Dear Amalah, I just returned home from a LOVELY tropical vacation (wait, scratch that, I should be courting your sympathy here)…uh, a very long and taxing journey. And while unpacking I discovered that two of my favorite eyeshadows shattered in my luggage. The compacts are…
Hi Amy, I have a sleep disorder, Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I’m being treated, but my meds haven’t gotten sorted out yet to where I don’t have to sleep during the day. This is my dilemma: I get up in the morning, wash with the Purity cleanser,…

Well. Whew! What a week last week was, with all the not-updating I did. However, a true advice columnist never rests and never stops bossing people around, and last week was no exception. I went to New York to meet up with AlphaMom’s own Isabel…
Hi Amy! I decided, somewhat randomly, at the beginning of July to start a program of Improving Myself, with a goal of adding one new thing to my routine every two weeks that is good for me in some way. First it was flossing (surprisingly…
I used a black liquid liner in college. I would do this heavy black line around my eyes and then a little up-and-out cat eye thing in the corner. I would do this over white eyeshadow. I would also cry myself to sleep at night…
While I have still not personally used the INSANELY POPULAR Bare Minerals line (I’ve had weird itchy reactions to bismuth in the past and am just a little askeered of what slathering it all over my face might do), when Tara volunteered an eye-makeup demo…
