Imagine. You just got settled in for your dream Spanish vacation. You are excited to explore the historic streets of Barcelona. Of all the things that could happen during your trip, you never imagined that being the target of protests would be one of them. Recently, Barcelona locals, and those in other Spanish cities, have…

How I fared with this AHA product from Thrive Causmetics
After applying playing with some makeup for the day, I could notice some flaky texture showing through. It was definitely time to exfoliate. The perfect time to try out the Overnight Sensation Gentle Retexurizing Solution from Thrive Causmetics I immediately planned to use the AHA serum that night.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is a summertime classic
I needed a fragrance that whispered, “Summer is finally here.” In walks Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue for women. A soft citrusy fragrance for those who are fragrance shy.

What should we hope to see from Max Mara fragrances?
I have seen multiple news sources covering the story that Shiseido has been granted the license to product Max Mara fragrances. My thought was, “Wait, they make fragrance?” The brand known for the Teddy coat and luxury outerwear generally, they make fragrances? As of now there is no fragrance on their website.

Thoughts on the Thrive Causmetics cleanser
I have been washing my face with Bright Balance Hydrating Gel Cleanser from Thrive Causmetics for a few weeks now. I have come to a pretty clear assessment of how I feel about it. And that clear assessment, for me and my face, is that it is just okay. One pro off the top is…

John Varvatos Eau de Toilette may not be my type
I decided to test John Varvatos Eau de Toilette out of a desire to get to know more fragrances in the masculine category. This is one of those regret on first spray fragrances. For me, that means that the smell is quite powerful, perhaps too powerful. I wasn’t able to distinguish the notes when it…
