I fell in love with Mally Highlighting Blush at first sight. I read a review of it online. Fortunately for me, it landed in my mailbox a couple of weeks later.

Cargo HD Lip Contour: Gimmick or Worth It?
Facebook must really love me ‘coz I’m a sucker for the ads they place in my feed. A couple of weeks ago, I saw an ad from Cargo Cosmetics, a brand I don’t buy very often for no particular reason. They were advertising a newish lipstick, Cargo HD Picture Perfect Lip Contour. What really caught …
Gearing Up for Fall Fashion Flash 11 September 2018

Battling Frizzy Hair in Summer with KMS Tame Frizz De-Frizz Oil
I’ve written about a million times about my thick, coarse hair. In the humidity of summer, add in frizzy. And then there’s swimming in salt water and jogging in the heat and what those activities do to my hair. August has been hot and humid, and when it hasn’t been sunny and humid, it’s been …
