I’ve always been curious about Aesop’s skincare, but it wasn’t until this Australian company opened numerous free-standing boutiques in New York in 2011 and 2012 that I acted on my curiosity and ended up trying a few products.
A helpful sales associate at one Aesop location asked me a few questions about my skin and gave me some tiny sample packets of Fabulous Face Oil to try. I’m so glad she did.
Did you hear that Fleet Week was cancelled in New York City this year? I have to say that I was disappointed to hear this. Not that I actually spend any time interacting with the visiting sailors, but I like to see them roaming around town for a few days.
Plus, it was going to be the perfect tie-in to this review of Hello Sailor, the newest product from Lipstick Queen.
I’ve already reviewed several Prismasilk Eye Colors from Sunday Riley (see my posts on Lady Godiva and Moon Dust), but I’m still finding other shades to love. Lately I’ve been wearing Sanders, a light brown with coppery shimmer.
I’ve been enjoying drugstore lipsticks just as much as high-end lip colors lately. It might just be the spring weather putting me in the mood for cheap-and-chic makeup, or perhaps it’s the fact that mass-market lipstick offerings really are better than ever these days.
I tried a Rimmel lipstick a few years ago and ended up throwing away most of it—that was the Moisture Renew formula, if I remember correctly. However, Rimmel’s Lasting Finish lipstick is another story entirely.
My latest post on Now Smell This is a review of Lavanila Fresh Vanilla Lemon Deodorant. You can read it here.
