This is literally a find with a capital F! A few weeks ago, I scored big time. I took advantage of a mistake on the Target website on a Sunday afternoon. They mistakenly advertised a sale on a limited edition set of Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes, the Color Crazed Collection of 10 brushes. The Color …
Back in April, I received the Emjoi Epi Slim+ Epilator model e18 to try out. Well, I’ve been using it for 5 months, and it’s about time I reviewed it. I know, I can hear you saying, Oh no, I’m not trying an epilator, lol! But hear me out. The Emjoi Epi Slim+ Epilator model e18 …
I bought a Beautyblender months ago, and I love it. I don’t use it everyday. I switch off with kabuki brushes and foundation brushes. I’m always looking to save money. I would rather spend on something I really want and look for ways to do other things more inexpensively. I’ve been cleaning my Beautyblender with …
I know I’ve said this before, but I measure the passage of time in ipsy bags, and I got my September bag a couple of weeks ago. This year is just flying by! I wish it would slow down. This month’s theme is Face Fashion, and all of my products were face makeup, skincare or beauty …
When I was in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago, I wandered into Walgreen’s and, of course, I ended up in the cosmetics aisle. There I saw a display of the new limited edition Disney Villains makeup bags from Soho Beauty! OMG, the cuteness! I was going to pick up one of them, but …

September was a good month for empties for me. I finished up a lot of stuff! As usual, lots of skincare products. Let’s see what’s worth repurchasing. I think I’ll break them down by categories. Body Care Skintimate Skin Therapy Moisturizing Shave Gel for Dry Skin: I used to love this shave gel, and …
I tagged along with one of my friends who’s VIB Rouge on the first day of the Sephora sale so I could see a few things in person that I was considering. Sephora used to let you shop if you went along with a friend at a higher level than you but no more. But …
We’re getting down to the wire with Christmas coming up less than a week away. Yikes! In case you need to pick up a couple of small, i.e. affordable, gifts or stocking stuffers, here are a few ideas.

To me, January is skincare month. One of the most important things you can do to take care of your skin is exfoliate. Not only is it healthier for your skin to remove dead skin cells, but exfoliation helps your skincare products work better by allowing them to get absorbed into the skin. Just …
I almost feel guilty posting this empties post because I have sooooo many empties from last month, December. I thought I did well in November, but not nearly as well as December. Since there are so many, I’ll try to be brief. Personal Care/Body Care Whish Shave Cream with Hair Inhibitor – Coconut: …
Contouring and strobing have been the rage for the past couple of years. While I keep it natural looking, having good brushes makes the process easier. I had been eyeing the gorgeous brushes from Beauty Junkees for several months, and I was delighted to receive their contour set to show you. First, I’d like to …
The humidity this summer has been intense. My thick coarse hair looks like a big frizzy bubble. What to do? During the rest of the year, I used John Freida Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight spray ($9.99 at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target etc.) along with the Conair flat iron that I bought …
Mid-December has arrived and so has my December “Celebration” ipsy bag! I was away when it arrived and the temperature outside that day in MA was 3 degrees! I was afraid the makeup was going to freeze and break. My friend Kim was kind enough to go out in the snowstorm and take it out …
