Phytosurgence Toasted Blushes just debuted this month! It’s a collection of four new blush Skin Spark Blush Balms. While I was buying those, I also purchased four more Spectral Shine Radiance Balms in shades I haven’t reviewed before (they’ve also changed packaging on this formula and modified the texture to be a little more giving, per the brand). Phytosurgence Toasted […]
Be considerate about your gel manicures Boyce says she’s found that a thin layer of gel can help protect nails from breaking and help them grow nicely. However, she says, “the key is to make sure your nail technician gives you fills every two to three weeks, rather than removing the gel completely each time. The removal process, even with […]
Ciara has been teasing us all summer long with the release of her new song, “J.U.M.P.” It started with the singer twerking atop a midnight-gray Ford Bronco with blonde, curly hair. She then teased the fans some more with an out-of-the-blue Cookie Monster shade of blue, too. On July 17, Ciara shared a next-level look with red hair as fierce […]
The marketing has been everywhere, and I finally tested out this L’Oreal Voluminous Noir Balm mascara. I know… mascara-balm.. it’s weird. Just like lip oils are weird. Every time I use one that’s an oil, I get that sensation of eating pizza as a little kid and having oils all over my lips. I hate it. Anyway, the idea of […]
[unpaid/sample] Two new products in this intensely fruity-zesty fragrance from Jo Loves – A Fragrance Paintbrush and a sumptuous. Mango isn’t my favourite fragrance – I’m not even sure how much I like the fruit and that’s because there’s some back note that just isn’t very pleasant and it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is; maybe […]
Have a beautiful day! So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. Denim skirt or denim vest? I’ll take the […]
I LOVE the Fresh series at Whamisa ~ the Fresh line is for oily, dehydrated skin and it works so well for me ~ see my review on the Fresh Cactus line and my reviews on IG. I think sometimes Whamisa gets a bad reputation due to the fact that a lot of folks jump on the current hype without […]
L’Oreal Deep Dark Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Bronzer ($15.99 for 0.31 oz.) is a deep, red-toned brown with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It was a touch drier in feel compared to the other shades in the range, but it was a smoother take on this shade (as I have found comparable hues to often be […]
Proving that her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” Jennifer Lopez wed fiancé Ben Affleck this weekend in a dress from an “old movie,” she shared on her OntheJLo.com newsletter. The 52-year-old blushing bride looked gorgeous in a classic look as the reunited pair finally made it official, more than 20 years after their original engagement.
