A friend of mine hit me up inquiring about inexpensive eye creams. Skin care shouldn’t be compromised because of your budget. While there are tons of goodies at your local Sephora and department stores, there are gems located right under your nose at the local drug store.
Like any skin care product, Read the rest of this entry »
There isn’t a written rule for when one should start an anti-aging regimen. Due to genetics, your lifestyle, and your environment you may feel the need to start one sooner or later than folks your age. For me, I think the biggest revelation was wearing sunscreen. Sun rays are the biggest cause of collagen break down; we know it’s all down hill after that. Read the rest of this entry »
Last year the natural skin care line introduced the Black Mask, and people went nuts. Many Sephora locations stores were sold out. The mask addressed issues of dullness, it increased luminosity and remove some dead skin cells. You can read my review here.
Contrary to popular belief the mask wasn’t made to unclog pores and didn’t really address skin concerns that included congested skin and removing blackheads. But hold your horsies kids. Boscia has released Pore Purifying Black Stips. Charcoal powder draws out impurities, silica powder (actually in a few of the line’s products) controls excess oil, and witch hazel causes pores to appear smaller.
The strips are similar to the idea of Biore strips, however I do not recall Biore having charcoal. Six strips come to a pack and they are priced at $15. They are available on Boscia’s website, and will be available at Sephora by mid May.
I think I will give them a try. What say you?

I took it upon myself to figure out what you ladies could use in lieu of the Shu cleansing oil. Thank me later, k? I have been using the Shu cleanser for quite some time, and it does the job of removing make up, and all the grime I encounter throughout the day. However, as we all know, Shu has decided to only retail hair care products in the United States now (I have found the brand still available on the web).Which leaves us cult users of the shu uemura Eyelash Curler , Ultimate Expression Mascara and cleansing oil with our backs against the wall, lol.
I stumbled upon quite some time ago, Nude Skincare Cleansing Facial Oil 3.4 oz . And I must say it measures up to Shu and then some. The Nude cleanser also removes make up, and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. It is also formulated with Omega 3s and other essential fatty acids that are imperative to your skin’s health, and overall appearance.Nude Skincare also includes probiotics, yes ,you heard of it in your favorite yogurt. Well it works the same for your skin; purging toxins, and things your skin could do without. The price is also right, in my opinion too. A 3.4oz bottle is $36. I paid about $55 for my shu uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh , which was 5 oz.
Remnants of what was once ……….and the replacement
*Sidebar* If you are looking for a lash curler equivalent to the Shu curler, look no further than ,Tarte Cosmetics Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler I have used interchangeably with my Shu for the past two years, and its just as good. In fact, the pad is silicone, versus rubber. You lose less lashes when using a curler with silicone pads.
So I have been using this product for about 8 months now…I’m in love. It is an at microdermabrasion treatment.. Very simple to use and no mixing and trickery required..You apply on a clean,dry face. Rub a small amount, GENTLY all over your face. It may tingle, however for me, it is not an uncomfortable “tingle”.You then rinse clean.Your skin’s texture instantly feels smoother. Any treatments you may be using will penetrate better too! DermaDoctor can be purchased at any Sephora.
