This week, I must show you some more pretties from his eye makeup collection. Hyperreal Eye Color Palette: Bedroom Eyes Let’s start with eye shadow! The Hyperreal Eye Color Palette comes …
Jesse’s Girl Matte Finish Lip Color: Sultry
Today I went into Boston to get my hair colored and cut, or so I thought. It turns out I didn’t have an appointment to have my hair cut after all. I am sure I asked the receptionist a month ago to make me an appointment with both my colorist and my stylist. Oh well, …
Wet N Wild Spring Season Splurge
I don’t know why I seldom shopped Wet N Wild. Their makeup is affordable and cruelty-free. I think I thought it was too young for me. But speaking of too young, a limited edition lip gloss palette with heart-shaped pans caught my eye, and though it looks like it was created for 10 year olds, …
Spring 2017 Eye Makeup from Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics

My New Favorite Liquid Matte Lipstick from Jesse’s Girl
OMG, I am so exhausted that it requires too much energy to even breathe. I just got in from shoveling snow for 3 and a half hours. Our Nor’easter yesterday dropped about 7 inches of snow, much less than predicted, but then it turned to rain and compacted and drenched the snow, and then it …
My First Mini-Haul from Darling Girl Cosmetics
Well, calling it a haul is an exaggeration, but this was my first little shopping spree at Darling Girl Cosmetics, a cruelty-free indie brand that appears to specialize in duochrome, color shifting and glittery eye, face and lip makeup, some of which is vegan. Courtney from Phyrra.net has been featuring Darling Girl makeup for …
Jordana Power Eyeshadow Collection vs. Palladio Silk FX All-in-One Herbal Eyeshadow
A few weeks ago, I received Jordana Made to Last Powder Eyeshadow Collection 06 Plumbelievable. Somehow at about the same time, I came across a coupon on Facebook for a free product from Palladio at Sally’s Beauty, a brand of affordable makeup that I had never tried. I went to Sally’s, and somehow I came …
Fall Mini-Haul from ColourPop: One Hit, One Miss
Last week, ColourPop had a 20% off sale with free shipping. You know I can’t resist a sale and free shipping! Since I need nothing, I picked up just a couple of items: Ultra Satin Lip and Super Shock Shadow. Ultra Satin Lip If you have dry lips, have you tried the Ultra Satin Lip? …
Sneak Peek at NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Vault
OK, if you hear me panting, it’s because I was sent the amazing new NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Vault. I’m giving you a sneak peek because this huge vault that is made up of travel size versions of the Soft Matte Lip Creams doesn’t launch till next week, October 23 to be exact, at Ulta …
BeYu Cosmetics: A Summer FOTD and OOTD
Last night, we were invited to our friends’ home for dinner. It was a hot night, almost 90 degrees, and we had spent the afternoon at the beach. It definitely put me in a summery mood. I pulled out a pair of shorts and an aqua polka dot T-shirt that goes with my aqua Sofft …
Friday Find: L’Oreal Infallible Gel Eyeliner
A few months ago, I reviewed Rimmel ScandalEyes Gel Eyeliner (here) that I picked up when I was in the mood to try a gel eyeliner. It was relatively easy to apply, but my wing disappeared not long after I applied the liner. A number of readers suggested that I try L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner …
FOTD with e.l.f. Essential Smudge Pots
As I’ve mentioned a million times, I prefer cream everything for my dry skin. Recently, I read a post from Katie at From My Vanity comparing e.l.f. Smudge Pots to Maybelline Color Tattoos. I never heard of e.l.f.’s cream Smudge Pots, and after reading about them, I headed right for Target. They had two shades left …
More Almay Softies Cushiony Eyeshadow Singles: Peach & Grape
When they first came out, I wrote about Almay Softies. I had picked up Smoke, and over time, I found myself reaching for it often as a crease or V shade in an everyday look. Some time later, I picked up Petal, a beautiful matte pink, and I use that shade all the time for …
ColourPop Metamorphosis Shadow Collection & Frida Lippie Stix FOTD and Swatches
I picked up the ColourPop Metamorphosis eye shadow collection and the Frida Lippie Stix, a mid-tone nude pink with a satin finish, during their pre-Christmas sale event. I had wanted to pick up the limited edition Metamorphosis collection for some time. I’m glad I did because it appears to be gone now. Frida is part of …
Face Fashion September 2015 ipsy Bag
I know I’ve said this before, but I measure the passage of time in ipsy bags, and I got my September bag a couple of weeks ago. This year is just flying by! I wish it would slow down. This month’s theme is Face Fashion, and all of my products were face makeup, skincare or beauty …
