Thank you to Jamie from The Beauty of Life for providing the first guest post for Savvy Skin. Since hot, sticky weather is coming soon, Jamie gives you beauty tips to survive humidity and heat.

Ugh, summer. To this beauty chick, that means one thing – humidity. Living in
New York is great until the temperature […]

Every day a new breakthrough wrinkle cream, or state-of-the art moisturizer is released, and it’s amazing how far the beauty and skin care industry has come to bring us cutting edge anti-agers. This is what we are led to believe, but I realized most of my skin care staples are pretty old-school!
Retin-A
Back in the late 80s, I […]

I always turn to Ebay.com for any and every item I am desiring, because a lot of times you can get great deals there. And as the Ebay “shop victoriously” commercials say - it’s more fun when you win something!
Fake Skin Care Products
A few years ago I thought I’d look to see if my favorite […]

I live in Las Vegas, where you can’t even go to the grocery store or gas station store without having to walk past a slot machine. Millions of people come to Vegas each year, hoping that they will strike it big and win the Megabucks slots, or at least walk away with fistfuls of cash […]

Sometimes I’m not real quick when it comes to trying new products. MAC Strobe Cream has been out a long time now, and I just tried it! After writing about unsuccessfully trying to find a face highlighter, I found a bunch of good reviews about MAC Strobe Cream. It turns out Strobe Cream is not […]

Maybelline Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper
I honestly don’t think lip plumpers work to plump up your lips, even in the short-term, but I love lipgloss and this was cheap ($7), compared to most plumping glosses. […]

One of my favorite skin care websites is DERMAdoctor.
It was started by Dr. Audrey Kunin, who is a board-certified Dermatologist. The reason I like the site is because it’s an online store, featuring tons of popular skin care and beauty brands (in all price ranges) like Afirm, Cellex-C, Bliss, Burt’s Bees, Dr. Brandt, Kinerase, Murad, Neutrogena, and tons […]

When I was researching for my Creme De La Mer post, I discovered there is a skin cream that is very similar to the super pricy cult favorite. While Creme De La Mer now costs $125 for a one ounce jar, Nivea Creme only costs 99 cents for a tin of it, or up to a whopping […]
