When there’s a sale at City Beauty, that’s when I do my shopping. A couple of weeks ago, they were promoting my favorite lip balm and lip plumper, City Lips, at 40% off plus a free colored City Lips. Of course, I bought a back up Clear City Lips for my stash. Though they started out …
Dog Days of Summer Fashion Flash
It really is the dog days of summer. I got an email from the beach club in Gloucester announcing that we’re almost half way through August, and the beach club will be closing on Labor Day. Yikes. I had only been to the beach 4 times this summer. So late this afternoon, instead of writing …
A Great Fall Shade from Expressie All-in-One Nail Polish
A few weeks ago, I showed you my first polish purchase from Essie’s Expressie, quick drying polish line (here).

Staying Cool with No Sweat Sweat Absorbing Disposable Hat Liners
Because of my red color-treated hair that fades in the sun, in the shower, in all kinds of situations, I have to do what I can to at least try to slow down the fading. In the summer when I’m outdoors a lot, sometimes all day, it is imperative that I wear a hat. Though …
Bye Bye July Beauty Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup
Oh gosh, it’s August 1 already! This weird summer is passing too quickly. Already I’ve begun to notice that the sun sets substantially earlier than it did a few weeks ago. I want August to go by very slowly and have lots of good weather. I hope you have a good weekend wherever you are. …
