Estée Lauder Double Wear Light ($42) is legit, and I know this because of my hot lunch date today with Connor and El Hub (Tabs would have come, too, but he was booked… BOO!). It was chilly here today, so we got ramen… Anywho… I didn’t wear a lot of makeup last weekend, and I was in the mood for a little something-something today, so while I was looking around for inspiration this morning, I found this easy bronze eyeshadow look from a MAC artist I just found on Instagram. She’s so cute! Her name is Pelin Tutgun, and she’s...

1. The smell of Coppertone Waterbabies To quote master wordsmith Nelly, “It’s getting hot in hurr.” Today was 89 degrees! Last week it was 25 degrees cooler, but this week it’s starting to feel a lot like summer. I try to take Connor out nice and early to wear her little booty out, but before we go, I slather this sunscreen all over her and myself. This stuff always makes me think of summer and long lazy days at the beach. I love it. 2. Turn and learn I mentioned this Ted Talk in the last Saturday Surfing, but if...

Quick take: Here’s a hidden Clinique gem for anyone with red, irritated skin, or for anyone who simply loves creamy, moisturizing cleansers. Ugh. Red patches. So not fun! I started using a retinol product about three months ago, which has also meant that my skin freaks out every so often and the aggressive exfoliation triggers these red patches to appear.

The...

WikiWand turns Wikipedia in a pretty cool site. Although Wikipedia has its faults (political bias, incomplete or erroneous articles, spreading of hoaxes, mistakes…), and can not be considered infallible, at least in Science is a good starting point to deepen into the different referenced topics, and that is why it is widely used here in Science is Beauty. I’ve been testing this application (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) for a few days and it’s really impressive. Of course the biases and failures mentioned above do not disappear, but the usability and the user experience are a lot better. And so I wanted...

I got myself this Trader Joe’s Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask as a consolation prize last weekend because I went up and down every single aisle and scanned every shelf, but I couldn’t find my beloved Rose Oil Hand Cream, boo-hoo! So I got this thinking, “Yay! This will tide me over, and whatevs — it’s only $3.99, so it’s not the end of the world if I don’t like it.” Girlfriend. This mask is just as good as the fancy-schmancy Oribe one I used a couple months ago at the salon. It’s actually great, and it costs...
