I feel like you don’t hear a whole lot of raving about natural and organic type beauty brands out there simply because, well, a lot of them fall short of results. I’ve discussed this with friends before. The idea of good-for-you products made with ingredients sourced from nature is appealing, but if it does nothing for your skin or...
At the end of last week, I felt very special to be invited to the local LATHER store in Phoenix to come check out the new mineral sunscreen they had released. I haven’t been to many PR events or launches, well, actually none, since I moved to AZ, and LATHER is a familiar brand from my past so I...
I rarely write about acne products because it’s not an on-going issue for me, but it does seem to flare up more during the hot Summer months. This past July was a doozy in terms of heat and that coupled with sweaty workouts and wearing makeup through the day landed me with some stubborn spots that just didn’t want...
If there is one step I truly enjoy while doing my skincare, it would be applying serums. Serums tend to offer more concentrated, targeted treatments for specific concerns, for example, mine would be hydration, minimizing discoloration, exfoliation, and fending off signs of aging. There is something for everyone out there, and I thought it would be fun to share...
If you ever asked me about my facial oil collection, I could probably fill an entire medicine cabinet with the options I have. Almost every brand has one, and there are so many ways to treat the skin with them, no matter what your skin type is like. I recently was invited to give True Botanicals Pure Radiance Oil...
It’s not common for me to choose higher coverage foundations because I feel it doesn’t look good on me. Sheer to medium is the sweet spot for me, hyperpigmentation, freckles, and all. But my curiosity has gotten the best of me this Summer and I wanted to try Supergoop CC Screen and see if I’d like the results. What...
I have to admit, the past two weeks in Arizona have been disgustingly hot. I say this more often than I should (guuuuuuyysss, it's so hot here!) but the temps really cranked up lately since we're in the thick of Summer. My face has been sweatier than usual and my makeup is going from dewy and cute to sweaty...
It’s been a long time since I’ve used anything from Kiehl’s, so it was a nice surprise when they invited me to give their new Ferulic Brew Rejuvenating Face Essence a try. I always remember Kiehl’s putting out nice products, and my husband was really into them at one point when we were dating. There was a soothing eye...
With my hands getting beat up all the time, I get really happy when something comes across my desk that is reparative and restorative to my hands. Green Goo is a new women-owned brand to me; one that makes plant-based first aid and body care products using all-natural and homeopathic ingredients. Considering I need products to be used on...
