I’m often on the hunt for eye treatment products that will help slow down the hands of time. I probably use eye treatment products in a different way from most women. In addition to using it under my eyes to lighten dark circles and firm skin and at the corners to minimize the appearance of …
Taking a fragrant, warm bath is so instantly relaxing. Putting on some great music. Maybe lighting a candle. And adding a beautiful, fragrant bath bomb is the frosting on the cake. I love to slip into the pretty colored fizzy water. So when I think about Mother’s Day, bath and body products are often at the …
Today I went into Boston to get my hair colored and cut, or so I thought. It turns out I didn’t have an appointment to have my hair cut after all. I am sure I asked the receptionist a month ago to make me an appointment with both my colorist and my stylist. Oh well, …
I thought I had found my HG liquid foundation quite a while ago. I really love Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. It’s lightweight, it covers well, and Sand is almost a perfect match for my skintone. But my head has been turned by another liquid foundation, MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Foundation. A few …
Spring to me often means new lighter scents. And that’s where Farmhouse Fresh comes in. Although I adore their gourmand Whoopie Cream scented bath and body products, it’s great to change things up a bit. In time for the first leaves of spring, I’ve had a chance to try out the new Farmhouse Fresh Rainbow Road …
My mother used to sleep with a silk pillowcase to keep her bouffant hairstyle looking fresh between hairdresser appointments. It was one of the few beauty secrets that I remember her telling me about. She’s been gone for a long time now. So I was especially happy to have an opportunity to remember her by …
Serums are my jam. I can’t get enough. I wish I had discovered them when I was young, but they are a fairly recent addition to the skincare game. I thought that a moisturizer or anti-aging moisturizer could do it all, but a serum, lighter weight to get down deeper into the skin itself, really …
I love starting a new season with new makeup, especially make up in pretty colors! So I was excited to receive a nice big box from Jesse’s Girl a couple of weeks ago. Let’s get into it! Dream Girl Eyeshadow Palette I have Jesse’s Girl “The Eyes Have It” eyeshadow palette that I picked up …
I received two deluxe samples of backlight filter primers in subscription bags over the past year, and I’ve been intrigued by them. This isn’t a review. Just some random thoughts of mine and wondering what experiences you’ve had with them. April usually means a VIB discount at Sephora and maybe Ulta, so the two that …
MAKE UP FOR EVER has certainly been busy lately with a new campaign and a new flagship store. “BLEND IN. STAND OUT” Campaign The brand that is known for breaking down barriers in the beauty industry with a product line that reflects the diversity of people everywhere has launched a new campaign, “Blend In. …
Although I am a big fan of micellar water for removing my makeup, over the past few weeks I’ve noticed that I’m not getting all of my makeup off – especially my foundation – with micellar water on a cotton pad. I’ve been a little surprised at how much more comes off with toner after …
OMG, I am so exhausted that it requires too much energy to even breathe. I just got in from shoveling snow for 3 and a half hours. Our Nor’easter yesterday dropped about 7 inches of snow, much less than predicted, but then it turned to rain and compacted and drenched the snow, and then it …
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about Orchid Bliss Shampoo & Conditioner, my hair is an investment. Because I have “single process” uniform color, my grey roots start to show sometimes after as little as 3 weeks! There’s no way I can have my hair colored professionally every 3 weeks. Heck, even every 4 is …
February is a short month, but I seem to have collected a lot of empties! Yay, lots to recycle. Let’s see what’s repurchasing. Bath & Body Rituals SPA Sensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossoms Foaming Shower Gel: I adore the cherry blossom scent of this shower gel. In fact, this is my third …
Masqueology is a Korean sheet mask brand that I wrote about before Christmas. I recommended them as stocking stuffers or affordable small gifts. They’re available at Walmart, and at $2.50 a piece, they’re a really good deal. They have a pricier version sold at Dermstore. I’ve come across another Masqueology mask that I wanted to …
