There are so many gorgeous nail polishes these days, it’s hard to keep a favorite for long. But right now, mine is Danni from Zoya. I picked it up during their 3 for $12 special back in January, but I just got around to trying it a few days ago. I was expecting a lot …
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 …
I admire all the girls who can do fancy manis. I can’t. I am manicure-challenged. I can do OK on my right hand, but forget my left. I’m a lefty and I can’t do anything much with my right hand. But I hate to miss out on all the fun. So topcoats are the way …
Zoya, one of my favorite nail polish brands, had a great promo in January: buy 3 polishes and pay only $12 shipping/get the polish free. What a deal because their polishes are usually $9-10 each! I fell in love with one of Zoya’s new shades, part of the Naturel Collection for Spring 2014, Brigitte, a …
Seems like only yesterday that Ulta had a Family and Friends promotion. (Yeah, it ended on January 18, lol!) And now they’re offering a new promotion. I just got the postcard in the mail yesterday. I guess January is a slow month for retail beauty purchases. But there’s a bit of confusion. The Thank You …
New Year’s Eve is tomorrow night, yikes! Though the holidays are almost over for this year, I want to show you a gorgeous nail polish that you could certainly wear tomorrow night or for Valentine’s Day or anytime, if you’re a glitter girl like me. Milani Ruby Jewels. Ruby Jewels is a true red with …
Yesterday, one of my friends asked me which nail polish I was wearing in the video I made of my December Celebration ipsy bag. It’s Orly Nail Lacquer, and the shade is Tiara. …
Mid-December has arrived and so has my December “Celebration” ipsy bag! I was away when it arrived and the temperature outside that day in MA was 3 degrees! I was afraid the makeup was going to freeze and break. My friend Kim was kind enough to go out in the snowstorm and take it out …
Last week, Pantone, the color experts, introduced the Color of 2014, Radiant Orchid — a mixture of pink, raspberry, purple, plum, and fuschia. (At least that’s what I think it’s a mixture of.) Radiant Orchid is quite different from the trend of the last couple of years – emerald, tangerine — because it’s softer. I …
The holidays are here, and what better time for a makeup giveaway from Milani! I am so excited about this giveaway because I love, love, love these lip-shaped makeup cases filled with gorgeous …
Several weeks ago, I entered a giveaway on Cosmetics Aficionado‘s beauty blog to win a limited edition, sold out, MAC RiRi Diamonds Cream Colour Base (a face shimmer cream, highlighter product). To my absolute shock, I won! Leticia of CA was incredibly generous, and she tucked a couple of extras in with my prize. One …
You’re sick of listening to me complain about delivery problems with my ipsy bag. Well, not this month! My November “Glam It Up” ipsy bag arrived within four days of the notification email on November 11. So that means it arrived in my mailbox in the middle of the month rather than at the end …
A year ago, my friend Sue told me she just finished reading The Hunger Games. Her twenty-something daughter recommended it, and Sue enjoyed it a lot. She suggested that I might like it too. Unfortunately, I’ve never enjoyed dystopian novels and I definitely think I’m well out of the target audience, so I passed. And …
Pantone’s color of 2013 is emerald, and I have enjoyed experimenting with this shade more than the colors of previous years (orange, yellow). Just looking in my closet and in my jewelry box, I realized I have a lot of emerald. Since 2013 is marching right along, I’ve been trying to wear emerald more often. …
Last week, I did my nails in Milani Natural Touch nude nail lacquer. If you caught my post a couple of days ago on My Quest for the Perfect Nude, you know that I love that nude shade that goes well with my skin tone and is perfect with Milani Naturally Chic (nude) Color Statement …
