From StriVectin: Two New Favorite Skincare Products for My Neck
I’ve been singing the praises of StriVectin’s TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream (reviewed here) for over a year now. In fact, it was one of my favorite skincare products of 2016.

I’m a fragrance fanatic, and I’m always on the lookout for the next scent that I can add to my stash.

Buyer Beware! Revived Youth Skincare Purchasing Scam
I’m so embarrassed. I should know better. But even beauty bloggers can be taken in by the siren song of a deal and the words, “Shark Tank”! On New Year’s Day, I was coming down with a bad cold and bronchitis and instead of going to my friend’s New Year’s Day open house, I was …
Belif: Korean Skincare Kits for Dry Skin
My skin has definitely gotten drier over the past 2 months. The cold, dry weather, and the heat from the furnace, the dryness from the fireplace. Dry. Dry. Dry.

StriVectin All Smooth for Frizz-Prone Hair: Anti-Frizz Haircare
Several months ago, I told you about StriVectin’s new haircare line for Color-Treated Hair. I got hooked. StriVectin became my go-to shampoo and conditioner.
