 Alpha Lipoic Acid). This serum has a very faint, semi-sweet herbal scent.
Experience: one of the key ingredients here - Stone Crop - is actually a wonderful healing and calming natural agent. It helps a lot with redness and any type of skin irritation. Although the serum itself doesn't look very appealing (a yellowish-brown liquid), it feels quite watery and lightweight. I find that once you've worked it in - it gets absorbed really fast, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated.
Now, if you have dry skin like moi, then using the serum alone won't do the trick. You will have to layer a few products in order to get that well-moisturized feel. Did it make me look like I am 16 again? No. But it works well in combination with my favourite moisturizers, as well as on my neck and décolleté.
Final Thoughts: I would not expect age-rewind miracles here, but if you have a combination/oily skin and are on a hunt for a lightweight serum (one that is packed with antioxidants; is free of nasty chemicals; restores your skin's natural radiance) - look this way.
I personally think that the brand's Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum would be best for beauties with dry skin. I have yet to try it, but judging from my experience with skincare products in general - I have a feeling it would do a great job at rehydrating dry winter skin.
Overview: this is a strictly dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin cream. It promises to soothe irritation, calm and hydrate. Wonderful thing about this product is - although it is packed with amazing ingredients, that are known for deeply hydrating and protecting the skin (shea butter, grape leaf extract, aloe, rosemary, calendula, Coenzyme Q10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid to name a few) - it never feels heavy or greasy on the skin. You know those vaseline-kind of creams? Those that you are supposed to just whack on (while your skin is suffocating underneath them)? Well, this is not that kind of a cream.
Experience: I would only go for a rich formula like this during the winter season; aka that time of the year when all of my other creams fail. This formula is definitely on a thicker side, but in a very sophisticated way. I normally grab a small amount, warm it up between my fingers and then press it onto my face/neck. It does have a relaxing, herbal scent to it and instantly gives even the most dry skin a very much needed "hug". Doesn't clog pores or cause milia.
If you have ever used Kiehl's Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm - a heavier balm formula for those people who suffer from flaky, cracked, patchy skin - then you would (actually) prefer the Eminence version. When I lived in New York last year [if you are from the Tri-State area, then you know how harsh those winters can be] I would rely heavily on my Kiehl's cream, but it would look horrible underneath make-up. Whereas this Eminence cream is a miracle-worker: it can be used both day/night and I always feel like I wake up with a very healthy, fresh and rejuvenated skin when I use it overnight.
Final Thoughts: if you live in a cold climate and your skin is feeling miserably dry and flaky at the moment - give this one a go. It is, hands down, the thickest cream I own - but for this time of the year, I couldn't ask for more! Great alternative to a hydrating facial oil (in case you don't get along with oils). Plus it will last you ages, because you only need a very small amount.
Overview: as a brand loved by many SPA salons across the Globe, Eminence body products are something I have been curious to try ever since posting my very first review. Just like a few products mentioned earlier in this post, Stone Crop Body Lotion contains Coenzyme Q10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid (two guys known for reducing wrinkles and improving an overall quality of the skin) - definitely not something you come across often when buying a body lotion. The bottle comes with a pump (yay) and contains 250 ml/ 8.4 oz.
Experience: so, this is one of those body lotions that is neither too watery or thick; consistency-wise it sits right in the middle (which personally - is something I prefer). It does leave a few white streaks as you are trying to blend it, but just keep working it into your skin and it will be fine. Since we have our good old Stone Crop here, this formula will not only hydrate your skin, but also help with age spots/scar healing. Once it is on your skin, it gets absorbed really fast, leaving your body feeling smooth and hydrated.
Final Thoughts: there is literally nothing bad I can say about this formula. Long gone are the days when I could use a cheap body lotion with a chemical strawberry scent and be happy about it. These days I am more cautious about what bodycare I use and it is good to know that there are organic brands out there, that are willing to invest into research and production to give us products that don't just feel good, but also take special care of the largest organ of our bodies.

I definitely went a little wild during the Nasty Gal sale, and yup, reference the first sentence of this post and you'll find that the majority of my scores were UNIF. The UNIF Detention dress was #30-ish dollars. Insane! Insane in the membrane, people.
I was ogling the Leo Zip Pants forever but couldn't justify the price tag until they dropped to under $30. The reviews all revealed the pants fit super small- like two sizes to small. Yup, they were right. Lord, are these suckers super tight. I might rip them up a little to change the skintight-suction-cup thing going on, but we'll see. They look super rad on, and I suppose that's all that counts for now.
The iPhone finally happened, so there will hopefully be lots of instagramming happening!

For the most part I have weathered the hormones of pregnancy pretty well.  Until the last 6 weeks when extenuating circumstances married hormones and ruined my life.    The fact that I am going to have to push a human out of me in the next 5-7 weeks seems like an impossible feat.  In the last two months:

1) Dog contracts freak bacterial infection that results in a week long hospital stay.  Oh and the illness is zoonotic disease that can transmit to humans and is very dangerous for pregnant women as it can result in stillbirth with the mother showing no signs.  

2) 32yo sister drops dead which results in ongoing grief, two
