Since I started Savvy Skin a few years ago, almost every one of my favorite makeup, skin care, and beauty products has been discontinued or reformulated! I know that’s how the beauty industry works - it’s always coming out with something New or some supposed Breakthrough Miracle Product, but once you finally find your favorite product, it’s [...]

RevitaBrow Eyebrow Conditioner is a new product that helps you achieve thicker, fuller looking eyebrows. It contains peptides and botanical ingredients to help revitalize, strengthen, and condition eyebrows. I was offered a free tube of RevitaBrow to try, and because I struggle with thinning eyebrows, I jumped at the chance. For the last several years, [...]

Here’s your chance to win a RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner, which sells for $150 on the RevitaLash website, and in salons and spas. The product is designed to create fuller, thicker, longer looking eyelashes after 3-10 weeks of daily use.

My friend was just in town visiting, and we were out all day yesterday gallivanting in the sweltering heat. Now she’s off to San Francisco, where it’s a [...]

If you’ve flown anywhere in the last few years, then you know that being able to bring all of your favorite beauty products is a big challenge, especially if you don’t check bags! And squeezing all of your necessities into a quart-sized ziplock bag is nearly impossible, plus most products exceed the 3 ounce limit anyway!

In the summer, nothing smells better to me than coconut suntan lotion mixed with the smell of the ocean or pool (yeah I’m weird and like the smell of chlorine). Now that I know more about sunscreen, I’ve learned to read ingredients and pick the products that are most effective in preventing sun damage. Unfortunately those sensible products [...]

Lose the Lipgloss?
It seems like every last thing I enjoy ends up being bad for me in some way (ice cream, shopping for stuff I don’t need, spending all day at the beach, frappuccinos, etc.) I just got an email press release stating that some Dermatologists warn lip gloss can be bad for you!?@!  This goes with my theory that [...]
