Image via Kiehls Lately, it seems that I’m in some losing battle between myself and skincare products. When it comes to my skincare regimen, I’ve decided that I’m a pretty simple girl.  I like my cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream and the weekly facial mask.  That’s it. However, I’ve noticed that some problems arise where [...]

I would only wear concealer, powder, and foundation on special occasions. During my [...]

Finding the right makeup to match my skin tone has always been something of a challenge. Sure, there are plenty of lines out there, but it has always been something of a trial and error process to find which lines work best for me and my medium brown skin tone. So whenever I hear about [...]

Who said that good beauty products have to cost a fortune?   For me, it doesn’t when using Mario Badescu products.  I posted awhile ago about skincare products I was using and Mario Badescu’s Chamomille Night Cream was on my list.   Recently, I bought a few more products and I’ve been using them to find some [...]

Sofia Coppola’s medicine cabinet.  Source: TFS I’ve always been interested in the contents of one’s medicine or beauty cabinet.   I’m always curious to know what products someone uses on their hair, skin, and face.   When I first saw this picture of Sofia Coppola’s medicine cabinet in French Vogue,  I thought, “Whoa”.  But then again, who [...]
