Laneige Good Night Kit: Sleeping Masks for Face and Lips
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have really, really dry lips, and though I can use “normal” lip balms during the summer, when the cold weather hits, Dr. Lipp Miracle Balm and Hanalei Lip Treatment work best for me (reviewed here and here). So before I …
Surya Brasil Amazonia Preciosa Clay Mask: Moisturizing and Firming
Masks are so popular these days. Many of us have a variety of masks in our skincare arsenals. Not surprisingly, I have several types of masks that I choose depending on my particular skincare need and my mood. Recently, I received a natural, organic and vegan clay mask from Surya Brasil: Amazonia Preciosa Clay Mask, …
Post-Thanksgiving 2017 Fashion Flash
Hopefully, all of us who celebrate Thanksgiving survived the holiday. Joke! Thanksgiving is still my favorite. And this year it was lovely and quiet, in a good way. Hope you had a wonderful day too. Monday means Fashion Flash, and this week, it is hosted by the chic Janise of Mama In Heels! Another terrific …
Shop Local: Holiday Shopping at Cuddlefish Manchester MA for Clothing, Accessories and Dr. Hauschka Cosmetics
This summer, I discovered the most wonderful boutique in nearby Manchester-by-the-Sea MA, Cuddlefish. I wrote about my first shopping experience here, and I’ve been back a number of times since then. Why I Love This Shop! Erika, the owner, is one of the key reasons why I enjoy shopping there. She is a very …
Beauty Spotlight Team Black Friday 2017
Happy day after Black Friday! Did anyone do any shopping? I picked up a trio of polishes and a topcoat at the Zoya sale. I almost bought something online at MAC, but the shipping for that one little item would have cost more than what I saved so I bailed. How about you? Any great …
Happy Thanksgiving!
For all those who celebrate the U.S. Thanksgiving, have a wonderful day! I hope you are spending it just the way you want to either with friends, family or a peaceful day on your own. In addition to being thankful for about a million things, I am also thankful to those of you who read …
Thanksgiving 2017 Fashion Flash
Somehow I missed the email about this week’s Fashion Flash that came out on Monday. Oh well, better late than never! The Thanksgiving edition of the online lifestyle, beauty, career, health and wellness, fashion, and travel mini-mag for women over 40 is hosted by the talented Sheila of Painted Ladies. In between baking and cooking …

Gimme All The Sparkle: Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner
You’d think by this stage of the game I would have outgrown glitter and sparkles, but as John Belushi used to say (that’s how old I am), “but no-oh” I still want all the sparkles! The SA at Sephora who was helping me during the VIB sale was wearing a gorgeous purple glitter liner that …
Ipsy “All You” Bag for November 2017
The Ipsy and Sephora Play bags have similarly self-focused themes for November. Interesting coincidence. As I wrote last week, Sephora Play was kind of a disappointment for me this month. The Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara didn’t suit me: I didn’t like the fluffy brush for my downturned eyes and the formula kind of made …
Beauty Spotlight Team 18 November 2017
It’s a busy time: the weekend before Thanksgiving. Shopping, planning, cooking. But if you have a few minutes of me-time, take a look at this week’s posts from the Beauty Spotlight Team. If you’re on the fence about the new Urban Decay Heavy Metals Palette, read Prime Beauty’s review and check out the swatches! …
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Eye Concentrate: Unique Booster for Eyes
“Ultimune”, what in heaven’s name does that mean? Hmm. It’s probably a combo of ultimate and “immune”. Immune from wrinkles, maybe? Anyway, I am almost finished with a tube of Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream that I reviewed a long time ago (here). Since I wrote the initial review ages ago, I have come to …

Queen of Coral: My Experience with FACE atelier and Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks
Years ago, I wore nothing but coral lipstick. Though I’ve branched out to nudes, mauves and reds, corals still play a big role in my extensive lipstick collection. I recently added two more. Even if coral isn’t your thang, you might still find the info about the lipstick formulas of interest. FACE atelier Lipstick …
