Eyes on the Prize

coffeebeaneyecream

Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream $19.00 & $10.00

I’ve had this eye cream for a while, but never consistently used it. I was trying to finish up my current eye cream first. But last week, after a few really late nights, poor eating and generally putting my body through the worst of it, I really needed something to work on the under eye puffiness and bags that were beginning to develop.

My Current Shower Routine

Hair

phylia d'm

Phylia De M Shampoo and Conditioner. My review HERE.  Does it make hair grow? Is my hair stronger? I don’t know I have not used it as directed every day, but what I can say is that it smells amazing, leaves my hair soft as can be and generally leaves my hair looking rad. Also, the conditioner is probably the best I’ve ever used. Continue reading

S.W. Basics Cream $32.00 formerly Sprout

I had a lingering love for S.W. Basics of Brooklyn formerly Sprout Skincare for a long time. I wanted to try all of their skincare stuff, but was hesitant because I was using products (and still am) that are working.  Then I had a coupon, and there was a package of all three basic skincare products for sale on Abes, so then I knew I had to go for it.  I had already tried the creme at work and was totally in love.

Saving Face

Estee Lauder Day Wear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme Oil-Free Broad Spectrum SPF 25 and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex

$45.00 and $55.00

Most aspects of getting older are fun. I say that but I am also not that old. But time, stress, poor diet etc., have taken a toll on my skin. I was starting to look say, a few years older than I should. I do have good genetics on my side, but also an inflammatory condition that I think causes my skin to look less than awesome. Enter the search for the fountain of youth, appearance of youth or at least the appearance that I sleep and eat well. Continue reading

Nectar of the G-ds

Fig & Yarrow Cleansing Nectar

$28.00

I was looking at this for ages. Fig & Yarrow was kind enough to extend me a nice discount and I knew that it was time to pick up this bottle that had been starring me down from the pages of Etsy for months. Continue reading

Adapt or die

Blissoma by Irie Star Adaptive Energy Tonique

$21.99

I’ve posted before about toner, and how it may or may not be necessary  and how my favorite Laura Mercier makeup artist told me that is wrecks your skin. I have also written about how I have changed how I use toner. Instead of swiping it on with a cotton pad, I spray it on- and I have never looked back. I think its either the change in method or its this toner. Because recently I have changed a few things in my skin care regime, and my skin is looking way better. Continue reading
