November Empties

I don't know how it happened, but I used up a ton of products this month! I guess that just gives me more license to go out and buy more stuff, right? Panda's Dream White Sleeping Pack by Tony Moly - The Panda's Dream White Sleeping Pack has got to be one of my favorite night creams of all time. First of all, the packaging is adorable. Secondly, and more importantly, the cream is really great. It's very light and refreshing, and it feels great on the skin. I will definitely continue to repurchase. Age Shield Face Sunblock Lotion SPF 110 with Helioplex by Neutrogena - I think I've been through five or six bottles of this particular sunscreen. I take protecting my skin from the sun very seriously, so I wear sunscreen on my face and neck literally every day and try to keep the rest of my skin covered while I'm in the sun. I love this sunscreen, not only because it has really high SPF, but because of the texture. Sunscreen can often feel heavy and greas...

June Favorites: Recommendations

I feel like there are only so many ways you can introduce a favorites blog. I mean, as much as I'd like to be creative with my favorites introductions, there's only so far you can go.

Grindhouse Double Barrel Sharpener by Urban Decay ($10) - This is sort of weird, but one of my favorite products this month was my new pencil sharpener from Urban Decay. I picked up the Grindhouse Sharpener a few weeks ago after I finally got fed up with my Essence Duo Sharpener. I've come to the conclusion that pencil sharpeners are one of those products that you never appreciate until you get a really good one after you've had a bad one. It's so refreshing to finally own a sharpener that 1) actual...

Kiko: First Impressions Friday

Kiko is one of those brands that I've been dying to try for forever, but Kiko is kind of tough to get in the US, so I haven't been able to try it...until now. The other day, I was at the Oculus Mall in the World Trade Center, and they had a Kiko store there. I almost died of excitement (I mean, not really, but you know what I mean). Anyway, if you don't know, Kiko is an Italian cosmetic brand with fairly reasonable prices. Their products range in price from Wet n' Wild level to NYX prices. I picked up a few of their products while I was at the Kiko store, and today, I want to give you my *first impressions* (although, let's be real, I've been using this stuff for more than a week). Smart Nail Lacquer in #27 (Pearly Light Blue) - I'm back on the nail polish wagon after I fell off for a while, and I'm enjoying my return to makeup mountain. Kiko had their Smart nail polishes on sale for like $2, so, of course, I had to pick up some of their polishes....
