Dear Wise & Wonderful Amy, It has been almost two years since I wrote you! This is Jennifer from your March 9, 2005 post about “outdated hair”. Guess what! I took your advice and did away with my 80’s mall hairstyle. It was quite scary…
Dearest wisest oh wonderfullest Amalah, I’ve stood by and clapped wildly as you’ve advised many a stumped and confused soul on their quest to the best possible makeup application/skin care solutions. Heck, I’ve even submitted my own fashion question in the past (thanks again for…
Hi Amy! I just been asked to interview for an internship I’ve been dreaming about, so naturally that means that I have officially started the process of totally freaking out in a major way. I have to sort out writing samples and references and figure…

Dear Amalah, I’ve never submitted a question to anyone ever but I think you will be able to help me since you are a fellow fair-skinned blonde so here goes! (That whole washing your hair at night and waking up with an oily mop on…
Amy, Ok. First off you are so right about the Philosophy line with Hope in a Bottle and the face wash stuff. It actually has got down on the flakiness I have been seeing this winter. Actually I had a co-worker comment on how pretty…
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…
Review of Boots No7 Make-up Base So I was wandering the cosmetics aisles in Target the other day and came across what looked like one of my 2008 wishes come true — a drugstore-brand foundation primer. Specifically, Boots No7 Mattifying Make-Up Base, priced at a…
Dear Wise and Wonderful Amalah, I’ve written to you before about hair and skin and the like, but this time I have a question that may actually mean something. I’ve been following your blog for a while, and I remember when you had problems with…
Hi. I go through a small tub of moisturizer (nivea Q10) every 2 weeks and I’m beginning to think something is wrong. When I was at the Clinique beauty counter at a store recently, the saleslady tested the moisturizer by applying a teeny tiny amount…
