I have been using and raving about Bliss products for over a decade: they smell and feel invigoratingly amazing, the texture feels rich, smooth, or creamy, and the quality is great. I was first introduced to the brand at a hotel (W?) in New York, and after getting a sample of the lemon sage body…

H2-Oh-No: Hard Water Irritates Skin!
Can water irritate your skin if it’s soft or hard, or due to the chemicals infused within it? Yes! According to an article on Hard Water Dermatitis posted on DermaHarmony.com, “Hard water is a common culprit in the fight against dry skin,” and defines hard water as “highly alkaline.” I will be going into PH…
Masking My Beauty: Clientele Facial Masque
Because steaming my face caused me to break out, I decided to try this Clientele Facial Mask, which uses English China White Clay- a delicate type of Kaolin clay that’s great for normal or dry skin-types because it does not draw oil or moisture from the skin like other types of clay. I am used…
Blackheads: Pore Strips Vs. Pore Tool

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiVCUwgU_Rw&w=560&h=315] View the above video to see the process & results. I did find that using the Mac Foundation brush caused it to go on cakie, the duo fiber E.L.F. Small Stipple brush applied it much more evenly, and using the fingers to apply gave the most flawless application. The difference was drastic- the left…
Bi-Coastal Skincare Regimine
I previously posted on my seasonal skincare and makeup switch ups, but can being on one coast or another affect your skin differently? Yes!
