A couple of days ago, I wrote about my recent MAC mini-haul, and I showed swatches of MAC’s Satin Lipstick, Sushi Kiss. I’m on the fence about it, although I’m beginning to think it’s a nice summer shade. The more I use it, the more it reminds me of the pale pastel, retro shades that …

Several months ago, Beauty Spotlight Team started a new feature, Most Repurchased Beauty Products. Before I was a blogger, I bought the exact same products over and over again, often for decades! But now as a beauty blogger, I am often required to test new products and I have to stop using something I love …
I am always on the lookout for lightweight sunscreens especially for my face. Though I prefer physical sunscreens to the chemical ones, I do use both. On Renu’s blog, Cosmetopiadigest, I read her mini-review of Country & Stream Honey UV Water Gel SPF 32, and I was intrigued because she said it was lightweight. When …
Did you see the movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea? I did and though I think the movie was more about the people of Gloucester, it was a terrific movie and Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful town. My aunt was visiting with me over the holiday weekend, and today she helped me work on a floral display that my friend, …
I hope you’ve had as fun a weekend as I did. It seems like non-stop events and get-togethers since the middle of last week! And today my aunt is coming to visit for a day or two, so I’m dashing off this post. I hope I’ll be able to get one up for Thursday but …
