This is my beauty blog, there are many beauty blogs but this one is mine.
My name's Delphine and I'm a thirty something, mom of three. Need to know more? read on and hang on tight, the road's been bumpy lately but there's smooth paved road up ahead.
I'll have a picture of me up here at some point and maybe some more talk to entertain you.

Shu Uemura’s Summer 2008 collection, Hana-Bi
Hana-Bi, Japanese for fireworks, literally translated as flower-fire! Isn’t that awesome…?! In Japan there’s always a link to nature and with summertime almost here, it’s time for Shu Uemura’s limited edition collection. Every year a festive array of beauty items are selected to commemorate Mr. Uemura’s 1983 opening of the beauty boutique in Omotesando, [...]
I’ve been using for a few weeks — Lavilin Deodorant Cream that is. I’m done buying whatever’s on sale, or what will look pretty on the bathroom sink, I want something that works and is long-lasting. This is a revolutionary concept, bye bye daily deodorant duty, you only need to apply Lavilin every few days.
Normally I would apply [...]
Another great product from Burt’s Bees. This is the After Sun Soother with Aloe & Linden Flower. The scent is divine, a MUST try, it’s a fresh scent for spring. We’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach and although I’m very good about putting sunscreen on the kids, I’m not as dilligent with it for myself. I haven’t [...]
Burn that image into your head and next time you go shopping for skincare make sure you look for the Natural Products Association (NPA) seal. This seal is marking a new era for consumers, no more confusion about what is natural and what is not.
Under the new program, products must follow strict guidelines set out [...]
The FDA has posted a warning about Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream, marketed by MOM Enterprises, Inc. The product was marketed to help nursing mothers heal cracking nipples from nursing but it has been revealed that some of the ingredients are harmful, specifically chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol.
Chlorphenesin relaxes skeletal muscle and can depress the central nervous system and [...]
Soon I will post pictures of my Rose Garden, I’ve been tending it gingerly waiting for my rose crop to reward me with the slightest reciprocity for my hours of attention. It takes a lot to grow roses, they are prone to lots of leaf diseases and infestations, not to mention little ones that want [...]
Lash Out against cosmetics companies
Some people around me have told me in the past not to lash out, but I just couldn’t help myself in this case. NO, I didn’t snap, it’s just that I’ve been in my little rut of mascaras, I tried something last month, but what can I say, sometimes new information comes [...]

A beauty blog fairytale...
Once upon a time, not too long ago, a lady was tired of talking heads that didn't get her lifestyle. She longed for one place where she could record her thoughts on the many wonderful products that came into her life and made it better (or worst).
Far from obsessive, cosmetics are only an enhancement to an already full fruitful life.
Originally inspired by the tea she drank and steeped constantly, now the best part of waking up is a steamy, frothy espresso. So she may be a little fickle with her beverages!
Steeping Beauty has a soft spot for all things beautiful.
- skincare
- fragrance
- hair care
- nails
As well as all things culturally significant to her favorite far far away lands... France, Brazil, Japan, USA. Let's see where this less than perfect princess will step...
xoxo
