The Scar Question

Scars. We all have them, and I think we are all trying to get rid of them. There are so many products on the market, that I am just overwhelmed. What do I get to treat my old scars from injuries?? I suppose some combination of the above products has to do something right? What about those pesky acne scars? The above products seem hardly appropriate for acne scars on the face! There's all manner of high priced exfoliants and creams for that, and I have even fewer thoughts as to what might work in that department...

So, dear readers, what works for you?? How have you treated your acne scars and scars from injuries? I'd love to know what was successful for you!

Quick Beauty Questions!

I am SO tired this week, I don't know how I'll manage to keep up! Here are the beauty questions that have been on my mind. :)

• How many foundations is too many? (Or is there such a thing?) Is one for each skin tone appropriate? Or one of each finish, for example tinted moisturizer, heavy coverage, etc?
• Save or spend? Do you buy only when there are sales or all year round? How about when a sale comes up, do you take it as an opportunity to save money you would've spent later?

In other beauty news, I got a sample of Jo Malone Assam & Grapefruit and Chantecaille Just Skin. I'm so excited to try both! Have you tried these products before? Also, weigh in on my questions above! :)

Beauty Questions!

You guys! I can't believe it is November already! AHHHH. The boyfriend started a new job in the city this past week, and I've just had a tired/busy week! The dry, cold air is not  helping either, as my sinuses and throat keep freaking out! Not to mention my skin... so dry, and a few break outs too. AHHH! In beauty news, I'm carefully plotting my November purchases but feeling really tempted by lots of things I'm seeing...

Tom Ford, why must you do this to me?! Have you guys seen this lipstick kit from Neiman's? For $125, I'm sort of dying for it... but can I (should I?) blow the November beauty budget on this? HELP!

I was also sorely tempted by a promo code over at Sephora. Did you see these It Kits? I'm hoping they'll be around still whenever that Sephora VIB sale takes place... But I just realized that won't work either, since you can only use one promo code... GRR. In any event, I was SO close to ordering some items on my list just to grab one of these kits. (I even contemplated multiple orders to get them all! YIKES!)

Please save me from a horrifying spending spree! :)

Anyway, here are today's quick beauty questions!

1. If you had $50 to spend at Saks Fifth Avenue, what would you buy? (I have a gift card, and I'm thinking a Burberry Eyeshadow or two, but I also wanted Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate... Do you think I could call a Saks counter and get free shipping?)
2. What is your favorite hand cream? I'm in the market for a new one. :)
3. Do you read beauty books? If so, do you have any favorites? I like Bobbi Brown and Robert Jones' Makeup Makeovers. :)

I'd love to hear what you think! What have you been up to? Should I let myself be tempted to buy? Plus I'd love to hear your thoughts on my beauty questions! :)

Quick Beauty Questions, #2!

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! It is suddenly very cold here in the Midwest, and the cold weather and dry air everywhere is not treating me well! I thought I'd share with you some of the beauty questions that have been on my mind the last few days. I'm looking forward to what you think! :)

1. Does your skin change based on the weather, or for other reasons? Or are you lucky enough to use the same products year round? (Mine is very sensitive to weather, and I'm in one of those phases right now. I need to find a solution!)
2. What do you do when your nails break really far down? Do you use nail glue or anything like the nails inc "bandages" pictured above? (I just trim mine off and file them, but there must be a better solution!)
3. When it comes to face masks, are you looking for one quality only, such as pore minimizing, or are you looking for an all in one skin solution? (I don't know much about face masks but it seems to be that the more effective masks are specifically targeted?)

Please share! I'd love to hear your opinions on these beauty questions that piqued my curiosity this week! :)
