Have you ever been really excited to try something, and when you get it, you’re kind of let down? I think that’s how I feel about IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation. When I saw that IT’s new Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer SPF 50+ had a somewhat expanded shade range that included the new …
Beauty Empties for April 2018
Going away for 10 days really cut in to the number of beauty products I finished up in April, but I’m already making up for it in May. Importantly, I finished up a huge jar that was taking up too much room in my bathroom. Let’s see what I finished and what’s worth repurchasing. EO …
Kneipp Body Wash, Almond Blossom
Personal care products are some of my favorite things to bring back after traveling abroad. When Jeff and I went to The Hague to go to art museums, I needed to find saline solution for my contact lenses. I guess saline isn’t popular in Holland because I went to so many different stores trying to …
More from Butter LONDON’S Glazen Line: Blush and Eye Gloss Mini Set
In early April, I wrote about my experiences with Butter LONDON’S Glazen Eye Gloss in Moonstone. As a cream makeup lover, I am a big fan of this weird, bouncy, mousse or gelĂ©e consistency that’s best applied with my fingers. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought two more Glazen products: blush …
Fashion Flash for the Start of May 2018
Spring has finally arrived to the formerly frozen north, and my gardens are abloom making up for the slow start to the season. It’s the best my flowering trees have looked in years. I am thrilled! This week it’s my privilege to host Fashion Flash, the online digital magazine for women over 40 that’s chockfull …
Beauty Spotlight Team 5 May 2018
This was a fast and, for me, somewhat confusing week. I was mixed up about the date and the time. My sleeping patterns aren’t completely back to EDT yet. I guess Mailchimp, the service that delivers my blogposts, must have been having a tough time too because they forgot to deliver my post from yesterday …
LovelySkin.com: Great Retailer for Mother’s Day or Any Day!
I discovered LovelySkin.com a couple of years ago while searching for the best price on a skincare product that I wanted to buy. My order was filled quickly, there’s free shipping always, I got a 20% off discount that they send with each purchase, and I was completely satisfied with my shopping experience. In addition, …
RITUALS The Ritual of Sakura Soothing Hand Balm: A Dutch Brand!
I’m a big fan of RITUALS Sakura, cherry blossom, bath and body products. I have used three cans of their Foaming Shower Gel (though I have had a problem with the nozzle), and I adore my Sakura Bath and Body Mist. The light, somewhat sweet cherry blossom scent is one of my favorite everyday scents …
I’m Back with Tulip Pix from Holland!
Well, our trip trip to Amsterdam and Holland is sadly over, but we have lots of great memories and photos. I know this is a beauty blog and not a travel blog, but – if you’re interested – I’d like to share some of the highlights from our Dutch trip over the next couple of …
