I was so happy to finally get to try the It’s A 10 hair care line. I hadn’t been able to find a lot of online reviews about the line, but it still seemed to a favourite of many beauty bloggers. I was particularly keen to try the It’s A 10 For Blondes series, including the Leave-In Spray and Five Minute Hair Repair. The first thing I noticed was how [...]
I have always been a fan of Dermalogica’s Sheer Tint Moisture. However, I have such an obscene extensive collection of cosmetics that it is easy to try new stuff and try more new stuff until you forget what you loved in the first place. Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisture SPF 15: “Sheer Tint Moisture SPF15 is a convenient, three-in-one product: a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer, a sheer color wash and sun protection. For [...]
I was very excited when my friend Elena called me to tell me my Lippmann Gel Lab set was in at Holt’s. They are selling out everywhere so I had to order it. A gel mani I can do at home? With no equipment? That works with all my nail polishes? Yes please! From Deborah Lippmann’s site: The New Healthy Alternative to Gel Manicures. No lamps, no tools, no damage [...]
Bobbi Brown is known for her natural and easy to wear make up. She is all about emphasizing our best features, and not coating us in layers of make up we don’t want or need. Which I love. I also love her simple and soft perfumes. Bobbi Brown Beach is a summertime classic, and I love Bath, although I’m pretty sure it is discontinued. Shame, as it is one of [...]
I don’t remember how I stumbled upon the Headband Curls tutorial video from Trade Secrets on YouTube but it seemed so cool and easy I ran out and bought headbands right away and was going to try it. Newsflash: I haven’t tried it yet. The other day I got a text message from my daughter Emilie (aka half of The Beauty School Dropouts) who is away at school in NY state doing [...]
I suppose unless one has very dry skin, it might seem counterintuitive to put oil on our faces. But when they are pure and natural, they are actually the fastest way to deliver essential moisture and nutrients to our skin. The oils used in facial preparations have a molecular structure that works with our skin. Mineral oil or petrolatum based products can still bind moisture in our skin and lips, [...]
I love hair oils, but I think some explaining has to be done. There are a million and one hair “oils” on the market, and even more misinformation and BS about what the actual ingredients are, and what, if any, the benefits are for your hair. There are oils, and there are silicones, more commonly known as serums, but often masquerading as “oils”. Let’s be clear – silicones, per se, [...]
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan Vichy skincare, and in particular the ProEVEN line of products. I cannot be without my ProEVEN cream, and both of my daughters use it as well. You can read about my love for ProEVEN cream here. Even though I am using my Dove Beauty Bar to clean my face, I am always still on the lookout for an HG cleanser. Also, [...]
Guerlain has launched a new perfume called Eau de Lingerie. Being the Guerlain perfume fanatic that I am, I *had* to have this and bought it without even trying it, as I knew I would love it. And love it, I do. Here is what Guerlain says: “Close to the skin, in the very place where fragrance settles, our lingerie lies… and this inspired Guerlain to conceive of an innovative [...]
The notoriously yummy and sweet line of beauty products, Cake Beauty, has a very special line up based on one of my favourite candies. Of course, we think of Valentine’s Day when we think of Sweetheart candies but I’ve always loved them all year long. So obviously I just had to try the new Cake Beauty Sweethearts line! I decided on the Sweethearts Luscious Lip Butter/Balm and the Sweethearts Luscious [...]
