While mindlessly scrolling on my phone waiting for my coffee to kick in, I did a dead stop on an article talking about the next best thing when it comes to ingredients in moisturizers: polyglutamic acid. The dryness in my skin has been top of mind since I just did a shellacking with Dr. Schrammek's [...]
As you might have read from my review on Revlon's Color Corrextion foundation, the money you drop doesn't always equate to what works or what is best for your skin. There are some wonderfully easy and cheap hacks that I use on the regular to customize my skincare and make my existing stash as multi-purpose [...]
Eat your skincare? No I don't mean to ingest those lovely bottles of concoctions formulated for topical use like a lemon drop shooter. Definitely DO NOT eat those. I repeat. I am not advocating to eat your topical skincare. For a whole host of reasons that's a bad idea, namely they could be toxic. That [...]
For the last 10ish years I've embraced the "no makeup, no makeup" look and rarely wear makeup of any kind unless I need to look un-dead at work or I have a night out that I want to look snazzy for. Foundation, in particular, is one I try to go without because I seem to [...]

You try every drying agent under the sun, you pick at them, [...]

I say augmentation because addressing concerns about lips can be a multi-faceted approach. It could include addressing pigmentation with cosmetic tattooing, relaxing an inward roll and correcting a gummy smile with Botox, balancing symmetry, smoothing age/smoker lines, [...]
Aside from a severe dermatological diagnosis (which should be treated by a doctor), the most challenging skin type to treat in my opinion is sensitive skin. It is a dance of constant fluidity that requires a bit of taking an aggressive lead, and falling back to see where it takes you. The first step to [...]
When you hear the words neurotoxin in the medical or cosmetic field, it is referring to botulinum toxin A commonly known as Botox. Botox itself is a brand name from the company Allergan who did a marvelous job of bringing this aesthetic procedure to the masses with effective campaigns (thus making it a household name [...]
If there is a product that I struggle to accept (and it very much struggles to accept me), it is a concealer.
