Should skincare contain fragrance?

I’d say no over yes, because some people are more irritated by it than others, though there are certainly many who do like it. On the flip side, if the base product smells off-putting then it’s hard to say “no fragrance!” only to smell, you know, something really unpleasant. I’m reminded of a “natural” product (I don’t remember what it was, so I don’t actually know how organic/natural it was), but it smelled SO bad and I could smell it on my face all day. Of course, there have been fragrance-heavy skincare products that I haven’t been able to wear all day because they’re too heavily perfumed! In a perfect world, it would just be neutral – no bad, no good – just nothing.

Sunday Link Love, Volume #136

Happy Sunday!

How has your weekend been treating you?  I’m working on editing the photos I took yesterday for NARS’ collaboration with Pierre Hardy, and then hopefully writing up reviews for the polishes.  I managed to get through all outstanding comments yesterday (that was my big goal for yesterday), and fingers crossed I can keep up with future comments–at least for a weeks 🙂  Also, since I’ve received at least half a dozen questions on where I buy a lot of the earrings I wear, here is the shop I’m obsessed with–Bella Anela Jewelry–which I’ve mentioned before (here, where you can also see my other favorite Etsy shops, and you can see my Etsy profile for even more).
