PR Sample, Affiliate Links After a long busy day, my face felt dirty. So I went shopping in my cosmetic stash. I came up with TonyMoly Green Tea Skin Purifying Sheet Mask, a sheet mask that I think I received from a PR person a couple of years ago. Or else I bought it myself …
After almost 15 years of blogging, the tides have turned. TikTok rules, and many have moved on. I still enjoy writing, though it’s not as easy for me as it was before my stroke. Sometimes I just can’t think of a word I’m searching for, but never mind, right? And I still like reading. I …
I Bought This/Affiliate Links Hahahahaha! Boy, do I need my glasses! I have been realizing that most makeup, the packaging certainly, is not meant for me but for someone much younger with better eyesight! Not long ago, I went shopping in my new makeup stash. I grabbed a new-to-me brand that had some in my …
Retail Sample/Affiliate Links Honestly, I can’t remember how I got this mini sample from Murad, but I’m glad I did. Murad makes my favorite retinal facial cream, and I’ve been using it since it launched a couple of years ago (although I have tried some other more affordable but less desirable retinal serums). Officially, Murad …
I Bought This/Affiliate Links Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment came in one of my recent Ipsy boxes. It has become a favorite especially for my skin this summer when lighter is better. Ingredients and Benefits The brand makes serious medically-oriented skincare products with effective ingredients and no added fragrance. I like …
I Bought This/Affiliate Links Dermalactives Purifying Apple Cider Toning Mist came in one of my recent Ipsy boxes. Because I’m at the end of my usual daytime, gentle, calming toning mist from TonyMoly, The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin, I decided to give Dermalactives a try. Here’s Dermalactives description: “A refreshing and revitalizing toner …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links During the Paula’s Choice 40% off Anniversary Sale before Memorial Day when I shopped the brand for two of my staple products, I took advantage of the sale and bought a couple of travel size products I had been curious about. The second product I bought I need to use …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links When I lived in New York, I used to shop at Caswell-Massey fairly frequently. Their shop was located not far from Ally & Gargano, the advertising agency I worked for in the early ’90s. On days when I actually took a lunch hour, Caswell-Massey’s old school store was a fine …
Last night, I had written about 80% of this review. All of a sudden, the rainless storm that had strong winds instead knocked out the electricity. Oh well, the best laid plans..! I Bought This/Affiliate Links Lately, I’ve taken to using two different eye creams in addition to eye serum. I pretty much stick to …
Press Sample/Affiliate Links #OOTD or Oxygen of the Day is one of my favorite K-beauty brands. Over the past several years, I have tried quite a few of their fab skincare products (introduced here). Recently, I received a goody box from #OOTD, and this little, portable, gel stick is my favorite item. #OOTD Peptide Glow …
I Bought This/Affiliate Links My favorite L’Oreal mascara was Voluminous Butterfly Intenza (reviewed here). It had a flared wand, and it gave me that winged look. I loved it. Of course, it was discontinued years ago. A couple of weeks ago, a reader left a comment about one of the long-retired mascaras that was part …
I Bought This/Press Sample/Affiliate Links Although I haven’t used these particular Korean skincare products, I felt that I should at least alert you to them in case you or someone you know is looking for anti-acne products. Both Abib and #OOTD are among my favorite K-beauty brands in terms of efficacy and affordability. Abib Heartleaf …
Press Sample/Affiliate Links Usually, I’m not a real fan of sheet masks. I find them difficult to apply because they are often too large for my face. Also, they tend to be cold, so I try to use them in the warm/hot weather. But I am a fan of the Korean brand #OOTD, so …
Although I still have a lot of new products to review, I’ve been trying to clean up my office and bathroom, so I’ve started shopping my stash. I thought about giving this facial oil away, but I changed my mind. I’m a fan of Purlisse, so I decided to use it. I’ve written about Purlisse …
Sometimes things happen for a reason. Or at least happen serendipitously! Not long ago, I used up the root touch-up powder that I apply to my part between hair colorings. I had been using that brand for quite a few years, and I was satisfied with it. But the following day, I was asked if …
