Back in the spring, I bought IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation, a full-coverage powder foundation that intrigued me. I had never tried a powder foundation before. Somehow, I never got around to reviewing it. I found it at the bottom of my makeup bag, and I decided now’s the time to say a few words about …
This was another good month for empties. I guess you could say I finished up a bunch of random stuff. Skintimate Shave Gel This particular pink and floral scented shave gel from Skintimate was my favorite for many years. But the last time I stocked up at Costco, they had the Shick/Olay brand instead. So I …
After I saw a gorgeous blue drawstring bucket bag in a photo on The Fabzilla’s wonderful beauty blog, I’ve been on the look out for one for myself. I saw a beautiful turquoise bucket bag priced at a deep discount at Marshall’s in Boston, but the shoulder strap was waaaaaay too long for me so …

The Beauty Spotlight Team decided that it was time for its members to reveal some of their GUILTY PLEASURES, and since they didn’t have to be beauty related we were given considerable latitude about our choices. Helen, from Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog and one of my favorite and truly one of the most erudite beauty …
I’m a sucker for glitter, any glitter. So when I read a blogpost about China Glaze Fairy Dust Nail Lacquer and how it made everything better, I thought I had to have it. The blogpost was hysterically funny, and it really focused on the glitter. I needed to buy a salve on Amazon for my …
So many body lotions and lip balms have been coming my way lately. Word must have gotten out about my dry skin, lol. Today, I have products from the Savannah Bee Company from Savannah, Georgia to talk to you about. As you may remember, I’m a big supporter of honeybees. In fact, I am delighted …
Although I cook from scratch many nights, sometimes I employ delicious short-cuts paired with from scratch dishes to make an easy, but still memorable and yummy meal. This past winter, my favorite supermarket was sampling a new brand of artisan-style, thin crust pizza, Bon Appetit. I sampled a couple of the different varieties and liked …
Last winter, I picked up a couple of the Rimmel ScandalEyes eyeshadow sticks/crayons in taupe and brown matte shades.
