Denman Brush D90L The Deluxe Ultra Detangler in Kyoto Cherry Blossom

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

As a long-time fan of Denman brushes, I am always elated when I try a new brush from this outstanding British brand. Made in the U.K., these brushes are built to last, and they are a treat to use. The Denman Brush D90L The Deluxe Ultra Detangler in Kyoto Cherry Blossom is probably the most charming brush that I have ever had, and the Kyoko Cherry Blossoms put a smile on my face each time that I use this brush.

This brush really is a great detangler! As someone with naturally curly hair, that tends to knot, this brush does a great job gently detangling my hair. Denman suggests brushing from the bottom up to avoid damaging the hair, and that is the method that I always use. The paddle has a nice big surface area, and therefore you can brush large amounts of hair at once. The bristles boast a nice firmness, without being hard and uncomfortable, and they feel so good on the scalp. This brush can be used on wet or dry hair, and it is what I reach for every time that I wash my hair.

According to Denman,

Great for removing tangles due to the specifically designed short and long nylon bristle duo combo. The larger sized pad makes it the perfect detangling brush for those with long and thick hair. This wet and dry detangling paddle hairbrush glides through knots and tangles on long or thick hair, wigs and extensions for tug free detangling.

Features:

• Scratch proof, durable, full wrap print.
• Ideal for wet and dry detangling.
• Perfect size for longer hair lengths.
• Great for use on wigs and hair extensions.
• Powerful detangler for tackling tough knots.
• Top Tip: For effective detangling, start brushing hair from the bottom up.

Denman brushes are made in the UK.

Overall Assessment: What's not to love about this charming and effective brush?! A+

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls are a Game Changer

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls have been on my radar for many years. I have long-loved this German brand's products, established in 1888, and was aware of them even when I was a teenager working in a gourmet kitchen store. I have several of their products, but always wanted their stainless steel nesting mixing bowls. I first purchased the set of three, but quickly realized that I wanted a larger one, and then perhaps even a couple of the smaller ones. 

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls (Set of 3: $98.83 from Amazon and $100.35 from Wayfair): I have wanted this set forever, and between a gift card and Amazon points, it was the obvious time to purchase this set. A few of my favorite glass mixing bowls broke over the years, and I knew that I wanted a full set of high quality stainless steel bowls, and this was really the only brand that I was considering. They are built to last forever, and are worth the price because the quality is extraordinary. They have some weight to them, and they are very stable. The flared rim makes pouring really easy, and the mixing bowls are very comfortable to handle.

About Rösle,

Since 1888, Rösle has been using German engineering to produce the finest quality professional cooking tools and kitchen utensils for the professional chef and home cook. Designed for optimum performance, comfort and appearance, Rösle cookware offers a complete integrated system of kitchen utensils, cookware tools, colanders, casseroles, frying pans, skillets, barbecue utensils, barware and more. Made from the highest grade 18/10 stainless steel, Rösle will bring pleasure to food preparation that is guaranteed for a lifetime.

Features & Claims:

ALL PURPOSE: Prepare, store or serve food directly on the table - whether as a mixing bowl, salad bowl or for mixing ingredients, with drip-free pouring rims, the bowls are visually real eye-catchers and thanks to their functionality a real addition to any kitchen.

STAINLESS STEEL: Constructed with high-quality 18/10 premium stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity for long-lasting use. Hygienic and neutral in taste, preserving the natural flavors of your ingredients.

SPECIFICATIONS: Bowl 1) 6.3 Inch Diameter, Holds 1.7 Quarts. Bowl 2) 7.9 Inch Diameter, Holds 3.3 Quarts. Bowl 3) 9.4 Inch Diameter, Holds 5.7 Quarts. All bowls have a little weight to them to keep them from moving while using mixers or stirring.

FOR BEGINNERS TO CHEFS: Cooking and baking have never been easier when Rosle Cookware utensils are involved, providing true cooking enjoyment featuring products for novices in the kitchen to chefs in a restaurant. A pan for every occasion and kitchen tools that become wonderful helpers.

MODERN, YET CLASSIC: From kitchen to table, Rösle provides the tools needed for serving and preparing any meal, whether cooking for one on the bbq, to professional chefs and bakers, the quality is showcased in its thoughtful design.

Bowl 1) 6.3 Inch Diameter, Holds 1.7 Quarts. Bowl 2) 7.9 Inch Diameter, Holds 3.3 Quarts. Bowl 3) 9.4 Inch Diameter, Holds 5.7 Quarts.

Constructed with high-quality 18/10 premium stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity for long-lasting use. Hygienic and neutral in taste, preserving the natural flavors of your ingredients.

While the set of three is unmitigated perfection, I knew as soon as I received them that I was going to need  the largest one that was not included in the set, and ordered it that very day!

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl 11" and 9 quarts ($71.98 from Amazon): I am delighted by this large bowl, it was precisely what I was looking for, and it nests perfectly with the set of three bowls. If you do not need a large mixing bowl for your common kitchen tasks, then the set should absolutely suffice, but I always need a really large bowl for a variety of cooking and baking needs.

Sizes from largest to smallest: 11 inch diameter and holds 9 quarts, 9.4 Inch diameter and holds 5.7 quarts, 7.9 inch diameter and holds 3.3 quarts and 6.3 inch diameter and holds 1.7 quarts.

The two small sizes that I am contemplating, and will likely buy, are: the 3.2 inch diameter and . 21 quart ($22.50 from Amazon) and the 4.7 inch diameter and .74 quart ($21.80 from Amazon). These will nest perfectly inside of the 4 bowls that I already have, and are perfectly sized for smaller tasks.

Overall Assessment: Rösle is less well known in the United States, and quite well known throughout Europe, and it is definitely a brand worth exploring if you love to cook. It is such a pleasure using these bowls, and their other products are also exceptional. A+ 

Purchased. Rösle can be purchased from Amazon, Wayfair and Sur La Table (Affiliate Links). All views expressed are categorically my own.

March 2025 Empties for the Face, Body & Hair

Purchased & Press Samples (Affiliate Links)

During the month of March I was able to finish up 10 full-size products for the face, body and hair, and I would happily use all of them again. I should state, however, that any product that I use up is something that I really like or love, and that I would happily use again. I stopped using products that I disliked long ago, and see no point in using them. I try to re-home or repurpose products that don't work for me, and use products that I really enjoy using! Here are my thoughts on what I used up in March:

Spongellé Sugar Dahlia Heart Body Wash Infused Buffer (Currently on sale for $10.00 from Spongellé): The smell of this buffer is delectable, the top notes are composed of Citrus Nuances, Solar Accord, the middle notes are a delightful amalgam of Midnight Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Freesia, Muguet, Neroli, and the base notes are a lovely musk. Purchase Again? This particular sold out, but there are others from this collection that are currently on sale, and new heart body buffers that are not on sale. I would most definitely use this again!

Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena Hand Soap ($4.99 for 12.5 oz. and a 3-pack for $13.94 from Amazon, Walmart and Target): is a glorious lemon verbena scented hand soap that is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified. It moisturizes the skin, and leaves the hands very soft and clean without any sort of residue. It has a satisfying lather, a delectable fresh citrus aroma, and it makes washing hands a joy rather than a drab experience. Purchase Again? Yes, I absolutely love this hand soap, and I just opened a new bottle!

Philip B. White Truffle Ultra Rich Moisturizing Shampoo: This is, without question, the most luxurious shampoo that I have ever used, and it cost an astounding $90.00 for 7.4 oz. It appears that it was discontinued, and it was prohibitively expensive, but it was rich, creamy, moisturizing and it had a delectable nutty aroma. I enjoyed every single drop. After I photographed it, I added water to get the last two uses from this beautiful shampoo! Purchase Again, if it was still available? If it was deeply discounted, I definitely would!

milk_shake Moisture Plus Conditioner ($28.00 for 8.4oz. from milk_shake and Amazon): This deeply moisturizing conditioner, which boasts the thickness and emollience of a mask, has a delectable papaya aroma. The conditioner is formulated for dry and dehydrated hair. It is also a lovely choice for the cold weather when the skin, hair and scalp are subjected to extreme temperatures that can really dry them out. The shampoo thoroughly cleanses the hair, and it rinses clean without stripping the hair or weighing it down. The conditioner offers hair nourishing hydration that leaves hair soft, smooth, manageable and free from frizz and flyaways. Purchase Again? Given the I cut open the tube to get every last bit of product out, I would say that I am sure to purchase it again!

The A Method Bubble Foaming Oxygenated Cleanser ($42.00 for 4 oz. from The A Method and their Amazon Store): is so kind and gentle on even on sensitive skin. This cleanser has a gentle bubbling effect that thoroughly cleanses the skin without ever stripping it or leaving it dry. Formulated for all type of skin, it leaves skin clean, soft, smooth and hydrated. However, it doesn't leave behind any sort of residue. It is gentle enough to use in the morning and evening each day. Purchase Again? I really enjoyed this cleanser, and never stopped using it once I opened it. However, I have many open bottles of facial cleansers that I need to use before I contemplate buying another one.

Annmarie Aloe Herb Cleanser ($35.50 for 1.7 oz and $58.00 for 3.4 from their Official Amazon Store): This is a lightweight and creamy Aloe Vera-based cleanser that thoroughly cleans the skin and leaves it soft, smooth and hydrated without feeling greasy or stripped. While it doesn't lather, it also lacks the heaviness of a cream cleanser. Instead, it behaves like a gel cleanser that washes clean. It has a wonderful light aroma informed by citrus, floral and herbal ingredients, and it is best described as pleasant and refreshing. It leaves my skin thoroughly cleansed and luminous, and it as effective as it is gentle. Suitable for all types of skin. Purchase Again? As I said above, I have far too many open facial cleansers to purchase another one, but I would definitely love to use this again in the future.

Aftelier Perfumes Geranium Cleansing Oil ($8.00 for 2ml. sample and $40.00 for 30ml from Aftelier Perfumes): This is a truly exemplary cleansing oil, the likes of which I have never experienced. My initial observations were informed by the disbelief that there was a permutation of geranium that was so otherworldly. One cannot sufficiently underscore the extent to which Mandy is an artist of rare genius, and this cleansing oil is a reminder of this fact. Geranium often has a sharp edge, but this golden elixir is warm, soft, slightly peppery and informed by a current of light floral notes. Mandy deftly selected each of the ingredients in perfect proportions, and the result is a balance of elements of which only she is capable. The aroma is the sublime embodiment of what geranium could only ever hope to be, and that could only be realized by Mandy.

The texture of this oil is impossibly silky and smooth, and its tactile effects are not only ultra-luxe, but it is likewise visceral in its ability to evoke unmitigated joy. Use of this cleansing oil, is therefore, profoundly experiential and it requires a slowing down, being present, and savoring every moment of its use. As you massage the oil into your skin, you will naturally be inclined to take long and deep breaths, and this will quiet the mind and soothe the senses. After massaging the skin, add a little warm water to emulsify this magical oil and then rinse with warm water and pat dry. Purchase Again? I would definitely purchase this again! A+

Aftelier Perfumes Vetiver & Frankincense Face Elixir ($8.00 for 1 ml and $75.00 for 20ml. from Aftelier Perfumes): I perpetually extol the virtues of Mandy Aftel's handmade Face Elixirs, and with each new addition to her perfectly articulated and curated collection she showcases the extent to which a boundless creative imagination and unmitigated brilliance can do what no one else can do. Aftelier Perfumes Vetiver & Frankincense Face Elixir is the most unexpected, sophisticated, refined and intoxicatingly beautiful permutation of Vetiver and Frankincense that could only have been imagined by Mandy. Her erudition is felt in the way in which her alchemical mastery pairs unexpected aromatic juxtapositions, and this new elixir perfectly underscores this point.

Mandy's brilliance is, in part, a function of this very ability to unite disparate elements into a singular unified heavenly elixir that is unprecedented in the vast sea of face oils. Each note, no matter how assertive, is tempered by the properties inherent in the other oils chosen. and her nuanced selections are a function of her intimate knowledge and intuitive ability to navigate thousands upon thousands of aromatic possibilities, and to then capture those most perfectly suited to her vision. She does not follow trends, and her standards exceed the expectations set by everyone else making face oils. This is one of the finest face oils you will ever try! Purchase Again? In a heartbeat, it's that amazing!

INDIE LEE Squalane Facial Oil ($38.00 for 1 oz. from INDIE LEE, Nordstrom, Ulta, Credo Beauty and Bluemercury): If you are a quality skincare fanatic, then you have probably been hearing a lot of buzz about Squalane-based products lately. Among the features for which it is hailed a must-have ingredient in your skincare: its lightweight and non-greasy texture, its ability to lock moisture into the skin, its serious anti-inflammatory properties, and the fact that it is good for a wide variety of skin types. The anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness, irritation and swelling– therefore making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin and skin that is susceptible to dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.  This is a very lightweight and fast absorbing oil that immediately sinks into the skin without leaving behind any sort of oily residue. It is formulated for normal, dry, combination and oily skin types, and it helps to relieve dryness, dullness and uneven texture. Unlike many facial oils, this is made from a single ingredient: 100% squalane that is olive-derived. It has no fragrance, and it has a lovely silky-smooth texture. It immediately improves hydration, helps to balance excessive oil production, plumps fine lines and soothes irritated skin. It is a wonderful choice to calm and heal post-peel and exfoliated skin, and it leaves it soft, smooth, supple and luminous. Purchase Again? Another bottle is in my future, but not until I finish up some of my open bottles of facial oils!

Curél Intensive Moisture Care Moisture Facial Milk ($22.50 for 4 oz. from the Curél Amazon Store): This is just my kind of moisturizer for the warm and hot weather. It is lightweight, fast-absorbing, fragrance-free, non-irritating and incredibly moisturizing without feeling heavy on the skin. While it is intended for dry and sensitive skin, my normal/combination skin really looks and feels great when I use this moisturizer! It comes in a huge 4 oz. bottle with a convenient and sanitary pump dispenser and it does everything that it claims to do. Furthermore, this wonderful and thoughtfully crafted Japanese skincare brand creates luxurious products that are actually affordable! Purchase Again? While I would definitely purchase this again, I can't justify buying any more moisturizers until I use up some of my open bottles and jars!

Overall Assessment: I really enjoyed using these products in March, and have already scoped out what I will be using in April! What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in March? Any really great discoveries to report? Any disappointments? Any over-hyped products that weren't worth buying? Do tell!
