It seems that a lot of people are busy this week: getting kids back to school, taking a last summer vacation, starting the Labor Day weekend a day or two early. So I thought I would take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful weekend. And here’s a few more Labor Day weekend sales in …
I’m still very satisfied with the bras I’ve bought from Savage x Fenty (reviewed here and here). But to be clear, I wear underwire bras. Not everyone likes underwire, I know. But these are the most comfortable underwire bras ever. Recently, I’ve been talking to a couple of my friends about Savage x Fenty bras, …
I guess the partnership between the Frida Kahlo Corporation and brands isn’t limited to Ulta and Vans. My friend and sister blogger, Marcia from BeautyInfoZone, generously sent me a Frida Kahlo lipstick from Republic Cosmetics US (a makeup brand I’ve never heard of) that she got at CVS. How wonderful of her to think of …
Yesterday was Jeff’s birthday. I had to wrap his final gift, pick up the cake, and get ready for our big steak dinner at Fleming’s in Boston. We don’t eat meat very often, but that’s what Jeff likes on his birthday. We both had perfectly grilled, super delicious ribeyes. Yum. We were so stuffed that …
I received a gorgeous bottle of Smith & Cult Nail Polish in my last Ipsy Plus box. It’s a nude peachy-pink called Forever Fades Fast. I haven’t tried it yet, but I can tell it’s a perfect shade for me. Also I love the look of the bottle. It’s a squat, heavy glass bottle with …
Oh, August is just moving too fast! Please slow down. But I guess that’s not possible. So I’m trying to make the most of it. We’ve got a busy weekend ahead. A birthday party tonight for a friend at a restaurant we love. An end of season cocktail party at our Beach Club on Sunday. …
There are usually oodles of beauty product sales for the end of summer. Some have already started, and others start next weekend. This list is certainly not every sale, but it’s what I’ve got so far. I will update the list as I discover more sales. Please let me know if you are aware of …
There are a few facial skincare brands that I write about over and over, and belif is one of them. I discovered the brand at Sephora several years ago while I was looking for a firming eye gel, and I tried a set of their travel size skincare products and I’ve been hooked ever since. …
I’ve been buying artisan-made, natural and organic bath and body products from Daphne at Nature Island Botanicals for 14 years. Actually I thought it was even longer, but Daphne said she has been coming to the Waterfront Festival at Gloucester MA since 2005. I absolutely remember what initially drew me to her booth. It was …

Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy what’s left of the summer! Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog revisits the magnificence of Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil because it is so good that it warrants repurchase. The antioxidant-rich oil is formulated to combat dull skin, to fade hyperpigmentation, and to heal scars, sun damage, flaky skin and blemishes. In a …
As usual, I am delighted with my “Bare Yourself” Ipsy Plus box for August. I just think they really get me, and I am seldom disappointed with my monthly full size cosmetics subscription. The “Bare Yourself” theme does seem to fit with August. But the products don’t necessarily fit with the theme, though I can’t …
Earlier this summer, Ulta Beauty launched a collection of makeup, beauty tools and accessories in conjunction with the Frida Kahlo Corporation to celebrate her 112th birthday on July 6. The Frida Kahlo Corporation is the official licensing agent for commercial products bearing her name and likeness. In fact, Vans has come out with Kahlo sneakers. When …
Maybe 15 years ago, something really stood out one day about my former next door neighbor who was very glam. She always wore quite a lot of makeup for our conservative neighborhood, but on this particular day, something about her eyes stood out even more than usual. I asked her what was different. She told …
