#YouAreAwful

Jun 20. 2023

Have you watched season 6 of Black Mirror yet? The first episode is titled "Joan is Awful" and it stars Annie Murphy as Joan, who discovers a Streamberry (a streaming service that is eerily similar to Netflix) show called "Joan is Awful" (starring Salma Hayek!) based on her life. Well, Netflix has now released a promotional site that lets you "sign up" to Streamberry, take or upload a picture, and voilà! You are greeted with your own "____ is Awful" show. You can even download a digital image advertising your show: Kudos on a clever way to promote what is probably the most talked-about show of the new season! (Just a heads up, though...

Sephora Spring Sale 2023 Makeup Recommendations

Apr 13. 2023

I know you're probably getting inundated with recommendations for the Sephora sale, but I thought I would throw in my two cents here because I have some stuff that I have not seen on many other people's lists. Additionally, I am only picking one makeup item per category. (You can see my skincare recommendations here.) And because I am only listing the items I'm currently using, the products that are not available on Sephora (like concealer, brows, lippies, etc) are not listed. In other words, this list will be a lot shorter than others. :-) (I get commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.) Primer: Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Illuminating Primer Because my skin has turned dry, I now prefer...

Skincare Device Reviews: NuFACE, Light Salon, & Medicube

Feb 17. 2023

As a self-proclaimed geek, it's a give-in that I incorporate technology into my skincare routine. There are three devices I have been rotating regularly, and they are: the NuFACE Trinity (with Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment), the Light Salon Boost LED Face Mask, and the Medicube Age-R Ussera Deep Shot. The NuFACE Trinity is the one device where I can see an immediate effect upon use. The device sends microcurrents down to the muscles of the face to tone, lift, and contour, eventually reducing lines and wrinkles. I swear that when I do one half of my face, it looks more lifted than the other half! I actually have the NuFACE Trinity with the Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment. The Eye and...

Simple Skincare Routine, Early 40s Skin

Feb 10. 2023

As I've gotten older, I've pared down my skincare routine greatly. Gone are the days of the 10-step routine. Time is too precious. Simple, effective products are key. Although I don't use TikTok (I'm too old 😝), I do read about the big trends and I discovered skin cycling last year. Basically, the concept is: Night 1: Exfoliation Night 2: Retinoid Nights 3 & 4: Recovery Since I hadn't been using retinoids every day anyway, I began skin cycling ever since I read about the concept and I have to say I really like the results! Anyway, back to the routine. My morning routine is as follows: Cleanse (water cleanser) Essence Sunscreen That's it. Because of skin cycling, my night routine is a bit more complicated: Cleanse (oil cleanser) Cleanse (water cleanser) Exfoliate...

Ten Beauty Products I’ve Been Loving Lately

May 12. 2017

I'm happy to say that right now, at the age of 36, my skin is still clear of any lines or wrinkles. A friend paid me a great compliment the other day by exclaiming I had to have gotten Botox or fillers (I haven't).  :oops:  I know that I should credit some of this to genetics (thanks, mom!), but I also like to think that it also has to do with the diligent attention I've paid to skincare since I hit my thirties. My two keys to anti-aging: hydration and sun protection! It's been a while since I last wrote about my beauty routine, or skincare/makeup in general. I still have a love for K-beauty, but I've also incorporated French and American...
