Recently, I was going through the samples and travel size goodies that I received when I made a purchase at Barney’s NY during either their spring or fall beauty promotions. I don’t shop at Barney’s very often, but that’s where I buy my favorite perfume. I try to make sure I buy it during one …

When it comes to turning back the hands of time, I have realistic expectations. In fact, I’ve been better at slowing them than at turning them back, but I am up for trying anything that could help me do either one. New StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum is unlike any other serum I’ve …
Ipsy decided to change things up this month. The theme of the bag is “Create”. To go along with the create theme, they included two spring-y markers along with the bag, a hot pink and a bright green. Then, I noticed that the bag itself was different: it’s bigger! In fact, it fits my iPhone …

My vintage style makeup clutch arrived from The Vintage Cosmetic Company in the UK about a week after I placed the order. Pretty darn quick. It’s floral, girly and old-school, as promised. I love it! The outside is a satiny floral fabric. The bag feels padded and protective of the items inside. The lining is …
We lucked out here in MA. The snow storm fizzled! We got about an inch or two instead of a foot. Yippee! I hope you were as lucky this past week where you are. If you are seeking perfect blushes for the spring, then Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog highly recommends Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic …
You know that I’m big on “empties” posts. I love to finish things up, recycle them and move on either to a new one or to something else. But for makeup, it takes a looooooong time to finish things up. So I thought about doing a “hitting pan” post. Hitting pan is kind of a …
Because my doctor and I don’t seem to be able to get my blood pressure under control yet in spite of quadrupling the amount of medication I started taking about 6 weeks ago and because of some other things, I’ve been really stressed out this winter. For decades, I have been running just about every …
I just got my first purchase from Makeup Geek, a cruelty-free indie makeup brand that describes itself as “professional quality at affordable prices”. I believe I first learned about Makeup Geek on Phyrra.net. Not surprisingly, I learned about the 40% off sale on makeupgeek.com a couple of weeks ago on Phyrra’s Facebook group. Turns out …

Thursday was such a busy day! In the morning, I attended a coffee at a friend’s house in the ‘hood for a woman who is running for State Representative in my district. She’s running against a guy who has held the seat, running unopposed for almost 20 years. So her candidacy is very exciting for …
Ulta was really slow getting their catalogue out to announce their Spring 2018 21 Days of Beauty. I finally got my catalogue on Saturday. Actually, I had seen the calendar online the day before, and I formed some first impressions. Actually, I thought it wasn’t much. But being able to study it up close with …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and happy weekend! Hope yours is off to a good start. We might go out for a “walk” on snowshoes this afternoon. There still is quite a bit of snow from the storm. And guess what? Another Nor’easter is forecasted for mid-week. I can’t believe it especially with the official start …
