During Sephora’s sale in early May, I was browsing the store – always a dangerous thing for me to do. The 15% off for VIB isn’t that big a discount, but the siren song of skincare products and makeup gets me every time. One of the new products I came home with is Rose Hydrating …
This was a beautiful spring week, here in Massachusetts. My garden is at its spring peak! This week, I cut down and dug up a huge 15 year old golden mop cypress that sadly bit the dust. I’m so proud that I did it myself! I’m replacing it with a stunning rhododendron with deep purple …
Artis brushes with their oval velvety “bristles” called a fiber bundle have been popular for several years now. I’ve been so curious about them, but the price has kept me from taking the plunge. Back in October, I received a knockoff Artis-style “velvet” brush as part of a giveaway I was hosting. It was an …
Scalp-oriented shampoos and conditioners have been having more than a moment. They’ve been quite the thing for more than a year. When they first came out, I avoided them because I didn’t have dandruff. But I do have dry hair and a relatively dry scalp that occasionally feels itchy. Since scalp-focused haircare first arrived on …
While I was waiting for my appointment at the ophthalmologist today, I was browsing through the June 2019 issue of ELLE magazine. I came across an article by Kate Foster about a new-to-me beauty procedure, “Lip Blushing”. I googled lip blushing, and it appears that lip blushing, a form of permanent makeup, has been around …
This week, our Fashion Flash hostess is Inka from Glamour Granny Travels. I love that she’s based in Europe, so we get a different perspective. And Inka always has the inside scoop on European travel. If you’re traveling to Europe this summer, be sure to check out her blog! So what can you expect from …
Essences are my jam. They are so lightweight that you don’t know you’re wearing them, and they add more hydration. How can you argue with that? I just finished a hydrating essence that I liked a lot, Airelle Age-Defying Facial Serum (reviewed here), but it’s a splurge and I can’t do it right now. I …
I’ve just finished the fifth month of Project Pan, the blogger initiative where a group of us make our individual goals for finishing up beauty products during 2019. I’m not sure how many of the bloggers are still participating, but I’m still going strong. Although I didn’t use up as many products this month as …
There is evidence that fragrances affect one’s mood, and I’m a true believer. I love diffusing different essential oils in my home to help me relax, get focused, slow down before going to sleep, or get energized. Recently, I received a new diffuser and set of essential oils from Gurunanda. I wrote about how much …
You probably know that I’m a big fan of lipgloss. I love the shine. And I especially love how it helps keep my dry lips hydrated. When it comes to lipgloss, I strongly prefer the opaque glosses. My favorite glosses are from Anastasia Beverly Hills and Mirabella. I love them because I don’t have to …
I hope you had a wonderful and meaningful Memorial Day and weekend. I had planned to get a blogpost up today, but then life happened and I didn’t get a chance. Instead, here is this week’s edition of Fashion Flash hosted by Mirabai, Certified Health Coach & Certified Exercise Physiologist, and editor of Moving Free. …
Here’s this week’s roundup from the bloggers of Beauty Spotlight Team. Have a wonderful long weekend if you’re in the U.S. and think about the vets who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. xoxo Boxwalla released their “A Summer in Hangzhou” June Beauty Box featuring 2 full-size products from 5YINA– that you don’t want …
National Sunscreen Day for 2019 is on Monday, May 27, but since that is also Memorial Day, I thought I’d get a jump on it. Memorial Day is often considered the start of the summer season even though we have a month more spring to go. Even in chilly Massachusetts, I’m starting to spend more …
I’m still delighted with my subscription to Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, the monthly subscription that sends me at least 5 full size cosmetics worth well over $100 every month for $25. I have used just about every item that I’ve received. Even the very few that didn’t suit me I enjoyed trying anyway. Plus there’s …
