I think I’ve finally found the BB cream I’ve been searching for: Bobbi Brown BB Cream. Browsing around my “laboratory” — AKA the Sephora on Boylston Street in Boston, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular.

Revlon Photoready BB Cream
I recently read a couple of reviews by younger beauty bloggers of Revlon Photoready BB Cream that were quite positive, so I thought I’d give it a try on my “mature”, dry, sun damaged skin. Torture test, right? I’m looking for a BB cream to use when I don’t feel like taking the time to …
Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, one of my favorite holidays, because I am and have always been a collector of hearts. Strangely, it is something I have not outgrown. I have heart-shaped everything. And I’m easy to buy gifts for: anything with a heart will do. So, it comes as no surprise that I would …
SEPHORA by OPI At-Home Gel Manicure System

Spring Fever
I have no right to complain because, tho’ my yard has more snow than anyone else in the ‘hood, it hasn’t been a bad winter. In fact, winter hasn’t really even started yet. Maybe it’s the temps in the 40s and the melting snow that’s doing it, but I feel like spring is right around …

Lierac Paris Skincare: European Pharmacy Brand
Whenever I go to Europe (which is not nearly as often as I would wish), I always go to the pharmacy to look for new skincare products…the stores with the green cross on the sign outside the front door. The department stores in Europe carry the same international brands that we all know — Clinique, …
Cleo Shower Cream Review
Other bloggers and reviewers have written about Cleo Shower Cream, but I have to add my two cents. I absolutely ADORE this product, and I am writing this shout-out in the hopes that I can beg the manufacturer to begin to make this product available in the U.S. again. Cleo Shower Cream is a shower …
Salma Hayek Nuance Renewed Radiance SPF 30 Moisturizing Day Cream
A while back, I was searching for an affordable daytime moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30, and I found Salma Hayek Nuance product line at CVS. Priced right ($16.99 at CVS and even less on Amazon) and in attractive, clean-looking black & white packaging, I thought I’d give Salma Hayek Nuance Renewed Radiance …
Appearex: Biotin 2.5mg Supplement — Nail Care
Do your nails ever split? I’m talking about a split that starts at the top of your fingernail or toenail and may go part or all the way down to the nail bed. Unfortunately, I have. Splits may be associated with menopause, nail trauma, etc. Figuring out what to do about it can be a …
