Have you noticed the abundance of celebrity skin care lines popping up lately? J. Lo, Millie Bobby Brown, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Kim K., Hailey Bieber… The list just keeps going and going!
I’m undecided about celeb skin care for one’s face. I’m more open to body products, though. Case in point: I recently bought a big jar of body cream from the skin care line by Alicia Keys, and it’s really good! I’m also very curious about the body sunscreen from Eleven by Venus Williams (it’s supposed to be excellent).
If it’s something with active ingredients for one’s visage, I’m more likely to skip it. I think maybe if I was in my teens or early 20s I’d be more open, but at this stage in my beauty life I feel like my mug needs serious “Real Housewives”-caliber potion that melts your face off, LOL! I’d rather spend $$$ on skin care you’d find at a dermatologist’s office, like Skinceuticals or SkinMedica.
All this to say, that for me, celebrity skin care lines are mostly a leave it situation.
How about you? What are your thoughts on celebrity skin care?

Have you ever wondered why pen caps have an opening on both ends? Or what we call the blob of toothpaste on your brush? Of course, everything exists for a reason, and sometimes the very reason will startle you for […]
Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. Colors that make you happy?
Mint green, pale yellow, light lavender – pastels bring me so much joy!
2. Last beauty product you received as a gift?
My friend Kelly gave me a tube of Saint Jane Lip Gloss that I’m pretty stoked about.
3. Summer or fall makeup?
This is hard for me. I love summer makeup because it’s so easy and breezy, but I appreciate the artistry of a full-on fall face beat. Hmm. Let’s go with summer makeup because it’s basically the style I’ve been wearing for the last two years.
4. Grapefruit juice: yum or yuck?
YUM!
5. Sweatshirt or cardigan?
An extra soft sweatshirt with a hood and pockets, please. I’m all about cozy comfort these days!
6. Worst car you’ve ever driven?
El Hub and I once got talked into renting a Ford Mustang convertible when we visited Hawaii years ago.
