A couple of week’s ago, I told you I was hooked on DefenAge Skincare (reviewed here), and that I didn’t want to switch to another line. Well, I finally looked at some of the products I had been sent, and I realized one brand sent products that were for different uses so I wouldn’t have …
An Introduction to La Collection Muscs Fragrances from Sylvaine Delacourte Paris
I must be Facebook’s favorite customer because the ads they post get me every time. Well, not every time but often enough. 😀 I’ve been a fragrance lover since I was a little girl. Instead of my interest in perfume slowing down, it has actually increased. Facebook is primarily responsible because through FB I …
Luxie Rose Gold Kabuki Brush Set
Ipsy introduced me to Luxie makeup brushes. So far, I have received at least 10 Luxie brushes in my Ipsy bags over the years. Most of them are the pretty pink handled brushes with the rose gold ferrule, the metal piece that holds the bristles in place. I love them, and find myself reaching for …
DefenAge Clinical Power Trio: Anti-Aging Skincare with Stem Cell Stimulating Peptides
In July, I saw an ad on Facebook for a skincare brand I had never heard of: DefenAge. The ad made a claim about their products that got my attention. To be honest, as a former advertising exec, I take advertising claims with a grain of salt, but something about the ad got me. It …
Aveda Shampure Shampoo, Conditioner and Pure-Fume Mist

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Your Beauty Tool Kit Now at JC Penney
I love vintage design, especially things from the 1940s and 50s. That’s when my mom was young, so maybe that’s why?

Thoughts on Some Bite Beauty Lip Products
Back in April, I picked up my Beauty Insider birthday gift from Sephora just before we left for Amsterdam. I know I wrote something about it, but I didn’t really get to use everything at that point. I rediscovered the box a few weeks ago, and I was reminded why I like Bite Beauty lipsticks …
At-Home Spa Treatment for Soft Hands with Parasilk gLOVE Treat
When I used to go to wonderful Georgette Klinger Salon on Madison Avenue in New York in the 1980s and 90s for a facial, the first thing the esthetician did was put big spa gloves on my hands. The gloves contained wax and oils, and they were heated in a microwave before they were applied. …

Koh Gen Do Cleansing SPA Water and Pure Cotton Pads
