Jean Naté After Bath Splash is another terrific product from my youth that seems to have disappeared from Canadian drugstores. Happily, it is everywhere in the US! At $10 for a huge bottle, how could I not get it? I used to love the splash, the spray cologne and even the powder. It was the…

Short Post. Miraculous Product. La Roche Posay Cicaplast
I have mentioned La Roche Posay Cicaplast in passing, which isn’t really fair. It is a miraculous product I can’t be without and deserves a solid mention.

When I Wear Prada L’Eau Ambrée I Could Devour Myself

Yesterday’s Perfumes has an enchanting review of the vintage formula. It’s been re-released and reworked with published notes of bergamot, neroli, violet, jasmine,…
Daly Lippy Love: Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Bonheur
I love my Chanel Rouge Coco Shines. They are moisturizing as well as sheer, which means they can be applied without a mirror ie. foolproof. This really appeals to the colour shy lip product lover in me, but there is the benefit of a gradual introduction to wearing colour on the lips. I don’t…

Nest Fragrances Birchwood Pine Candle Smells Like Winter
Nest Fragrances make beautiful candles for the home. Gorgeous, elegant candles with natural and rich scents. They have just enough “throw” (refers to the reach and scope of the scent that emanates from the candle) to gently scent the room without overwhelming. You only need to burn it for 20-30 minutes for hours of lovely…
