I've always been a big fan of Philosophy, so when I needed a new facial cleanser I looked to them for guidance. I was really needing something that remove eye make-up. They recommended their Purity Made Simple Mineral Oil-Free facial cleanser. I was a little skeptical. I have oily skin and couldn't imagine washing my [...]

Moisturizing Sunscreen
All my life I've received comments about how soft my skin is. I've been a moisturizing fool for as long as I can remember. The thought of getting dressed without applying moisturizer makes me squirm. Just like our faces, the body needs a barrier as well. During the winter I opt for an intense lotion [...]
Bunny Bronzers In A Compact
The first bronzer I remember using was my mom's Indian Earth. It came in a terra-cotta pot and was a fine powder that could be used as a bronzer, eye shadow, ect. My mom loved this stuff. I found it difficult to apply, maybe because as a teen in the 80's we were a little [...]
Surf’s Up-Protect Your Assets
The days are getting longer, the temperature is getting higher, and it's only a matter of time before my days can be spent at the beach. I've written several times already about the importance of proper sun protection, and although I have not always been diligent, it is now a top priority when I'm having [...]
Beach Lover
By now, I think you all realize I love summer. I am a Leo and we cats love the sun and heat. I also love summer because I have a glow and need less makeup. Because of the importance of sunscreen, most of my glow is created by self-tanner and the right combination of products. [...]
Overnight Skin Renewal
I recently ran out of my Clinique Turnaround Night Cream and was debating what to try next. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't unhappy with the Turnaround cream, I'm just itching to try more amazing products. I have heard so many wonderful things about Skinceuticals that I decided it was my next step. Besides, it's [...]
Sunscreen That Creates Clearer Skin
I was a naughty girl this past weekend and did not bring sunscreen with me when we went for a hike (there may have been some beach time as well). Of course, every product I put on my face contains sunscreen, but as we all know it's essential to reapply. And then there's the problem [...]
Laser In A Bottle
I'm at the age when you start to consider medical procedures. I'm not against cosmetic surgery or procedures, but I am afraid of looking like a monster. You all know what I'm talking about (and if you don't, just turn on "The Real Housewives"). No one wants to look like they've had work done, but [...]
Radiant Skin In A Pad
I'm all about glowing skin, but for me it's a fine line between glow and a greasy shine. I've tried so many products that promise radiance and luminosity, but have often been left disappointed. Then I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Intensive Glow Pads Brightening Treatment. At first I was not a fan. They solution [...]
Smell Like The Beach
I'm sure you've all heard that scent is a powerful emotion. I happen to believe this is true. There's nothing better than when you catch a whiff of something and suddenly you're transported to a different time and place. Memories come flooding back and you can actually feel how you felt at that moment. It's [...]
