Hi, my name is Trina and I’m a recovering tanning bed junkie.
I knew it was bad for me. But I just didn’t care. I was young and reckless. Everyone knows tan fat looks better than pale fat so I threw all caution to the wind and soaked up those ultraviolet rays.
Once I hit my thirties [...]

In the winter time the dry air really affects my skin. Specifically my legs in the shin area. I’m not one to use lotion on a regular basis but when I did in the winter it seemed pointless. My skin would still be dry flaky and itchy by the end of the day.

After raiding my local Dollar General for e.l.f. brushes and basic tools I scoped out the website to see what other goodies where available.
After perusing for what seemed like forever, I finally made up my mind and picked up these:
Mineral eyeshadows, in Seductive and Partier [...]

A few months ago, I heard Dollar General was carrying e.l.f. products. I kid you not when I say I immediately went to a local DG to scope it out. I had been dying to try this inexpensive line of makeup and beauty tools but wanted to see it in person first.
To my dismay all [...]

A few months ago I was contacted by someone at Pond’s marketing team offering to send me a complimentary pack of Ponds Towelettes to review on my blog.
I posted my review there last week (since that was in the original agreement and prior to me signing on here at Chic Critique) but wanted to [...]
