Skin Proud Skincare
A beauty trend right now is skincare marketed to younger teens – forget about Noxema, we are talking about skincare that’s non-stripping, mindful of the skin barrier, and feels comforting. It’s a theory I have, and here’s my proof: Skin … Continue reading
New Makeup From Trinny London and Fenty Beauty
Honestly, misting setting spray before I even get started with makeup (after sunscreen) is a game-changer and it helps everything last so much longer. Trinny London has a new foundation – BFF Stay all Day – and it actually does … Continue reading
Acid Toning
A lunch time discussion turned to Paula’s Choice BHA which is really one of the most iconic skincare products ever because even people who aren’t into skincare have heard of it, and will go to the trouble of ordering it … Continue reading

Even I’m surprised that I like a perfume that smells like minty herbal mouthwash, but it’s 25 degrees today and I went for a walk outside so Geranium Pour Monsieur is perfect. This is as close to kitsch that Frederic … Continue reading
Prada Les Infusions Perfume Collection
Prada’s Infusion collection is one of the more over-looked perfume line – maybe because it’s not quite their high end line. Truly, Infusion d’Iris is one of the best in the line and the others either have the same base … Continue reading
