Skin Hour’s Deep Cleansing Oil

I’m a sucker for new *beauty* things, in some strange way. Especially *natural* made stuff. So when Skin Hour launched their line of beauty products, and were going to give away freebies, I quickly sent in my request for some!
I asked for a Mattifying Day Cream and a Firming and Clarifying Toner.
They [...]

Makeup Haul!!

Oh happy days!
I have accumulated a bit of Ellana Minerals in the past couple of months.
I have been very happy with the coverage of their foundation and mineral veil. More than that, Coney Avellana, owner, has been very nice and accommodating (I mean, I know she has to, but she just truly is! [...]

Leyende

When the G-Man mentioned that they’d begun to sell Leyende on Kikay Exchange, I said, nah…too expensive. Can’t afford it.
That was until I got on to Multiply. And I read how yummy the products smelled like and how this one particular item worked so well with oily skin. (One of my major [...]

Advocacy

Lookee here—my friend D, who makes soaps by hand, is making LATCH one of her beneficiaries!!
I bought a couple of bars from her—Mint Fantasia and Cinnamon Spice—a few months back. I use the mint bar for showers while the cinnamon spice to wash my face. Both bars are terrific! I love the [...]

Finally, a haircut!

Anyone who knows me knows that I get nervous when I go to get my hair styled (or cut for that matter).

I’ve “graduated” from Pierre’s (in the super duper [...]

It was a great excuse to go “shopping” for the weekend. (And you’d think there was no shopping place in Highlands, think again!)
Of course, I [...]

Eyes!

Took P and K to P’s friend’s house this afternoon for a play date. P has been friends with MG for more than a year now. They were classmates at preschool. I guess they grew close because his mom, JG, and I hung around a lot.
Anyway, when JG saw me this [...]

Hi, I’m J, and I’m an addict.
Okay, I’m not denying it…I need help! Does anyone know any member of M.A. (Makeup Anonymous)?? Hahahahaha!

Just wanted to share with you my kit!!
This is the entire shebang. The only thing I think I don’t really have is lipstick, because with mineral makeup, all I have [...]

Makeup Monster

In the past two weeks or so I haven’t blogged, I got to know about this brand of makeup called Bare Escentuals.
I just happened to learn about it on one of the threads in my egroup. In fact, at first, I hardly noticed it. Me, makeup? Bah! But strangely, I read [...]
