I’ve heard so much about natural beauty products this past year. If you’re like me, maybe you’ve wanted to start using more natural products, but just haven’t known where to start. Or maybe changing all of your beauty products right now just isn’t in the budget. To keep ...
Sorry, that cute little song that teaches children to clean up their stuff was going through my head as I was trying to come up with a title. This post is not beauty related, but I just had to share my new favorite cleaning tool...
A few months ago, I shared with you the greatest invention to hit my nails since… well, forever. Since then, I have added one more item to my perfect manicure repertoire. In addition to a really awesome topcoat, I have a new must-have: cuticle oil. ...
We hope your day is one making colorful memories full of laughter and lots of love. Merry Christmas to you!
Two years ago I wrote a post for my humble little blog called, “What to Wear on an Airplane.” While the answer seems simple enough (hello, how about clothes?), that post continues to be one of the top searches that brings people to my blog. Ap...
One of the perks of writing for my own women’s blog and several others is I get to try a lot of health and beauty products for free. Though I appreciate this job, I’ve noticed one downfall of subjecting my face to various formulas: My skin hates it! Th...
My cousin Angie (an AVON rep) saw my post here on Chic Critique a few months back about the MAC Paint Pot and emailed me about trying the ANEW Eye Lifting Serum Shadow. Ok, so what does AVON claim this will do...
I’m not all that crafty. I love small projects. I like simple and quick. I get too impatient for projects that are too involved. That’s why I was just thrilled when Domino® / C&H® Sugar contacted me about making something from the homemade gift section of their site. I ha...
I am perpetually bemoaning the fate of being cursed with flat, limp hair. Despite trying every product under the sun, my hair suffers the same fate: limp, blah, boring. I turned to my trusty BFF Twitter for help, and the result was unanimous: hot rollers. Been there, done that, got the dang t-shirt...
I’ve been trying to use some more organic and natural products for my skin. While I try to mostly eat this way, I find it difficult to find all-natural products that I like for the outside of my body that are actually affordable. ...
Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? Yeah. Neither have I. Although, I do have a good chunk of it done, there’s always a few people on my list that fall into the “Impossible to Buy For” category. I’m sure you have a few of those too. So, he...
Everyone has an LBD (Little Black Dress). And if you don’t, you should. (Get thee to a store ASAP and buy one! I’ll be here when you get back. Seriously.) The key to expanding your wardrobe sometimes is to just think outside the box. Wo...
I was contacted by freshMinerals, a mineral makeup line that offers great products at a a great price. I’ve been using mineral foundation for awhile now, but I’ve never used any mineral makeup beyond that.They sent me the SlyEye Collection and a Luxury lipstick to try out. W...
Got curls? I do.A head full of ‘em. Curls thatdemand a good product, to hold without turning into a mop full of frizz. I’ve tried gels, mousse, cremes and sprays. My product of choice is hair gel. I’...
Let me introduce you to Elizabeth Grant products. A few months ago I was sent some products from Elizabeth Grant to try on my skin and write a review about the results. Their marketing rep asked me questions about my type of skin and what I wanted to accomplish with my skincare...
