When I was in college when everyone else was doing the natural look and wearing tie dye T-shirts, I was wearing vintage clothing and bright red 1940s style lipstick. I collected and carried vintage compacts with me, and loved to whip out my red lipstick and fancy compact to reapply in public. I loved platform shoes. …

I almost feel guilty posting this empties post because I have sooooo many empties from last month, December. I thought I did well in November, but not nearly as well as December.

This past weekend, I discovered new Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Crayons in a display at my local CVS. It was buried on a dark lower shelf, but somehow I happened to spot it. I picked up two shades out of 10, though I don’t think the CVS display had all 10 shades. The shades I …
I needed a quick, everyday look today, something I could do in less than 10 minutes. I wanted a light, fresh look. Also, I wanted to try out a couple of new products that have come my way: CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Primer: in a Target beauty box Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara: Sephora …
The day the new Pantone Colors of 2016 were announced, I did a quick blogpost about them. Truth be told, I wasn’t all that excited. But they have grown on me since then. Rose Quartz and Serenity are the colors of the late afternoon sky just before sunset. They are the colors captured in the …
I had my New Year’s Eve outfit, jewelry and makeup all planned out, but this year I had to pass on my plans. But I still want to share the gorgeous lipstick and lipliner that I intended to wear that night. A vampy red lipstick from The Edge Beauty. I know I’ll be wearing it …
For some reason, I haven’t been using gel liners for a long time. But I decided I needed to go back to a gel liner to see if I could get a smoother line on my upper lid and see if it would be easier for me to make a good looking wing. Also, I …
I picked up the ColourPop Metamorphosis eye shadow collection and the Frida Lippie Stix, a mid-tone nude pink with a satin finish, during their pre-Christmas sale event.

2015 has been a weird year for me. Not my best ever, for sure. But thankfully, I’ve made it through. I’m looking forward to 2016. But in terms of beauty products I’d say it was a stellar year! Frankly, it’s difficult to limit my favorites to a manageable number, so I am going to tackle …
My little local CVS is jam-packed with limited edition displays for the holidays. I can’t believe how much great stuff there is.

During the week, I usually stick to neutral mattes or neutrals with a little shimmer. But for holidays, it’s fun to kick it up a notch. This year metallic eyes are in, but I think metallics are in any year. It’s a classic look IMHO. On Sunday evening, Jeff and I went to a …
PUR Minerals has been on my radar for quite a while. Whenever I go to Ulta, I always check out the new makeup from PUR. In fact, I just bought the new PUR Eye Polish last week, so stay tuned for my review. Recently, PUR generously sent me PUR Cameo Contour, a very cool double-ended …
