I’m not doing a little video of my Ipsy bag this month. There were only 4 items inside, and they weren’t even mostly full size. So I think a photo will suffice. One of the things I liked the most in the March, Destination Beauty bag, was the makeup bag it came in. I love …

My New Fave Shade: Danni from Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer
There are so many gorgeous nail polishes these days, it’s hard to keep a favorite for long. But right now, mine is Danni from Zoya. I picked it up during their 3 for $12 special back in January, but I just got around to trying it a few days ago. I was expecting a lot …

Winged Out Eyelashes from L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
I don’t wear L’Oreal makeup very often. I don’t know why I’m not so drawn to the brand these days. But the new Voluminous Butterfly Mascara has been on my radar screen, and I decided to use my 20% off coupon and $4 discount from the CVS Beauty Club to try it and a liquid …
Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads
Last year, I made a New Year’s Resolution to exfoliate more often. Well, so much for that one. I didn’t renew that resolution this year. My intentions were good, but it seemed to be too much to do at night before going to bed: applying a thick exfoliating cream with gritty beads that are hard …
Spring 2014 Ulta 21 Days of Beauty
Just up on Ulta’s website: Ulta’s Spring 2014 21 Days of Beauty! I have learned from experience that if there’s something you really really want, make sure you get to the store early, like right when it opens because it could be gone by the time you get there, even an hour after opening! Each …

Napoleon Perdis Empress Lip Palette
Back in late November, I entered a giveaway on the Beautyholics Anonymous blog, and to my surprise I was one of the winners announced just before Christmas! And what was also such fun was that I had no idea what I won! (BTW, if you don’t know her already, Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous is a very …
Milani Coming Up Roses Blush, Spring 2014
A couple of months ago, I reviewed Milani Coming Up Roses Blush, a limited edition that seemed to be in very limited supply at CVS during the second half of 2013. I imagine that due to the popularity of that LE, Milani has come back with more new shades of the Coming Up Roses Blush …

It’s March for heaven’s sake. Give it up, ole’ man winter! Move along! Midnight Velvet to the rescue! Yesterday, …
