I think I’ve mentioned before how much I hate my thin lips. My husband jokes that my top lip disappears when I smile. Of course, he’s in love with Angelina, so how am I to compete. However, the LipTox Sheer Lip Plumper definitely gives me a fighting chance. My favorite is the Princess shade (a light sparkly brown/mauve), which doesn’t… View Post
Spa of the Day – Salon Organic
When my good friends and fellow beauty product lovers at My Beauty Bunny asked me to review a Dr. Hauschka facial at a new salon/spa in my area I thought about it for approximately 0.25 seconds and said, YES! Well, I had no idea what a treat it would be. When I stepped into Salon Organic in Montclair, NJ for… View Post
Simply Organic Moisture Rich Shampoo & Conditioner – Product Review
I’ve been coloring my hair for 16 years and I’ve done lots of damage. I have tried practically every salon and over-the-counter shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair. But natural and organic lines are still new to me. I have to admit, it took me a long time to try them because I didn’t really believe they would be good… View Post
Perfect Skin for the Summer? Colorescience Line Tamer Review
After watching the so-called celebs like Heidi and Spencer Pratt on “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” this week, I couldn’t help but notice how terrible all of them look in the Costa Rica humidity, especially how large their pores look when they’re glistening with sweat.

I tried Chiffon, a sparkly sand color, and Sugar Cookie, a golden pink sparkly color. These glosses are actually pigmented so highly that you can wear them… View Post
Arbonne FC5 Facial Cleanser Review
Called a cleanser and toner, this gel face wash uses strawberry cells for removing impurities without stripping the skin. Mallow, melissa, watercress, and ivy are combined to control oil production and leave the skin with a soft matte finish. Witch hazel, lemon verbena, and rosemary tone and tighten the skin, removing excess oil and shrinking pores. So, does it really… View Post
Cruelty Free Beauty Products – Summer Sweeties!
I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been craving sweets. That might sound completely normal to some of you, but I’m a french fry/pizza/sushi craver – not a cinnamon roll/pie/ice cream craver. When I was a kid, I’d go to McDonald’s with friends for ice cream, and I’d always order french fries. I know – weird. Anyway, I’ve been trying… View Post
Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Powder Review
My must-have for summer shine? Jane Iredale PurePressed Powder. This lightweight mineral makeup comes in a convenient refillable compact and gives me the perfectly matte skin I want, without looking cakey or heavy. From my previous posts, you can probably tell I’m a Jane Iredale fan. It’s true. It’s a great mineral makeup line. Why? Not only does it get… View Post
