When I went to Sephora to use my holiday coupon, I thought I was going to redeem my 500 Sephora points for the 500 point gift. But my head was turned by the special “gift with purchase” mini-nail polish from Deborah Lippmann. 99 Luftballons was just sitting there all sparkly and red, and …
Time is moving on, and Hanukah is a few days away and Christmas is in less than two weeks. Oh my. If you are still thinking about gifts to get, here are a few more suggestions to go along with the early picks I wrote about a couple of weeks ago here. Just …
And another vitamin C serum joins the pantheon of wonderful serums! I had the opportunity to try Valentia Even Glow Serum with Vitamin C 20%. Even though I’ve tried about a million vitamin C serums over the past year or so, I am always up for trying new ones. As I mentioned last time, each …
The holidays are definitely here, and earlier this week I attended my first holiday party with lots more on the calendar. And just in time, I was given the opportunity to try Gabriel Cosmetics Zuzu Luxe Peep Show Palette, a very holiday-oriented eye and cheek palette. Back in the spring, I purchased my first Gabriel Cosmetics product, …
Another week has rolled by, and I still have more holiday shopping to do. How ’bout you? I stopped by Sephora today because I got the holiday discount, and although I made VIB status a month ago, it wasn’t reflected on my discount. However, my local Sephora adjusted it for me. Thanks, Sephora! Did you …
A couple of months ago I decided to try some inexpensive cleansing wipes from Forever 21 at the recommendation from a fellow blogger. The store didn’t have any of the lavender cleansing wipes she mentioned, so I went with the Cocoa Shea Butter wipes because they said “moisturizing” on the packaging. What a terrible …
I’ve been wanting to try Paula Dorf cosmetics for a while now. The brand is known for high quality cosmetics and innovative problem-solving products such as Transformer® (from eye shadow to liquid liner) and Perfect Illusion® for lips (ends feathering lips) among others. So I was very happy to have an opportunity through Brandbacker to get …
Since we’re all thinking holiday gifts, I wanted to share two Bite Beauty lip products that I bought recently and have mentioned in at least one of my other posts: Best Bite Remix: Mini-Pencil Set Luminous Creme Lipstick Duos I was late to Bite Beauty, but I really wanted to try this brand especially for lipstick. …
It’s almost Thanksgiving, and I’ve joined together with some of the members of The Beauty Council to put together a list of the beauty products that we’re thankful for. So after you take a look at my list, check out the other gals’ posts listed below! Now, it may sound a little frivolous to be …
Kiss Products, the maker of fabulous faux nails and lashes, is branching out. Kiss has just launched a new automatic hair curler. It’s a step beyond a regular curling iron with very cool new technology! For a change of pace, I like to curl my hair. I have a curling iron but it was hard …
I’m a big fan of cream shadows, so when I saw a video review of Revlon Photoready Eye Art, I knew I “needed” it. There were about 5 or 6 different color options on the display, though the Revlon website shows 10 options. I chose Peach Prism, a peachy/light coppery shade that I thought would …
InstaNatural is a brand that was new to me. I had an opportunity to try out two of their facial skincare products through my participation in Tomoson.com. I received InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum, and I also chose Moroccan Rose Water. Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum I must say I am becoming a vitamin C serum …
So how was your week? I had a special event this week. My friend Sybille treated me and two of our friends to see a production of Les Miz at the North Shore Music Theater. I hadn’t seen the play in about 20 years, since I saw it on Broadway in its initial run. It was a wonderful show, and …
A few weeks ago, I received Gratiae Exfoliating Body Scrub to try out via my association with Tomoson.com. Upon opening the box, I realized that this product was something special. The body scrub was beautifully wrapped in cream-colored branded wrapping paper. That reminded me of fancy apples or pears that are wrapped with paper to protect …
