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 …
Project Pan February 2019: My Beauty Empties
This is the second month of Project Pan, the effort to use up more than 100 products during 2019, that I am participating in with a group of other beauty bloggers. It’s a voluntary thing, and not everyone will participate every month. But you know I will! I am bound and determined to finish up …
A Rose Lovers Dream: Pixi Skintreats Rose Line
I have been dying to try at least some of the new Pixi Skintreats Rose products. And a lovely blogger friend, K., was so generous to send me a box of Pixi, jam-packed with rose skincare products. Thank you, thank you, K xoxo Usually, I will test skincare products for a month, but since the …
Recent Ulta Presidents Day Sale Small Haul
As often is the case, I took advantage of the recent Presidents Day sale at Ulta to replace a couple of items that I knew I am running out of and to try a couple of new things on sale. My favorite primer with skincare benefits is IT Cosmetics No. 50 Serum Anti-Aging Foundation Primer. …
Melt Cosmetics Gun Metal Eyeshadow Stack
I first learned about Melt Cosmetics on Phyrra.net. To be honest, it was the innovative product packaging that caught my eye. The stacks from Melt that come in a variety of color families are round stacks of 4 or 5 eyeshadow shades with a mirror on the top. I thought that they were attached to …

Victoria Emerson Freshwater Pearl Wrap Bracelet
I’m so glad that pearls have made a comeback. They may not always be used in the traditional strand, but instead pearls of all types are used in casual, affordable jewelry. I’ve been wearing my signature pearl studs for decades. I think they’re perfect for everyday. They always look neat and pretty. They go with …
My Therapeutic Bath and Shower After A Physically Demanding Day
Yesterday, I wrote about my afternoon of snow shoveling, and how Elixicure Pain Relief Roll-On and Cream came to my rescue by taking away the pain of my sore muscles (here). Today was another action-packed day of exertion. Because last night, it continued to snow lightly for a few more hours, another inch or so …
Elixicure Natural Pain Relief with CBD Oil and Essential Oils
Although I had hoped that we were done with snow this winter (we didn’t have a lot thankfully), I knew that would be too good to be true. It started snowing at about 1a.m. this morning and it has continued snowing lightly throughout the day. We got about 4 inches so far, and thank goodness, …
