This fall, I hardly wore nail polish at all because I was doing a lot of garden work. And as the temperatures got colder, my long summer nails broke. But after taking advantage of the pre-holiday sales, I have a lot of new polishes to try out. I was definitely in the mood for shimmer, …
What a crazy week! It was hard to keep track of which day was which. And here we are at the weekend again. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, if you celebrate. And a nice vacation week, if you were off from work. Now the new year is just around the corner. So if …
A couple of weeks ago, I received my December Glam Bag Plus from Ipsy, but I had so many other posts to get up that I didn’t get around to this one. But I’m happy to get to write about it now. The Glam Bag Plus doesn’t have a theme, and after this month, it’s …
I mostly shop for cosmetics during sales. There are enough sales these days that it’s not hard to wait. Ulta had two 20% off sale opportunities, and Sephora had a 20% off coupon for VIB. Sephora also had a $20 off $75 close to Christmas that I passed on since I had bought enough during …
I hope your Christmas was everything you hoped it would be! And I hope you’ve got the rest of the week off 😉 Today’s post will be short and sweet. This week’s host of Fashion Flash is Deb from No Nonsense Beauty Blog. The posts are a combination of holiday suggestions as well as looking …
My guess is no one is reading blogs on Christmas day (and probably on Christmas Eve for that matter). I’d like to take a moment to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, if this is the holiday that you celebrate, now rather than on Tuesday when you’re enjoying time with friends and family. …
I know for a lot of people, this is a very hectic holiday weekend. I hope that you’ve got your shopping done, your presents wrapped, your menu for Monday night and Tuesday planned, and everything in order. Or close to in order so you can enjoy the weekend. I hope you have lots of parties …
I always look forward to Zoya’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. They’re the best. This year on Black Friday, I bought four of the quads, 2 to give as gifts and 2 for me. At $9 for four polishes, they were a complete steal! Even at the regular $30 price, they’re a good deal. The two …
Several years ago, I bought what I thought was a beautiful peach metallic Revlon liquid eye shadow. I was smitten by the shade. I also thought that a creamy liquid would be great for my dry eyelids. Wrong. Even on top of eye primer, my dry lids were very unhappy: even drier and itchy. Since …
About a month or so ago, I wrote about one of my favorite natural facial moisturizers of the year, Cremeplexion Face Cream from Humboldt Soap Company. What I love most about Cremeplexion is the unique mousse-like consistency that makes it feel as light as a feather on my skin. It is not like any other …
Well, the countdown is on with Christmas just a week away! Hope you’re on target for a wonderful celebration! If you’re running around or letting your fingers run around online instead to get ready for the holiday, you may find a little last minute inspiration or at least a nice break checking out the most …
When it comes to the big ticket items, you know what’s best. But sometimes you’re looking for “a little something”, and I may have some ideas that might help. In addition to beauty products, I will mention some other cool stuff that I’ve come across. Cambridge Rainbow Color Titanium Plated Stainless Steel Flatware I’m in …
I tried my first Cargo product this summer when I bought a gorgeous red lipstick that came with white powder applied with a sponge tip on the other end of the slim tube to the center of my lips. It gives my lips a great contoured or dimensionalized look. I thought it was quite an …
How are your holiday preparations going? Still shopping? Still wrapping? Still menu planning? Or are you one of the lucky or organized ones who is all finished? Either way, there’s about 10 days to go. Yikes! If you’re still shopping for others or taking advantage for the discounts for yourself, check out today’s posts from …
The Body Shop Advent Calendar Well, maybe not the “news” exactly, but close. A few weeks ago, I reviewed my first Advent calendar ever: 24 Days of Enchanted Beauty from The Body Shop (reviewed here). The 24 Day Enchanted Beauty calendar was such a success it sold out, but now it’s back in stock. Actually, …
