While picking up my vitamin D prescription at CVS, I found an orphan limited edition display in the candy aisle from Revlon. I forgot that I was dying to try one of the new Ultra HD lip gel sticks because I was entranced by the new Revlon ColorStay Creme Eye Shadows. You know I’m a …
When I was in Atlanta on business a few weeks ago, I forgot my sleeping pills. Major bummer. I ended up with a semi-sleepless night the first night I arrived because I didn’t realize I forgot them till too late to do anything about it. The next day, my friend, Kim, was kind enough to …
A few weeks ago, there was a huge free-standing display in my little local CVS. It took up a lot of real estate in the small store so it really got my attention. The display even included testers, a novelty in the drugstore but a must for finding a good match in foundation. Enter CoverGirl …

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to write about the Maybelline Color Tattoo line of cream eyeshadows. As you may know, I’m a big fan of cream shadows. I know that not everyone is. I’ve got dry eyelids, so I have no problem with cream shadows sliding around on my …
Unlike many American girls, I didn’t grow up wearing Wet ‘n Wild. For me, it was Maybelline. And though I have worked as a focus group moderator for other affordable brands, I never got a call from Wet ‘n Wild. So I was never drawn to the brand. But this week, a couple of mega-bargains …
Jewel tones are in for Fall 2014. I remember jewel tones in the 1980s, but today’s jewel tones capture more of the shimmering qualities of the gems themselves. So much more beautiful. Milani has jumped on the bandwagon and is introducing the limited edition Bedazzled collection of gel eyeliners, nail lacquers and lipsticks with gemstone …
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 …
Today, I’ve got the first installment of reviews for Jordana’s new Spring 2015 makeup collection that I recently received. If you are new to Jordana, it is the second brand in Milani Cosmetics stable of fabulous drugstore brands. Jordana is sold at Walgreens, K Mart, Duane Reade, and Save Mart Supermarkets. Unfortunately, it’s not always at the …
I’m always on the lookout for long wearing lipsticks for those times when it’s inconvenient to reapply my lipstick. And I’m always listening for everyone’s recommendations. Over the past several months, I’ve picked up three affordable long wearing lipsticks from the drugstore. A couple of them were mentioned in a Facebook group for makeup artists …
I’m loving all the lip products I recently received from Jordana for Spring 2015. It’s an embarrassment of riches! Today, I’d like to show you the new additions to the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain and the Easyliner for Liips product lines. Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain Jordana has added …
I’m really taken by all the new products and shades being introduced by Jordana for Spring 2015. The Modern Mattes (reviewed here) are definitely my favorite matte lipstick, and I also seem to be reaching for them more than any other lippie of any kind, matte or not. And the Easyliner lip pencils go on …
I had some CVS Extrabucks, and CVS had a couple of great 30% off coupons since the beginning of March. So I took advantage of the situation and purchased a couple of items I needed and a couple I wanted to try. Maybelline has really been rockin’ it IMHO. It was the first brand of makeup I ever used …
I like CVS because the stores are so darn convenient. There’s one on almost every corner, lol. But their makeup prices are definitely higher than Walmart and even Target. To make up for it, they have ExtraBucks and Beauty Club rewards. I just shared my CVS Maybelline haul from a little over a week ago. …
I’m a matte shadow lover. I own more matte palettes than anyone I know. But I also love cream shadows. So when Milani sent me all four of their Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes several weeks ago, I knew I had to move out of my matte shadow comfort zone. Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine are …
