London Beauty

Odds and Sods:

British, informal: different kinds of things that are usually small. Like the American phrase, Odds and Ends.

This is our little gathering place for the thoughts that drift in and out our minds, from makeup to skincare. Check out product reviews, how to's, and our impressions of what's going on in the beauty world. Grab your coffee and feel like you're having a little chat with us. We'd like to say it's as good as being in the shop, but we don't know if you have good cup of coffee.

My Identity Crisis

There is always talk of a quarter life or midlife or just life crisis. I swear I am always looking to be the latest rabble rouser. I wore black when everyone else was in pastel. I colored my...

I Blush

I feel like I can’t stop blushing with all the excitement of our Anniversary, plus that great summer glow that I painstakingly mange with SPF and my favorite multi-stick. The one thing that makes...

I Mask Therefore I Am

To be clear, that’s not to say that I am regular about administering them. I’m busy, like everybody else. In my mind I can Marie Kondo my house, cook a gourmet meal (from box prep), get my...

My Ah-Ha Moment
