Last year during HG foundation search 2.0, I read about Kanebo Creme. (Search 1.0 resulted in chanel vitalumiere, which could no longer cover moderate rosacea.) It was recommended as fuller coverage...

I ordered a sample, hoping to check ingredients before committing to this foundation. Unfortunately, all I learned was "6% octyl methoxycinnamate." Not off to a good start (this sunscreen tends to i...

The EDT is admittedly tame, easy to wear around friends, family, a cozy soft vanilla musk that begins with gin, lime, and hidden floral notes. I hear "that smells good! what is it?" far more with Bri...

Sheer, white-based shimmer. It's a little bright and pearly for my browbone, but adds such luminescence to liners and base shades. This is typical fine-milled stila, and so versatile - I reach for t...
