In this part of the world it has been very hot this summer. So taking my make up look from day to night without hosing down first can be a challenge. I am always improvising and trying shortcuts (so you don’t have to!) that can refresh and freshen my look easily and effectively. And I…
It’s Raining In My Perfume: Miller Harris La Pluie
Miller Harris is a London niche perfumer who has quite a following worldwide. Their scents range from soft and elegant to challenging and interesting, meaning there really is something for everyone.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Royallieu For Pale Rose Lips
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Royallieu The best part of Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks is the balm aspect. No other lipstick feels as soft, silky and conditioning as the Rouge Coco Shine line thanks to the built in balm. I adore them, and am grateful for an elegant and sheer lipstick that has a case…
Kiehl’s Supberbly Restorative Dry Oil Is Actually An Oil
I have a real problem with hair/skin treatments that call themselves “oils” when they are really 90%+ silicone. Bulletin: these are 90% of treatment oils on the market, for hair especially. If you like silicones, and find they work for you, well, this is good news for you. Silicones coat the hair with a smooth…
Clinique Chubby Stick Two Ton Tomato – Yummy!

And while not glossy, they aren’t matte either. The texture is more of a lovely balm, which just feels lovely. Swatched heavily & lightly Applied without…

Amazing Facial Scrub & Mask: Live Clean Fresh Face
A few things that I find that really help to keep my oily *cough* aging *cough* skin look fresh, clear and smooth are deep cleansing clay masks and scrubs. I don’t over-use either, as my sensitive skin rebels and freaks out if I use products that are too harsh, or if I use them too…
Chanel Jersey Makes Lavender Perfume Sexy
Chanel’s lastest offering in their Exclusive line is the lavender based Jersey. It was released to mixed reviews, but, luckily I know I have to judge things for myself so I still really wanted to check it out, given my mad love for Chanel perfumes. Chanel Jersey is named after the ubiquitous fabric Chanel…
Clinique Stay-Matte Hydrator Can Take The Heat
Wow. That was my reaction after an afternoon running around in the super heat we are having after using Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Stay-Matte Hydrator. I have been using it in conjunction with my Skinceuticals & Vichy regime and am in love. I use it more like a primer than a simple moisturizer. After…

Well, you asked for it, and you got it! I did a video tutorial for the beachy waves I posted here. Please excuse the editing- my editor, also known as my 16 year old daughter, is away at summer camp. Seriously- don’t laugh. I hope the video is helpful, but please feel free to…
