I know I keep doing this – I keep coming up with more little gift and stocking stuffer ideas, but I can’t help it 😉 Especially when they’re great products and on sale! Back in September, I reviewed the new MyChelle Lip Hints that I received in a lovely Sheer shade (reviewed here). Since then, …
Hair Rx: Custom Hair Care
Now that the holidays are here, we all want our hair to look its best. A great cut and, for some of us, fresh color give us a boost of confidence during party season. But taking care of our hair with a great shampoo, conditioner and oils on a regular basis are the backbone of …

Ultra Violet: Pantone Color of 2018
I know a lot of purple lovers will be rejoicing at this year’s pick for the Pantone Color of 2018: Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple. Pantone says they have not chosen a purple with royal associations but one associated with imagination, inventiveness and creativity. It’s also associated with a mystical, spiritual quality and getting away …
Affordable, Natural Skincare with Hyaluronic Acid for Dry Skin from Derma E
Winter is on the way, if not here already. If you live in a cold climate like I do, that means stepping up your skincare routine. And if you have very dry skin like I do, you probably always have hydration on the brain! Derma E, the affordable natural skincare company, sent me two new-to-me …
Stocking Stuffers and Small Gifts for Holidays 2017
There are about 20 million holiday gift guides out there, so you don’t really need another one from me. Also, when it comes to purchasing a significant gift for a friend or family member, you probably don’t need help. But when it comes to small gifts or stocking stuffers, I think I can suggest some …
Get The Holiday Glow: Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Highlighter
About a month or so ago, I panned Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blush (reviewed here).

In spite of my experience with the Butter Blush, I found the Physicians Formula …

Truly Full Coverage Foundation: Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about two new foundations, one from Fenty and the other from Huda Beauty. Fenty doesn’t seem to have a good color match for me, and I’m not sure the formula is right for my dry skin anyway. Plus the shades that might be close to my skin tone …

November 2017 Beauty Empties
I’m trying really hard to finish things up and give things away when I can. I have way too much stuff. So I was glad to make some more progress in November. Let’s take a look at what worked for me and what didn’t.  Makeup NYX Whipped Fouetté Lip & Cheek Souffle, shade Plush: …

Laneige Good Night Kit: Sleeping Masks for Face and Lips
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have really, really dry lips, and though I can use “normal” lip balms during the summer, when the cold weather hits, Dr. Lipp Miracle Balm and Hanalei Lip Treatment work best for me (reviewed here and here). So before I …
