Here’s the product description on the Korres website: A plumping moisturizer that targets visible signs of aging, offering 48-hour hydration, enhanced skin immunity, …
PR Sample, Affiliate Links I finally got back into Influenster’s good graces, because I received one of their coveted VoxBoxs! And it was a very good one: Dior Cica Recover & Repair Balm.

Even though we have had a gift of unseasonably warm weather over the past week, it still gets cold at night, and I have the heat on. Inside my house, the air is drier, and my dry skin is getting drier still. PR Sample, Affiliate Links I’ve been switching up my skincare routine, and I …
Over the years, Ipsy has introduced me to some terrific products that have become part of my regular routine. Last month, I received another new-to-me skincare brand that, when I first saw it in my Ipsy bag, was kind of a turn-off. Its name was Mudmasky. Kind of a dumb name, I thought. Turns out …
A month ago, I wrote about the Derma E Vitamin C collection’s Concentrated Serum and Cleansing Paste (here). Since then, I’ve been using the third product in the trio, Derma E Vitamin C Bright Eyes Hydrogel Patches. Over the years, I have had other eye gel patches, but I have never really gotten into them …
As we spend more time at home, some of us (I’m talking about myself here) are spending more time on our computers and phones. And we are exposing ourselves to more blue light from our screens. Back in October, I wrote about City Beauty Blue Light Defense (reviewed here), a moisturizing gel to screen out …
Being a beauty blogger has given me the opportunity to try out a lot of indie beauty brands that I probably wouldn’t have bought before I became a blogger. Although I was adventurous when it came to trying foreign brands especially when traveling abroad, at home I was risk averse. I mostly stuck with well-known …
Moisturizer is the most important skincare product IMHO. I remember asking Adeline James, a girl on my floor in my dorm freshman year, what a bottle of intriguing pink lotion on her dresser was. She told me it was facial moisturizer, and it was a must. Before that, I had no clue. Since then, I’ve …
Every now and then, I luck out and get chosen for a really good campaign from Influenster, the website that choosers influencers to test products from their clients.

Recently, I got to try new Face Glow Tinted Primer/Moisturizer/Illuminator from indie, natural, clean beauty face and body skincare brand, Graydon Skincare. About Graydon Let me give you a …
It’s so interesting to learn the backstory of so many of the independent skincare brands that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. Kasey D’Amato, a physician’s assistant in Dermatology in LA for more than 15 years, was skeptical about the claims she heard from a lot of skincare products. As she got older …
As you know, I am a great fan of bath and body products. I have two artisan-made, natural and organic, indie brands that are particular favorites: Humboldt Soap Company Nature Island Botanicals. Over time, I feel like Daphne from NIB who I’ve known for more than a decade and Arice from HSC who I’ve known …
If this giveaway sounds familiar, it’s because it is! Back in May, I hosted a giveaway with Derma E Purifying Detox Scrub and Charcoal Mask, and it was such a hit, why not do it again? Derma E generously sent me another Detox Scrub and 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask, and I wanted to share the goodies …
About a month or so ago, I wrote about one of my favorite natural facial moisturizers of the year, Cremeplexion Face Cream from Humboldt Soap Company.
