If there is anyone who has zero interest in following a trend, it’s Jenna Lyons. She does what she wants, wears what she wants and expresses her true self in her personal style. Everything she does feels comfortable and on her terms? She’s hugely successful, stylish as hell, and doesn’t have to be loud about ..read more

First of all, Ayurvedic skincare is nothing new, and has been practiced for at least two thousand years but probably more. The term ‘Ayurveda’ originates from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, and today it more or less translates to “science of life” in English. The practice of Ayurveda centers on the belief that everything is ..read more

Charlotte Tilbury is a perfume lover, and there is no question about that. Her first perfume, Scent of A Dream was drop dead gorgeous and quite brave in this age of clones and smell alikes. Scent of a Dream always reminded me of my favourite eighties chypres like Ungaro Diva, Paloma Picasso and Patou 1000 ..read more

One of my favourite things to do while watching any of the Real Housewives is to see their vanities, bathroom counters or dressers. I want to see all the beauty items but mostly the perfume, especially of my fav HWs. I don’t ever recall seeing a perfume in Carole Radziwill’s gorgeous apartment, but somewhere in an interview she mentioned Annick Goutal Étoile d’Une Nuit. I’d never smelled any of the perfumes from the Goutal Oiseaux de Nuit collection but after reading the notes of EdN I foolishly bought it online, blind. I say foolishly as I currently have two blind buys I want to throw as far ..read more

I’m a lip balm/plumper/mask lover and am forever in search of the best. I’ve tried green, natural beauty that I’ve adored, like Kari Gran Cinnamon Tinted Lip Whip which is a lush and luscious balm. I’ve tried luxury balms like La Mer and the ( now discontinued) Christian Dior Crème de Rose. Both were gorgeous and felt like an upgrade from petrolatum but they weren’t holy grail status. Dior would actually still be a favourite if it weren’t discontinued. By Terry Baume de Rose would be the one that’s reached Holy Grail Status for me but it’s not sold anywhere near me. I get distracted by shiny t ..read more

One of my more ridiculous obsessions is perfume spotting in TV and film. If there is even a hint of a bottle on screen I have to pause and investigate immediately. Even more so when it’s one of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Near the end of last season we caught a glimpse of some toiletries on a bathroom counter and my eagle eye spotted perfume. I spy with my little eye a bottle of perfume I recognized that distinctive golden cap as my friend Henna of Canadian Beauty has posted HER bottle of this stunning perfume. Hello Sisley Soir d’Orient you gorgeous creature, you. I assumed it was ..read more

I was so excited to get my most recent package from The Boxwalla with these goodies from Natural Logic as I’ve seen the LUNA mask all over social media and was dying to try it. Of course it exceeded all my expectations and was gorgeous. But I was also completely blown away by the Eternal Milk. In fact I loved it so much I used over the half the bottle before I could even photograph it. That’s a sure sign of true love. Claudette Colbert as Cleopatra in a milk bath… Natural Logic Eternal Milk $88 USD What it is: a weightless serum containing peptides, vitamin C, niacinamide, rosehips, squalene ..read more

Eau de Jane is the scent of the past, the present and the future. The scent of now. Eau de Jane is the fragrance of green grass, earth and the flower petals we held as children. It was always my dream to create a perfume that held my memories. The memories of my past and memories of the strong beautiful humans in my life. That is Eau de Jane. Eau de Jane opens with bright sparkling citrus notes, meant to evoke sunshine. Then the green galbanum comes to play, evoking a green forest. There is a blend of floral and leafy green notes that continue to play on the skin, dancing in and out of the gr ..read more

They had me the second I saw the drop of liquid sunshine in my hand. Blüh Multi C Serum uses the brightening power of the vitamin c in the Kakadu Plum, an ingredient lighting up the skincare world. And it could be the most concentrated form of vitamin C out there. A word of caution: be cautious using glycolic acids while using this serum. My skin felt sensitized to the acids until I reduced the Multi C Serum to a couple times a week. This stuff is powerful. The Blüh Multi C Serum won a Beauty Shortlist Award for Best Brightening Serum in 2020 and I can see why. I saw results after two weeks an ..read more
