Groupon and Living Social both send me all kinds of deals on massages, facials, botox, manicures, pedicures, laser treatments, hair cuts and color. Lots of different beauty services. But lately I’ve been noticing more beauty products being sold at good prices. Last winter, I bought a Michael Todd KNU product at a deep discount. Even …

Milani has jumped on the bandwagon and is introducing the limited edition Bedazzled collection of gel eyeliners, nail lacquers and lipsticks with gemstone …
New Posts from Beauty Blog Coalition 21 September 2014
If you read my weather rant yesterday, I’m happy to say that it has warmed up a bit. It’s now warmer outside than in my house! I am glad that I brought in one of my tender potted plants on Friday night, because we woke up to frost on Saturday morning. I can’t remember ever …

Sometimes I carp about an item or two or three in my monthly ipsy bag, but this month ipsy hit it out of the park. Score! I liked and will use everything in the bag. Woohoo! The September bag was called “Street Style”, and I think it was supposed to be in tune with New …
FOTD: Quick Everyday No-Makeup Makeup Look
The no-makeup makeup look seems to be everywhere at the NYFW. I grew up during one of the first no-makeup times, so it’s very familiar to me. Though I can’t say it’s my favorite, it is one that I turn to over and over again. Out here in the ‘burbs, I feel a little conspicuous …

Beauty Blogazons 14 September 2014 Weekly Roundup
Hi Ladies, It’s super-late. I just got back from the home of some friends whose mom/M-I-L was visiting from Algeria.

Here’s this week’s weekly roundup from Beauty Blogazons. NSDB’s …
SOBO Ultra Age Repairing Cream with Reservatrol
For some time, I have wanted to try a skincare product with reservatrol. I first heard about reservatrol in conjunction with red wine.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale Fall 2014
Finally, I received my Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale catalogue yesterday afternoon. The day before the sale starts is kinda late! I took a drive over to Ulta on Saturday morning to ask for a catalogue, but they didn’t have any they could give out. Weird. Anyway, I was happy that it arrived just …
