A few weeks ago, my favorite Australian beauty blogger reviewed a few skincare products by Michael Todd. I believe it was a cleanser and a face mask, and there might have been a third product. The comments on the blogpost were quite positive about Michael Todd products. Someone mentioned that they had bought it from …

Ulta Color Coat Cream Shadow: Rose Gold & Topaz
A few months ago, I wrote a review of CoverGirl’s Perfect Penny, rose gold nail polish. And I mentioned how much I LOVE rose gold. To me, it’s the prettiest of the metals, and I think it’s the most flattering with my coloring. I think it looks great on women of all skintones and coloring …
Pilfered Beauty Tip: An Easy Way to Apply Liquid Eyeliner
OK, I have to come clean. I didn’t come up with this idea myself. Not at all. Yesterday, I visited a bunch of beauty blogs, and I read a post about an easier way to apply liquid eyeliner from Gio, a European beauty blogger at BeautifulwithBrains. Thank you, oh wise beauty blogger, for sharing this …
More Good News from Ulta: 20% off Coupon till February 1, 2014
Seems like only yesterday that Ulta had a Family and Friends promotion. (Yeah, it ended on January 18, lol!) And now they’re offering a new promotion. I just got the postcard in the mail yesterday. I guess January is a slow month for retail beauty purchases. But there’s a bit of confusion. The Thank You …

In February, Milani is coming out with new lip shades for Spring 2014, and the Power Lip line is one of my favorites. In fact, I saw 5 of the new Power Lip shades in a special display at CVS today! So far, I’ve had the opportunity to try 4 of the 7 new colors …
My January 2014 ipsy Bag: Focus on the Face
I always seem to receive my monthly subscription beauty bag from ipsy later than other bloggers. So this month, I purposely didn’t look at any of the posts and reviews by others because, as usual, I wanted to be surprised. It arrived in the mail on Saturday while I was at Jeff’s for the weekend. …
Milani Anti-Feathering Transparent Lipliner
My friend Miriam told me I should review Dior’s universal lipliner. I loved the idea of not having to have a million matching lipliner pencils like I have now. So I went to Sephora to check it out, and I discovered that the Dior lipliner costs $30. At that price, I passed. I was thrilled …
Almay Shadow Softies: Smoke
A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a new eye shadow at CVS from a new Almay display. I haven’t purchased anything from Almay in a long time. Also, there was a tester attached to the display (and it was unused!), so I tried it out and I liked the feel of the shadow. …

I Made DIY Lipstick Balm from Crayons

Radical Skincare Instant Revitalizing Mask
For the New Year last January 2013, I made a couple of beauty and health resolutions to go along with my new blog. I regret to say that I didn’t keep them. 🙁 The health-related resolution was to drink more water. I try, but I still don’t get close to 8 glasses a day. And …
