I’ve mentioned this about a million times: outside of makeup, my love is jewelry and accessories. A girl can never have enough IMHO. In that spirit, I’ve teamed up with some of the gals from Fashion Flash, and I’m kicking off a series of giveaways that we’re hosting over the next week or so. I’m giving away …

Ipsy May 2017 Summer Friday
I think that Ipsy definitely continues to have the edge in the competition of inexpensive makeup subscriptions. I got another winner on Saturday from Ipsy: all makeup! Yay! The theme is Summer Friday. When I worked in advertising in New York, we had summer Fridays. At one agency, we got out on Friday at 1pm, at …

Here’s what …
News About The Georgette Klinger Skincare Reintroduction
Since I started Never Say Die Beauty, I have mentioned a number of times my love and nostalgia for the Georgette Klinger Salon and Spa on Madison Avenue in New York (post here). I learned about Georgette Klinger many years ago from my college roommate at Barnard who had perfect skin but whose mom was generous enough …

Beauty Junkees Launches Eye Shadow Singles to Mix and Match
Beauty Junkees is my favorite great quality, affordable brand bar none. I love their brushes and sponges – IMHO, they are the best value around. And over the past few months, they’ve launched makeup! A few weeks ago, I introduced you to their beautiful blushes (here) that fit nicely into their sturdy, well-made, affordable magnetic …
Freshening Up My Dresser with New Drawer Pulls
When I got my first apartment many years ago upon entering graduate school, I went home to my parents’ house and rented a van to bring furniture from the basement to my apartment in New York. I needed a dresser, so I took my grandfather’s highboy dresser. I never knew my grandfather because he died when he …

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist: Natural, Organic, Eco-Friendly
For the holidays, my friends Fintan and William gave me as part of my gift a Jurlique makeup case filled with travel size Jurlique skincare products. Jurlique was on my radar for some time, but I always have so many skincare products to test for review that it didn’t make sense for me to go …

Raw Gemstone & Crystal Artisan-Made Jewelry from Chrysalism for Mother’s Day or Any Day
In spite of being a beauty blogger, jewelry is my jam. Especially earrings. I must have over 100 pairs of earrings easily. When it comes to receiving a gift, earrings are always welcome IMHO. I am an earring addict. I can probably tell you how I acquired or for what occasion I received every single pair …
Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette
I’ve been wanting one of the Tarte round shadow palette for more than a year. The round shape really appeals to me. Every time Tarte has a sale I look at them, but up till recently I haven’t taken the plunge. The previous round palettes are great, but I already had similar shades. But when …
April 2017 Beauty Products I Used Up
In April, I used up fewer products but more full size products. I love recycling full size products! As usual, the vast majority are skincare products. Some are already repurchases. Here’s what I finished up and what I thought about them. EO Everyone Hand Soap, Meyer Lemon + Mandarin: I love EO products. They smell …
FOTD: Everyday Makeup 5 Minute Face in Spring Shades
I haven’t done a face of the day in ages. Instead of a review, I thought this might be a nice change of pace plus I’m using a few products that either I haven’t used in a long time or I’ve just purchased. Today was sadly a gray day for May 1. The only thing that …
