OK, I admit it. I have shirked my responsibility to my brows. They are neglected. I tweeze them, but that’s about it most of the time. I bought a brow gel a while back and put it somewhere and can’t find it. Because my hair is color-treated, I get my brows dyed at the same …
When I bought my last bottle of my favorite fragrance, Frederic Malle’s Musc Ravageur, at Barney’s, the wonderful sales associate sent me home with a nice stash of samples from Frederic Malle and Serge Lutens to try.

So many body lotions and lip balms have been coming my way lately. Word must have gotten out about my dry skin, lol. Today, I have products from the Savannah Bee Company from Savannah, Georgia to talk to you about. As you may remember, I’m a big supporter of honeybees. In fact, I am delighted …

I usually prefer physical block sunscreen. Recently, I was sent a new kind of sunscreen for me: Brush On Block Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. It comes in an attractive black …
Last month, I reviewed Nourish Organic Body Lotion that I found in my stash. And I complained that it wasn’t hydrating enough for my very dry skin. The folks at Nourish Organic read my review, and they were kind enough to send me two products designed for very dry skin like mine for me to try …

When it comes to body products, coconut is one of my two favorite scents. So I jumped at the chance to try out the coconut body butter from nspa by Nirvana Spa, the number one day spa in the UK. Since Nirvana Spa is known as a “pure water spa” with a Dead Sea mineral pool and all kinds …
Just before the holidays, I received a perfume sample from a new fragrance house based in the UK, Signature Fragrances London. At the time, the scent was a teaser, as they hadn’t even launched yet.
