New Fragrance Review: Insolence by Guerlain
If you like the scent of violets, sample the new scent by Guerlain, Insolence. There's an excellent review of this scent at The Scented Salamander. Airdrie liked the scent a lot, but Kerry Anne gave it two thumbs down. Try it for yourself at Sephora and major department stores. Don't forget to ask for a sample, and sleep in the scent before you buy it.

Kerry Anne's Reviews


Maybelline New York's Volum'Express Turbo Boost mascara disappointed me. It claims to increase the girth of your lashes fivefold, without clumping, but does not live up to its promise. The end result was nicely darkened lashes, but they were indeed clumpy. I had to comb them out after I used this product. It also ran by the end of the day, leaving me with dark undereye circles. I've heard good things about the regular Volum'Express mascara. Perhaps they need to ditch the Turbo Boost "technology". ($6.99CA $4.99US)

I've got a love/hate relationship with Summer. Hot car interiors, finding a new bathing suit and the need to slather sunscreen on my body I can do without. Fortunately, I've found a facial sunscreen that makes this season slightly more tolerable for me. I have sensitive skin, and often break out in acne or facial rashes from sunscreen ingredients. Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock in SPF 30 or 45 works very well on me. It goes on like a lotion, but dries to the touch in about 20 seconds, without any of the uncomfortable, greasy feeling I've had with other sunscreens. It's waterproof, doesn't clog my pores, and I've had nary an ingredient-induced rash all summer. I recommend this one highly, but if you have sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to try a product before you part with your cash. ($13.99CA or $9.99 for 88ml/3 fl oz)
Clinique's Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 40 is also an excellent sunscreen for my sensitive skin, though a more expensive option at approximately $20 for 1.4 fl oz/40 ml.
