I’m excited to write this Iris and Romeo review because it’s an up-and-coming brand that deserves more attention. This brand first caught my eye when they sent me an email pitch to my work inbox about their “all-in-one” foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen skin tint. I am a big fan of products that do double duty….
An age-old skincare question if I ever heard one.
For all my sensitive skin girlies out there, this Vanicream review is for you. I discovered Vanicream maybe five or six years ago when my perioral dermatitis was flaring up around my mouth, and my itchy skin needed a really bland moisturizer to relieve the itching, irritation, and redness. I normally flock to my favorite…
And, yes—they’re totally worth the splurge.
I discovered the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum after a celebrity esthetician had used it on my skin during a facial. I can bet that you’ve probably seen this brand before. iS Clinical is widely used at spas and dermatology offices nationwide and is one of the leading, professional-grade skincare lines. iS Clinical is all…
As a beauty and lifestyle writer, I’ve tested dozens of lipsticks—some luxury tubes with expensive pricetags as well as a handful of drugstore picks. The latter, which was previously thought of as subpar, has come a long way. In fact, I’ve found that drugstore lipstick can be just as good as, if not better, than…

I have been perfecting the heatless waves overnight look for as long as I can remember. When I was in grade school, I’d ask my mom to put my hair in those (super uncomfortable) spongy rod rollers multiple nights a week. I loved sporting my curly-Qs at school. Nowadays, I prefer a look that’s less…
Non-toxic deodorants are all the rage in the world of underarm care, and for good reason—aluminum-based deodorants might not be the safest formulas to apply to your pits. Not only are non-toxic deodorants safer for your skin, but they might include ingredients that are safer and more natural for the environment, too. While I do…
When I studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa ten years ago, I was taking a high dose of antibiotics for my cystic acne. The antibiotics cleared up my skin but left me feeling sick all the time. My immune system was shot. My throat was hurting all the time. And I developed a pretty…
It’s not often that I would ever title an article or a blog post with such a click-baity-sounding headline. The Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum, however, absolutely has changed my skin for the better and deserves recognition. I am shook by how different my skin feels after trying this mandelic serum for the last…
If you couldn’t tell by my last name (Quinn), I’m as Irish as they get! With an Irish heritage comes very sensitive skin. Having worked as a beauty editor and writer for the last 8ish years, I’ve tried many, many skincare products. Some have been amazing, and most have been irritating as hell—especially those marketed…
