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.

Frownies are simple and effective, the best part? Frownies are easy to incorporate into your bedtime routine. I’m admittedly late to reporting on Frownies, I don’t have (m)any wrinkles yet but I figure it can’t hurt to pre-emptively train my muscles, right?!
How to use Frownies
Sometimes when things are simple, they stump me! it’s true, I’m like, that’s [...]
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 to that [...]
Not exactly a beauty book but so much fun and informative! I had to make sure you knew about it. Robyn Moreno’s, Practically Posh, delivers tips and tricks with style most ladies can attain. Not for the snooty pants among us, this is a book for the real life women who want to know how [...]
Sun Protection is Vital, Kiehl’s All-Sport Year Round sun block is available in different strengths and applications.
Choose from lotions or sprays and don’t forget those lips.
Protection for active adults, this stuff will stay on through your daily activity.
A lightweight, moisturizing formula, contains Vitamin E and Aloe while providing UVA AND UVB protection. Oh yeah, and did I forget [...]
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 prefer [...]
Jessica Biel on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’ August edition looking beautiful in a gown from the Calvin Klein Collection. Dancing with Designers is a spin on the show, Dancing with the Stars. Nice way for a magazine to tie into what’s hot on tv. The spread includes pics of:
Biel & Diane von Furstenberg doing [...]
Light, bouncy shiny hair is just a wash and condition away with L’Oreal’s Vive Pro Shampoo & Conditioner. I’ve had L’Oreal on the mind since the Total Beauty tour of L’Oreal’s ultra swanky store in LA in May.
The shampoo is great, I love the pop of color in my shower and my hair is super [...]
My personal favorite Redpoint item, Airbrush Effects Blushwhip is a light and airy blush. The color is a perfect dewy glow.
The packaging is bulkier than I personally prefer, a tub inside a larger container, but it’s perfect for your home vanity. The color can’t be beat, a nice corally tone with flecks. I use just one layer [...]
This is my current must have! First moisturizer, then Smashbox Photo Op Under eye Brightener, then Stila’s Illuminating Foundation. I haven’t been getting much sleep lately, with the sun setting so much later, I lose track of time and the kids stay up later which pushes everything else, i.e. blogging, later into the night.
That’s where Photo [...]
Eye Shadow, do you? If you do, try Thevi’s eyeshadows available in gorgeous shades, I especially love dark brown, oatmeal and charcoal. Rich, crease-resistant color in adorable packaging that goes on smooth and shows up on your skin tone.
I’ve had this shadow banging around my purse for a couple of weeks and there are NO [...]

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
