April Openeds Reviews

This month’s opened products were really about getting ready for warmer weather as Colorado continues to waffle about what season we’re in. But as I think about all of these products the big thing that stands out to me, rather than transitional, is sensorial! For almost all of these products, the texture is possibly theContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”

April Empties Review

Sometimes I worry about how much skincare I buy, then I see how much skincare I go through and I think “nope, seems fine.” Here’s what I emptied in April! Cosrx Cica Serum I won this serum (and the rest of Cosrx’s cica line) back in late November/early December. This serum isn’t as immediately calmingContinue reading “April Empties Review”

Must Love Bees: The Buzz on Bee Products

Bees are the best — for the environment and for your skin. They make honey, propolis and royal jelly, all three of which are great for any skin type (unless you’re vegan or allergic to bees, in which case skip them), and a particular secret weapon for dry, sensitive skin types that are prone toContinue reading “Must Love Bees: The Buzz on Bee Products”

March Openeds Reviews

I evidently broke all my rules about how often one should start new products this month — I usually say no more frequent than once per week. But this month saw a lot of old favorites for me (Krave Beauty, Versed, Inkey List, Good Skin Days) and my skin has been really thirsty and moreContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”

March Empties Review

Another month down, another bin full of empties. I don’t know how I keep ending up with so many — I think this month is an official record. 17 empties in total? Granted, two are body skincare and five were minis and one was also in use by my husband but now I’m just rationalizing.Continue reading “March Empties Review”

March Mask Madness

This winter I’ve gotten really into masking. Like, really really. I did two wash-off masks and one sheet mask on Friday night. It’s been a nice way to fill dark evenings and cold weekend days. I think of wash-off masks in three categories: clay/charcoal/drying masks. These were really the only type available when I wasContinue reading “March Mask Madness”

February Openeds Review

February brought new products focused on soothing winter skin. Colorado doesn’t do dry skin any favors in the best of times, and even a winter spent indoors can do numbers on the skin. So I searched my stash for things that could help me get by, plus add a little fun to boot. Skinfood RoyalContinue reading “February Openeds Review”

February Empties Review

February might be the shortest month, but you wouldn’t know it to look at my empties. Everything is listed in the order I finished it, more or less. Buckle in!

Hot Skincare Tips for Cold Weather

The temperatures in Colorado right now are downright upsetting — highs in the teens, low in the negatives (in Fahrenheit, of course). While I work from home and have mostly been blessed with not going outside, winter still takes its toll. Knowing that many folks are currently facing the same issues, I wanted to shareContinue reading “Hot Skincare Tips for Cold Weather”

January Openeds Review

This month should have been a pretty wild one for opening products, since Santa brought so many goodies. Instead, it seemed like half of what I opened had been on hand for a while, another was a splurge I made in November that just arrived, and only ONE THING came from Santa. In poor Santa’sContinue reading “January Openeds Review”
