Speaking of products I got in my Ipsy/Boxycharm boxes, here’s another one that I really like. Murad Renewing Cleansing Cream. Calling the white pearlescent product a “cleansing cream” is a strange descriptor, IMHO. Maybe because I grew up with Dove commercial that referenced “one-quarter cleansing cream”. And Pond’s Cold Cream also described as …
It’s late, so this will be a quick review tonight. Although I seemed to have stopped reviewing my Ipsy/Boxycharm boxes that I get every two months, I still find gems in the boxes. If you are tired of thick, sticky lipglosses, check out Mellow Lip Gloss. You’ll be amazed! Mellow Lip Gloss is super-lightweight, …
Finally, this weekend, it was finally warm enough outdoors to wear shorts and short sleeves! And with more skin exposed to the sun, I needed to wear sunscreen on more than just my face and neck. In March, I was contacted by the new owner of the sunscreen brand, Rubber Ducky, that’s been around since …
Gosh, 2024 is absolutely speeding on by! Slow down, please! The weather has been lovely, and even my grass is growing as are my perennials. In addition, I discovered that peppermint oil can stop the chipmunk(s) from digging a huge hole in my lawn and tile area! We’re hoping to go to a local farm …
Like I need another hydrating face serum, right? But I couldn’t resist an ad on Facebook to try out just such a product from natural, clean beauty, cruelty-free, and vegan brand, Fleur & Bee. (Since “bee” is in the name, I didn’t think it was vegan, but I guess the products do not include ingredients …
My color-treated red hair is the poster child for fading. Red is the shade that fades the fastest. Plus where I live, we have hard water from all of the minerals in the water. Heck, my house was built on rocks. Plus I’m outdoors almost all day in the sun, most without wearing a hat. …

One of my favorite local lunch places, Tartine, a Belgian restaurant, had been in Beverly for almost 10 years. I was sorry to see it go. But I was excited when I learned that one of my favorite tea shops from Salem MA was planning to open a second location in the former Tartine. Yay! …
I’m not sure how many of you read my “head’s up” on the May 4 Beauty Spotlight Team post about the big sale on Artis brushes on the 260 Sample Sale website. The Artis makeup brushes were 70% off! I bought two brushes from the Rose Gold collection: I paid $21 for the Oval 6 …
Three weeks late and at least a dollar short – that’s me with my April empties post! Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the number of products to write mini-reviews on, and I just delay doing it. But today, I will do it. Project Pan Update for April I ended March with 31 empties. In April, …
After we returned from our trip to North Carolina, I reviewed Mountain Mist Handmade Shea Creme here, and I told you how well the Cashmere Vanilla fragrance in the body butter suited me. The Cashmere Vanilla scent is described by Mountain Mist as “warm and welcoming oatmeal with a rich vanilla scent”. Frankly, I don’t …

Are you familiar with the very unique toothbrush with the big angled head? I have been intrigued by RADIUS for the longest time. The oral care brand RADIUS certainly has made waves in the industry for the past 40 years! It is well-known as an oral care pioneer, and it is the #1 oral …
Finally, we had our first day in the 70s, and in some areas of Massachusetts, it made it to 80. The sunshine and warm temperatures have put me in the mood for summer scents especially my perennial beachy favorite, coconut. Although I have about a million body lotions, creams and butters, the summery days made …

At the end of September last year, I wrote about a lipstick that I got from Ipsy. I think I bought it as an add-on product, and I had forgotten about it when it arrived. In fact, I didn’t even know which brand it was, but it turns out it was from Too Faced, a …

In writing this review of Versed Smooth Landing Eye Balm, I want you to know that I am a certified eye cream addict. I need to join Eyecream Anonymous but I won’t. I keep searching for the perfect eye product and since this mania doesn’t hurt anyone other than my wallet I think it’s safe. …
In December, I placed an order with Korres. I can’t remember for sure if I bought the terrific holiday box, “Spread Joy”, Olive Blossom trio in order to spend enough money to get points that would get me a free product, but I think that’s what happened. What I remember is that the “Spread Joy” …
