About three years ago, I made the switch to natural deodorants. I wanted to avoid aluminum and other chemicals in the anti-perspirants I had been using since I was about 11. Although I don’t perspire as heavily as I did when I was young, I still want to be odor-free and I’m often on the …
Kiehl’s Dynamic Duo: Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask and Midnight Recovery Serum
When it comes to facial masks, I can’t get enough. I have so many it’s ridiculous. All different types. All different benefits. But I only get a professional facial maybe once or twice a year, so I try to do the best I can to take care of my skin at home. I’d like to …

Creamy Mousse Shadow: butter LONDON Glazen Eye Gloss
This time around, Ulta 21 Days of Beauty didn’t have all that much that attracted me. I was hoping that they’d have more new products, but it seemed to me that there were mostly old favorites.

Beauty Spotlight Team 7 April 2018

Have You Tried A Rubber Mask? Masqueology Intensive Moisturizing Two-Step Rubber Mask
I’m not the biggest fan of sheet masks though I do use them from time to time because they provide such variety. My complaint with the paper sheet masks is that they don’t stay put on my face unless I lie down, and they don’t fit me so well. So when I received a new …
Crystalline Holographic Goodness from Jesse’s Girl GlowStix Lip Gloss
The trend toward crystals, unicorns and holographic everything shows no signs of abating, and that’s fine with me. I love things that shift colors and glow. And when they’re affordable, that’s even better. How exciting that Jesse’s Girl has just launched 6 new shades in new packaging of its award-winning GlowStix holographic lip gloss! The …

Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a lovely holiday weekend. I did, though I was surprised to wake up on Monday morning to see a fresh coating of snow with more coming down. Thankfully, it melted by afternoon. This week, Deb from No Nonsense Beauty Blog is hosting Fashion Flash again, and you can click on …
March 2018 Beauty Empties
I did a particularly good job in March, and I’m happy to have quite a few items to recycle including a lot of full size things that I’ve had for a long time. I’m also tossing 3 items that have expired. Â Skincare Although I think last month was different, skincare is the big category …

The March 2018 Sephora Play bag is themed “Festival of Beauty” in concert (pardon the pun) with Coachella and other spring festivals. This month’s goodies came in a blue cottony bag with “Beauty Is My Spirit Animal” on it. Let’s see what I got. Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30: I wrote about this …

Friday Find: By Terry Baume de Rose Lip Balm
Recently, I was going through the samples and travel size goodies that I received when I made a purchase at Barney’s NY during either their spring or fall beauty promotions. I don’t shop at Barney’s very often, but that’s where I buy my favorite perfume. I try to make sure I buy it during one …

Turn Back the Clock with StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum
When it comes to turning back the hands of time, I have realistic expectations. In fact, I’ve been better at slowing them than at turning them back, but I am up for trying anything that could help me do either one. New StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum is unlike any other serum I’ve …
