Most days I wear BB or CC Cream. It seems easy to just a squeeze or pump a little onto my brush or Beauty Blender, and I’m good to go. But I’m often on the lookout for a good foundation. I remember a couple of years ago, my friend Kim asked me for a recommendation …
Rose Gold Spring Makeup, Nails and Accessories
The ladies of The Beauty Collaborative got together and decided to put together all of our favorite looks for Spring 2015. I think it will be very interesting to see all the different spring makeup looks that everyone has come up with. So after you read my post, please check out the other gals’ posts listed …
Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil
Are you familiar with Chella? I first discovered Chella in one of my ipsy bags. About a year ago, I got to try a beautiful indigo blue, easy-to-apply liquid eyeliner with a felt tip. Since then, I learned that Chella is also known as Chella Brow Bar, located in Westlake CA, and they sell …
YSL Mascara Volume Effets Faux Cils: Luxury Mascara
I always drool over the makeup I see in stores and in reviews from Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. The packaging alone is enough to throw me into fits of longing. I love the silver or gold metal cases and the way the logo is wrought in metal. A big step up from most of the plastic …
Another Little CVS Makeup Haul
I like CVS because the stores are so darn convenient. There’s one on almost every corner, lol. But their makeup prices are definitely higher than Walmart and even Target. To make up for it, they have ExtraBucks and Beauty Club rewards. I just shared my CVS Maybelline haul from a little over a week ago. …
March Maybelline Haul
I had some CVS Extrabucks, and CVS had a couple of great 30% off coupons since the beginning of March. So I took advantage of the situation and purchased a couple of items I needed and a couple I wanted to try. Maybelline has really been rockin’ it IMHO. It was the first brand of makeup I ever used …
Holiskin Handmade Natural/Organic Skincare
I enjoy making things by hand: jam, crocheted clothing and accessories, bread, jewelry, crafts. And I appreciate and love to use things that are handmade by others. That’s why I even have a category on my blog called Artisan Spotlight. Over the years, I have discovered several artisans whose handmade skincare products I return to over …
St. Patrick’s Day Face of the Day
I have red hair, and I live in the Boston suburbs so some people think I’m Irish. They think my last name – Cohen – is Cohan. Though I’m not Irish, I join the crowd around here and play one on Saint Patrick’s Day. I break out my Celtic’s jacket whether they’re winning or not (this …
Clean Up with Simple Micellar Water and Eye Makeup Remover
For about a year or so, I read about Micellar Water mostly from women who lived in Canada or Europe or Asia. Although Micellar Water was available in the U.S., it was harder and more expensive to come by. Not so any longer. Micellar Water can be had in the drugstore now in the U.S. …
Rodan + Fields Redefine Regimen and Acute Care
I have been wanting to try Rodan + Fields Skincare for the longest time. Just in case you’re not familiar with it, Rodan + Fields line of skincare products was developed by Stanford-trained dermatologists, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields. I am grateful to the blogging group, iFabbo, for making it happen now! I received the Rodan + Fields …
My Gloss48.com Lipgloss Haul
Nothing gives a girl a lift like new lipstick or lipgloss or lip color anything! Last Friday, I received 4 new lip glosses from Gloss48.com, two from a brand I know quite well LipTini, and two were new brands for me: Tat2U and LuMesh. What I love most about Gloss48 is that it’s a fantastic …
Jordana Color Tint Blush Sticks Spring 2015
I’m really taken by all the new products and shades being introduced by Jordana for Spring 2015. The Modern Mattes (reviewed here) are definitely my favorite matte lipstick, and I also seem to be reaching for them more than any other lippie of any kind, matte or not. And the Easyliner lip pencils go on …
Gabriel Organics Seaweed Hydrating Mask
I’m a fan of Gabriel Organics. Last year, I reviewed one of the lipsticks and the fabulous Zuzu Luxe Peepshow Palette that amped up my holiday looks! I love the fact that I can use their wonderful makeup products without any concerns. So I was happy that they sent me one of their skincare products to …
NeoStrata Intensive Eye Therapy
About a week ago, I received a deluxe sample of NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy. Last summer, I tried NeoStrata’s Exuviance Illumination Set, part of the brightening/even tone line of products. I liked the moisturizer and vitamin C powder and was impressed by the fact that the founding scientists discovered the role that glycolic acid can play …
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain and Easy Liner for Lips
I’m loving all the lip products I recently received from Jordana for Spring 2015. It’s an embarrassment of riches! Today, I’d like to show you the new additions to the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain and the Easyliner for Liips product lines. Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain Jordana has added …
