Now that I’m doing Spring Cleaning during this Spring Break, I shall share my favorite beauty products, as well as a few reviews…
Since I love to stimulate my senses, I tend to stock up on stuff that is visually-appealing ~ you know, eye candy ~ and smells good to yours truly.
Matrix® Biolage Hydrathérapie & Smooththérapie
Biolage by Matrix® is my #1 brand of hair care because I feel like I’m in a spa whenever I use it! It’s a sweet treat for my hair since I always experience an enticing scent and a smoothing effect.
Pantene Pro-V & TRESemmé + Conair & Revlon
However, I also rely on TRESemmé and Pantene Pro-V styling products when using my Conair and Revlon hair appliances.
What’s in My Shower? More Pantene & Herbal Essences + Garnier Fructis
Are You Sure? Raise Your Arms!
I stash deodorant in my bathrooms and my bags, so I’m always ready to combat b.o.
N for SkiN Care: Neutrogena & Nivea Rock!
To treat my oily-dry combination skin, I need a variety of skin care products that treat acne and moisturize!
Neutrogena Skin-Clearing® w/ Microclear® Technology
Neutrogena Skin-Clearing® w/ Microclear® Technology
Hello Kitty for M•A•C & Forever 21 Limited Editions

Signature Fragrances for Each Season
These are just a few of my favorite fragrances, in rotation by season.
- Sephora Hello Kitty Pink Bow roller ball when on-the-go

- Coach Legacy for Fall
- VS Angel Gold for Winter
Sephora Fragrance Sampler mini vials come in handy for travel
My sample bottles, including from this Sephora Favorites Fragrance Sampler for Her and from VS, are the perfect size to fit into my array of purses!
More Sephora Fragrance Samplers
See how Sephora samples accumulate?
What’s in My Purse? Coach Handbags for Each Season + Bare Essentials I Don’t Leave Home Without
I should have enough scent samples to fill all of my handbags, including a couple of my classics and a couple of my seasonal
- Coach [counter-clockwise, from bottom right]: Madison Maggie Shoulder Bag in chocolate-doe/gold hardware with matching wristlet that I change out with larger bags, Poppy Denim Whipstich Hippie with matching wallet that has Legacy Stripes lining, Signature C Tote in tri-color, Poppy Pop C backpack in pastel/gold hardware
- Bath & Body Works® PocketBacs are in all of my bags
- As you already know, I also keep deodorant in handy
- A first-aid kit, or at least Neosporin and bandaids (like in this keychain container) aid in the event of a boo-boo
- My generous students have gifted me with other beauty needs worth mentioning: blush and eye shadow palette and manicure set from one plus Breast Cancer Awareness compact mirror from another!
- Miniature lotions and fragrances (such as those that appear above) ~ including this Juicy Cologne in Sprightly Sparkle from the Philippines ~ help my body smell nice
- Last but most definitely not least: gum freshens my breath, and floss picks are a must-have between meals!
Bath & Body Works® Aromatherapy & Fragrances to Get Through the Day
Certain scents are perfect for the senses at a specific time
- This B&BW® P.S. I Love You Spring Fling Lotion and Body Spray is great for the upcoming spring days and sunny rays!
- Orange for energy ~ such as B&BW® Orange Sapphire or Aromatherapy Energy with Orange + Ginger upon awaking
- Eucayptus for destressing ~ such as B&BW® Aromatherapy Stress when relieving anxiety [I also apply the aforementioned Vicks VapoRub to tense muslces]
- Jasmine for romance ~ such as B&BW® Night Blooming Jasmine or Aromatherapy Sensual with Jasmine + Vanilla at bedtime [I also use vanilla to relax, such as from the Summer Vanillas collection ~ Berry, Lemon and Coconut]
- Lavender for rest ~ such as B&BW® Aromatherapy Sleep with Lavender + Vanilla at bedtime
NOTE: None of these aforementioned rants and raves are endorsements; they all simply come from my own opinion [other similar product mentions appear in brackets].
