Spring 2011: I’m a widow. But I will not go down without a fight.

My husband Derek Miller passed away on May 3, 2011, after a long battle with cancer. Read more on my personal blog.

I have not been thinking about beauty much this month, but I have been having success with a few good products along the way. I’d love to write detailed reviews, but I’m simply too sad and tired. Becoming a young widow is complicated. And I’m a single mother now, too. So I’ll just list here what I am LOVING, and you may want to leave your two cents in the comments, or perhaps try these products yourself:

1. skoah face skotion SPF 30. I am committed to wear SPF every day. Smells like cucumbers. Not too greasy.
2. Clarins One-Step Facial Cleanser. Removes makeup and makes my life easier. Orange Extract.
3. New Benefit Refined Finish Facial Polish. Apply to your dry face. Removes dead skin gently. Cool blue bottle.
4. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel. No more sun for me! Self tanners save skin and reduce risk of cancer. Best result I’ve ever had with a self-tanner. No streaks, nice golden brown. Not too dark.
