I've always had very long eyelashes that hold curl pretty well.  I'm just lucky, I guess.  Since I have decent eyelashes to begin with and am not expecting mascara to fix any problem, I rarely hate any mascara. I just like some more than others.  Here are a couple of reviews regarding the two I've been using recently: Coastal Classic Creations Whispering Seas Mascara in black- Product Description (provided by website)- "Our 'Whispering Seas' Mascara was created meticulously, ingredient by ingredient, eliminating any questionable toxic ingredient heretofore found in many mascara products. Made with the same high purity,...

I have tried several different toners in the past few years, but I usually ended up throwing them away or simply forgetting to use them when the bottle was still half full.   I never really saw enough of a difference in my skin to continue using or purchasing them. But after buying and loving Karen's Botanicals Rehydrating Olive Oil Cleanser, I decided to give her toner a try.  I wasn't really surprised when I ended up loving it too.  The Melissa Rose Toner is for normal to dry skin.  I was reluctant to try the Fennel Sage...

I drink tap water; I don’t need fluoride in my toothpase.

After trying several different kinds of Tom's of Maine toothpastes, I've come to realize that they are all flawed in some way or another.  Most of them have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (and not to mention fluoride: don't even get me started on fluoride), and the ones that are SLS and fluoride free still don't freshen my breath.  I'm a frequent flosser, a mouth-washer, and a tongue brusher...so I'm pretty sure that it's no fault of my own. After giving up on Tom's of Maine, I decided to try Burt's Bees Fluoride-Free Whitening Toothpaste. Since Burt's Bees steers clear of SLS, I...

I love Raisin Bran Crunch, but I do not love high fructose corn syrup (and I don't even know what the hell modified corn starch is).  I recently finished a box of Flax Plus Pumpkin Raisin Crunch, and it's comparable in taste but has much better ingredients.  The ingredients are organic organic organic, and who doesn't love flax?! It keeps you regular, man.  I suggest trying it with rice milk.  It's a...

I rarely make a long-term commitment to any health and beauty product, but those listed below have a special place in my heart and in my beauty regimen. 1. Desert Essence tea tree oil mouthwash- Let's get real, natural toothpastes don't actually do much for bad breath.  Flossing and brushing are great for making my teeth look clean, but mouthwash is where it's at if I want to talk close to someone's face (and I do).  I love the way this stuff tastes, and it makes my breath downright pleasant. 2. Spring Valley tea tree oil (that walmart jurnt)- Can you tell...
