Beauty Blogazons Thanksgiving Weekend Roundup 2014
For those of you who live in the U.S., hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. We had a big crowd at my cousin’s house. Though I love going there, I do miss not having leftovers 😕 Here are this week’s beauty blogposts from Beauty Blogazons. I think they’ll provide some inspiration as you think about …
Beauty Products I’m Thankful For
It’s almost Thanksgiving, and I’ve joined together with some of the members of The Beauty Council to put together a list of the beauty products that we’re thankful for. So after you take a look at my list, check out the other gals’ posts listed below! Now, it may sound a little frivolous to be …
Kiss InstaWave Automatic Hair Curler
Kiss Products, the maker of fabulous faux nails and lashes, is branching out. Kiss has just launched a new automatic hair curler. It’s a step beyond a regular curling iron with very cool new technology! For a change of pace, I like to curl my hair. I have a curling iron but it was hard …
Giveaway & Holiday Gift Idea: High-Quality, Affordable ShaveMob Razor & Cartridges
I have used the same brand of razor and blades/cartridges for a zillion years, like forever. OK, I did stray once, and I tried the number two brand, but I didn’t like it. I went back to my one and only. A new company called ShaveMob asked me if I would be interested in trying out …
Revlon Photoready Eye Art: Ready for Holiday Parties!
I’m a big fan of cream shadows, so when I saw a video review of Revlon Photoready Eye Art, I knew I “needed” it. There were about 5 or 6 different color options on the display, though the Revlon website shows 10 options. I chose Peach Prism, a peachy/light coppery shade that I thought would …
Weekend Update: Beauty Blog Coalition 23 November 2014
Saturday certainly has been a busy day. Jeff and I went out to lunch in Gloucester, then to an opening at Jeff Weaver’s art gallery and finally to a movie – a very dark comedy called Listen Up Phillip – at the Cape Ann Cinema, a cool theater that has couches and easy chairs and let’s …
Ombre-ish Mani with Zoya Naturels
I love the Zoya neutral shades. Don’t get me wrong, I love Zoya’s bright colors and Pixie Dusts too, but the Naturels collections really speak to me. I reorganized all my nail polish when I recently bought the triple stacked apothecary storage jar (reviewed here), and the shades that I own from the two Zoya Naturels collections …
Makeup Storage Tip: More Fun with Apothecary Jars
A couple of months ago, I showed you my storage method for my makeup brushes: a pretty apothecary jar that I found at HomeGoods. Well, here’s another one for even more storage. This one is a large 3-compartment, stacked apothecary jar. It’s perfect for storing most of my extensive nail polish collection, and my …

Ipsy November 2014 “Girl Meets Glitter”
Gee, the months just fly by. It’s ipsy time again! I’m having a good streak. I like everything I received this month in my November “Girl Meets Glitter” glam bag. The sparkly silver bag alone was enough for me, lol. But even though I didn’t get the prestige brands Calvin Klein or Laura Mercier …
InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum & Moroccan Rose Water
InstaNatural is a brand that was new to me. I had an opportunity to try out two of their facial skincare products through my participation in Tomoson.com. I received InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum, and I also chose Moroccan Rose Water. Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum I must say I am becoming a vitamin C serum …

Sephora VIB Haul and Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup November 15, 2014
So how was your week? I had a special event this week. My friend Sybille treated me and two of our friends to see a production of Les Miz at the North Shore Music Theater. I hadn’t seen the play in about 20 years, since I saw it on Broadway in its initial run. It was a wonderful show, and …
Gratiae Exfoliating Body Scrub: Pure Luxury
A few weeks ago, I received Gratiae Exfoliating Body Scrub to try out via my association with Tomoson.com. Upon opening the box, I realized that this product was something special. The body scrub was beautifully wrapped in cream-colored branded wrapping paper. That reminded me of fancy apples or pears that are wrapped with paper to protect …
