Last week, Dr. Michelle Copeland Skin Care sent me travel-size products of their line to review for you, dear Chic Critique readers! I received their Daily Cleanser, Daily Normalizing Toner, and Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30, along with their Advanced Acne Solution, Rewind Eye Formula, and Pigment Formula, and a weekly Microdermabrasion Formula.
I can’t comment [...]

Snazzy title, right?
Lack of title-creativity aside, I have three skincare products I use nearly every single day: Clinique’s Three Step System, St. Ives’ Invigorating Apricot Scrub, and MAC’s Microfine Refinisher.
I’ve been using Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion for years, but it wasn’t until last fall that I splurged for the whole system.

Last weekend I discovered two Clinique mascara samples from the last couple gifting times at Macy’s, so this week I compared the Clinique High Impact Mascara with the Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara.
Day 1: On Monday I tested the Lash Doubling mascara. This mascara supposedly magnifies lashes to twice their size. But Lash Doubling did not [...]

One of my favorite all-time perfumes in Ann Taylor’s Possibilities, the brand’s first signature perfume. Their description calls it a delicate and classic fragrance, a bouquet of Bulgarian Rose, Waterlily, Blue Rose, Peach Musk, and Exotic Woods. Doesn’t that just sound amazing?
But I’ll be honest – I’ve never once owned the full-size 3.4 ounce bottle. Though [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I shared that I save money on haircare with the Suave Professionals line. Another way I save is by requesting free samples whenever possible.
In this case, you can get a free Nexxus Shampoo (retails for $8.99), Conditioner (retails for $13.99), and Deep Conditioner (retails for around $14.99) for free.
Nexxus claims [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Becky brought up my lifelong obsession – hair removal. When I commented that I’d had laser hair removal, I got a question in the comments from Stacie about how it works, so decided to share my experience with all of you!
First of all, to understand why I’d go to the [...]

I grew up in a family that only ever bought Pantene Pro-V or Herbal Essences shampoos. But when I got to college I realized I had no money and needed to tighten my belt. Then I graduated from college and realized I needed to tighten my belt even more… because I still had no money [...]

According to TheKnot.com, June is the most popular month to get married, which makes this a great time to chat about wedding shoes!! Oh, and did I mention I just got my official wedding pictures back?
I love, love, love my Idalis Pumps by Caparros. Adorable, comfortable, peep-toe heels just like my Dream Bride Barbie had. [...]

I know it’s spring, but am I the only one totally overwhelmed by the cacophony of floral prints that have taken over dresses, skirts, swimsuits, runways, and yes, even bras?? (Available in “night floral”. Ugh.)
Floral prints can look adorable on pajamas. Or on little girls. Sometimes even on swimsuits. But when it comes to [...]

The day has finally come. My husband graduates from law school tomorrow and that means I claim victory over his legal-textbook mistress. He is mine! No more late nights at the library to write memos and notes and briefs (all of which, despite appearances, are actually quite lengthy).
So how do I celebrate [...]
