Many years ago when I was in college in New York, I somehow got a certificate for a free facial at a salon in midtown. The esthetician (or “saleswoman” might be more appropriate) scared the living daylights out of me. In an effort to sign me up for a series of facial skincare treatments, she …
Hey ladies, Hope you’re enjoying the start of a great Memorial Weekend! And thinking of those who sacrificed who are at the heart of this holiday. If you get a little down time from BBQing, gardening, parades, and just plain fun, take a look at this week’s beauty blogposts from Beauty Blogazons. Never Say Die …
For years, I stuck to one moisturizer from Olay. I was very loyal. Till I became a beauty blogger, I had no idea the variety of moisturizing and skincare treatment products that were out there including skincare products that were “better-for-you” with more natural ingredients. I recently had the opportunity to try a couple of …
A couple of months ago, I had an opportunity from NeoCell to try two of their products: NeoCell Fish Collagen +HA (hyaluronic acid) and NeoCell Beauty Bursts. I’ve been using topical hyaluronic acid for over a year now, and it has made a difference in my skin’s hydration level. But I had never tried taking it systemically, …

I’m sure most of you in the U.S. and perhaps in Canada and other parts of the world, may have heard that we’re having a heck of a winter. In fact, we’re expecting another storm tomorrow. It’s March for heaven’s sake. Give it up, ole’ man winter! Move along! Midnight Velvet to the rescue! Yesterday, …
The holidays are here, and what better time for a makeup giveaway from Milani! I am so excited about this giveaway because I love, love, love these lip-shaped makeup cases filled with gorgeous …
The season has changed to autumn, and here in New England, I’ve turned the heat on in my house. That means drier air inside the house. And winter, that’s just around the corner, usually means drier air outside, too. My skin always feels so much drier in the winter. Besides switching to a heavier moisturizer, …
