Am I too late in the Christmas season to talk about products I don’t want? Yes? Oh well, you’re getting another anti-haul anyway. I know that I talked about some inexpensive products in my Ulta anti-haul, but there’s more drugstore stuff that’s been released that I feel personally victimized by. Mostly because they’re pointless, gimmicky…
If you’re anything like me and mildly obsessed with Asian beauty products, you’re likely also always concerned about what’s actually in the stuff you’re slathering all over your face. Enter Allure to confirm our worst fears: apparently dangerous levels of mercury have been found in skincare products being sold on Amazon and eBay. Lovely. According…
I’ve been home from my most recent round of travels for a few days and I’m already packing to leave town again. This time I’m going home for the holidays; Christmas is something I look forward to all year, but Dan has to come back to Albany before the actual holiday and that sucks. Anyway,…
I mentioned last month that I was trying a natural deodorant, and despite my struggles, I’m still on the natural train. At this point, I’ve tried several different brands and formulas, and I think I’ve learned some things that may (or may not, who knows?) be helpful to you, my internet friends. I’ve already talked…

Wow, I can’t believe I’m writing an actual review. It’s been a minute. So, I’ve been using this moisturizer for a few weeks, and I have some thoughts. First and foremost is the thought that I often have when using Asian beauty products: how in the hell do companies there make such good products so…
If you haven’t heard by now, Victoria’s Secret sucks. More specifically, Victoria’s Secret Chief Marketing Officer, Ed Razek, sucks. According to a new interview in Vogue, the CMO has a very specific vision for the annual fashion show, and that vision doesn’t include plus size or trans models. Their show is a “fantasy”, they have…

What in the holy hell is happening with Deciem’s founder? Let me back up: Deciem is the parent company of The Ordinary, the company that’s proven that decent skincare doesn’t need to cost an arm, a leg and our first born. Their most notable release was their foundation almost two years ago; with two coverage…
I has a sad. I don’t typically talk about my empties (or at least I haven’t in the past nine months), but I feel like we need to discuss this one: my Tarte Frxxxtion Stick 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser. I mentioned this product the other day in my Awake Beauty post. I haven’t seen anyone else…

Tarte has had a rough few months. Between the Shape Tape shade debacle, the boring releases and the April Fool’s joke gone wrong, they’re struggling when it comes to PR. I generally like their products, but they’ve made some missteps. Now they’re re-releasing their “sister brand”, Awake Beauty. I don’t remember this brand ever being…
Because it’s really damned important. To be completely honest, I haven’t always been the hardcore sunscreen proponent that I am now. I didn’t start wearing sunscreen on my face regularly until I was in my early 30s, and somehow, miraculously, I’ve managed to escape having any noticeable sun damage on my face. I’m still not…
