Paula’s Choice RESIST Moisturizer & Serum reviews, skin care | (14)
I've read a bunch of reviews of Paula's Choice products, and I know Paula Begoun has a cult-like following of people who are obsessed and literally Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Her. (Full disclosure, I haven't read her books, but I have read a lot of what she says on her site!) As with any decent product line, it's going to work well for some and bomb for others because everyone's skin is different. From what I've read, though, a lot of Paula's Choice products get major raves. And truly my skin has loved everything I've tried from ...

How To: Deal With Rosacea how to, reviews, skin care | (6)
I'm super excited to review my new favorite product, Paula's Choice 1% BHA Lotion! But first, let's talk a bit about rosacea. You've probably heard about rosacea (or might have even been diagnosed), but don’t fully understand what it is. Don’t feel bad! The medical community doesn't fully understand what rosacea is or how to get rid of it either. Awesome, right? But don’t freak out.

Sephora Splurge makeup, reviews, shopping, skin care, Take Sunset | (8)
On Rob's first day off since our wedding, he spent a good hour tolerating me endlessly wandering around the Sephora at Westfield Topanga Mall. He didn't even complain when I dragged him back, after he thought he's finally escaped, to purchase Buxom Insider Eyeliner that I just had to have after seeing my eyes in the mall's bathroom mirror.

However, there are things you can do to keep your skin clear while your system balances out. With hormones in flux you just have to work a little bit harder to keep things in tip-top shape. Here are some skincare basics, ...
