I had another post I had planned to run today. But I noticed so many people seemed to be coming home from work early and leaving town today (Thursday) or getting ready to leave town tomorrow, that I changed my mind. Instead of a regular product review, I’ll just ramble for a minute or two …
This past Christmas season, I got a chance to try the Zuzu Luxe Holiday Palette from Gabriel Cosmetics (review and holiday look here). It’s such a great glam face and eye palette in a beautiful compact. I also like the regular Gabriel Cosmetics line, and so far, I’ve tried the Liquid Foundation (reviewed here) and …
It was the post office’s fault that my May 2015 ipsy bag got delivered first to a city 30 miles from where I live, next to my local post office (2 miles from my house) where it was sorted, then sent on to the Boston post office where it was sorted again and finally returned to the …
I’ve been collecting heart-shaped stuff for years and years. I’ve got quite a collection!

Before we get too deep into May, I’ll do a quick share of my April empties, the products I used up last month. Again, mostly skincare. One of these days, I’ll finish up some makeup. I know I will! Gillete Satin Care with Olay Shave Gel: I buy my shave gel in bulk at …

One of the most recent is pigment/color droplets that you can add to other products to customize the color: to create a foundation-like skin cover from your skincare products to add to a foundation or other makeup products to make the color a better fit with …
On Friday, I finally succumbed. I drove out to the mall and stopped in at L’Occitane to pick up the Spring 2015 L’Occibox. It’s been a while since I purchased anything from L’Occitane, and the $20 L’Occibox in the pretty cherry blossom decorated hat box was too good to pass up. I read reviews of the L’Occibox …

The founder and CEO and a cancer survivor herself, Lindy Snider, started the business and created the skincare line to help friends and family members who were going through radiation or chemotherapy.
