One of the benefits of being a beauty blogger is getting to try out a lot of skincare products. Back in my “civilian” days, I stuck with the same moisturizer probably for about 10 years. I still like that moisturizer, Olay Regenerist, and I think it’s a good one, but I am happy that I’ve …
All my subscriptions came on time or early this month. I already wrote about my terrific September ipsy bag. And to follow up on my missing product with points, ipsy said they couldn’t replace it but they were sending me something else. It hasn’t arrived yet, and my fingers are crossed that it isn’t a …
I’ve made no secret of my love for FarmHouse Fresh’s fabulous food-inspired natural skincare products. I have loved every product I’ve tried so far. And though still three months away, the holidays and gift-giving season will be here before we know it. FarmHouse Fresh in general, and the two products I’m writing about today are …
Sponsored Post on behalf of Groupon. But all my opinions and experiences are honest and my own. I’ve written about my love for Groupon in the past: their coupons, great deals on beauty products. Once, I even got a fabulous deal on a gift card for Sephora through Groupon. Now, I’d like to talk about …
We’re into September, but I haven’t posted anything about my three $10 beauty subscriptions from August. So I’ll do one post on all three. Let’s see which one did the best in August. Birchbox Birchbox always gets delivered first. That’s a plus. It’s a cute box with fun colors and patterns that remind me …
August was a good month for me in terms of emptying out beauty products. Just about all were full-size products so I love recycling them to make room for more. Several I replaced with another one of the same, but a few I went on to something new. Let’s see what’s in the recycling …
Earlier this summer, Jeff told me that he had an idea to use oil for shaving. Jeff’s a creative guy, and he’s always coming up with new ideas or different ways to use familiar things. He thought oil would make his skin soft and would give him a closer shave. Then he said he came …
Retexturing is a relatively new buzzword in skincare. In fact, I just reviewed a facial retexturizer from another skincare brand a couple of weeks ago. Now, retexturing is happening for body care. Exuviance, a brand that I use often, is known for their founders, Drs. Van Scott and Yu, who discovered the antiaging benefits of glycolic …
Vitamin C has been a thing for several years now, especially in facial serums. I’m always trying to fade my sun damage, so vitamin C serum is a staple in my skincare routine. When I had a chance to try OZ Naturals Vitamin C Cleanser, I was all in. Although I’m never sure how much …
Typically, I steer clear of mud masks. My dry skin usually protests. But in the summer, the heat and humidity transforms my dry skin into something else. My pores are more visible, and I actually have occasional breakouts on my chin and either side of my nose. What’s up with that? So when I had …
Don’t you love skincare products that make an immediate difference in the look and feel of your skin? Well, I sure do. About a month ago, StriVectin sent me their Overnight Resurfacing Concentrate to try out. It comes in an opaque white glass bottle with a dropper, and the concentrate itself is white. It looks …
Several years ago, I used Ole Henriksen skincare almost exclusively. But once I became a beauty blogger, I ended up testing so many different skincare brands that I never had the opportunity to be a brand loyalist. So I was pleased when Influenster chose me to receive free Ole Henriksen skincare samples to try out that …
I didn’t think I had enough empties in June so I waited till July, and now I’m swamped with empties. I have two more products that are 99% empty but I’ll wait on them till August. This is enough! Let’s get started! Look at all this. I can hardly wait to recycle them! Skincare …
I love summer (except maybe this 90+ degree heat with a broken A/C system), and I love to be outdoors. Our summers are so short in New England, I want to spend as much time outside as I can, at the beach, jogging, gardening, walking in the woods. But when I was young, I loved …
Boy, am I experienced when it comes to skincare products! I think I’ve tried almost every skincare product in the world, lol. I may be exaggerating, but I certainly have tried a lot. And at this point, I know what I like and what works for my dry, mature, somewhat sensitive skin. A few …
