Last week I brought you my
top 5 beauty essentials. Today, I'd like to share my top five cosmetic advertising pet peeves. This idea came to me while I was driving behind a super duper slow driver on Santa Monica Blvd. Seriously, the guy was going about 15 miles an hour in a 35 zone. In the left lane. I wanted to blast my horn at him, but I decided to be a good citizen and avoid any conflict. Fact is, I already road raged on a girl last week for blaring her horn at ME when I was trying to cross traffic at a blind intersection.
But, nevertheless, this brought me to pet peeves. People who can't drive are on the top of my list. A close second is people who don't clean up after their dog's poop. And right behind it, buying products that have lofty claims but fail to deliver.
Annoying isn't it? All the hard-earned money that I've spent on useless products thanks to the art of advertising.
You won't have to make the same mistake as I, since I'm willing to share my secrets for avoiding being duped by false advertisements.

ideas without really hurting my wallet.
So, without further ado, here are a couple of ways to brainstorm
gift ideas this holiday season:
