The skincare for men routine was inspired by Boots No 7 for Men. We received samples for editorial purposes and as always, all opinions are our own. A lot of men tend to be soap and water type of guys. They’re not exactly sure what else they need, as that’s always seemed to work for them. Well, it’s time for those fellas to admit that they’re no longer young boys that have been playing ...
Yves Rocher Men Fresh Overview
Yves Rocher Men Fresh was provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. Why is it that ladies seem to have a ridiculously involved skin care regimen, while the men in our lives get away with washing their hair and shaving? What’s up with that? Yves Rocher wants to help the guys out. To that extent, they’ve created the Yves Rocher Men Fresh line of skin care and grooming ...
CVS Beauty Products vs Their Name Brand Counterparts
We received several CVS beauty products to test out. All opinions are our own. I kind of love beauty products. Well, I’ll admit it, there’s no kind of about it. I love beauty products. High end vs Department Store vs Drug Store vs Store Brand. How do you decide? CVS Pharmacy has released their own version of select top sellers from their stores. The good folks at CVS Pharmacy stores ...
Lifeline Eye Firming Complex Review
I’m pretty sure I’ve shared my lack of devotion to a skin care routine in my younger years. I am SO BAD at removing my makeup, using moisturizer, and serums. You want me to add an eye cream to my routine now? Pffttt…yeah right. Good luck with that. ...
Cocoon Apothecary for Eco Luxe Skincare
I was first introduced to Cocoon Apothecary a few years ago. It seemed that their fabulous products were landing in my hands at every corner. A demo at an event. A sample in a subscription box. I think it was fate! Cocoon Apothecary calls themselves an Eco Luxe skincare brand, and I have to agree! The products are made from the most natural ingredients available, ...
Get Healthy Skin with Sebamed
I’m a somewhat science-y person, although it normally leans more towards physical sciences rather than biological. Regardless, I love learning little trivia things. Did you know that your skin has a natural pH balance of 5.5. Yep, your skin should be slightly acidic. Who knew? Not me, that’s for sure. Lucky for us, the folks at Sebamed knew this. Not only ...
May 2013 Birchbox Overview
May 2013 Birchbox was purchased by me. I have no special affiliation with Birchbox. May’s Birchbox theme was “Beauty Diaries.” I guess it was supposed to be along the lines of sharing secrets and great products you love, or something, but it fell short. Really short. Dare I say, I seriously considered cancelling after receiving May’s box. And yeah, I know it’s June, and most people ...
Testing Natural Deodorant with Weleda
In the past year, I have made the switch from commercial deodorants to using a natural deodorant. Why? I have a secret to tell you. At some point in the past year, I have developed an allergy to commercial deodorants. Because we’re friends, I’ll spare you all the gory details. Suffice it to say, it was rather unpleasant. I had been a solid deodorant ...
