You may know that I was devoted to StriVectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream. I have used up about four jars of the original rich and thick cream, one jar of the lighter gel version, and I’m almost done with the StriVectin Neck Serum that’s also a light gel applied with a cooling rollerball. I …
Giveaway #2 for Combo & Oily Skin: Derma E Purifying Detox Scrub and Mask!

My Ridiculously Specialized Eye Skincare Products Routine
This morning after washing my face, I noticed that I used 5 different serum, creams and gels on different spots around my eyes. Ridiculous, right? But it comes with the beauty blogging territory, I guess. In no way am I suggesting you do this. But I thought I’d let you know some quick thoughts …
L’Oreal Age Perfect Fragrance-Free Rosy Tone Moisturizer and 2 New Skincare Products
A year ago, I wrote about the new L’Oreal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Moisturizer that I received for review from L’Oreal (review here).

Out with the Old: Beauty Empties December 2018
You know I’m all about my empties. I am always so happy to use stuff up and make room for the new things. I am trying to get better at tossing/recycling old makeup and skincare that I know I am not going to ever finish. I have a hard time tossing unfinished things, but I …
My Pre-Holiday 2018 Beauty Haul
I mostly shop for cosmetics during sales. There are enough sales these days that it’s not hard to wait. Ulta had two 20% off sale opportunities, and Sephora had a 20% off coupon for VIB. Sephora also had a $20 off $75 close to Christmas that I passed on since I had bought enough during …
Lots of Full Size Empties: November 2018
My blogging friend Renu was part of a group that aimed to use up 100 full size products during 2018. She achieved her goal and then some! Though I was not a member of the challenge group, I am pretty darn sure that I have achieved that milestone as well. Yippee! In November, I …
Derma E Essentials Collection! Radiance Toner and Rejuvenating Sage & Lavender Face Oil
Derma E is one of my favorite cruelty-free, natural and affordable skincare brands. But when I think of the brand, I tend to associate it with a lot of products for young, acne-prone or oily skin, even though I know they make a broad range of skincare products for all skin types. Well, for my …

Natural Skin and Body Care Products from Character Skin Care
When the heat goes on in my house, my skin immediately goes into a tailspin. I’m spending more time inside exposed to drying heat, even with a humidifier. Sadly if I don’t act, my skin gets drier and unhappy. It’s absolutely necessary for me to change up my facial and body care routine adding oils …
Robin McGraw Revelation Instant Face Shaper & POPSUGAR Lip Tint Redux; Mask Giveaway Winner
Robin McGraw Revelation OMG Is It Really Me? Instant Face Shaper A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed three facial skincare products from Robin McGraw Revelation (here).
