I received my January Ipsy Glam Bag Plus about three weeks ago, but one of the items that wasn’t wrapped in bubble wrap arrived smashed. Fortunately, Ipsy said they would replace it, and I just received the replacement the other day. It came in a padded raspberry pink metallic envelope that we all associate with …

Groundhog’s Day 2019 Beauty Spotlight Team
Today is Groundhog’s Day. It was my father’s birthday, so it always was a day of jokes and good times. I’m guessing that the ground hog in Pennsylvania will predict 6 more weeks of winter, ‘coz that seems to be what happens every year. But as I’ve been saying for the past week or so, …
