Bitter Gold by Amanda Nail Serum is an amazing nail strengthening serum with a secret. It’s a translucent, odorless serum polish that goes on clear and magically disappears into the nail with nothing left behind except stronger nails. The serum contains a cocktail of ingredients: Silica and Biotin to strengthen and harden nails as they …
My Afternoon at the Beach, Worthwhile Makeup Sales and This Week’s Fashion Flash
Why I Don’t Have A Review Blogpost Today I had a choice yesterday: stay home and write a blogpost or go out for a long walk on the beach with my friend Laura. Not a very hard choice, right? It was a bright, sunny day in the 40s with some wind that was left over …
Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreens from Cotz and First Aid Beauty
As spring is on the horizon, I’m looking forward to spending more time outdoors. Although I often wear foundation if I’m going to some kind of social event, it’s nice to have a lightweight alternative for more casual occasions and everyday activities. Two have come my way recently. Cotz Face Moisture SPF 35 Like all …
Change the Clocks Beauty Spotlight Team 9 March 2019
We’re going on our annual outing for a maple sugar shack. Or as Jeff puts it, we’re driving 2 hours each way to have breakfast, lol. This year, we’re trying a new place on the New Hampshire-Vermont border. Stuart & John’s Maple Sugar Shack. It better be worth it! What’s on your agenda this weekend? Enjoy …
Coming Attractions on NSDB for Spring 2019
Instead of a review, today I’m doing a quick “Coming Attractions” over the next few months post! As you can see, I have a ton of skincare products to review. In order to adequately review most skincare products (except maybe cleansers and toners), I need to use the products for about a month. So I …
Physicians Formula Butter Lipstick and Butter Eyeshadow Palette, Sultry Nights
Physicians Formula is a brand that often catches my eye. But I’ve had some favorites and some fails. I still adore the heart Happy Booster Glow & Blush that I bought several years ago (reviewed here). It’s the cutest of the cute. The PF Butter Highlighter is still my favorite highlighter because it feels so …
Thinking Ahead to Beach Weather and Soft Lips with BreezeBalm Pineapple Lip Balm
This is what my neighborhood looks like now. We got a foot of snow on Sunday night/Monday morning. I spent Monday shoveling. Today was a bright sunny but 29 degree day. My friend Sue and I went snowshoeing in the woods nearby. It was fun, but definitely a lot of work. The snow was deep …
Molton Brown Limited Edition Muddled Plum Shower Gel
In January, I picked up a trio of limited edition Molton Brown shower gel scents in adorable holiday bauble packaging. I reviewed the Festive Bauble Set in order to let my readers know about the after holiday sale and to give my initial impressions. Since then I thought I’d come back and give you an …
News from Fashion Flash: We’re Growing!

Woohoo, City Lips Lip Plumping Gloss Gets An Update!
Back in 2014, I reviewed City Lips, a lip plumping gloss. City Lips plumps lips with a combination of hyaluronic acid, collagen-producing oligopeptides and natural oils and extracts. The formula doesn’t use potentially irritating ingredients like peppermint or cinnamon. City Lips makes lips look bigger by getting rid of dryness and making lips look juicier …
Two for One: Beauty Spotlight Team and Fashion Flash End of February 2019
This has been such a hectic week. We had some snow with big winds, and my friends lost their electricity. So they came to stay with me for a couple of days. I had some meetings, a bunch of medical appointments, more snow, and lots of shoveling. More snow on the way for the weekend …
Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer: No Way Rose
Just buy it already! I have been singing the praises of Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer for months, and I probably sound like a broken record (wow, people probably don’t say that anymore). But in spite of the fact that MT doesn’t have a lot of holos or thermals or tons of glitter polishes (they …
