I love fragrances all year round not just for myself but also for my home. I really get into it once autumn comes round. And for the holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas time – it’s a must! I love the warm and spicy scents especially for my kitchen, bathrooms and family room. Because I have asthma, …
About a year ago, I saw a couple of skincare products from Whish Body in a blog review. They looked so appealing. I made note. A few weeks ago, I was given a chance to try out two products from Whish. I chose the Rice Milk Hand Remedy and the Coconut Milk Shave Cream with …
Seldom does this happen. But after receiving an email with an announcement ad for the Limited Edition IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Must-Have Eye Set, I immediately had to move on this. Usually I ruminate for ages, but not this time. The original Naturally Pretty Vol. 1 Matte Luxe Transforming Palette (IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Vol. 1 Matte …
November is National Skincare Month – I didn’t realize there was such a thing! For me, every month is skincare month. But I think it’s a good thing to rethink your skincare routine and also be sure you’re using sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. So it’s a perfect time to talk about another great product …
Happy Weekend! What have you been up to? On Saturday, Jeff and I went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts to see the Dutch painting exhibit. We were very excited about that, and it was a great show featuring Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, van Dyck, Ter Borch! But it was extremely crowded. Afterwards, we headed to …
The Beauty Spotlight Team is continuing to introduce its members by sharing their “Guilty Pleasures”. Kristina from The Feminine Files has perfect lips. Every lipstick I’ve ever seen her wear is perfection on her. She should be a lipstick model. I’m not kidding. So I am eager to see if her guilty pleasures have anything …
I love colored mascara so when I had a chance to try out Youngblood Outrageous Lashes Mineral Lengthening Mascara in new cobalt blue, I jumped. Although one of the “rules” of makeup is that if you have blue eyes, you should avoid blue eye makeup. Well, I beg to differ. Blue eye makeup, especially eyeliner …
I love subscription boxes but I only have experience with a few of them. So I was thrilled when the October Beauty Box 5 arrived in the mail at the end of last week! The theme of the box adopts the famous phrase by famed fashion designer of the 1940s-50s Elsa Schiaparelli, “Think Pink”. It’s …
Christie Brinkley has been a role model just about all my life. I remember her well from her days as a cover girl for Seventeen and then Glamour magazine. While I look nothing like her unfortunately, her brand of fresh-faced American beauty has been an inspiration. I was excited when I found out she was …
Amore Matte Lip Creme This fall, Milani came out with what was going to be a limited edition but now – from what I’ve heard – is thankfully a permanent collection, Amore Matte Lip Creme. I managed to get my hands on 5 of the 8 shades. Just this week, I found one of …
I own about 20 different concealers. Truth. I actually counted them not long ago, and I was surprised that I had accumulated so many! But I also found out that there’s now a name for having so many different concealers: a concealer wardrobe! I am definitely on trend. It’s certainly not necessary to have 20 different …
So, how was your Halloween? After an afternoon spent doing yard work, I didn’t have the energy to do a full costume. I put on some makeup and a witch hat, and that was it. How ’bout you? Did you dress up? This year because Halloween was on a Saturday night, I thought there would be …
First off, congratulations to Christy P.D., the winner of the Maleficent Makeup Bag and Assorted Cosmetics giveaway on my blog! Yay! I have emailed Christy a couple of times, and hopefully, I’ll get a reply from her at some point today. If I don’t hear back from her, another name will be chosen by Rafflecopter. …
October and November are the pumpkin months. Pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin-flavored stuff are everywhere. I had my first pumpkin bread of the season last night (I’m behind schedule). Earlier in October, Jeff and I went to the Topsfield Fair and saw the winner of this year’s Biggest Pumpkin of the Season Contest – it weighed …

Instead of making skincare and makeup that inflames skin and ages it faster, Dr. Ben Johnson (who’s really cute, BTW!) created a line of skincare and color cosmetics that are actually good for skin and help skin look and act younger. Sign me up for that! Osmosis Skincare products …
