Going on holiday and spending time on planes, in the sun, contrasted with cold, snow and super dry central heating takes a toll on skin. I grabbed a bottle of CeraVe PM lotion, as I had read rave reviews of it’s super moisturizing abilities while being non oily or pore clogging. At under $15 for a 3oz bottle at the drugstore I figured it was worth the risk. Well, [...]
My name is Jane, and I’m a lip-balm-aholic. I got distracted by another lip balm. Again. But, this one is different! I don’t have anything like it! No, really….Nivea Lip Butter is actually a lovely, soothing and emollient lip balm. The Raspberry Rosé tastes and smells like a creamy raspberry dessert, and gives a sheer light pink sheen to the lips. It makes my lips feel soft and soothed, which [...]
I thought I would do a quick round up of some of my new favourite Skinceuticals prodz. I was teasing last week on Twitter about their Antioxidant Lip Repair and I have to say, that was instant love. Ok so let me share…. Skinceuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair: this is a unique lip moisturizing product in that it has the texture of a lotion, which makes it ideal for those of [...]
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 [...]
My name is Jane and I am a lip balm junkie. Yes, I admit it! My favourite lip balms are the smooth silky ones that leave a satiny finish on the lips, like La Mer Lip Balm and Chanel Hydramax Lip Care. You may also know that I am a jasmine lover. The scent of jasmine, the queen of flowers, is one of my most favourite perfume notes. So, bundle [...]
I don’t go out of my way to find organic or natural products. To be honest, a lot of my experience has been with products that are very back-yardy and not good enough to justify me switching. I was intrigued however, by Osmia Organics, and more particularly, their Lip Lustre. Osmia Organics is lovely company that started with a soap making class, then grew to into love and a passion [...]
As you know, dear readers, I am always looking out for you and looking for ways to keep your skin soft and moisturized. Lips, too, need special care, what with all the mistletoe action at this time of year (note: keep Tic Tacs in purse). Eucerin, long known and loved for its cult moisturiser, Aquaphor, the petrolatum based miracle worker. If you have severely chapped or dry skin, you need [...]
Even though I am obsessed with beauty, I don’t spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. Reason? Laziness, perhaps? Also, as time goes by, I find I don’t like the feeling of a lot of stuff on my face. But, like anyone, I like to look polished, bright eyed and as radiant as possible with as little effort as possible. I spend time on my skincare routine, [...]
Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Tarnish is a big sort of pencil/crayon that tints like a stain, shines like a gloss, moisturizes like and plumps as well. I first read about it on Best Things In Beauty and for a lip colour-phobe like me, the fact I felt I had to have it was impressive on it’s own. I guess I liked the idea that it wasn’t really a lipstick, as I [...]
I had a funny feeling the other day while I was sharing my love for the L’Oreal Color Riche Balms to the the world aka via Twitter. I have been meaning to do a post on the L’Oreal Rose Elixir shade but haven’t managed to take photos of the swatches yet- bad beauty blogger!. I have, however, recommended it to friends. Everyone who tries it loves it and is obviously [...]
