With an order from Sephora, I chose this sample kit: Ole Henriksen : 3 Little Wonders. I’m not very familiar with Ole Henriksen and was excited to get to try three of their products at once – especially the Invigorating Night Gel…(click post title for more detail)

I love that I’ve been using my first bottle of this cleanser for MONTHS and it’s still at least 1/4 full. Those two little pumps really are all you need. Given that, the $18 price tag is a downright steal!…(click post title for more detail)

I only got a tiny sample kit of NUDE Skincare‘s products and I’m already kinda in love. I’m ready to settle down and make 10,000 babies with these products (and I’ve only used 4 tiny little packets!)… (click post title for more detail)

A while back, I ordered from Sephora online and was given an option to order this Amore Pacific sample of Treatment Enzyme Peel for $5. Being the exfoliant lover I am, of course I clicked “add to bag.” And I’m very glad I did… (click post title for more details)

I’m excited to have another LOVE IT night cream in my arsenal. I think this product is especially good for normal, dry and combination skin and, like I mentioned above, can even be used on some oily skin types. It feels fresh, smells great and can help your skin maintain its youthful glow longer…(click post title for more details)

That’s not to say that it’s just expensive water – the base ingredient is Hyaluronic Acid, which holds 1,000 times it’s own weight in water and is naturally occurring in our skin and other areas of the body…(click post title for more details)

So far, I’ve been posting about individual products that I’ve wanted to remember. This time, I’m going to give you a little list based on the below photo… (click post title for more details)

Back when I was a kid, my mom always bought us Nature’s Gate shampoo and conditioner from the health food store. That brown pudding-like conditioner that made my cat knead my scalp like it was catnip is one of my most confused childhood memories… (click post title for more details)

I’ve been curious about Juice Beauty for some time now. They are local to me, use a blend of fruit juice as the liquid component of all of their products and the names and descriptions of their products are really intriguing to me. Times being what they are, I’ve not ventured very far into their product list.
Then I found Juice Organics Brightening Cleanser at Target and I was so excited… (click post title for more details)
