More skincare empties this month, of course! I wear makeup just about every day so why don’t I use it up, lol! Clearly I have too much of it 🙄 Here’s what I used up and whether it worth buying again. Obey Your Body Hand & Body Lotion Pump in scent La Femme: …
Before we get too deep into May, I’ll do a quick share of my April empties, the products I used up last month. Again, mostly skincare. One of these days, I’ll finish up some makeup. I know I will! Gillete Satin Care with Olay Shave Gel: I buy my shave gel in bulk at …
On Friday, I finally succumbed. I drove out to the mall and stopped in at L’Occitane to pick up the Spring 2015 L’Occibox. It’s been a while since I purchased anything from L’Occitane, and the $20 L’Occibox in the pretty cherry blossom decorated hat box was too good to pass up. I read reviews of the L’Occibox …
A couple of weeks ago, I was sent the Carefree VoxBox from Influenster. I received a free bag of Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Regular pantiliners. Each one is individually wrapped, so this little bag of 20 liners is great to keep on hand for travel or to pop in my purse. The Carefree Voxbox was …
I enjoy making things by hand: jam, crocheted clothing and accessories, bread, jewelry, crafts. And I appreciate and love to use things that are handmade by others. That’s why I even have a category on my blog called Artisan Spotlight. Over the years, I have discovered several artisans whose handmade skincare products I return to over …
Brandbacker, a blogger association, recently introduced me to Pura D’Or, a wonderful brand of organic haircare and skincare products, and I’m so glad they did. Pura D’Or Hair Loss Prevention Organic Shampoo & Conditioner I have lots of thick, coarse hair, but that doesn’t seem to stop me from noticing a lot of it …
Valentine’s Day would be my favorite holiday if it weren’t in February. Living in New England makes it tough to celebrate any holiday that occurs when we’re buried under more than 5 feet of snow, lol. But I love hearts. I collect hearts. I love anything with hearts on it or anything heart-shaped. I …
A couple of weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to try a Hubalou Hair Wrap Towel, the kind of wrap you can use to protect your hair if you’re giving yourself a facial or using a cleansing brush or, most likely, instead of a towel after you wash your hair. I have been quite …
I’ve been hearing a lot lately about DermOrganic, a line of better-for-you, argan extract based skincare and haircare products. The products are made with a high percentage of organic ingredients. When it comes to skincare where the product is absorbed into my body, organic ingredients are important to me. I was excited to have a chance to …
Since I started Never Say Die Beauty, I have really tried a lot, and I mean a lot, of beauty products. Probably more just this year than in the entire rest of my life! 😳 😆 Because it’s the end of the year, I wanted to put together a list of the products that I …
About a month or so ago, I received Teadora Rainforest At Dawn Exfoliating Lip Butter to try out. (Reviewed here.) I adored this citrus-scented lip balm exfoliator. It tastes and smells so delicious, I could eat it. As I mentioned in that review, Teadora’s products are: natural inspired by the rainforests in South America made with …
A few weeks ago, I received Gratiae Exfoliating Body Scrub to try out via my association with Tomoson.com. Upon opening the box, I realized that this product was something special. The body scrub was beautifully wrapped in cream-colored branded wrapping paper. That reminded me of fancy apples or pears that are wrapped with paper to protect …
Recently, I received Teadora Rainforest at Dawn Nourishing Lip Butter to try out. The packaging is very well done: modern, attractive, and it reinforces what the brand stands for. Teadora celebrates the Brazilian rainforest by using natural, anti-oxidant rich ingredients from the rainforest in their bath and body products: acai: protects skin from environmental stress buriti …
Although September is over, I wanted to show you the September Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag of minis. For months now, I have been drooling over the Rainbow Honey Mystery Bags that I’ve seen other beauty bloggers review. Finally, when I saw the mini heart-shaped soap and beautiful nail polishes in the September bag, I broke …
Every summer, the beautiful coastal city of Gloucester MA, near where I live, hosts the Waterfront Craft Festival at Stage Fort Park overlooking the ocean. There are loads of booths selling handmade products of all kinds. I love it and look forward to going every year. About 5 or 6 years ago, I was strolling …
