Vita Liberata Trystal Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals review
As a self-tanning aficionado, I’ve gotten pretty good at achieving a tan that no one would guess was faux… on my body, that is. As for my face, I gave up trying. In the summer months, when I’m using self-tanner on my body, I skip my face entirely, and fake a glow with a combination…

Adore Cosmetics Golden Touch 24K Techno-Dermis Eye Mask

A worthy splurge from the sea The first night I used Phytomer Pionniere XMF Perfection Youth Rich Cream, I had a vivid dream: I was a mermaid, swimming through an underwater kingdom. I felt buoyant and carefree, zipping through the sea. No, I didn’t eat anything crazy before bed. It was the scent of the…

Dr. Brandt Oxygen Mask review: Facial Flash Recovery
I just had an oxygen facial, and my skin went from dull to radiant in under five minutes. This transformation did not require a visit to a dermatologist, although a doctor was involved. Some might say, THE doctor: Dr. Fredric Brandt, the late, great, world-renowned dermatologist to the stars. Anyone who follows celebrity beauty news…
