How is it April damn near gone? What happened to March? I’m not complaining too much because I am so ready for warm weather! And with warm weather, comes new releases. Here’s what’s caught my eye in beauty:

Spring is here and with spring comes the sun. I love the sun, but walking around outside without sun protection is a recipe for a dark ass forehead. When I used to go to yoga regularly, I was always caught in the sun trap; that feeling that the sun seemed to only want to love on my forehead. Blessed are…

My love for lactic acid doesn’t appear to be going anywhere Here are some thoughts on the Ren Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic I have been testing. My skin type I have oily skin, with a concern focused on acne scarring. I have dark marks on my cheeks and chin and exfoliate regularly, chemically and physically to combat that.…

It’s almost that time of year again, where Sephora has its spring Beauty Insider sale. I must say, 15% off isn’t really that much, but somehow I am always lured in by this discount. For Rouge, the sale starts Friday, April 13th (Friday the 13th!) and that’s probably when I’ll be doing my hauling. It goes until April 16th and…

I’d been dying to try that Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant and I finally went for it when I saw there was a set for the same price as the deodorant ($25.00). Now, I had heard great things about the deodorant previously from reliable sources, so I had high hopes. There was just one problem. My skin type I suppose…

The two months I used the Alpha H Liquid Gold Rose Toner, I did not have a hormonal acneic breakout. Shall I repeat that?

I’ve had the Mally Beauty Face Defender as a staple in my stash for years. I was first introduced to it by the lovely Angela from Beautyandthecat, who thought it might help with my very oily skin. It’s a beauty balm mostly made up of silicones that I apply over my makeup. It definitely clears up my oil outbreaks without…

Pacifica is a brand I was unfamiliar with until their Milk to Foam Face Wash strutted its way into my life. I was instantly curious about the milk to foam claim and wondered if that was truly a thing. I can report that, yes, it is truly a thing and it gives me so much pleasure to use, I’ll be…

In the meantime, here are some of the products I found myself continuously reaching for the most last month. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette I’ve not given the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette…

Over the holiday season, I bought a lot of sets and minis because its a great opportunity to try out things you may not be fully committed to. One of those was the Clinique Dewy You Set (now on sale for $13.50) which included the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, and the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour…

I love the Sephora Collection and I love roses so when I saw the $8.00 Sephora Rose Moisturizing Cream, I was skeptical, but excited to try it.

If micellar cleansing water turned you off to beauty water, let me just try and change your mind here. First of all, this is not a micellar cleansing water. In fact, it’s beauty water and I have never experienced anything like it. It took me some time to even look at the Son & Park Beauty Water the right way…

I thought it was about time I did an update on my skin and talk about one of my acid-heavy skin care routines, since I haven’t done one in a while. I’m a huge fan of acids; I just can’t get enough of them. My skin responds to them positively, especially glycolic acid and lactic acid in a mixture. Here…

So the Julep Complexion Cushion 5-in-1 Skin Perfector ($30.00) was a surprise. I didn’t even know Julep made complexion products until I came across this one. As someone that usually wears high coverage foundation – be that medium- or full-coverage – I had pretty low expectations and was pleasantly surprised that it performed as nicely as it did. I went with…

I love a good beauty set. Even more, I love a good skincare set because not only do you get to try a bunch of different things at once, you get to take them with you if you’re traveling. Sometimes, there isn’t enough product in skincare sets to form an opinion on the product, but I’d say the Biossance Weightless…

I am a fan of two-step masks. I am also a fan of Papa Recipe. So naturally when I saw the Papa Recipe 2 Step Cleaning Solution Mask, I had to give it a try. The mask includes a huge Q-Tip, the All Kill Peeling Bong, soaked in its goodness, and the sheet mask to use after.

Man. I used to hate going into rack stores (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Ross). I mean, I still do (I like order!), but a lot of them have stepped their game up when it comes to discounted beauty products. We are seeing brands like Mac, Kat Von D, and Bobbi Brown in rack stores now. I’ve even seen tempting Kbeauty products…

I had my eye on the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Glow Moisturizer for some time. I’m not sure why, but anytime I see a heap of people come out saying something is great, I become very, very skeptical. That happened with this moisturizer courtesy of Influenster, by the way. I didn’t get mine from there, I bought it from Nordstrom. It…

I have a thing for cleansers. It’s senseless, really, because it’s not necessarily based on joy, but for some reason, cleansers are my thing. Can you ever have too many? The answer to that question is ABSOLUTELY YES. To keep from becoming that girl, I saw this little Clinique Double Cleansing Detox Set and thought it was perfect for me…
