Does this describe you? Hate the effort of putting on lotion but loathe dry skin? Easily get cold when getting out of the shower so you rush to the finish line sans adding back needed moisture?

Tips for layering products
These days there are so many products out there. Add in getting older or troubled skin and you end up having a bed time routine that rivals painting the Sistine Chapel. I believe that effective multi-taskers which give you everything you need in one or two steps is like a unicorn that will never be [...]
Product Review: Sara Happ’s The Lip Scrub
Since the first step is admitting, here goes. My name is Stacie, and I am a lip picker. Yes. My lips have been chronically dry since before I came out of the womb I suppose. Since I have sensitive skin that is prone to clogging, scrubs either weren't enough or balms too rich or just [...]
Product Review: Milani Strobelight Instant Glow Powder
While perusing the makeup aisle at Walgreens looking for some fun additions before a work holiday party, I wandered over to the Milani section which I must admit, I've never taken seriously because it's all the way in the back.

Product Review: Nars Lip Pencils
It quite possibly took me 25+ years to wear a colored lipstick out of the house that wasn't either for Halloween or some shade of nude/clear/light pink/balm.

Product Review: SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum
There are other products that will do great things for your skin. But they won't do great things like this.
Product Review: CeraVe SA Renewing Cleanser
Of all the beauty products in my arsenal, the one I am happy to pluck from the drugstore shelves and will never be convinced of a need to do otherwise is a facial cleanser. There are literally thousands out there shouting from the rooftops about this ingredient and that, but the reality is that all you [...]
Product Review: belif’s The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb
As ReadHead readers and friends will know, I am pretty upfront about the struggles of my skin both as an early teen and continues in adulthood. While I've thankfully never struggled with the extremes of the worst, I've experienced, and continue to experience, the bits of bad things that add up to being detractors of beautiful skin. [...]
ReadHead 2 Head: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic vs. Drunk Elephant C-Firma
If you've been around the cosmeceutical (that's cosmetics/skincare with a pharmaceutical mentality) world for the past few years, you've likely heard of Skinceuticals' C E Ferulic serum. Newer to the game is Drunk Elephant's C-Firma serum, which leaves a girl to ask - who does it better? A little background. Skinceuticals, a subsidiary under the [...]
