As you recall, I was disappointed in the shade, Evoke, a brown-copper lipgloss from Melt Cosmetics. During the winter, I bought Séance, a gorgeous rose gold. I loved the shade, but it migrated into the lines around my mouth. Wearing it with MAC Prep + Prime Lip Base seemed to solve that problem. After the …
Hope you are having a pleasant Memorial weekend, if you’re in the U.S. Jeff and I have had a fun but quiet weekend. Yesterday, we went for a 10.5 mile bike ride, a record for me so early in the season. It was only my 3rd ride, and biking wearing a mask is not so …
I haven’t been buying much when it comes to beauty products lately, but every now and then I see something that I need or that’s a great price. Last week, I ordered another Melt Metal Lipgloss for $5, and yesterday I placed an order with one of my favorite bath and body brands, RITUALS, for …
Oftentimes my Aunt Sheila comes to visit for Memorial or July 4 weekend and sometimes both. This year, nothing is normal. I called her this evening to catch up. She’s been doing jigsaw puzzles, watching Netflix, reading, and walking around the block for a mile or mile and a half. I feel bad that she …
After I figured out how to keep Melt Metal Gloss in the gorgeous rose gold shade, Séance (reviewed here), from straying from my lips with MAC Prep + Prime Lip Base (reviewed here), I decided to buy another Metal Gloss when Melt had a “reopening” sale recently. It was a good sale. The regular price …
In late September last year, two of my friends and I took a drive to seaside Newburyport MA to spend the warm, sunny, late summer day browsing and shopping in the boutiques in that super cute historic town. We didn’t go crazy spending money. In fact, each of us only bought a couple of inexpensive …
A couple of years ago, I got a tube of Glyderm Gentle Face Cleanser in a goody bag/gift with purchase at dear departed Barneys NY. I put the tube in my travel bag and got to use it every now and then when I was away from home. Not long ago, I finally used up …
The weekend flew by, and it’s Monday again. I know this is going to be a week of change for some of our states. In MA, we won’t know till this afternoon about how our state will start a slow process of reopening. For me, I’m staying home still. On Saturday, Jeff and I went …
Jen over at Laugh, Love Contour decided to revisit her #TBTBeauty series this week as a tribute to Little Richard. Six years ago, Colors by Llarowe released the stunning Good Golly Miss Molly, and Jen opted to dig it out of her stash to celebrate the life of the rock’n’roll legend. If you are looking …
Ipsy is sending out the monthly Plus glam bag a little earlier in the month these days. I got my May “Get That Glow” bag a few days ago. The makeup bag is really cute this month. It looks like the glow of the sun as it rises or sets in the sky. And the …
Green Tea is the perfect spring time ingredient. The freshness, the green color give me a lift just thinking about it. As a skincare ingredient, the antioxidant green tea extract has been shown to provide many benefits: e.g. helps diminish the signs of aging, is an anti-inflammatory that calms and soothes redness and swelling, evens …
I was ordering a replacement for my almost empty Tony Moly CHOK CHOK Green Tea Watery Essence at Macy’s during a recent sale, and I needed to spend a little bit more to get free shipping. So I decided to buy a mini MAC Satin Lipstick for $10, and I chose the shade, Twig. Twig …
How embarrassing, it makes sense to read about a product before buying it. Ya think? About a year ago, I heard about Peach & Lily Glass Refining Serum and the Korean “glass skin” phenomenon. Glass skin is skin that appears poreless, smooth, translucent, and glowing. Who doesn’t want that, right? In my mind, I decided …

I’ve been using Theraderm Anti-Aging Lip Complex for a couple of months now, and I’ve had such good results with my finicky dry lips that I was eager to try some more of dermatologist Dr. James Beckman’s skincare products (see my earlier post for more information on Dr. Beckman and the Theraderm brand). For the …
