Oh Bobbi Brown- you and your beautifully tempting colour palettes designed to make anyone look like themselves, only more polished. I love Bobbi’s aesthetic and style. I have always abhorred the overly made up look (well, except in the 80s….) and her “less is more” and “emphasize your best features” philosophy works for me perfectly. In…
I Pour Champagne In My Bath
The story goes that the perfume house of Caron created Royal Bain de Caron exclusively to satisfy the whims of a Californian millionaire who wanted to replace his extravagant champagne baths. It was originally called Royal Bain de Champagne, but, like Yves St Laurent’s Champagne perfume that became Yvresse, the Champagne people of France had…
Chanel Jersey is a Pretty, Soft, & Fluffy Lavender
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 took…
Bobbi Brown Bath Perfume- Good Clean Fun
I’m nothing if not a woman of broad tastes. I can appreciate vintage Guerlain Aprés L’Ondee parfum, swoon over it’s heartbreaking beauty while weeping over it’s unavailability while I watch bottles as rare as gems sell for many thousands on ebay. But, I am not a perfume snob, and I can appreciate something that makes…
The Best $15 I’ve Spent This Summer: Nuxe Skincare Delights
I was wandering the aisles of the mothership, I mean the drugstore, the other day, looking for some mini sized product faves to take on an upcoming trip out west. I just happened to spy this darling little kit of Nuxe delights in wee travel sizes for $15. I had heard a bit of chatter…
My Skin is Soft & Softly Scented
Being the product junkie that I am, I continually try new beauty products. Lotions and potions are my favourite, as I am a moisturizing fiend. Thankfully for my wallet, I have never found an expensive body lotion that has impressed me enough to ditch my drugstore fave, Nivea Q-10. It applies like a dream, sinks…
Skincare For Dear Old Dad*
So, before Dad adds our non-cologne fragrance options to his routine, he really needs to treat his skin. There are a couple lines available to Dad to help him elevate his skincare from whatever shower gel/soap/shaving cream he has within arm’s reach. Anyone can go to the shaving section at the drugstore. Let’s bump it up a…
Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel Soothes and Beautifies
After being so impressed by Skinceuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50, I had to try their serums. I’d read rave reviews, and I’m on a bit of a serum kick these days as well. Serums are the perfect way to treat the skin as they just sink right in and get to work, and there is something…
Vichy Love and Make Up Bag Essentials
I don’t know what “Beauty Ice” is, but I want some. In which I share some more Vichy love! You can read about where my Vichy love affair started here. Plus, I share two make up bag essentials I just can’t be without….this month. Links to information regarding the products I discuss in the…
Fragrance for Men That Hate Cologne
I suppose I could just compile a list of colognes that you could simply go get for the dad in your life, but that would be boring and likely leave that dad with something he won’t use. Especially if he isn’t a cologne wearing kind of dad. There are ways to encourage dad to step…
