Through the years I've truly come to realize the value of really knowing my skin and which types of products don't simply make it look good in the moment, but are good FOR it. Gentle yet effective skincare is vital for me, and I'm always on the lookout for something to keep my undereye puffiness at bay. I'm also on a mission to find good skin brighteners, exfoliators and other mini-miracles.

I'm also a photographer, and when I work with models & makeup artists I enjoy seeing how cosmetics can enhance a woman's face through nearly-naked minimalism or transformative use of color. Personally, I'm obsessed with lip gloss & lipstick shades and must admit I'm sure I have no less than 40 or 50 options in my arsenal. I'd say my desert island products would most definitely be very black mascara and bright peachy-pink blush. Experimenting for me really comes into play with the eye makeup, but when in doubt (fellow green-eyed ladies), practically all shades of purple accent hazel eyes amazingly.

I LOVE the luxury of baths, and often have a hard time fitting all of the salts, scrubs, bubbles and oils that I pick up along the way on the shelves of the bathtub. Fragrance is a point of high pleasure for me. I am drawn to fragrance oils and deep, warm scents as well as slightly sweet and oriental fragrances.

And, as you can likely tell, I love being the one to discover new things to try and sharing them with all my friends & family. That was what led Jen and I to develop this site. Now YOU ALL are our friends, and we are so glad to share the fun of beauty-enhancing products with you!

Take Care!

Melissa
