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 think I have finally found a face highlighter/illuminator than I can wear without getting clogged pores. I wrote about how sad I was that I had to get rid of my Benefit High Beam because it has pore-clogging ingredients, and every other similar product I have seen recently contains problematic ingredients for acne-prone skin.

Even though I’m obsessed with skin care, and knowing everything I can about it, I don’t know quite as much about makeup. For the last month, my fellow beauty bloggers have been reporting about the new Fafi collection for MAC Cosmetics. The collection looks great, and I love the look of the products. I just [...]

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to get perfect, lucious lips! MAC has a little tutorial about how to achieve the “perfect pout” (which you can see in this picture). The lipgloss in the picture is Plushglass, which I now have to try!
