Ipsy made a couple of changes to their Plus box. First, they allow you to choose one of your products now. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll bother next month. I don’t like to know what the products are in advance. Plus I’m not 100% sure, but I think the products that I was …
Luster Premium White 2 Minute White Dental Whitening & Refill Kit Redux

Derma E Giveaway Winners & Beauty Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup
Hello beauty fans! We had a big wind and rain storm on Wednesday night and Thursday. In addition to losing my electricity, landline phone, internet and cable, one of my three lovely Bradford pear trees lost a huge limb that represents about half the tree. Fortunately, it didn’t fall on my house. But it weighs …
CVS Health Biotin 10,000 mcg Dietary Supplement
I know I’ve mentioned a couple of times that in early June I got my thumb stuck in a folding outdoor chair. It was incredibly painful. And because I was home alone, I had to figure out how to get my thumb unstuck without breaking my thumb. I managed to get it out, but I …
Heart-Shaped Love Is The Foundation IT Cosmetics Brush for Ulta: October Beauty for a Cause
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and pink is everywhere. While most women are already “aware” of breast cancer, I think of this month as an opportunity to remember my dear dad who died from breast cancer years ago, make sure my mammogram appointment is up to date as well as to donate to the …

National Handbag Day and My New Dome Satchel from Gianni Bernini
I’m a day late and a dollar short. When I wrote this yesterday – Thursday – it was National Handbag Day. So I thought I’d share my handbag bargain for Fall that I scored at Macy’s last week. When I was in the store the week before, I strolled through the bag department, and my …
Belated Fashion Flash Mid-October Edition
If you’ve wondered where I’ve been this week, boy, was I sick! My garden variety cold turned at least 10 times worse after I had my annual physical on Monday. My doctor suggested that I wait on my flu shot, but for some reason she recommended that I get a pneumonia shot. Four hours later, …
Skincare Products I’m Loving This Fall
I don’t think I’ve done a current favorites post in ages, so why not now? As always, there are many terrific beauty products out there, and favorites are very personal, but what the heck! I started out thinking I was going to do a general favorites post, but it was getting too long, so here …

Beauty Empties for September: Project Pan Update
Even though last month I met my goal of using up 100 beauty products in 2019 (I’m at 101 actually), I’m back again with my empties from September. I’m hoping that maybe I can tack on an additional 25 products by year’s end. Here’s what I used up last month: Neocell Ceramides Skin Hydrator (capsules): …
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effects Mascara
For the past few years, I have mostly been using Benefit mascaras: They’re Real, Badgal Bang and Roller Lash. I also like a mascara from MAC, but it was discontinued this year. Recently, a woman in Phyrra’s Facebook group was singing the praises of Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara from affordable brand, Essence. I …
