A few weeks ago, I reviewed Hydroxatone BB Cream, a product that I really liked. So I was happy to have a chance to try another Hydroxatone product, Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex, provided from iFabbo, the beauty and fashion blogger organization. On the front of the box, it says that Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex SPF …

Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick PPK003
I put it off for months, hoping I’d forget about Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick, part of the Princess Etoinette Holiday 2012 Collection from Etude House. I had come across a photo of the lipstick on Pinterest back in January, and it has been on my mind since then. How pathetic! I am such a sucker …

Perlier Shower Cream and Body Balm Travel Set
I’ve been traveling a lot lately, and it’s made me pretty stressed out. (So what else is new, you say!). Nothing makes me feel better than a long, hot shower. (I know, it dries out my skin.) So I was thrilled to have a chance to try out four Perlier bath sets — shower cream …

Gluten-Free Makeup
My friend, Laura, has been gluten-free for a few years now, and she feels better since she gave up eating foods with gluten: wheat, oat, barley, and rye. A while back, she told me that she started having the old symptoms that she used to feel when she ate gluten but couldn’t figure out why. …
Finally, A Great Facial
Back in in the day, my college roommate introduced me to Georgette Klinger, a day spa before before the term “day spa” came into being. Georgette Klinger, an immigrant from what is now The Czech Republic, started her career by creating some simple facial skincare products in her kitchen. She opened her first “salon” in …
OWN Firming Silk Concentrate
Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try OWN Firming Silk Concentrate, an anti-aging product, from OWN Skin Health.

OWN Refining Moisture Night Cream
For years, I was true to my favorite moisturizer/night cream. It did a great job, was readily available, and affordable. I still really like it, but since becoming a blogger I have discovered other wonderful moisturizers. OWN Refining Moisture Night Cream is one that I’ve been cheating on Olay Regenerist with lately. I “bought” OWN …

I tried the tester, and I was happy …
