Thick foundation application, wet!

Two beauty heavy-hitters recently launched makeup removers that require no rinsing.  MAC has introduced Mineralize Charged Water Cleanser, and NARS launched Makeup Removing Water.  How do these liquid makeup removers work?  Think of favorite liquid eye makeup remover, and imagine using it all over your face.  That’s it in a nutshell!  Are these toners?  NO!  But those of us who abandoned the toner years ago can happily use this gentler alternative to mop up an oily t-zone.

Freeman Beauty, Feeling Beautiful Facial Mask in Chocolate Strawberry

Valentine’s Day can be depressing for the single (especially the recently single) so for those of you flying solo this year, I propose an evening of pampering and TLC.  Who says Valentine’s Day has to be celebration of a relationship? [Read more...]

Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme SPF20

arbonne re9 restorative day creme spf 20When it comes to protecting your skin, you don’t get an “A” for effort.  It’s essential to find a product that contains ingredients that protect against future damage, while improving the look of the skin in both the short and long term.

I’ve been using Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme, and LOVE this product!  Not only does the Arbonne formula contain the antioxidant Vitamin C (a must for aging skin), but also has an SPF20 to protect the skin from future sun damage.  I love that this Day Creme absorbs quickly into my skin, not leaving an oil-slick behind.  Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme wears beautifully under makeup.

Signature23 Vita C Elixir Review

Signature23 Vita C Elixir ReviewThis Spring/Summer I’ve been revisiting old favorites. After sampling products, I keep the ones I love in large Tupperware containers when it’s time to move on to other reviews. Feeling nostalgic (and wanting to clear my closet a bit), I’ve been rediscovering the best products of yesteryear!

I reviewed Signature23 Skin Care waaaaay back in the Summer of 2009. I truly loved Suzanne Stonebarger’s Vita C skincare kit.  The standout product from her skincare regimen was the Vita C Elixir. [Read more...]

Mineralize Charged Water Review

While making plans for a summertime (gulp!) vacation in the desert, a reservations agent attempted to prepare me for what 120 degree dry heat feels like.

“Just blast your hair dryer directly into your face,” was his helpful advice. [Read more...]

MAC Sized To Go

I lived out of a suitcase for over two years of my life (though it felt like 30!) and pride myself on my ability to pack light, and yet have everything I need. Each week, when I packed up my tiny carry-on for a 5+ day work-week, I’d see just how little I could bring. [Read more...]
