Woman applying perfume

One of my distinct memories from the seventh-grade dances in middle school was the overwhelming cologne from the boys.  As adults, we are still not immune.  We have all gotten in the elevator with someone who was way too generous with the spritzer that morning.  Not only is it annoying to those around that person, […]

Even if we use the best brands available, there is still always the possibility of eyeshadow flakes or mascara fall-out that lands on our cheeks after we’ve carefully blended out all of our foundation, concealer, and blush.  Most of us rarely have the time to start over, but we certainly do not want to walk […]

So your lips are exfoliated, moisturized, plumped, and primed — it is time for color! Whether you prefer a bright red stain or a nude pink gloss, this is the fun part. In a recent article I read, the author was purporting to need One Lipstick. Personally, that sounds lovely in theory but I am […]

We have now scrubbed and moisturized, but what if we want to take our lip care to the next level? In addition to lip scrubs and lip balms, we can also treat our lips to plumpers and masks and oils and serums and primers. Until recently, I did not even know some of these products […]

Pucker Up, A Balmy Existence

Woman applying lip balm

I will start by saying that I love lip balms! Not only do I have them everywhere I can stash them, I apply them religiously and constantly shop for new formulas. I usually prefer sticks or wand applicators over pots. It can sometimes be messy to apply a lip balm from a little pot, and […]
