As promised, I am pleased to review the Makeup Eraser. I’ve used both the full-sized and mini cloths for over a year and love this product. I love them so much that I’ve given them as holiday stocking stuffers. I normally wet the cloth with warm water and I proceed to removing my makeup. I …
Fenty Skin by Rihanna
For the past week I’ve been trying Fenty Skin by Rihanna, specifically the Total Cleans’r, Fat Water, and Hydra Vizor. While I’m not the biggest Rihanna fan aka “Navy”, I must admit I’m loving this trio as much as my long-standing beloved Origins routine. My Fenty Skin Start’r Set was a Sephora gift as part …
My Current Skincare Regimen
I can’t say that I was ever really consistent with my skincare routine before but over the years I’ve loved Benefit Cosmetic Mint Souffle, Neutrogena, Amore Pacific, and Origins. A few months ago I promised myself I would include skincare as a self-care priority and started facial mask Mondays and Fridays. More on this in …
My Top 15 Current Winter Comforts
Come to think of it, this is a lot like a winter hygge list… cardigan/sweater or faux fur lined hoodie: alpaca cardigan from Timber View Farm Alpacas and Victoria Secret Pink Collection lotion/body butters with at home spa accessories I posted previously (see Pure Fiji and Sonoma Lavender Company) hot beverage: my favorites are hot …
Spavia To The Rescue
As part of my 2019 goal of self-care and relaxation, I purchased a 3 month flex membership to my local Spavia in Thornwood back in September and since have renewed my membership. Being that I had such a rough 2019 riddled with family emergencies, it was time to do something special for myself for a …
The Habe Travel Makeup Bag
I bought a Habe travel makeup bag from Amazon.com as a gift recently for my mother and she loved it. Had I not already owned a similar case from years ago, I would have bought another for myself. You can see for yourself how much it can hold and the variety of items you can store. …
Fantasies of Bite Beauty’s Lip Lab
We were on the way to have dinner in Manhattan with my husband’s old college buddy and his family this past Friday. Since we arrived earlier that afternoon to expressly browse through some shops, like McNulty’s Tea & Coffee on Christopher Street, I happened to also tack on a quick walk to Bite Beauty’s Lip …
My Favorite Cosmetic Brushes: Sigma Beauty
Soft, durable, least shedding bristles, overall sleek design, grabs just the right amount of pigment whether natural or synthetic fiber [though this depends on you too ;)], fairly affordable (great investment), and easy to clean… these are all the things I love about my Sigma Beauty brushes :). I have two of their sets (use …
The Vintage Beauty
For a long time I believed red lipstick simply looked awful on me. One day, I was inspired by CamiLovesKiwi on You Tube to give reds another try. At first I wasn’t used to the bold look of red on me, even with very minimal eye makeup minus winged liner, so I quickly gave up …
A New Relaxation Ritual
Inspired by Priscilla Ahn’s (musician) positive review of Rain Living, I’m planning to make a purchase to include a few of their bath bombs and bath salts. It’s been a small decision put off for too long; maybe about a year even :(. Oh my, has time flewn! I recently saw their products at the …
