Are you familiar with Chella? I first discovered Chella in one of my ipsy bags. About a year ago, I got to try a beautiful indigo blue, easy-to-apply liquid eyeliner with a felt tip. Since then, I learned that Chella is also known as Chella Brow Bar, located in Westlake CA, and they sell …
YSL Mascara Volume Effets Faux Cils: Luxury Mascara
I always drool over the makeup I see in stores and in reviews from Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. The packaging alone is enough to throw me into fits of longing. I love the silver or gold metal cases and the way the logo is wrought in metal. A big step up from most of the plastic …
Another Little CVS Makeup Haul
I like CVS because the stores are so darn convenient. There’s one on almost every corner, lol. But their makeup prices are definitely higher than Walmart and even Target. To make up for it, they have ExtraBucks and Beauty Club rewards. I just shared my CVS Maybelline haul from a little over a week ago. …
March Maybelline Haul
I had some CVS Extrabucks, and CVS had a couple of great 30% off coupons since the beginning of March. So I took advantage of the situation and purchased a couple of items I needed and a couple I wanted to try. Maybelline has really been rockin’ it IMHO. It was the first brand of makeup I ever used …
ipsy Floral Fantasy Glam Bag March 2015
I’ve begun measuring time in ipsy bags. I can’t believe another one is already here! And a spring-y one it is: Floral Fantasy in a pretty floral bag with painterly flowers against a cerulean blue background. Spring is supposed to start in a couple of days, and though it’s far from spring around here, I can dream …
St. Patrick’s Day Face of the Day
I have red hair, and I live in the Boston suburbs so some people think I’m Irish. They think my last name – Cohen – is Cohan. Though I’m not Irish, I join the crowd around here and play one on Saint Patrick’s Day. I break out my Celtic’s jacket whether they’re winning or not (this …
Clean Up with Simple Micellar Water and Eye Makeup Remover
For about a year or so, I read about Micellar Water mostly from women who lived in Canada or Europe or Asia. Although Micellar Water was available in the U.S., it was harder and more expensive to come by. Not so any longer. Micellar Water can be had in the drugstore now in the U.S. …
My Gloss48.com Lipgloss Haul
Nothing gives a girl a lift like new lipstick or lipgloss or lip color anything! Last Friday, I received 4 new lip glosses from Gloss48.com, two from a brand I know quite well LipTini, and two were new brands for me: Tat2U and LuMesh. What I love most about Gloss48 is that it’s a fantastic …
Jordana Color Tint Blush Sticks Spring 2015
I’m really taken by all the new products and shades being introduced by Jordana for Spring 2015. The Modern Mattes (reviewed here) are definitely my favorite matte lipstick, and I also seem to be reaching for them more than any other lippie of any kind, matte or not. And the Easyliner lip pencils go on …
My First Memebox: CutiePieMarzia2
Back in the late fall, I entered a giveaway on fabulous blogger and subscription box addict, Renu’s blog, My Beauty Junction. And to my surprise, I was one of the winners. I won points to use on Memebox, a leading Korean beauty retailer that sells curated skincare and makeup boxes. Korea is known for high …
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain and Easy Liner for Lips
I’m loving all the lip products I recently received from Jordana for Spring 2015. It’s an embarrassment of riches! Today, I’d like to show you the new additions to the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain and the Easyliner for Liips product lines. Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain Jordana has added …
February 2015 Valentine #ipsyLove ipsy Bag
Middle of the month means ipsy time, and I got my February Valentine’s #ipsyLove bag. The bag itself is pretty cute. It’s made out of a synthetic fabric that reminds me a little of old-fashioned oilcloth in that it’s somewhat stiff, holds its shape and won’t get dirty. It’s a raspberry pink to celebrate the …
Jordana Modern Matte Lipstick
Just when I thought I already found my new HG matte lipsticks, I received the new Modern Matte line of lipsticks from Jordana. I’ve become obsessed with them. Here’s what Jordana has to say about their new matte lipsticks: Modern Matte Lipsticks are a Winning Combination of High Payoff Pigments and Special Ingredients that …
My Valentine’s Day Makeup Look
Somehow I lost track of time. Even though I stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts for another heart-shaped donut, I didn’t realize that Valentine’s Day is this Saturday! This week, Jeff is in New York on business, but he asked to take me out to dinner on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully, we’re going to try …
Drugstore Longwear Lipsticks: Maybelline, CoverGirl and NYC
I’m always on the lookout for long wearing lipsticks for those times when it’s inconvenient to reapply my lipstick. And I’m always listening for everyone’s recommendations. Over the past several months, I’ve picked up three affordable long wearing lipsticks from the drugstore. A couple of them were mentioned in a Facebook group for makeup artists …
