Rituel de Fille’s Inner Glow Crème Pigment sample in Lovesick is a wonderful rose color that’s great on my eyes and cheeks. It basically gives me a healthy flush, like I have a mild sunburn. The formulation of it comes on pretty even for the most part. It just needs a little building up here and there with a very light dab or two of the product on the eyes. You can purchase it here: Rituel de Fille Inner Glow Creme Pigment Sample, Lovesick at Integrity Botanicals.

Please excuse the trailing of the color. Due to the darkness of it, it's a little messy when using.

I tried MOB Beauty’s Hydrating Cream Lipstick sample in the color Dried Rose. It can be bought here: MOB Beauty Hydrating Cream Lipstick Sample, Dried Rose at The Detox Market. Once you’ve clicked on the above link, scroll down a bit and click on the circled question mark area that says Sample It. While the color orange—so long as it’s more on the subtle side—looks fantastic on my lips, this brown red orange was way too loud and bright for me. However, the texture of it felt divine on the lips—very smooth and creamy.

To tone down the harshness of the orange in MOB Beauty’s Hydrating Cream Lipstick sample in Dried Rose and to cool it out somewhat, I used Mineral Fusion’s Lipstick Butter in the color Vine. It’s a gorgeous berry shade that is super hydrating on the lips. The only drawback is that the case is kind of cheaply made (In spite of me being careful with it, there’s a small hairline fracture on it.), especially in light of the brand’s slightly steep asking price for it. Here is the purchasing information for it: Mineral Fusion Lipstick Butter, Vine, 0.06 oz, $12.60 at Walmart.

Pinrose’s Pillowtalk Poet—a Dead Ringer for Dedcool’s Milk

Attribution link: https://www.pexels.com/photo/lighted-candles-in-the-bedroom-4099356 / It was a cold, rainy, and windy evening in February and I really didn’t want to be at my RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) class. ‘Why didn’t my parents just baptize me instead of letting me choose my religion?’ I silently wondered to myself. If they had done so, I wouldn’t be sitting here every Monday night since October of 2023. Then a total sense of calm washed over me and I allowed my mind to wander. I was at home, next to my fiancé, with my feet propped up in some fuzzy socks as we quietly and intently watched the British TV series, Endeavour . We were both fresh from our respective showers and smelling really good. Him, with his Old Spice Swagger deodorant and me, with my Nivea Q10 Gel-Cream with lotus flower extract. There was nowhere else I’d rather be…That’s precisely what Dedcool’s Milk smells like. Milk i...

The Best Body Washes for Summer

I’ve always had a soft spot for this magical time of the year when the days are longer and the sun is out more often than not. When I was a kid and school was out, I’d ride my bike past the trees and lawns all covered in green. Like brushstrokes of paint, flowers in yellow, purple, red, and fuchsia would be peppered in between the lush greenery. Here are the body washes that evoke the nostalgia of such a time, wash away the stickiness of a day of playing hard outside, and leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed and ready for a good night’s sleep. Mario Badescu Citrus Body Cleanser , 8 ounces, $14.95 at Mario Badescu One whiff of this citrusy sweet scent, and I was transported to my mom’s birthplace, Brazil. The year was 1982 and I was four years old. I could see my feet through the clear and bri...

My Top 3 Miller Harris Perfumes

Attribution link: https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-woman-spraying-perfumes-onto-her-face-10544091/ If you’re a fan of Parfums de Marly’s scent, Delina, then you’ll love Miller Harris’ Scherzo. Like Delina, the rose in this is very heavy (You may want to avoid this scent if you’re under the weather. It’s very present.) and smells very sophisticated. There’s a tobacco-like note in it that rounds it out. It’s probably the oud. If I’m correct, and it is in fact the oud, then kudos to Miller Harris. They finally got the scent right. Bath & Body Works and Henri Bendel always got it wrong. Being that I’m a writer, I have a soft spot for the story behind the scent. Scherzo is inspired by an excerpt in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, Tender is the Night . Here is the purchasing information for the sample: Miller Harris Scherzo Eau de Parfum Sample , 2 ml, $5 at Miller Harris. Miller Harris Scherzo 2-ml sample a...
