Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer: Is This Blur Cream Worth It?
One surprising side effect of having cataract surgery in my right eye is that when I first looked in the mirror, I saw what I really look like. Kind of a shock, to be honest. The white gauzy scrim that I had been looking through for quite a while made me think my skin was …

My New Batacuda Black Necklace, A Tattoo Wannabe that I Love!
The beauty blogger, Jen from My Beauty Bunny, posted a photo of herself wearing a fabulous black necklace. I had never seen anything like it. It had flourishes and curlicues, and it was fabulous in a baroque, Steampunk way. I asked her where she got it, but she said her husband gave it to her …
Sephora Now Makes A Gloss Version of Their Fab Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick!
I stopped into Sephora to buy something during the VIB sale at the end of last week so that I would qualify for VIB status in 2020. I only had to spend $8 to re-qualify, so I didn’t want to buy online and pay as much for the shipping as for my purchase. I planned …

My First Experience with Lash Tinting
Next week, I’m having cataract surgery. They only do one eye at a time. So my right eye is first, and my left eye a month later, if everything goes well with the right eye. I’m a nervous Nellie, even though everyone says it’s no big deal (except my doctor who feels that every surgery …
Things Change: Estee Lauder Double Wear Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner
Six or seven years ago I’m guessing, I bought an Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Eyeliner pencil in a medium gray shade called Graphite. I loved this shade because it was dark enough but not black, and it looked good with my blue-gray eyes. It was a traditional wooden pencil that I have to sharpen. …

After Dr. Barnes’ death in 1951, the trust he created stated that the collection must stay exactly as it was when he was alive. The works were idiosyncratically arranged by …
