A new release for the Sephora kids
If you remember the hysteria of the Sephora 12 year-olds, you will recall how the focus was on how they were using products like Drunk Elephant. Beyond the ways they tore up the stores, the real fear was that all of those actives were way too much for their young skin. So now, take the…

Is La Mer’s new night cream worth it?
When La Mer came out with a night cream, my inner skincare geek got excited. It’s now over a year since the release and I’m only just now giving it a go. I had the chance to get in store to get a sample that lasted me about three days. Here is my first impression…

First impressions of a Guerlain fragrance standout
I sprayed on Spiriteuse Double Vanille from Guerlain. I was lucky to get a sample of this superluxe fragrance from the brand. After I saw how quickly an influencer was going through her bottle, I assumed I would fall in love with it. Hmmmmm… that does not seem to be the case. For me, this…
