Month: March 2023

Every now and then, something spurs my inner splurger and until I treat myself to something shiny and new, I can’t seem to think about any thing else. When that happens, 9 times out of 10, I’ll head over to Neiman Marcus, either online or in person, to really bask in the luxury experience. But this time when I felt it coming on, I found a lot more than one item I wanted to invest in. Rather, I found 30, each one more perfect for spring than the next.

Growing up, my skin was always extremely oily, something I spent years fighting with harsh scrubs and drying acne medications (lesson learned). Now though, I find that my skin gets dehydrated but remains oily on the surface. You can imagine this makes shopping for makeup products like foundation and concealer really tricky.

I spoke to a dermatologist to clear … Read more
