The Secret to Brightening Skin this Winter

crystal — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 13:00:21 +0000

Maybe it’s the lack of Vitamin D, but isn’t winter skin the worst? The dryness really kills any glow factor, even if you are managing to eat healthy and get plenty of rest. We all know that exfoliation (AKA skin cell turnover) is the answer to brightening skin, but the real secret is targeted exfoliation.… Continue reading The Secret to Brightening Skin this Winter

Beauty Holiday Gift Guide

It’s the season for holiday gift guides, which happen to be one of my favorite kind of articles to read. I used to source my inspiration for gift ideas from magazines, but seeing gift guides on blogs have the added benefit of being clickable so it’s easy to look into a product more closely and… Continue reading Beauty Holiday Gift Guide

New Scented Bodycare Favorites

crystal — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 13:00:38 +0000

One thing I sometimes miss (that my hair doesn’t necessarily miss) is using heavily fruit-scented shampoos. When I was a kid, the stronger the artificial fruit scent, the better. But now, picking fragrances in general is an endeavor in subtlety or simplicity. Although my perfume tastes may vary, I gravitate towards single-noted or pure, distilled… Continue reading New Scented Bodycare Favorites

How to Get the Most Out of a Hydrating Serum

crystal — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 13:00:16 +0000

Previously, I wrote about some of my favorite serums for specific skincare concerns that come from everyday life scenarios (see article here). However, addressing skincare concerns seasonally is also a good way to approach the serum game. For Winter, you’ll want a hydrating serum. But you can also supplement that baseline hydration. Today, I’ll be… Continue reading How to Get the Most Out of a Hydrating Serum

How to Give Your Skin Some TLC for Fall with Clarisonic Mia 1

crystal — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 12:00:20 +0000

Being in New England, my skin starts to freak out a little once chilly weather sets in. I don’t break out from the seasonal shift, but my skin gets a little rough and dry, which doesn’t feel good when the mornings are 35 degrees. For these situations, it may seem intuitive to just slather on… Continue reading How to Give Your Skin Some TLC for Fall with Clarisonic Mia 1

3 Serums for Everyday Scenarios

crystal — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 12:00:28 +0000

“Serum” is one of those skincare terms that is so ubiquitous in product labeling that it almost doesn’t mean anything. We all know that we’re supposed to be using one, but it can be confusing to pick one to address our immediate skin concerns. I like to think of serums as the most specific kind… Continue reading 3 Serums for Everyday Scenarios

Modern Fall Colors from JINsoon Art Nouveau

crystal — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:00:15 +0000

I like to get gel nails a few times a year. They look amazing and help my nails grow longer, but it’s hard to commit to wearing one color for a month especially in the Fall. Fall collections are my favorite in fashion and beauty because of the richer colors, textures and finishes. The JINsoon Art… Continue reading Modern Fall Colors from JINsoon Art Nouveau

Playing with Kosas Weightless Lip Color for Fall

crystal — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 12:00:49 +0000

Thanks to Kylie Jenner, the trendiest lip products have been lip pencils and powdery matte colors. I’m happy that we are nixing sticky lip glosses and have worn my favorite MAC lip liner down to a stub to celebrate. Nowadays it takes something really special for me to want a traditional lipstick, but I think… Continue reading Playing with Kosas Weightless Lip Color for Fall

The Beauty Oils You Need Right Now

crystal — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 12:00:43 +0000

With my combination-oily skin type, venturing into the realm of beauty oils was a totally unexpected move. But since every trusted resource I turned to reassured me that I too, with my mid-day shine, could reap the benefits of facial oils, I had to give them a try. This was two years ago, and since… Continue reading The Beauty Oils You Need Right Now

Hanging onto Summer with Kopari Coconut Skincare

crystal — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 12:00:24 +0000

I went apple picking a few weeks ago, and it really put me in the Fall spirit. Or maybe it was the smell of fresh-baked apple crisp wafting throughout our apartment afterwards. Either way, I was feeling ready for Fall when I first tried out the Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil and Kopari Coconut Rose Toner. Well immediately upon… Continue reading Hanging onto Summer with Kopari Coconut Skincare
