A year ago, I wrote about the new L’Oreal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Moisturizer that I received for review from L’Oreal (review here). The ad campaign featuring Helen Mirren and the peachy-pink shade of the cream had caught my eye long before I received the product. A few weeks ago, Influenster sent me a new …
Right now, I have 8 different shower gels and scents in my shower. The vast majority are from Molton Brown. I got started on my road to ruin, lol, a couple of years ago, when I got a travel size bottle of deep purple Molton Brown Relaxing Ylang Ylang Shower Gel in my first Barney’s …
I always look forward to Zoya’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. They’re the best. This year on Black Friday, I bought four of the quads, 2 to give as gifts and 2 for me. At $9 for four polishes, they were a complete steal! Even at the regular $30 price, they’re a good deal. The two …
About a month or so ago, I wrote about one of my favorite natural facial moisturizers of the year, Cremeplexion Face Cream from Humboldt Soap Company.

Derma E is one of my favorite cruelty-free, natural and affordable skincare brands. But when I think of the brand, I tend to associate it with a lot of products for young, acne-prone or oily skin, even though I know they make a broad range of skincare products for all skin types. Well, for my …

Now that the weather is officially cold, I am wearing more layers and more tights and socks. I had lots of opportunities to wear the rest of the hosiery that I received in October from Berkshire (reviewed here). But also, the black anklets and the black and white polka dot anklets that I reviewed last …
Girly accessories are my absolute faves. I enjoy using them and just looking at them! And accessories from The Vintage Cosmetic Company are my go-to when I am buying personal care and bath and body accessories for myself and for women whom I know love the vintage feel.

I was so excited to receive my first Advent Calendar of any kind ever! The 24 Days of Enchanted Beauty Calendar from The Body Shop arrived at my door a couple of weeks ago. I wondered if people who buy their own Advent Calendars or receive them as gifts open them all at once or …

When the heat goes on in my house, my skin immediately goes into a tailspin. I’m spending more time inside exposed to drying heat, even with a humidifier. Sadly if I don’t act, my skin gets drier and unhappy. It’s absolutely necessary for me to change up my facial and body care routine adding oils …
I wear lipstick just about all the time. Every day. Almost all day long. Over the years, that’s a lot of lipstick that I’ve probably ingested.
