My brows are still a work in progress. They’re not as full as they used to be, so they definitely need more help. I just talked with my friend, Laura, yesterday about who her daughters go to for brow shaping. I think I’ll have my brows shaped professionally for the first time – can you …

My First Glossybox: “Secret Garden” for September 2016
I’ve been curious about Glossybox for some time now, so I was thrilled when I got a chance to try out the September 2016 Glossybox.

They chose Portugeuse illustrator, Antonio Soares, known for …

Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer: Affordable Luxury
One of the benefits of being a beauty blogger is getting to try out a lot of skincare products. Back in my “civilian” days, I stuck with the same moisturizer probably for about 10 years. I still like that moisturizer, Olay Regenerist, and I think it’s a good one, but I am happy that I’ve …

Essie Gel Couture, Sew Me & Topcoat: Longer Wearing Polish
Recently, I read a review for Essie Gel Couture on Plastic Bows beauty blog and on another blog that I can’t remember. Both blogposts featured a shade that’s one of my all time favorites. Essie calls it Sew Me, shade 30, and describes it as “cream caramel rose”. I’d say it’s shell pink. It’s part of …
More September 2016 Subscriptions: Birchbox and Sephora Play!
All my subscriptions came on time or early this month. I already wrote about my terrific September ipsy bag.

My Obsession with Tarte Lip Sculptor Lipstick & Lipgloss
A month ago, I wrote about my Tarte haul during their 30% off sale. I was looking for things from Tarte to try, and I found the very attractive Lip Sculptor, gold cased, double-ended lipstick and gloss-in-one that’s great for travel or for just carrying in my purse. I bought the shade, Sass, a gorgeous mauve, just …

My Favorite Fall Nail Polish Shade: OPI Freedom of Peach
Over the past several weeks, I saw several blogposts showing off the new Washington DC collection from OPI. It’s an election themed collection (as if we need more reminders :roll:), and the colors are fall type colors IMHO. I fell hard for Freedom of Peach. OPI may call it peach, but I would call it …
