I seem to be hearing about a lot of new luxury skincare lines debuting from overseas. The latest is Sulwhasoo, a Korean brand. While the name may not be the greatest for English speaking consumers, the products themselves are pretty fancy.

Next to jasmine, lilac is my absolute favorite flower. I get positively giddy each spring when the lilac burst forth all over town. I’ve been known to steal blooms from neighbors bushes when I lived places that didn’t have any lilac bushes. And one of the first things I planted when we moved into our [...]

I debated whether or not to call this a lotion for your lips. I didn’t know if the idea of lotion for your lips would freak some people out. But 3Lab’s new Perfect Lips feels more like a lotion than any lip balm treatment I’ve ever used. 3Lab is a high end skin care brand [...]

I’ve been a bit resistant to the 80′s retro style that has been ruling the fashion scene lately. I’m not really ready to start wearing neon or wayfarers yet. But I have wanted to dip my toe into the trends a little. Deborah Lippmann helped me out with her new summer line of nail polishes. [...]
