I’m still mourning the loss of my favorite eye cream ever, Best Bath Store’s Intensive Undereye Treatment. This stuff was just the perfect blend of rich and non-greasy, of wrinkle-smoothing and skin-conditioning. It had a simple, short ingredient list with natural basics like rose hydrosol and shea butter, and it contained caffeine which really helped [...] Okay, the post title may not be 100% accurate. But I fully intend to purchase a Clarisonic with my tax refund, which is money that the US government owes me. Give it back so I can have pretty skin! I filed my return really early this year, so I expect to get my dinero in [...] Sorry, couldn’t resist. I started using PSF’s Vitamin C Serum recently, after much hesitation. (I had a bad experience with a MyChelle C serum breaking me out, so I’ve been more than a little paranoid!) While I know it can take up to six weeks to really see (“C”) any difference, I can tell that [...] I’ve been holding off on getting my brows done for the past few months, ever since losing my job back in October. It just seemed like one of those expenses that I couldn’t justify, since theoretically I can maintain my brows pretty well on my own.

It’s from the same folks who make the Sonicare tooth brush, and Grant and I absolutely adore our shared Sonicare. I’ve been hearing more and more good stuff about the Clarisonic, so I started looking into at least trying one out. [...] I’ve been wanting to try a vitamin C serum ever since I read about people’s glorious results on EDS. But it’s a tricky substance: most C serums apparently oxidize really quickly, which means the highly unstable C “turns” and can actually do your skin more harm than good. It can be really hard to find [...] I only recently started feeling like I need to use an eye cream. (It may have had something to do with the fact that my eye shadow — which I tend to wear both on my lid and just under my lower lash line — started settling into the fine lines that are developing under [...] I was very excited to pick up this month’s ELLE magazine, even though it’s not one of my typical reads. On page 111, there’s an article on do-it-yourself skincare, and ELLE writer Maggie Bullock quoted me twice (including an ending quote, yay!). Unfortunately, the article doesn’t appear in the online mag, but I’ve uploaded a [...] |
