Paula’s Choice has been so busy this past year or so. It seems that there is a constant stream of new skincare products coming out.

Paula’s Choice RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50
I know I’m doing this backwards, but sometimes that’s how it is. I included Paula’s Choice RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50 in my Best of Skincare 2017 post before I had a chance to review it! In mid December, Paula’s Choice sent me two bottles of a fabulous serum, one of which will be in …

Amalie Beauty Persimmon Anti-aging Night Creme
Amalie Beauty has become one of my favorite natural and organic skincare brands because their products are so well-made and my dry skin loves them.

Zoya Mona Nail Polish: Another Vampy Burgundy Shade
During the holidays, Zoya had a number of really good sales. I took advantage of one that was 50% off and free shipping, there must have been a minimum. I bought three polishes and a topcoat. I already wrote about Zoya Cathy, a neutral pink-peach cream (reviewed/swatched here). And I seem to have misplaced my …

Makeup: My Favorites in 2017
Makeup favorites may be even more personal than choices in skincare. But what the heck, I want to share my makeup favorites that I discovered in 2017. As with my skincare post, it is possible that not all of the products were new in 2017, though a number of them were, but they were …
High Percent Vitamin C Serum from The Ordinary
I had been eager to try some skincare products from The Ordinary since the raves about the brand last year. But because I have so many skincare products, I never placed an order. When I was chatting on the phone with Jeff’s younger daughter before the holidays, she told me how much she loved …

I still haven’t completely gotten used to typing or writing 2018. Have you?

But no matter. There’s a lot of …
