I have been looking at the various cleansing tools for face and body for a couple of years now trying to decide whether to make the investment. My skin is sensitive and dry. I was concerned that a cleansing tool might be too much for my skin. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to …
IMHO, January is skincare month. The weather is cold and often dry and it does a number on my skin. In my blogpost last week, My Winter Beauty Musts, I mentioned a number the skincare products that I rely on to hydrate my winter dry skin. Well, there’s another product that I wanted to devote its …
I’ve been hearing a lot lately about DermOrganic, a line of better-for-you, argan extract based skincare and haircare products. The products are made with a high percentage of organic ingredients. When it comes to skincare where the product is absorbed into my body, organic ingredients are important to me. I was excited to have a chance to …
Yesterday in Massachusetts, we got a reprieve. After a Saturday night snowfall, Sunday saw temperatures rise to 55 degrees, a virtual heatwave at this time of year. Today, the sun is out, thank goodness, but the wind is blowing like mad bringing in a new cold or, shall I say, frigid front. Ugh. This is …
Somehow with everything going on this December, my most recent ipsy bag, Fearless Heroine, got lost in my attention. So before we get too deep into January, here it is. The bag itself is definitely understated: a black, satiny dop kit shape with a burgundy zipper and heart-shaped ipsy zipper pull. I collect heart-shaped stuff, …
Years ago, one of my college friends who was a real Francophile told me all about espadrilles, a snack cheese called La Vache Qui Rit (that we now know as The Laughing Cow), wine from Bordeaux, and Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray from the French Alps. I knew that the French drank water from bottles rather …
Since I started Never Say Die Beauty, I have really tried a lot, and I mean a lot, of beauty products. Probably more just this year than in the entire rest of my life! 😳 😆 Because it’s the end of the year, I wanted to put together a list of the products that I …
I love serums and I love the skincare products I tried from InstaNatural. I recently reviewed InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum and Moroccan Rosewater here. So I jumped at the chance via Brandbacker, a brand/blogger association, to try a couple of the eye products in the Youth Express collection from InstaNatural. Who couldn’t use a …
Time is moving on, and Hanukah is a few days away and Christmas is in less than two weeks. Oh my. If you are still thinking about gifts to get, here are a few more suggestions to go along with the early picks I wrote about a couple of weeks ago here. Just …
And another vitamin C serum joins the pantheon of wonderful serums! I had the opportunity to try Valentia Even Glow Serum with Vitamin C 20%. Even though I’ve tried about a million vitamin C serums over the past year or so, I am always up for trying new ones. As I mentioned last time, each …
A couple of months ago I decided to try some inexpensive cleansing wipes from Forever 21 at the recommendation from a fellow blogger. The store didn’t have any of the lavender cleansing wipes she mentioned, so I went with the Cocoa Shea Butter wipes because they said “moisturizing” on the packaging. What a terrible …
InstaNatural is a brand that was new to me. I had an opportunity to try out two of their facial skincare products through my participation in Tomoson.com. I received InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum, and I also chose Moroccan Rose Water. Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum I must say I am becoming a vitamin C serum …
A few weeks ago, I received Gratiae Exfoliating Body Scrub to try out via my association with Tomoson.com. Upon opening the box, I realized that this product was something special. The body scrub was beautifully wrapped in cream-colored branded wrapping paper. That reminded me of fancy apples or pears that are wrapped with paper to protect …
As if I need more enabling when it comes to shopping for beauty products! I recently fell for the beauty site, Gloss48.com. Gloss48 shares the best in indie beauty, gathering new, independent and cult brands. Although there are plenty of big brands that I love, I find myself drawn to the up-and-comers created by entrepreneurs …
