Stay Don’t Stray

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

I have always loved the names of Benefit Cosmetics products. I recently got a sample of the Stay Don’t Stray concealer and eyeshadow primer and it is fantastic. My eye shadow always ends up streaky by the end of the day/night no matter what formula I use and this product completely eliminates that [...]

Miracle Face Scrub

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I love to try out new skin care products even to the point of it being bad for my skin because I change it up more than I should. I have been on the search for a great scrub for awhile now but I never end up completely satisfied. My skin is pretty [...]

Summer Blush

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I normally wear powder blush but on hot and sticky summer days it just doesn’t look as natural as I would like. I have tried the various cream and gel blushes on the market but have never been all too pleased with the way they look. They always came out streaky and were [...]

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Now that it is summer and the weather is warmer and stickier us ladies can never have too many options when it comes to dry shampoos. I recently tried out yet another brand called Batiste Dry Shampoo and it might be my favorite one yet. It smells terrific (it is available in two [...]

Fake Not Bake

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I have made it abundantly clear on my site that I avoid the damaging rays of the sun at all costs. However, that does not mean that I don’t love the healthy glow that a light tan brings to my skin. I am very pale, even bordering on pasty, so I have a [...]

Sunny Days Ahead

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Now that summer is right around the corner (I promise!) it is time to get serious thinking about sun protection. Any smart girl knows that sun protection isn’t just for the summer or vacation time as harmful UV rays are here year-round, even when it is cloudy. I am always playing around [...]

Great New Lip Balm

Friday, March 26th, 2010

For years I have been a very devoted fan of La Mer’s lip balm. At $40 it was definitely much pricier than the drugstore variety but it was amazing and lasted forever (literally over a year). I finally ran out so of course went out looking for a replacement. Chanel just came [...]

My Favorite Eye Shadow for Spring

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I have always had a very simple makeup routine, especially when it comes to my eyes.  A wash of color on the lids, maybe some deep navy eyeliner, a swipe of mascara, and I am good to go.  However, I recently became inspired to try something new.  I went to Sephora and played around and [...]

All Natural Beauty Secret

Friday, March 5th, 2010

My skin can sometimes be a bit fussy. I try to integrate a retinol product into my skin care regimen a couple of nights a week to prevent aging, but it makes my skin really dry and flakey, even in the lowest doses. I recently ordered Rodin Olio Lusso from Beauty Habit’s website [...]

Amazing Eye Treatment

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I have been hearing and reading good things about Relastin Eye Silk for awhile now so when I ran out of my eye cream I decided to order it and give it a try. I have no idea why I waited so long! It takes care of all of the common eye [...]
