La Retro Whipped Cream from Drunk Elephant. No comment
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream $60 A lightweight, whipped, moisturizer I guess I’ll keep this short. Reminder, I have dry skin. The Lala Retro Whipped Cream didn’t do anything special for me. It seems like a dry moisturizer. What I mean about that is there is no dew. You’re not ashy, but there is…

Three scents from Floris London
Floris London is a storied UK fragrance house that I don’t know much about. Honestly, I was only exposed to it because I happened to tell a man he smelled amazing. And then he happened to have samples in his pocket. So here we are. (Sidebar: If you think someone is worthy of praise, give…

Don’t wait until things get dark to bring in the light
I sat down at the table and ordered a plate of Portabello mushroom ravioli. I came to the restaurant after having had a rough few days, frankly feeling sorry for myself. When I feel low, when my mind is in particularly dark spaces, I take the time to buy myself something. That day, that thing…

Why you have to try 111Skin sheet masks
Fresh out the gate here: 111Skin now my most favorite sheet mask brand for the simple fact that the mask itself adhered to my face. You might be thinking, “Uh yeah, that’s what they do.” Lies, that is not what face masks do. I am very used to having to go lie down somewhere to…

Ebene Fume: First impressions of this Tom Ford masterpiece
If you were to press me for a description when I first smelled Ébène Fumé, I would have said, “It smells like By the Fireplace but after it took a serious meditation retreat.” It has the smokiness, but it also has a calming woody note. I find it amazing, with my subpar sense of smell,…
