Hi Ladies, Hope you had a nice Saturday! Jeff & I went to the California Modern Design exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA. It was a terrific show of modernist design that got its start in California in the 1930-60s. For dinner, I tackled tacos al pastor, and I think it was …
The Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup 24 March 2014
Boy, did this week go by fast! It’s the weekend again already. We were supposed to have a big storm, and because of the threat of such bad weather, I postponed the focus groups I was supposed to conduct on Wednesday. Of course, the storm missed us, but clobbered parts of Cape Cod and the …
Gifts with Purchase: Lancome and Lauder/Lilly Spring 2014
It’s been a while since I did a “gift with purchase” alert. Lancôme has a promotion at Nordstrom, and Estee Lauder is continuing its successful promotion with Lilly Pulitzer that was launched last year, now at Bloomingdale’s. Lancôme Lancôme has a very interesting set of gifts with purchase at Nordstrom, right now. With a purchase …
Beauty Blog Coalition Weekly Roundup: 17 March 2014
Hey gals, Hope you’re having a good weekend so far. I’m a little disappointed that the weather is still so gloomy. I was about to head out for a jog, but it looks like rain. So down to the basement treadmill for me. Hope it’s nicer wherever you are! For your beauty reading pleasure, here’s …
Freebies for Me: NYX, Rimmel and NYC
I lucked out makeup-wise this week. I got some free makeup that I didn’t expect. How nice is that?! NYX Ulta is changing their rewards program to a point system, similar to Sephora’s. You accrue points on purchases …
March 2014 Ipsy Bag: A Little Lighter Than Usual
I’m not doing a little video of my Ipsy bag this month. There were only 4 items inside, and they weren’t even mostly full size. So I think a photo will suffice. One of the things I liked the most in the March, Destination Beauty bag, was the makeup bag it came in. I love …

Winged Out Eyelashes from L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
I don’t wear L’Oreal makeup very often. I don’t know why I’m not so drawn to the brand these days. But the new Voluminous Butterfly Mascara has been on my radar screen, and I decided to use my 20% off coupon and $4 discount from the CVS Beauty Club to try it and a liquid …

Hi again, hope you enjoying a little respite from the cold! So nice here in New England not to have to wear the heaviest of winter coats for a change 🙂 Hope you take a look at this past week’s posts from the Beauty Blog Coalition, if you have a chance. My post is toward …
The Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup, 4 March 2014
Hey ladies, It’s the weekend again and time for the weekly roundup from The Beauty Blogazons! Never Say Die Beauty’s website had a tough week. The server and therefore the site was having problems for almost two whole days. I’ve been pulling my hair out! So, if you tried to get on the site, my …
Napoleon Perdis Empress Lip Palette
Back in late November, I entered a giveaway on the Beautyholics Anonymous blog, and to my surprise I was one of the winners announced just before Christmas! And what was also such fun was that I had no idea what I won! (BTW, if you don’t know her already, Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous is a very …
Milani Coming Up Roses Blush, Spring 2014
A couple of months ago, I reviewed Milani Coming Up Roses Blush, a limited edition that seemed to be in very limited supply at CVS during the second half of 2013. I imagine that due to the popularity of that LE, Milani has come back with more new shades of the Coming Up Roses Blush …

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream SPF 50+
After reading so many raves from other beauty bloggers about IT Cosmetics CC Cream, I figured I had to try it. I went to Ulta and tried a sample on. At that time, late September I think, when I still had a tan, the shade “light” was a perfect match. Since it is pricey, I …
