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 …
MyChelle Dermaceuticals is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to natural, cruelty-free, affordable skincare products. Their cream and spray sunscreens are my go-tos in the summer. And if you have not sniffed and tried their pumpkin skincare line including my favorite Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser, you are truly missing out. So I was …
A zillion years ago when I got a real job while I was still in graduate school, I used the little bit of extra cash in my pocket to buy skincare products. I worked in midtown Manhattan at the Guttmann Breast Cancer Diagnostic Center as an interviewer, and our office wasn’t far from both B. …
By all indicators, this has been a mild winter in Massachusetts. The snow held off until February, so unless it continues into April, heaven forbid, I guess I can’t complain too much. But of course I will complain some. I’m getting ready to go out and shovel again. We got another 3-4 inches. Here’s the …
The Body Shop really has been hitting the ball out of the park lately with its new skincare products. I am so impressed with the 5 masks that I have, and the body butters are everyone’s favorites! I recently received two new products to try: Drops of Youth Liquid Peel Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Eye …

January was a tough month, but nevertheless, I managed to use up some more beauty products. Good thing coz it’s getting really crowded around here! I used up a good mix of different kinds of beauty products this month, and not just skincare. Here’s a look at what hits the recycling and whether it …
I’ve been singing the praises of StriVectin’s TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream (reviewed here) for over a year now. In fact, it was one of my favorite skincare products of 2016. It’s a thick, super rich cream that really works for me with my mature skin, but I’ve found that some women, often younger women, find it …
It’s been a while since I’ve worn a BB cream. Lately, I’ve been mostly wearing stick foundation or CC cream as a fast foundation. But this BB cream is from Mineral Fusion, a natural mineral brand that I like a lot, so I was happy to try it. Illuminating Mineral Beauty Balm is a multi-tasker: …
Today, I’ve got two unique exfoliating products to tell you about. I haven’t seen anything like either one of them. PUR Cosmetics Joystick Exfoliating Deep Pore Cleanser My pores aren’t usually that big or noticeable thank goodness. But recently I was surprised to see that when I applied too much foundation, it settled into my …
I’m so embarrassed. I should know better. But even beauty bloggers can be taken in by the siren song of a deal and the words, “Shark Tank”! On New Year’s Day, I was coming down with a bad cold and bronchitis and instead of going to my friend’s New Year’s Day open house, I was …
I’ve become a major fan of oils for my skin, hair and nails. I’m always on the lookout for the next wonderful one. I’ve got two to introduce you to today. Shine Brightening Oil A few months ago, I wrote about Wink Lash Serum from Amalie Beauty (review here). I love the serum and the …
I am a devotee of neck creams. Once you reach a certain age, everyone (men too!) should use a neck cream. The neck is an area, like the backs of the hands, that really shows signs of aging, but it’s often forgotten in terms of care. If you’re still young, at least use your moisturizer …
My fever has gone away, thank goodness. Even though I still have stuffed sinuses and chest congestion and cough, I am feeling a bit better. Yay. So I thought I’d do a quick “Friday Find”. My “Friday Finds” are often things I find in my stash that I had forgotten about that are really good …
I ended the year with a lot of empties to recycle. Yay! Here’s what I used up in December 2016. Skincare and Bath & Body Cleo Shower Cream, Vanilla: I was sad to come to the end of this bottle of Italian shower cream. It smells like heaven and leaves my skin feeling hydrated …
