I’ve always wanted to try Sircuit Skin. I’d like to say it’s because it’s an all-natural line with organic ingredients, but I have to admit it’s the playful product names and modern packaging that really caught my eye. So, I started with a product I was hoping to love, a facial cleanser for problem skin, Sircuit Skin Savior. And happily,… View Post
Product Review – Aloe Gentle Facial Wash by The Body Shop
Okay, let me start by saying that I really wanted to like this product (Aloe Facial Wash – $16). It was recommended by Paula Begoun in Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me – 7th Ed. This is supposedly for super sensitive skin (which I have), but it made my dry skin feel even more dry and tight and… View Post
Product Review – Jane Iredale PureLash Lengthening Mascara
OK, so I admit it. I’m one of those fortunate girls who likes her lashes. They’re naturally long (don’t judge me), but not very thick and I still need a good mascara to make them pop. A coworker suggested Jane Iredale’s PureLash Lengthening Mascara. It’s an all-natural, gentle formula with no lacquers, shellac, or petroleum-based ingredients. It all sounded good,… View Post
Product Review – Olive Shower Gel by The Body Shop
The Body Shop’s Olive Shower Gel is made with olive oil from Italy. Can I get some hot, crusty Italian bread with that please? It has wonderful lather and just the right amount of scent. I am one of the few people in this world who doesn’t like those uber-scented products from those companies who shall remain nameless (you know… View Post
Product Review – Colorescience SunCanny Finishing Brush (Invisibly Matte)
As a lifetime member of the oily skin club, I’ve tried all the mattifiers and oil-blotters out there. So, when my friend introduced me to this Colorescience SunCanny Finishing Brush, I was definitely skeptical. Still, I was intrigued by the natural formula and the brush applicator. After using it for a day, I was hooked. Now, a year later, I’m… View Post
Product Review – C Today or C you in the Morning by Yes to Carrots
This cream made by Yes to Carrots is great for my dry-to combination skin. It’s thick and feels like buttah but doesn’t make my face look oily in the slightest. It’s full of antioxidants (vitamin A, vitamin C, green tea extract, pomegranate peel) and it has ginkgo biloba to increase circulation in your skin. It also has some great moisturizing… View Post
Review – Eyeshadow by The Body Shop
Impulse buy at The Body Shop! I wandered over to The Body Shop after eating lunch with a friend today and picked up two shimmery Spring eye colour shades: a dark pink – 37 (Pink Champagne) and a light green – 44 (Spring Meadow). They are both very light colors, very shimmery and perhaps not the best choices for my… View Post
Wild Rose Facial Oil by Mountain Rose Herbs
I found this amazing facial oil after reading tons of great reviews for a more expensive product that contained rosehip seed oil. I did a little research and came across this wonderful product that has not just rosehip seed oil, but also: organic calendula oil, organic jojoba oil, vitamin E oil and essential oils of organic lavender, carrot seed and helichrysum….
