When it comes to body wash, something I use every day, I’m about two things: fragrance hydration. I love trying new brands and scents. This week, I’ve been using two different scents from Dial’s new “Silk &…” Moisturizing Body Wash collection: Silk & Ginger: a fresh spice blend Silk & Magnolia: an uplifting light, sweet …
The Weirdest Eye Primer Ever from Anastasia Beverly Hills
Since Urban Decay changed my former favorite Anti-aging Primer Potion a few years ago, I have been lost. I’m using the “new” one, but I don’t love it. The formula is sheerer than it was, and I dislike that it comes in a tube with a doe-foot applicator. I preferred the old rather opaque “flesh …
New Mineral Enriched Natural Deodorants from Crystal: Freshly Minted & Mountain Fresh
About four years ago, I switched 90% of the time from mainstream antiperspirants to natural deodorants. As the decades have gone by, I don’t perspire as much as I did when I was a teen. And over time, I began to get concerned about using an antiperspirant with aluminum in it every single day. I …

Are you planning on shopping on Amazon Prime Days? They are next week, Monday and Tuesday July 15-16, but some of the sales may start the night before, so keep your eyes peeled. I don’t know why, but I’ve never shopped Amazon Prime Days. However, this year, I may give it a go. What Amazon …
Anastasia Beverly Hills Summer Lipgloss, shade Barbie Pink
Lipgloss is my friend. It’s perfect for semi-perpetually dry lips like mine. I prefer opaque lipgloss that puts serious color on my lips so I don’t have to wear another lipstick underneath. One of my favorite brands of lipgloss is Anastasia Beverly Hills. In fact, I wrote about a gorgeous mauve shade that’s one of …
ColourPop Creamy Blushes: Blush Stix and Super Shock
I noticed that ColourPop introduced a new stick blush not too long ago. Because I love all things “cream”, I knew I would have to try it. I really like sticks too – be they concealer, eyeshadow, foundation, whatever – because they are so quick and easy to use. During the 30% off pre-July 4th …

Three Skincare Products with Vegan Squalane from Biossance
Our bodies produce a substance called squalene that helps moisturize our skin. In fact, we have quite a lot of it when we’re young. But once we hit our 30s, the amount our bodies produce begins to decrease. By 50, we produce 50% of what we used to produce. By 60, even less. Squalene is …
Project Pan Continues: June ’19 Beauty Empties

My Very Bad Day and End of June Fashion Flash
Ever have one of those days where so many things go wrong you just want to go to sleep? That’s been my day today. All kinds of annoying things. And I didn’t get enough sleep. This is my mood, grrrr. On Sunday night, I was trying to program my coffeemaker, but I forgot how to …
Kaja Beauty Bento Trio Look of the Day
I love classical music (I know I’m in the minority). I always have. One of the things I miss most about no longer living in New York are the concerts and opera. In the suburbs of Boston, there aren’t a lot of classical concerts. But in the summer, I look forward to the Rockport Chamber …

Savage x Fenty Lingerie Extra VIP Membership
Back in November, I wrote about my first experience ordering two bras from Rihanna’s lingerie brand, Savage x Fenty. I bought two different styles, Unlined Microfiber Demi Cup and Unlined Mesh Bra. I had never bought a bra online before that I had not tried on first. I was amazed: they both fit me perfectly! …
