A few months ago, I reviewed Rimmel ScandalEyes Gel Eyeliner (here) that I picked up when I was in the mood to try a gel eyeliner. It was relatively easy to apply, but my wing disappeared not long after I applied the liner. A number of readers suggested that I try L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner …
Wearin’ O’ The Green: FOTD for St. Patrick’s Day!
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday that’s pretty big in the Boston area because we have so many people of Irish heritage. I even have a few friends who are actually from Ireland (and they won’t be the ones wearing green, most likely!). I thought I’d break out the Celtics jacket that my …
Friday Find: Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster
For today’s Friday Find, I wanted to share a new product that recently came my way. Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster Just before Valentine’s Day, I received a surprise package and Vday card from the folks at Peter Lamas. Back in the summer, I reviewed a couple of Peter Lamas skincare products – Intensive Repair …

Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Gel Sensation I got this full size can of shower foam in …
FOTD with e.l.f. Essential Smudge Pots
As I’ve mentioned a million times, I prefer cream everything for my dry skin. Recently, I read a post from Katie at From My Vanity comparing e.l.f. Smudge Pots to Maybelline Color Tattoos. I never heard of e.l.f.’s cream Smudge Pots, and after reading about them, I headed right for Target. They had two shades left …
Taking My Lashes to New Lengths: IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about new IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Mascara. I tuned in to QVC about a month ago when I picked up the Your Most Beautiful Skin Collection that included the Cushion Foundation, Cream Blush, and pink lipstick (reviewed here). Just after I placed my order, they demonstrated the …
Friday Find: Diorskin Nude BB Creme SPF 10
Friday Find is when I dive into my stash or come up with a new product that I haven’t written about yet. Today, I decided to wear Diorskin Nude BB Creme SPF 10 in shade Fair that I hadn’t worn in a while. It was given to me about a year ago by my friend, …
Giveaway: Cindy Lou Manizer Luminizer from theBalm
I’ve wanted to try Cindy Lou Manizer Luminzer from theBalm for ages and ages. Finally, it was on sale on Hautelook for half off, so I took the plunge. I love the all of the fun, witty packaging from theBalm, and the Cindy Lou Manizer packaging is very cute especially since she’s a redhead. The …
Burt’s Bees Lipstick
Because Burt’s Bees used to add peppermint oil to their tinted Lip Shimmers, I ended up tossing all that I owned because my lips were so dried out. And I avoided the Burt’s Bees lip products for years. But that has ended, and I’ve come back to the fold because of new Burt’s Bees Lipstick. A …
More Almay Softies Cushiony Eyeshadow Singles: Peach & Grape
When they first came out, I wrote about Almay Softies. I had picked up Smoke, and over time, I found myself reaching for it often as a crease or V shade in an everyday look. Some time later, I picked up Petal, a beautiful matte pink, and I use that shade all the time for …

I’m coming right out and saying it, I am very disappointed with the February Birchbox – both of ’em! This is only my second Birchbox, and it’s the first monthly box I received after getting the Welcome box last month. The Welcome box introduced me to one fabulous product and a couple of good ones, and …
Valentine’s FOTD with Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette
When I heard that Too Faced was coming out with the Chocolate Bon Bons eyeshadow palette, I knew I had to have it. You know I’m crazy about hearts. As an avid heart collector, how could I not? I waited patiently till it was launched, and I bought it immediately because I couldn’t …
FOTD with IT Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful Skin Collection
Don’t stay up too late watching TV and your fellow bloggers’ Facebook feeds, lol! It can be dangerous! That’s what I did a couple of weeks ago. It was a Friday night, Jeff was watching boxing (that I hate), and I was working on my blog but checking my Facebook feed, when I saw a …

Coming right on the heels of new products like PUR Cameo Contour Sticks (reviewed here) and PUR Eye Polish that I still haven’t reviewed yet is a new line of lightweight foundation, PUR HydraFluid Water Serum Foundation.
