Hollywood’s Beauty Secret, Margaret Kroesen’s Frownies

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 [...]

Beauty Bait: Priori Radical Defense EPF

I’m just fixing up a fresh batch of beauty bait, you don’t even need a pole to catch these.

Feeling like your standard SPF leaves you exposed to pollution and free radicals? Priori’s Radical Defense  is the first ever dual chamber SPF with an Environmental Protection Faction (EPF) to protect against all harsh outdoor elements.  Totally out of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.  [...]

Redpoint Airbrush Effects Cream Blush Product Review

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 [...]

Beautiful Skin Secret: Sashimi de Grenouille

In the quest for more beautiful skin, I have some exciting taste tests planned my lovely readers in the coming weeks.  And while preparing myself mentally I pondered a question: how far would you go for beauty? would you eat weird stuff if it really made you lose weight, not need a facelift, banish all wrinkles, etc…?  Warning the [...]

24.7 Skincare Wrinkle Treatment Cream Product Review

24.7 Skincare Wrinkle Treatment Cream comes in a little jar.  It’s almost a solid and has a waxy feel.  I’m only reviewing the experience, not the effectiveness of wrinkle treatment since I have only two wrinkles according to the anaylisis I underwent at the Total Beauty summit. 

I used it between my eyebrows because I know those [...]

Jurlique Biodynamic Beauty from Australia Part Two

So, is green the new black? “no, green is life” according to Jurlique CEO Eli Halliwell.  When people say, green is the new black, it implies that going green is a trend and therefore temporary and trivial.  Halliwell instead sees the change to green as a shift in thinking.  People are more aware than ever that we are at [...]
