A couple of years ago, an esthetician who did my facial told me that my skin was well-hydrated. I was thrilled to hear that. Since then I’ve been doing what I can to keep my skin hydrated. I need to get one of those electronic meters to figure out how I’m doing. Because I don’t …

Keep Lip Lines Away with Jan Marini Hyla3D HA Lip Complex

Hydrating my lips is a year round thing for me. My dry lips feel much better during the summer than during the winter, not surprisingly, but I work at keeping them moisturized everyday.

Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub
I love masks and scrubs. I think they make a big difference in the look and feel of my skin. Removing dead skin cells at the end of the summer is a necessity for me. Skincare products work so much better if they are applied to smooth skin. Lately, I’ve been using Derma E Microdermabrasion …

Wet N Wild Color Icon Rainbow Highlighter Unicorn Glow
A couple of weeks ago, I showed you how I repaired my Wet N Wild Color Icon Rainbow Highlighter, Unicorn Glow, that arrived in the mail smashed to smithereens.

Revlon Kiss Balm, Sweet Cherry: Lip Balm with Sunscreen
I had a bunch of CVS ExtraBucks that I needed to use, so I made the trip to CVS. I ended up accumulating about $32 worth of stuff, and in the end, it cost me $7 and change. Not bad. Not bad at all. That purchase included two tubes of Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and 10 …
