Hope you had a delicious, peaceful and fun Thanksgiving! I definitely did. In fact, I think this was my family’s best T-day celebration in years. Can’t believe that Thanksgiving is now behind us, and now we’re onto the Christmas (and Hanukkah) season and year’s end. Where did 2019 go? Since you’re probably well into your …
Everyone is so busy on Thanksgiving day (and probably the day before too, but anyway), so I want to wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving now. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday IMHO: no gifts and lots of food! This year, I am going to my cousin’s house about 30 miles away. I was …
There are about a million sales for Black Friday and Black Friday Week. Basically, every cosmetic brand is having a sale, so if you’ve been waiting to buy something makeup or skincare oriented for yourself or for a gift, now is a good time to do it. Because this is not a complete list of …
I had been saving my Sephora points for quite a while. With the exception of the purse size Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Body Cream that I wrote about last week (here), there haven’t been any beauty products among the choices that I really wanted. I accumulated about 1700 points. About a month ago, I …
Hope your weekend isn’t too hectic in the run up to Thanksgiving. Take a positive timeout for a little me-time if you can. Enjoy! Prime Beauty is giving Bath Bevy’s November bath and body sub box 5 stars. The theme is Out of This World with bright shades of blue, purple and pink and scents …
This month’s Ipsy Plus box was a mixed bag for me. The November 2019 theme is Wild Side, so it makes sense that the makeup bag is a leopard print that’s so on trend this fall. I adore the makeup bag with the faux suede tassel. It goes so well with my purse. And I’m …
Last week, I went to Sephora to return something that I bought during the VIB sale the week before. I had bought a full size bottle of Ouai Leave-in Conditioner, and I realized I didn’t need it. It’s a good product, but I have other heat protectants that work just as well. I was happy …
So many products are multitaskers these days, and I think that’s a wonderful thing. Gimme all the makeup with skincare benefits or skincare with makeup benefits! Recently, I got to try new Face Glow Tinted Primer/Moisturizer/Illuminator from indie, natural, clean beauty face and body skincare brand, Graydon Skincare. About Graydon Let me give you a …

One surprising side effect of having cataract surgery in my right eye is that when I first looked in the mirror, I saw what I really look like. Kind of a shock, to be honest. The white gauzy scrim that I had been looking through for quite a while made me think my skin was …
Have a wonderful weekend! And check out this week’s post from the members of the Beauty Spotlight Team 🙂 Beauty Info Zone is thrilled with IT Cosmetic’s holiday sets. There are several great ones at Sephora and Ulta that you shouldn’t miss out on. For example the Alex and Ani brush and bracelet collection and …
The beauty blogger, Jen from My Beauty Bunny, posted a photo of herself wearing a fabulous black necklace. I had never seen anything like it. It had flourishes and curlicues, and it was fabulous in a baroque, Steampunk way. I asked her where she got it, but she said her husband gave it to her …
I stopped into Sephora to buy something during the VIB sale at the end of last week so that I would qualify for VIB status in 2020. I only had to spend $8 to re-qualify, so I didn’t want to buy online and pay as much for the shipping as for my purchase. I planned …
Hope you had a good weekend and a Veteran’s Day 2019 that included thanking and/or appreciating the men and women who serve and have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. This week’s edition of Fashion Flash is hosted by Cindy from Prime Beauty Blog. I noticed that there is lots of beauty content in the …
