I Bought This, Affiliate Links I’ve been making my way through the set of mini polish bottles in Olive & June’s Summer Mini Set 2021 (now renamed the Gifting Minis Set). I love minis, they are the perfect size. I wish all polishes came in mini versions, but alas, this set from Summer 2021 is …
About a month ago, I noticed that Sigma had a sale going on with a lot of their makeup brushes on sale for up to 50% off. I had only tried one of their brushes, I think, and I’m not sure how I got it. Must have been through Ipsy. I know that a lot …
One of my favorite pumpkin spice foods is Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Bread. I think it’s really more of a cake than a quick bread, but no matter. It’s delicious, and it tastes homemade. PR Samples, Affiliate Links At this time of year, I love pumpkin spice facial skincare products, so I was thrilled when …
PR Samples, Affiliate Links Last week, Paula’s Choice sent me two of their iconic skincare products in a box with the title: Skincare Myths Busted. How intriguing! It certainly got my attention. And though Paula is no longer the owner of Paula’s Choice, it’s good that the company that bought the brand is continuing to …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Since I no longer receive a new scent from the subscription service, Scentbird, every month, I guess instead of the Scent of the Month, it’s my Scent of the Quarter. I enjoy Scentbird’s subscription service, but there just aren’t 12 scents that I could choose from their offerings in a …
PR Samples, Affiliate Links Back in early July, I wrote about three terrific and affordable lip products from Sormé Treatment Cosmetics. I wear the Lip Rescue lip crayon several times a week. It’s hydrating and the MLBB pink shade is perfect for days when I’m at home, exercising outside or out doing errands. The lip …
It’s been almost 20 years since I became aware of Japanese brand, DHC. My friend Miriam told me that she had been buying skincare products from the DHC catalogue for quite a while. I decided I would try it, too. I remember that I loved getting the little sample packets in the mail with my …
PR Sample, Affiliate Links, Informational Link You can never have too much of a good thing, right? That’s how I feel about Derma E’s Vitamin C Brightening collection. I’ve been using Derma E Vitamin C Serum for a couple of years now. I reviewed their Vitamin C Gentle Daily Cleansing Paste last year (here). In …
I Bought This, Informational Links, Affiliate Link Cindy from Prime Beauty Blog and I often gravitate toward the same shades in makeup, usually golds, coppers, peaches. So when she recommends new makeup that she has tried, I pay attention. A few weeks ago, Cindy reviewed Doll 10 Beauty’s Makeup Miracles Collection on Prime Beauty, and …
Being stuck at home during the nicest days of summer is not my idea of a good time. Yesterday I had a long telephone visit with my old friend Amy who lives in Nashville, and that definitely brightened my mood. Today, however, I relied on a tube of new-to-me SaTrell Beauty lipgloss to make me …
You know that I love bar soap. I use them in the shower and at the sink. PR Sample, I Bought This, Affiliate Links In the past, I have written about soap savers, accessories that make bar soap last longer (reviewed here). I’ve used a couple of different kinds over the years. They all worked …
Usually, I use a product for several weeks, at least a month before I write a review. But not long ago, I didn’t follow my typical testing procedure, and I judged a product too soon. Sorry about that. Because it was a bar of soap, I thought I could evaluate it more quickly. I was …
PR Samples, Affiliate Link I thought Sormé Treatment Cosmetics was a new-to-me makeup brand, but when I was putting the tags into this post, I discovered that I already had used the tag, Sormé Lip Stain. I received Sorme Smoochproof Lipstain in a Lip Monthly subscription bag. It was an excellent non-drying transfer-proof lip stain. …
I think it has been incredibly hot everywhere in North America this week, or it seems like it is. Although I have been spending more time in the air-conditioned house than I would like, when I do leave the house, I make sure I wear sunscreen. PR Samples, Affiliate Links This summer, I have been …
A month ago or so, Derma E generously sent me a box of skincare products from a few brands in addition to their own Derma E products. That really surprised me. There was no explanation, and I don’t have a regular contact at Derma E who I could ask about it. Not one to look …
