Too Faced 3 Way Lash Lining Tool
Instrument of torture or useful lash lining tool? I tightline my eyes every day, or just about every day. With my blonde lashes, my eyes don’t have enough oomph without eyeliner and mascara. However, I often think that black eyeliner on me is too harsh. On the other hand, tightlining – creating a line between …

“Up All Night” Limited Edition Makeup by One Direction
When I was a preteen or young teen, I don’t remember if there were internationally-famous boy bands or not because, in my town, we had our own boy band, Teddy and the Pandas! We all loved them, and it was easy to go to dances where they were playing since they were right in town. They …
Jesse’s Girl “The Eyes Have It” Palette
When I was in Atlanta on business a few weeks ago, I forgot my sleeping pills. Major bummer. I ended up with a semi-sleepless night the first night I arrived because I didn’t realize I forgot them till too late to do anything about it. The next day, my friend, Kim, was kind enough to …
LOTD: Orange, My Go-To Summer Shade
Orange is really hot this summer. As a redhead, I can definitely wear orange. And coral is one of my all-time favorite shades. Since we’re into the heart of summer now, and some bloggers are already showing looks for fall, I figured I’d better get going and do a look-of-the-day featuring orange. While I was in …

My Secret Weapon: Skin Script Glycolic and Retinol Pads
Back in February, I got to spend almost a week in Phoenix on business. Because the weather was so iffy in the Boston area, I went out three days before my business actually started. How lucky to have 3 extra days in the sunshine and warm weather! I was also lucky because I got to …

Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup 26 July 2014
Wow, it’s the weekend again! I wish the summer would just slow down and take it easy and last longer. I love this time of year. When I’m out in the yard, thoughts of the long, snowy, dark winter and hours of shoveling flit about in my mind. But that’s months off. I’ve gotta enjoy …
July 2014 Sensationally Sunkissed ipsy Bag
My July ipsy bag arrived last Saturday. The theme this month is “Sensationally Sunkissed”. The makeup bag is hot pink, and it has pinked edges. Another blogger described it as looking like a “ravioli”. That really made me laugh, but I like it anyway. I think it’s cute and fun for summer. My pink clear plastic …
