PR Samples I’m so happy that I can wear makeup again and be seen. Wearing (and hiding) behind a mask took its toll on my mood. I am so ready to see and be seen again and SKONE COSMETICS has sent me some fun so I can do just that. I’ve previously reviewed SKONE …
Before the holidays in December, I succumbed to an ad on Facebook from a Chinese brand of makeup that I had never heard of before, Florasis. But the makeup they were advertising was so gorgeous that I couldn’t look away. Of course, Facebook kept showing that ad in my feed just about every day. I …
I learned something new this week when I started to write about my experience with Vasanti Cosmetics Brighten Up! Glow Boosting Serum. Even though I’ve used (and loved) several Vasanti products I never knew the origin of the brand. These are the ladies we need to give credit to for a brand that is par …

PR samples Hard Candy has some new spring items available at Walmart that you really should take a look at. You probably don’t remember but at one time Hard Candy was sold in the prestige section at Ulta. I worked as a makeup artist there and the brand was especially popular with teens and …
I purchased this It’s so nice to find a product that works and is so affordable. EVELINE COSMETICS is an international brand that has many products for the eyes. There was talk about this on Facebook and I decided to take the plunge (I think it cost me $5 a few months ago, it’s now …
I Bought This In the earlier years of Never Say Die Beauty (2014 to be exact), I often wrote about my favorite mascara, L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza (reviewed here). It was primarily a lengthening mascara that also provided volume that was supposed to give the lashes a fanned out look. Because my eyes are downturned, …
I Bought This, PR Sample, Affiliate Links For me, 2022 continues to be off to a good start when it comes to using up beauty products. I am following up January’s significant number of empties with 14 more in February, 13 of the 14 I bought myself and 5 I have already repurchased. Here’s what …
PR Sample Two things I like to buy: eyeshadows and eye creams. I’m sure I have enough of both to share with most of you but that doesn’t mean I’d give up the new elina organics Naturally You palette. I won’t. I’m mesmerized by it in general but one shade has me absolutely fascinated. …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Half Caked Totally Tubular Mascara Half Caked Beauty’s The Heights Totally Tubular Mascara was one of my favorite makeup finds in 2021.

I Bought This, Affiliate Links Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Kajal Eyeliners were one of my best makeup discoveries in 2021. I love how creamy they are, how they glide on, and stay on. I adore the gunmetal shade, Sea Grey (currently sold out) that I bought in December, and the very dark charcoal that actually looks …
PR Samples I hope you’ve had a chance to read my C’est Moi review. The eye products are excellent. They were created with a younger person in mind because they are gentle, easy to apply, vegan, cruelty-free and conveniently priced. Target is their main outlet but you can also buy on their website and …
PR Samples, Informational Links People don’t always think of Target as their favorite store to buy cosmetics, but that’s a big mistake. Not only do they carry a huge amount of beauty and skincare but their products run the gamut on price. One of my favorites is C’est Moi which is a Target exclusive. The …
Whether you celebrate Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day, sometimes it’s nice to recognize a daughter, daughter-in-law, niece, aunt, cousin, special friend, or neighbor with a little treat around Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It doesn’t have to be chocolates or flowers. It should be something that marks the day and recognizes the …
After slightly missing my mark for 2021, I have started off 2022’s Project Pan with a bang. Lots of empties of all sizes and in all beauty categories. (Ignore the Vegamour jar. It was from November, but I was saving the useful glass jar. When I discovered it, it was too late to take the …
