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’m really excited all, because this is my FIRST giveaway on Clandestine Chic!  I hope it is something that you will all enter! The product is Perricone’s Advanced Face Firming Activator.   If you are like me, and you tend to skip your nightly routines when it comes to your face, then this is definitely for [...]

With Fall increasingly approaching and marking its territory,  I’ve been switching out my wardrobe and packing away the Spring/Summer items until next year.   For my beauty palette, I’ve been switching out the lighter, summery colors for the darker colors. And during this time, I had what Oprah calls (yes, collective eyeroll) an “Aha” moment. I [...]

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that my intentions the way I wear my makeup has changed. When I was in high school, I was all about the glitter with Urban Decay and Hard Candy (R.I.P) eyeshadows, eyeliners and lipsticks.

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 [...]

If there is one facial feature that I always strive for perfection then it’d be the eyebrows. I’m a part of the school of thought that believes the appearance and shape of the brows transform the rest of your face and raggedy brows just aren’t a good look. Plus, I’ve got something of a wonky [...]

I know, I know, another magazine post, but I had to write about this one.  I was actually gearing up to write another beauty post about beauty and pampering products I’ve been into lately, when I saw a link to an article posted on Twitter from Yahoo’s Shine Fashion and Beauty Blog about French Elle’s [...]

Lately, I have been obsessed with having clear and beautiful skin.  I recently went to my local Nordstrom spa and got a facial from a  outspoken esthetician.  She lectured about my skin and was able to conclude that my diet was poor, I’m stressed and whatever products I’m using just ain’t working for me.   She [...]
