I know, I know, you didn’t have a chance to even look at the beauty blogposts from Beauty Blogazons, and now I’m sending more from Beauty Blog Coalition! Actually, this is the smallest digest from BBC that I’ve ever seen: just 6 entries, including mine at the end. So here they are. Take a peak, …
Labor Day Weekend Beauty Blogazons Roundup
Hey gals, Most likely, you are out and about doing all kinds of fun stuff this weekend. In the US, it’s Labor Day Weekend, the last unofficial weekend of the summer. And elsewhere, well, I guess it depends where you are. Endless summer toward the equator. End of winter in the southern hemisphere. But, I digress. …
Wet ‘n Wild Bargains!
Unlike many American girls, I didn’t grow up wearing Wet ‘n Wild. For me, it was Maybelline. And though I have worked as a focus group moderator for other affordable brands, I never got a call from Wet ‘n Wild. So I was never drawn to the brand. But this week, a couple of mega-bargains …
Exuviance Illumination Set, The Dynamic Nighttime Duo for Skin
Recently, I received an innovative idea in skincare to try out: Exuviance Illumination Duo. Exuviance is a brand that has recently come onto my radar screen. However, the two doctors who started the brand discovered the skincare benefits of glycolic acid, and they invented the glycolic peel. Woo hoo! That got …
ipsy Beauty Schooled August 2014 Bag
My ipsy bag was a little later than usual this month, which made me one of the last to get it. Grrrrr! It was so late that I mistakenly thought it was the September bag and I originally mislabeled the post and the photo below! But it eventually came, and with it was the bonus …
Weekly Roundup Beauty Blog Coalition 24 August 2014
Hope you’re enjoying the weekend! What are you up to today? If you have a few extra minutes, take a look at the beauty blogposts from Beauty Blog Coalition. Definitely a shorter list this weekend as summer draws to a close. My entry, toward the bottom of the list, is a review of City Lips …
Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup 22 August 2014
Boy, the weeks are just flying by! I’m hoping for good weather this last week before Labor Day Weekend. What’s on your agenda this weekend? It’s going to be on the cool side today so no beach for me. But tonight, our beach club is having its annual bonfire on the beach! First we have …
Tiffany-Inspired Manicure
Since I received 37 bottles of new Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer, I have no excuse not to have something on my nails. And it has given me a chance to play around with different looks. Recently, I decided to try out Mint Crush. Although it’s called “mint”, this shade is more of …
City Lips Lip Plumper
More than a year ago, my friend Nancy asked me what I thought about City Lips Lip Plumper. I told her I wasn’t familiar with it. I googled the product, and I read what I thought might be hype about how well it worked. There was video from a TV show extolling its virtues. I …
Ritual Beauty Daily Perfecting Treatment Serum & GIVEAWAY
At the beginning of the summer, I received an email from the woman behind Ritual Beauty, a beauty brand that was new to me. I am always excited to get acquainted with women who take risks and start their own businesses. And I love to find out what inspired them to start their particular business. …
Weekly Roundup Beauty Blog Coalition 17 August 2014
So how’s your weekend going so far? It’a a pretty day here in Massachusetts. Sunnyish and warm in the sun. Trying to decide if it’s a bona fide beach day. And tonight is the monthly Block Party in Gloucester in which Main Street is closed to traffic, the restaurants downtown have outdoor seating, musicians play …
Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup 16 August 2014
It’s the weekend again! I’m hoping the next two weeks of summer (before Labor Day) go nice and slowly. Our beach club closes early this year, on Labor Day, and with the cooler than usual weather we’ve been having, I feel like we’re having a shorter than normal summer, boo hoo. Hope you are having …
Zoya 3-in-1 Formula Remove+ Polish Remover
Gosh, I never thought I’d be reviewing a nail polish remover, but here I am. I took advantage of a recent offer from Zoya. Purchase $10 or more and get free shipping and a full-size bottle of Zoya 3-in-1 Formula Remove+, a multi-tasking product that’s part of their Color Lock System and is touted as: …
New Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer
Milani sure has been busy lately. In addition to coming out with the brand new Bella Eyes Gel Powder shadow collection (reviewed here), they launched a brand new collection of Color Statement Nail Lacquer. And lucky me, I received them all to try out! The new Milani Color Statement …
Too Faced 3 Way Lash Lining Tool
Instrument of torture or useful lash lining tool? I tightline my eyes every day, or just about every day. With my blonde lashes, my eyes don’t have enough oomph without eyeliner and mascara. However, I often think that black eyeliner on me is too harsh. On the other hand, tightlining – creating a line between …
