I can’t say that I was ever really consistent with my skincare routine before but over the years I’ve loved Benefit Cosmetic Mint Souffle, Neutrogena, Amore Pacific, and Origins. A few months ago I promised myself I would include skincare as a self-care priority and started facial mask Mondays and Fridays. More on this in …
Mineral Fusion Cosmetics
If you are ever in Mrs. Greens or Whole Foods and are looking for a great cosmetics company, please give Mineral Fusion a try. So far I have purchased their eyeshadow trio in Fragile and 3 of their Sheer Moisture Lip Tints in Glisten (my favorite), Blush, and Flicker. I bought Fragile from Mrs. Greens …
FACE Stockholm
Years ago I was exploring as much of Soho as I could fit after work (yipeee for retail therapy!) and before having to go home to start dinner… my first of many Manhattan shopping adventures… I found their cute little boutique sandwiched in-between Anya Hindmarch’s and Anna Sui’s. I fell in love with their eyeshadows …

And Then There Was… Bronnley…
I’m still in love with the scent of oranges even though autumn is fast approaching and we’re entering into the world of creamy pumpkin scents (don’t get me wrong, I love those too!). All through summer, my search had led me to Pacifica’s Tuscan Blood Orange & Nerola Orange Blossom, Atelier Cologne’s Orange Sanguine, Mor’s …

My Top Cosmetic Highlighters
Although I use MAC’s Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt nearly daily, I also like NARS’ Albatross and Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strip. Since using Whisper of Gilt, I’ve grown very fond of cream formulas, much more so than in the past. Many light gold, pale pink, and shimmery ivory creams may make great highlighters …
