thought I would ask. Do you have any experience? I would totally just try it, but it’s like $80….
Postpartum or premenstrual or all of the above: what to do when your hormones show up on your face.
Hi Amy! I don’t have a very serious or personal question, but I was wondering about the new cellulite cream from Nivea. Does it work? Are the pills better? I have some mild thigh cellulite and it’s not worth the expensive brands, but I like…
(A quick pre-actual-content aside: Why didn’t anyone TELL ME this dress was for sale? And for only $807,000! We could’ve gone halfsies!) So it’s taken a little longer than I expected, but I think I’m finally getting the hang of this whole “rise above the…
Winter Momentum Pants available here at REI online. $90.
Out, damned knot! Out, I say!
I’d start off by calling you “Oh wise and wonderful, all-knowing Amalah” because that’s what I usually see on your website, but that’s really not my style, so I’ll try this. HELP ME!! I ordered shoes to go with a dress for my cocktail party…
Dearest Amalah, So the 13 months of sleep deprivation (that came with the baby) and spotty effort at face care (who has the time to shower, much less wash your face twice a day) has finally started taking its toll on my face. I broke…
Hi Amy, Happy New Year! To kick it off right, I’m shopping for a new moderately-priced salon shampoo. I’m currently using BedHead’s Oatmeal and Honey shampoo and conditioner, but I don’t really love it. I’ve also used Back to Basics and a variety of other…
Review of Olay Regenerist 14-Day Skin Intervention Okay, so I have to admit that I am a sucker for challenges. Especially those of the two-week variety. Activia yogurt! Crest Whitestrips! Change your life in 14 days! It is perhaps more a sign of laziness than…
If you’re considering trying at home waxing, skin reactions are common. Here is some advice on how to help should that happen.
Happy Friday! And welcome to a new occasional-totally-not-on-a-regular-schedule feature here at the Advice Smackdown: the Price Tag Cage Match. This is where I’ll use two products — one expensive and one from the drugstore — that promise the same results, and see if the expensive…
With all the coloring we do as children you would think we would be better at eye makeup application. Alas, Amalah to the rescue.
