A few weeks ago, I received NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash via the blogger-brand association Brandbacker to try out in exchange for an honest review.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness month, and I wanted to get my review of three of MyChelle Dermaceutricals’ sunscreen options in before June. I went from being in the house almost full-time this winter to working in my yard and gardens for hours at a time as well as jogging outside instead of on the …
butterLONDON is one of my very favorite nail polish brands. Their prestige nail lacquer goes on so smoothly that two coats is more than enough. butterLONDON nail lacquers don’t contain formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, phthalates, or parabens. They dry quickly to a beautiful shine. I believe butterLONDON lacquers are cruelty-free and vegan. About a year or so ago, …
This past Christmas season, I got a chance to try the Zuzu Luxe Holiday Palette from Gabriel Cosmetics (review and holiday look here). It’s such a great glam face and eye palette in a beautiful compact. I also like the regular Gabriel Cosmetics line, and so far, I’ve tried the Liquid Foundation (reviewed here) and …
I’ve been collecting heart-shaped stuff for years and years. I’ve got quite a collection! I usually show you various pieces from my stash during Valentine’s season, but a serious heart-collector is acquiring hearts all year round. So when I saw Color Club’s “50 Shades of Love” topper on BeautyJudy’s blog a few weeks ago, I …
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 …
In 2003, Lindi Skin was launched to address the unique skincare needs of people undergoing cancer treatment. The founder and CEO and a cancer survivor herself, Lindy Snider, started the business and created the skincare line to help friends and family members who were going through radiation or chemotherapy. As a result of the cancer …
May and June are two of the busiest gift giving months after December over the course of the year. There’s Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, followed by graduations, and of course, wedding season. And unlike the traditional gift-giving winter holidays, these occasions are memorable and should be marked by a gift of something special. For me, …
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 …
Last Saturday, I received two brand new eye makeup products from CoverGirl: The Super Sizer by Lashblast Mascara Intensify Me Liquid Eyeliner I started out with the mascara, and I am so excited about it that I had to let you know about it ASAP.

A couple of weeks ago, I received two more products from Exuviance via Brandbacker, the bloggers and brands association: Exuviance Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish Exuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel.

I’ve had a bad cold all week, and I’ve been feeling miserable. So glad I got a little treat when Jeff and I visited Providence on Sunday. I picked up Tony Moly Peach Anti-aging Hand Cream. Everything from Tony Moly has the most adorable, whimsical packaging. And the scents are so authentic and delicious. Even …
A couple of months ago, I was given the opportunity to try out a slew of skincare products from DermaMD. DermaMD was a brand that was new to me. Started in 2001 by aesthetician and L.P.N. Sheila Malmanis, DermaMD’s philosophy is to use the best ingredients at the most effective concentrations shown through research to address specific …
Most days I wear BB or CC Cream. It seems easy to just a squeeze or pump a little onto my brush or Beauty Blender, and I’m good to go. But I’m often on the lookout for a good foundation. I remember a couple of years ago, my friend Kim asked me for a recommendation …
