Before we left for our trip, I headed over to Ulta and Sephora to pick up my birthday gifts and to pick up a few things while I had discounts at both stores. Ulta Beauty The April-May-June birthday gift at Ulta is a travel size NARS Orgasm blush. I already have one, so I may …
My New Mascara Love: Benefit Bad Gal Bang!
About a month or so ago, I wrote a post about my favorite mascaras. I still really like them, but I used the Sephora sale as an opportunity to try out the new-ish mascara from Benefit, Bad Gal Bang! I was already a big fan of They’re Real and Roller Lash, so I thought there …
Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Anti-Breakage Anti-Frizz Sulfate-free Shampoo
I haven’t bought my own shampoo in about three years. I’ve still got more shampoo left that I received for trial and review to finish up, but when I ordered it online originally, I goofed and ordered “low suds” shampoo. I’m a mega suds shampoo person, so even though I love the scent of the …
Mid-April 2018 Fashion Flash
This is a hectic week for me. Monday was my birthday, and I had lunch and hung out with my friend Kim and her daughter Emma. Then Jeff brought me pink roses and a beautiful matching birthday cake and then took me out for a lobster and sushi dinner. Although it was pouring rain all …
RecueHer Essentials: Perfect Gift for Graduates, Travelers, Moms on the Go
Last week, I received the coolest little kit that arrived just in time for my trip this week! RESCUEHER. It’s a small vegan leather dopp kit style bag for women that comes with a detachable silver chain in case you want to carry it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. The bag itself comes in …
Beauty Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup 14 April 2016
Happy weekend! What are you up to? Any special plans?? I need to jump in the shower and get ready for our afternoon plan. Jeff and I are going to an opening at the Cape Ann Museum, and we’re meeting a friend there. Last night, our friend Sue came over for dinner, and I made …
Tarte Lip Luxuries: My Holiday Splurge with My Favorite Lipsticks
Today is International Kissing Day, so it’s a good time to talk about lipstick! I own probably close to 100 lipsticks, but I have a clear favorite. Although I am not a big fan of mattes, I have fallen in love with a hybrid, a satin matte. My favorite lipstick is Tarte The Lip Sculptor. …
EO Everyone vs Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap: I Need Some Input From You!
Last year, I saw a sponsored post on Facebook for Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap. What caught my eye were the brightly colored labels on the bottles arranged in a jelly bean colored ring. I thought to myself that I needed to try that brand. Next trip to CVS, I stood in front the hand soap …
Crystal Invisible Solid Deodorant: Natural Better-For-You Deodorant
About three years ago, I made the switch to natural deodorants. I wanted to avoid aluminum and other chemicals in the anti-perspirants I had been using since I was about 11. Although I don’t perspire as heavily as I did when I was young, I still want to be odor-free and I’m often on the …
Kiehl’s Dynamic Duo: Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask and Midnight Recovery Serum
When it comes to facial masks, I can’t get enough. I have so many it’s ridiculous. All different types. All different benefits. But I only get a professional facial maybe once or twice a year, so I try to do the best I can to take care of my skin at home. I’d like to …

Creamy Mousse Shadow: butter LONDON Glazen Eye Gloss
This time around, Ulta 21 Days of Beauty didn’t have all that much that attracted me. I was hoping that they’d have more new products, but it seemed to me that there were mostly old favorites. Because I haven’t found a replacement for Urban Decay Anti-aging Eye Primer, I bought the travel size that was …
Beauty Spotlight Team 7 April 2018
We’re in the fourth month of winter. You should have seen the snow coming down this afternoon. On April 6. Discouraging. It’s supposed to snow today too. Oh well, by the time June rolls around, it’s got to be over. 😉 What are you up to this weekend? No special plans here. If you have …
Portable Gurunanda Natural Mist Diffuser and Essential Oils
I’ve recently been introduced to a few little somethings that I am absolutely delighted with. Yesterday, I wrote about how much I liked the Masqueology Rubber Mask, and today I want to tell you about the Gurunanda Natural Mist Diffuser (formerly called the Wall Plug-In Diffuser) and essential oils. Gurunanda Natural Mist Diffuser Last year, …
Have You Tried A Rubber Mask? Masqueology Intensive Moisturizing Two-Step Rubber Mask
I’m not the biggest fan of sheet masks though I do use them from time to time because they provide such variety. My complaint with the paper sheet masks is that they don’t stay put on my face unless I lie down, and they don’t fit me so well. So when I received a new …
