Right now, Olive & June is selling their Mani Jetsetter kit of minis as their best-selling gift for Mother’s Day. Whether you are a mother, …

Happy Easter & Passover Beauty Spotlight Team
The spring holidays are finally here! I couldn’t be happier unless the temperature went up above 50 degrees or so.

AHAVA Smoothing Hand Cream
Speaking of products from my Ipsy bags, I received AHAVA Smoothing Hand Cream. I got it during the winter, but I already had a couple of hand cream bottles and jars open. Recently, I thought why am I saving this? I have waaaaay too many cosmetics that are “waiting in the wings”. I opened it, …

Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Eye Cream
