In Fiore Launches An Eye Cream And It’s SO GOOD For Dark Circles

I’m so smitten with the latest launch from In Fiore; their Vis Clair Supreme eye cream. It’s decadent, yet light. Absorbs quickly, yet feels nourishing all day long. Wears well under makeup. Does not migrate into the eye; one of my biggest complaints about most eye creams. And has improved one of my biggest complaints about my eye area – my dark under eye circles. Read on for the full review and the surprising ingredients they use to tackle dark circles in a completely new way.

8 Skincare Ingredients To Avoid While Pregnant

(Above: Me at 25 weeks pregnant on our babymoon in Maui!) Pregnancy is such a joyous, exciting, and often overwhelming time. There is so much to learn, so much to prepare for and so much to avoid to keep your growing baby healthy – food and beauty-wise. When I got pregnant, all of these “don’ts” were swirling around in my head: don’t eat deli meat, don’t eat sushi, don’t use retinol. The biggies I knew, but figuring out everything that could be potentially harmful to my baby took some time, online digging and talking with friends with kids to figure out. Luckily…

As the year comes to an end, I look back on all I’ve struggled with and overcome: a receding hairline and hair loss; intense perioral dermatitis flare ups; annoying acne; and dry/dehydrated and irritated skin.

Memory Inducing Scents: In Fiore’s Solid Fragrances

When I flip through my memory’s library pausing at volumes on childhood or first loves, the images are fuzzy.

I can recall neither the terror I’m sure was on her face, or the pain I felt from my open wounds. What does feel salient is the scent of fresh cut grass, the…

Essential Oils For Acne, Wrinkles & Pregnancy

Essential oils are tricky. They’re powerful enough to soften wrinkles, lighten pigmentation and heal burns. But if you have reactive skin like I do, they’re also capable of causing irritation, breakouts or sensitization. Doing too much, too fast, too soon will set you up for the aforementioned. Unfortunately, those were my experiences early on dabbling with essential oils, but I’ve realized after the fact that it wasn’t them, it was me, or rather my lack of knowledge about how to use essential oils and more specifically which ones to use. Mine is not an uncommon story. And as more and more women…
