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

Sprout Lip Balm in Cinnamon

$5.00

More info HERE

Any reader of this blog knows how much I love lip balm. I have not counted my stash of lip products recently, that could be another post, but I know that its at least 100. Nevertheless, when it comes to most lip balms I have not that much to say, they are balms, they are okay. But sometimes I come across a balm that I cannot stop applying. Sprout lip balm did not start out that way. Continue reading

Prime Suspect

Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Pore Minimizing Skin Perfecting Primer

$33.00

Primer is one of those things, that you don’t really think you need. I mean its an extra step in the whole process, but what it promises might be worth that extra 15 seconds. This is the only primer I have found that does not have dimethicone in it, a chemical that aggravates my acne prone skin almost immediately. Continue reading

What the F is Lip Tar?

I had seen this stuff and written it off as super cheap and not worth my time.

Then, after some happenstance. I changed my tune. All of a sudden I was on Sephora online and OCC’s website trying to pick a color. And then I came across this set. And bam, decision made, I had a coupon for Sephora and free shipping etc. so I think each Lip Tar worked out to be something like 8 bucks a tube. Totally worth it. Continue reading

I love lip products. Clearly. So when a lip product comes out that promises a hint of color that says my lips just look like this normally, not overdone but balanced perfectly between subtle and obvious, I am hooked. Continue reading
