Pure Ice “Watch Me Go” Recently Influenster, a website that sends out themed goody boxes from manufacturers who wish to promote their brands among social media influencers, posted …
Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Shampoo
Don’t you just hate it when one of your favorite products gets dropped? Well, I do. And it seems to happen all the time. Boo!

Milani Limited Edition Matte Baked Bronzers
Even though I almost put the heat back on a couple of days ago, summer is on its way. I love the look of a tan, but I’ve got so much sun damage from years of too much sun exposure, that I pile on the SPF, wear a hat and sit under an umbrella at the beach. …

Giveaway: Reviva Labs Peptides & More Anti-Wrinkle Cream
For years, I stuck to one moisturizer from Olay. I was very loyal.

I recently had the opportunity to try a couple of …

Gabriel Lipstick: Natural, Mineral-Based, Gluten-Free
Oops, wrong post published this morning. Here’s the right one! Though I haven’t given up my regular makeup brands, I have been trying to try more organic makeup and skincare products. Products that I apply all over my body and on my lips are the ones that I start to worry about most. A friend …
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, Luminous Light
I’m a little late to the party on this one, but better late than never. And Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder has just been released in a trio palette of shades that will be a permanent part of the product lineup. But I bought mine two days before the trio palette was launched. Isn’t that always …
