If you have time, take a peek at our final Beauty Spotlight Team weekly roundup for 2023. Angie has some great suggestions for …
Lucky Chick Lip Love Treatment
Lucky Chick Lip Love Lip Treatment is one of those cosmetics that I received a couple of months ago in my Ipsy Boxycharm box that I didn’t give much thought to. In fact, when I took it out of the box, I sort of groaned because I must have about a million lip balms. But …
Porta by TYMO Portable Hair Straightening & Curling Brush
The last time I went to Sassoon to get my hair cut, I decided to go back to my tried and true, longer, flipped hairstyle. I saw a video of a young girl in London getting what the stylist called a 60s haircut. She looked great, and though I certainly don’t look like her, it …
Merry Christmas!

“The Best Makeup for Older Women” via Readers Digest
How are your holiday preparations going? Though Christmas may not officially be my holiday, it is the big one for most of my friends! I am way behind on gift wrapping and sending out cards. So that’s what I am going to be doing tonight! Instead of writing my own post, I am including a …
Korres Black Pine 360° Eye-Lift Super Serum
Korres has become one of my favorite skincare brands. From Greece and made with natural ingredients including plants from Greece, I find Korres gentle, effective and relatively affordable. During Korres’ 40% off sale around Black Friday, I bought a few items. Also, I had signed up for their loyalty points program, and I managed to …
Mid-December ’23 Beauty Spotlight Team
Enjoy your weekend! Hope you are not spending it doing holiday shopping! My friend who just moved to D.C. is visiting. We’re planning to do a hike or a walk this afternoon. And this evening, we’re going to the Cape Ann Museum holiday cocktail party. I’m psyched. Hope you will have a chance to check …
Flawless Facial Hair Remover by Finishing Touch
Since going through menopause, I get facial hair on my chin and occasionally on my upper marionette lines. Ugh. I can’t stand it, and tweezing – especially since I had cataract surgery – is difficult if not impossible. As a result, I use an epilator. I have a special slimmer facial epilator that I like …
Olive & June “Lipstick Stain” Polish for the Holidays
When it comes to nail polish, I’m into reds these days. The cabernet colored shade, “Obsessed”, was my Thanksgiving favorite. Now, I’m in love with “Lipstick Stain“, a new long wearing polish from Olive and June that I bought during the pre-Black Friday sale. Although Olive and June describes Lipstick Stain as a “deep berry”, …
This Year’s Holiday Scented Ornament from Molton Brown
When Jeff and I were visiting London two months ago, I told him I needed to stop into the Molton Brown shop at Covent Garden. Covent Garden, as well as the rest of London downtown, was jammed with tourists and high end stores, unlike the old days when it was relatively empty and filled with …
Beauty Spotlight Team, Hanukah Edition 2023
Actually, this week’s Beauty Spotlight Team weekly roundup has nothing to do with Hanukah, but I couldn’t think of another name for this December weekend! 😉 Hope you’re making progress on your holiday shopping, and hope you can find the time to enjoy the run up to the holidays! Angie at Your True Self Blog has a …
Final City Beauty Sitewide Holiday Sale
My City Lips Clear package arrived a couple of days ago. Yay! I took advantage of the City Lips BOGO Sale before Black Friday. Now I will be set with City Lips till at least spring! Next was the 40% off Sitewide Sale during Black Friday week. I had intended to buy another Lid Lifting …
Paula’s Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer
Yesterday, I mentioned Paula’s Choice’s other new-ish product, Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer, when I wrote about the 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum (reviewed here). Since yesterday’s review was so long, I thought I’d wait till today to talk about Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer. Paula’s Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer Here’s the product description …
New Paula’s Choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Serum
Paula’s Choice still remains one of my favorite skincare brands. The products are no-nonsense, efficacious, and affordable. Plus I can always turn to the Beautypedia on the website if I need an explanation of an ingredient or two. Over the past few months, I received two new to 2023 Paula’s Choice skincare products: Today, I’ll …
