Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing Skincare [Review]

2015-06-22T15:06:00.000-07:00

A while back I received some deluxe samples of Clinique's new range to try out. If you have been reading this blog then you know I love Clinique and that they rarely have a dud product. So let's put my excitement over this new line aside and get right into it shall we?

May Empties

2015-06-17T00:05:00.000-07:00

I'm back with more empties from May. I used even less products last month which means I must be getting near the end of my sample stash right? This is another quick style post with each product review being a couple sentences or less.

Fresh Nude Sugar Lip Treatment [Review & Swatches]

2015-06-15T04:00:00.000-07:00

Fresh recently released a new Sugar Lip Treatment in Nude for Summer. Since I own every fresh Sugar Lip Treatment, I had to have this one as well. The Lip Treatments are great for those with perpetually dry lips like myself.

GlamGlow Youthmud TingleExfoliate Treatment Mask [Review]

2015-06-10T04:00:00.000-07:00

Recently I have used two sample sizes of the GlamGlow Youthmud TingleExfoliate Treatment Mask. I decided I would write a review on this product because it seems to be very popular in the beauty world and I figured I would add my take on it.

April Empties

2015-06-08T04:00:00.000-07:00

April was pretty light in the empties category as you will see. I am not sure why, maybe it's because I have been using full size products for things besides facial care lately. This is another quick review style post.

Real Techniques Sculpting Set [Review]

2015-06-03T04:00:00.000-07:00

Real Techniques are the brushes that I reach for the most in my collection and when I found out they had released a sculpting set I knew I had to have it. This is a Collector's Edition meaning it features special brushes not available in the core line.

March Empties

2015-06-01T04:00:00.000-07:00

March was dreary this year so I broke out the moisturizing products to breathe some life into my skin. I had a lot of products from a particular brand so I felt it was the right time to use them because I could use them all together to see how they perform. This is a quick style review post featuring products that I used up during the month of March.

Julep Long Weekend Eyeshadow Palette [Review & Swatches]

2015-05-23T14:05:00.001-07:00

Julep's latest eyeshadow palette released this month after debuting in the Secret Store. The packaging is a bit deceptive making one think that this palette includes pastels. However, the Long Weekend palette features soft neutrals for easy off-duty looks.

My Mother and Makeup

As we near Mother's Day I thought it would be nice to share a story about my Mom and makeup (this is a beauty blog after all.) My mother and I have not always seen eye to eye with regards to beauty and makeup and sometimes we still do not. As I look back over the years I can see how her style has influenced mine and vice versa.

February Empties

2015-04-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

February is a time for romance, and some of the items I used up during the month cater to that notion. I used more samples and even broke into a skin care set. This post is going to be another quick review style, but it will be slightly longer and contain a bit more information on each product.

Perricone 3-Day Skin Clear Diet

2015-04-22T11:00:00.000-07:00

After a period of having relatively good skin, I began getting lots of acne spots on my face, neck, back, etc. After examining my facial and body products, I came to the conclusion that it might be what I am eating that is affecting my skin. I have not been very good about what I eat lately and often turn to convenience food for lack of time. I went on over to the trusty Caroline Hirons blog and read her cheat sheets on skincare and found that she uses the Perricone 3-Day Skin Clear Diet when her skin is not behaving, so I decided to try it for myself.

January Empties

2015-04-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

The month of January starts a new year full of new ideas and possibilities. So, what better way to start the new year than trying out new products. This year I have made it my goal to use up all my samples. I tried to go through as many as I could in order to make a dent in my stash and also to maybe find some new products worth investing in full sizes. This will be another quick review post.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Sunscreen [Review]

2015-04-15T11:00:00.000-07:00

If you read my last post about items I purged at the end of last year, you will know that La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Sunscreen was one of them. I have a rule of thumb that is to only keep sunscreens for one year because they contain active ingredients that deteriorate fast. If I want to ensure the efficacy of the product I am using to keep skin cancer at bay I need to make sure the ingredients are as active and fresh as possible.

Annual Product Purge 2014

2015-04-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

Each year I try and round up products that I either don't like or do not use and get rid of them. I have a large collection and keeping extra products just makes it harder to find the products that I do like and do use. I also get rid of products that are not empty but past their prime and/or past their expiration date. This is going to be another quick review style post with a couple sentences or less about each product.

Empties 2014

2015-04-13T11:00:00.000-07:00

After a long hiatus I am back to blogging. I thought I would start off by showing all of the things I used last year. I want to get the empties posts out of the way so we can move on to other things. This is going to be a quick review style post with a sentence or less about each product.
