Long overdue post on Vapour Organic Beauty! This is an awesome green and eco beauty brand – they use wind power and ingredients are biodegradable. Atmosphere Luminous Foundation Review I had high hopes for this luxury makeup and skin care brand’s higher coverage foundation and in a precision stick form. The formula has a nice…
I’m a huge fan of Drunk Elephant skin care for my sensitive skin. This is a great brand that truly understands skin sensitivity. I so appreciate that they don’t use ingredients like petrolatum, FRAGRANCE :), BHT, hydroquinone, PEGs, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, silicones and even essential oils. Yes. even essential oils can irritate those of us…
I visited the Detox Market in Santa Monica specifically to test out Kjaer Weis organic foundation, and of course I walked away with this clean beauty makeup and a bit more. Online shopping for clean beauty – especially organic makeup – is very difficult in terms of finding appropriate color swatches and matches (hence, all…
We’ve been a bit busy lately and I’m majorly losing track of time…how long ago did I buy these colorful beauties? A few weeks? Almost 2 months ago? Hard to keep track, but I’m finally getting around to my reviews. Farsali Unicorn Essence Review – What’s Not to Love? I frequently scan Sephora’s site for…
If Kevyn Aucoin the sensual skin enhancer provides the best coverage for dark spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation and vitiligo, Cover FX (which also makes this a good alternative to Dermablend) and Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able full coverage foundation are close seconds.

Here’s the thing: For over 2 years I’ve known about the best full coverage, long lasting foundation makeup for melasma and vitiligo. For me, it’s mixing two colors of Kevyn Aucoin’s The Sensual Skin Enhancer. It is a great alternative to thick full coverage makeup like Dermablend. But it is not without it’s flaws (and…
If you have melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots or conversely vitiligo (or all of them like me 🙂 ) it’s crucial to wear high quality non-toxic SPF sunscreen or sun block every day. Especially if you use exfoliators or resurfacing masks like Drunk Elephant Sukari Baby Facial like me. There are many healthy SPF options and…
How do I make my makeup last longer? Ughh. Story. Of. My. Life It’s annoying enough to have two contradictory pigmentation issues on my face, but to boot I have a hard time keeping any makeup on for long periods of time. I always thought I should be looking for a good primer and finishing…
I was excited to reconnect with an old acquaintance and good friend-of-a-friend this summer – not just because she is awesome and so much fun, but also because she is a Beautycounter rep and I had been wanting to try some of their makeup. I had heard of Beautycounter a few years ago on Facebook….
