Wow, nothing like writing about a skincare product that’s so popular that it’s often out of stock, like it is right now! But Paula’s Choice is usually good about quick restocking. In the meantime, let me tell you about Paula’s Choice Clinical Ceramide-Enriched Firming Moisturizer that I’ve been using for the past month. And more …
I had never heard of “Galentine’s Day” till a couple of years ago. I guess that’s because I don’t watch a lot of regular TV. Not surprisingly, I’ve never seen one episode of Parks and Reaction, even though I like Amy Poehler. But the idea of “ladies celebrating ladies” or friends celebrating friends on February …
Paula’s Choice has been so busy this past year or so. It seems that there is a constant stream of new skincare products coming out. In fact, I just received another anti-aging moisturizer and a spare for a giveaway a few days ago. But today I am writing about Paula’s Choice RESIST Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% …
As I await the arrival of the Bomb Cyclone winter storm that is predicted to arrive early this morning, I am thinking let’s start the first week of 2018 with a giveaway! If one of your goals for 2018 is to master highlighting and contouring or just to do it more often, then this is …
You may know Derma E for first rate, natural and affordable facial skincare. I recently wrote about their lovely Nourishing Rose Cleansing Oil and Microdermabrasion Scrub not long ago. Well, Derma E is more than facial skincare! They also make “therapeutic topicals”, skincare products to address a variety of skin conditions and to help create healthy skin. I …
Facial cleansing oils are all the rage. In fact, I’ve got quite a collection. Recently, Paula’s Choice joined the party with their version, and it was worth waiting for. On looks alone, Paula’s Choice Perfect Cleansing Oil makes you want to use it right away. It comes in a clear, heavy plastic pump bottle, and …
We’re in the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and last week I wrote about how the disease touched my family. Today, I’d like to introduce you to a new-to-me haircare brand that is good not only for cancer patients and survivors, but for anyone with sensitive scalp, dandruff, or hair that could use some …
October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Breast Cancer Awareness Month has personal significance for me and my family because my father died from breast cancer. He was one of the rare 2% of men who had breast cancer. It was especially difficult for him, a very masculine guy, to have what he considered to be …
Amalie Beauty makes one of my favorite beauty products, Wink Lash and Brow Oil. I wrote about it recently in my Favorites post, and I reviewed it (here) about a year ago. Outside of straight castor oil, it’s the only lash oil that I can use on my sensitive eyes, and I love the brush …
Oh, I hate washing my hair because it takes so darn long to dry and style. I shouldn’t complain, I know, because I fortunately have so much of it. But after washing my hair, drying it requires using a high temperature on my hair dryer and it takes at least 15 minutes for it to …
A few weeks ago, I went for a long overdue facial. In spite of the fact that it had been over a year since my last facial, the esthetician told me that my skin was in really good condition. Taking care of my skin at home really does pay off! After she deep cleaned my …
Today, I’ve been MIA because things have been pretty crazy around here for the past week. Eleven months ago, I paid $900 to get 8 hardwired smoke detectors or smoke/CO detector combo units replaced in my house. Last Thursday early morning, at 2:31 am, the fire alarms went off and starting blaring and calling Fire …
As much as I love makeup, skincare is the thing. Your skin is for the long term and taking care of it is the most important thing you can do. Plus your makeup will look better if your skin is in good shape! If you haven’t discovered Paula’s Choice yet, you should. I think you …
I’ve mentioned this about a million times: outside of makeup, my love is jewelry and accessories. A girl can never have enough IMHO. In that spirit, I’ve teamed up with some of the gals from Fashion Flash, and I’m kicking off a series of giveaways that we’re hosting over the next week or so. I’m giving away …
I teamed up with a group of beauty and food bloggers this week to give away a $25 gift card to Sephora! Woo hoo! Who couldn’t use a sweet $25 to shop at Sephora?? There are so many new items released for spring, it’s great to have chance to get a little help affording …
