Wine, oxblood, crimson, maroon, black cherry — whatever you’d like to call it — is hot for this fall and winter. I don’t usually wear dark shades, but I felt the need to get on the bandwagon. Because I don’t always choose right, I thought I’d start with a super-affordable wine lippie…that way I won’t …
You’re sick of listening to me complain about delivery problems with my ipsy bag. Well, not this month! My November “Glam It Up” ipsy bag arrived within four days of the notification email on November 11. So that means it arrived in my mailbox in the middle of the month rather than at the end …
Bees are our friends, and they are under siege. I know a number of people in my area who have lost their hives in the past few years. I have been growing lavender and catmint to help the bees, and it sure seems to attract them. I love honey. It’s delicious, and it’s rich in …
I’m not a makeup artist, so I really don’t do makeup tutorials. But from time to time, I come up with a look that I like that I think is worth sharing. So I’d like to share this autumn look. In July, in my first ipsy bag (a $10 a month beauty product subscription service), I …
Since I started the blog a year ago, I sure have bought a lot of beauty products! But I still like to use up what I buy, at least most of the time. I recently finished up several products, and I thought I’d share with you which I’ll repurchase and which I won’t. …
A couple of months ago, I published a list of ingredients that are often found in skincare and makeup products along with either a definition or explanation of what they are. I was a little surprised that it didn’t generate more comments or more visits. I guess unless there’s something that you want to avoid …
A year ago, my friend Sue told me she just finished reading The Hunger Games. Her twenty-something daughter recommended it, and Sue enjoyed it a lot. She suggested that I might like it too. Unfortunately, I’ve never enjoyed dystopian novels and I definitely think I’m well out of the target audience, so I passed. And …
I’m still a liquid eyeliner novice. Back in May, I received a limited edition medium brown felt tip eyeliner from essence. It’s the perfect shade for me, and the felt tip that’s part of the slim pen is so easy to use that I can’t make a mistake. I’ve had it a while, and it …
I like essence’s coverstick concealer, and I reviewed it a few months ago. I found it to be as effective as my Stila stick concealer at covering up my dark spots but at a much lower price. Recently I rediscovered the essence match2cover concealer compact in my makeup stash unused, since I got it a …
While strolling on Main St. at the last summer Block Party in Gloucester at the end of September, I spied a pair of gorgeous booties in the window of Mark Adrian Shoes. They were a combination of smooth matte black leather on the foot, appliqued charcoal grey leather on the instep and ankle, and patent …
For months, I was literally on the hunt for Milani Limited Edition Coming Up Roses Blush. I saw it in the late spring or early summer, I believe, on a West Coast blogger’s blog, and I had to have it. She had purchased it at Walgreen’s, so all summer I went to every Walgreen’s I encountered, …
Clinique is doing a very brief online gift with $25 purchase. I believe it’s on today and perhaps tomorrow so act fast if it’s one that you like. It has a gift similar to the October gift at Macy’s, but the bag is different and quite cute. Here’s the link: Clinique.com Here’s what you get …
I’m a big fan of Ageless Derma’s products.They are research-based, and they contain natural and state-of-the-art ingredients. I use several products in the skincare line, and I like them a lot. So I was excited to try the Ageless Derma Loose Mineral Foundation. …
The season has changed to autumn, and here in New England, I’ve turned the heat on in my house. That means drier air inside the house. And winter, that’s just around the corner, usually means drier air outside, too. My skin always feels so much drier in the winter. Besides switching to a heavier moisturizer, …
Congratulations to Nicole Lancaster, the winner of the Kiss Gradient Nail Polish Kit giveaway! I was amazed at how many people entered the giveaway and liked and followed etc. Wow! And thanks to all of you who participated and liked and subscribed and followed Never Say Die Beauty. I really appreciate it! There are at …
