Recently, I read a review for Essie Gel Couture on Plastic Bows beauty blog and on another blog that I can’t remember. Both blogposts featured a shade that’s one of my all time favorites. Essie calls it Sew Me, shade 30, and describes it as “cream caramel rose”. I’d say it’s shell pink. It’s part of …
All my subscriptions came on time or early this month. I already wrote about my terrific September ipsy bag. And to follow up on my missing product with points, ipsy said they couldn’t replace it but they were sending me something else. It hasn’t arrived yet, and my fingers are crossed that it isn’t a …
I’ve made no secret of my love for FarmHouse Fresh’s fabulous food-inspired natural skincare products. I have loved every product I’ve tried so far. And though still three months away, the holidays and gift-giving season will be here before we know it. FarmHouse Fresh in general, and the two products I’m writing about today are …
A month ago, I wrote about my Tarte haul during their 30% off sale. I was looking for things from Tarte to try, and I found the very attractive Lip Sculptor, gold cased, double-ended lipstick and gloss-in-one that’s great for travel or for just carrying in my purse. I bought the shade, Sass, a gorgeous mauve, just …
Recently, I was asked to join Fashion Flash, a group of fabulous women bloggers who blog on a variety of topics specifically targeted to 40+ women. While I love beauty and I know you do too, I have other interests as well and I’m sure you do as well. Fashion Flash is made up of …
Sponsored Post on behalf of Groupon. But all my opinions and experiences are honest and my own. I’ve written about my love for Groupon in the past: their coupons, great deals on beauty products.

Over the past several weeks, I saw several blogposts showing off the new Washington DC collection from OPI. It’s an election themed collection (as if we need more reminders :roll:), and the colors are fall type colors IMHO. I fell hard for Freedom of Peach. OPI may call it peach, but I would call it …
I forgot how much I love pressed powder mineral makeup. It is so quick and easy to apply. It acts as both foundation and concealer. And it feels like silk on my skin. How wonderful to receive a surprise package from PUR Cosmetics today with two compacts of their 4-in-1 Pressed Powder Mineral Makeup …
My August ipsy bag just showed up a couple of weeks ago, but I got my new September bag yesterday. Unfortunately, it was missing the Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick from Bare Minerals that I redeemed my points for at the end of July. Boo hoo. I really wanted that lipstick!! After contacting ipsy to let …
A few days ago, I mentioned that I restocked my signature scent, Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle, at Barney’s in order to qualify for the Barney’s NY “glowing” Fall Beauty Bag. To make the minimum to qualify for the bag, I needed a small additional purchase, and in doing so, I came upon a lovely …
Greetings from Lake Lure NC! It is hot, hot, hot here! It truly is 95 degrees during the day. Today, Jeff and I went out on the lake in a kayak for two. I was amazed to learn that this big lake was man-made. A visionary in the late 1920s turned farmland into a gorgeous …
Barney’s NY Fall 2016 Beauty Bag Yesterday, I went into Boston to Vidal Sassoon to get my hair re-reded. It worked out perfectly because it was the first day of the Barney’s NY Fall Beauty Event when they give out their beauty bag chock full of goodies with a $200 minimum purchase. The event ends …
We’re into September, but I haven’t posted anything about my three $10 beauty subscriptions from August. So I’ll do one post on all three. Let’s see which one did the best in August. Birchbox Birchbox always gets delivered first. That’s a plus. It’s a cute box with fun colors and patterns that remind me …
