NARS balancing foam cleansing mousse

The word ‘balance’ is often used in skincare and health talk.  I can’t help but think of myself delicately trying to balance on a beam.  Did anyone else have to go through the balance beam drill in school?  I could NOT stand it. 

I was terrible at it to begin with but in addition [...]

Post from a Master Cleanse Dropout

I’ve been silent the last day or two.  I wanted to go through a master cleanse before les vacances in August.  It’s something in my French genes I think, but I love to go on vacation when most Americans are thinking about back to school and winding down their summer fun.

So anyway, Tuesday night [...]

exzema care: theraplex FT emollient for dry skin

Boy2001 suffers from dry skin much of the time.  It’s totally manageable with maintenance but finding products with little or no scent that don’t look girly is always an issue.  I had every intention of having him use theraplex but then I noticed they have mineral oil and petrolatum and although I’m not a fanatic, I [...]

Anastasia’s Brow Gel Product Review

 Anastasia’s Brow Gel is a clear gel that keeps your eyebrows looking good all day.  When I was in High School I used clear mascara to keep my eyebrows in place.  The experience was not without incident, most of the time the formula would flake up or get stiff as a board.  Not the look I was going [...]

I received these quite some time ago and just haven’t got around to writing this post.  I keep these by my bed for when I’m too lazy to get up and wash my face at night.  They’re super convenient, come in a plastic baggie so as you use [...]

Roll Wrinkles Away with Sera Skin Care Product Review

I’ve been testing Sera skin care and have fallen in love with the little glass tube that rolls away the troubles.

I don’t have (m)any wrinkles yet, perhaps two or three so my usage is purely preventative at this point.  I LOVE this product because it is a small, think the size of a lipstick tube.  [...]
