Autumn has come late to northern Colorado this year, but it’s finally here. September oversaw the transition, with highs still in the 90s many days but lows getting into the 40s. (Yes, 50 F degree temperature swings are not unheard of here, though 30 F degree ones are more common). Much of what I openedContinue reading “September Openeds Reviews”

September Empties Reviews
Ah September. I always think of it as the beginning of autumn, but this year it was really more the end of summer — we routinely had 90 degree days, and I had a tropical getaway to Belize for 9 days over the week of my fourth wedding anniversary (so if you were wondering whyContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”
May Empties Review
It’s nearly summer! And I’m finishing up another batch of products just in time. Some of these will be familiar to frequent readers, as there are three recurring favorites in here, but there are also some new favorites to be found — I think this is the most 10/10 I’ve done in a batch ofContinue reading “May Empties Review”

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”
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”

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”
October Empties Review
Out with the old! Took me a while to get around to photographing them, but here are October’s empties. For reference, my skin type is normal-dry and my concerns are primarily around skin brightening and anti-aging.
