Today, I’m bringing back the Friday Find, a brief post about a product I think you need to know about. As I’ve mentioned before, my eyelashes and brows became sparser over the years, and I realized I needed to do something about it. I’ve tried castor oil, and I had good results from it though the …
Several months ago, I told you about StriVectin’s new haircare line for Color-Treated Hair. I got hooked. StriVectin became my go-to shampoo and conditioner. And I used the protective spray this summer to help keep my hair from fading. Unfortunately, I finished up the shampoo for color-treated hair last month, and I was very sad …
So another month’s worth of empties hits the recycling. October was a good month for me, finishing up a number of full size products. As usual, I used up mostly skincare or body care products. And there’s one makeup item that I sadly must toss. Let’s see what has moved on! Facial Skincare Always …
The months keep rolling by, and now we’re in October. Time for my monthly empties post! I finished up quite a few things, some of which I was dying to get through and others, well I’m sad they’re gone. Let’s get to it. Bath & Body Perlier White Almond Antibacterial Foaming Soap, full size: …

When I purchased from Ulta online during their 21 Days of Beauty, they sent along a few samples. Among them was a Hask shampoo and conditioner duo, packets with just enough for one use. Hask has a broad product range: the ones I received were the Kalahari Melon Oil Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner with Color Shield …
All my subscriptions came on time or early this month. I already wrote about my terrific September ipsy bag. And to follow up on my missing product with points, ipsy said they couldn’t replace it but they were sending me something else. It hasn’t arrived yet, and my fingers are crossed that it isn’t a …
We’re into September, but I haven’t posted anything about my three $10 beauty subscriptions from August. So I’ll do one post on all three. Let’s see which one did the best in August. Birchbox Birchbox always gets delivered first. That’s a plus. It’s a cute box with fun colors and patterns that remind me …
About a year or so ago, I was introduced to Darshana Natural Indian Oil (reviewed here). It is an amazing oil that you apply before shampooing. It always makes my hair so soft and smooth. But sometimes, I don’t have a chance to put on Darshana Natural Indian Oil prior to washing my hair. I …
Ulta Beauty is running a 20% off sale on non-prestige items now through September 3. I got the email a few days ago, and I knew I had some Ulta rewards points/cash waiting to be used. So today I drove over to take a look. Because prestige was excluded, it was a small haul. Here’s …
There’s no shortage of great haircare products out there. In fact, I have so many different hair products that it takes a lot to impress me. But recently I read a review from Cindy at Prime Beauty Blog for Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock that got my attention. Then I was given the opportunity to …
We must be entering the golden age of hair styling tools because there seems to be lots of new gadgets out there to try. I recently received the InStyler Max Rotating Iron to test. The InStyler is sort of a flat iron and curling iron in one. You can get straight hair or you can …
On one of my first trips to Italy, I went into a fancy shop in Rome near the Spanish Steps that sold beautiful accessories for women: barrettes, hair clips, evening bags, shawls, makeup bags, fancy mirrors etc. I was mesmerized by it all because at the time there was really nothing like it in the …
Brushes that straighten hair are all the rage. I was so curious about them because they looked like they’d do less damage to my hair. A few weeks ago, I received the ACEVIVI Digital Anti-Static Hair Straightener Brush. First, it came in a very nice pink presentation box and a soft gray travel/storage bag came …
I’m officially proclaiming 2016 the Year of Haircare Products! I have been discovering so many new and fabulous hair products this year, I’m blown away. The products that have been impressing me most are leave-in serums, the kind of product I never would have even considered a couple of years ago. I always thought that …
