One of the benefits of maintaining my Ipsy subscription is the discounts on products that participate in Ipsy’s subbie bags. I got an email from Ipsy letting me know about a good deal from Hanalei, a cruelty-free brand of skincare and lip products from Hawaii. Last year I received a travel size tube of the …
Hydrating my lips is a year round thing for me. My dry lips feel much better during the summer than during the winter, not surprisingly, but I work at keeping them moisturized everyday. Everyone’s skin and lips are different, and you have to know what works for you. At night, I use medical grade lanolin, …
MyChelle just launched a new natural lip balm in the cutest little pot. The sheer lip balm inside is the prettiest shade of pink. Such an adorable lip product! But the real news is how it’s made: with natural ingredients. It’s made with shea butter, coconut, kalahari melon, and meadowfoam oils. When I first tried …
I had a bunch of CVS ExtraBucks that I needed to use, so I made the trip to CVS. I ended up accumulating about $32 worth of stuff, and in the end, it cost me $7 and change. Not bad. Not bad at all. That purchase included two tubes of Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and 10 …
For a late summer Friday where not that many people are reading blogposts, I think I’ll go back to my feature, Friday Find, where I post a short review of something I found in my stash. A couple of weeks ago, I found a deluxe sample of Hanalei Lip Treatment that I received from Ipsy …
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to say thank you to the readers of Fashion Flash, the group of over 40 bloggers who I teamed up with in 2016, as a way to share a variety of lifestyle-oriented posts with the readers of my blog that go beyond the mostly beauty focussed posts that I …
I lucked out makeup-wise this week. I got some free makeup that I didn’t expect. How nice is that?! NYX Ulta is changing their rewards program to a point system, similar to Sephora’s. You accrue points on purchases …
You’re probably sick of me complaining about my dry lips. Well, I have finally found a product that seems to make a real difference. Do you know it? Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm. It is part of a men’s skincare line called Jack Black Authentic and Original, but as far as I’m concerned, lip balm …
Although my yard still looks more or less like this: it is starting to melt, and in a month or so, hopefully it’ll be all gone. And I can start to think about gardening. Last year, I dug out the overgrown lavender plants that were woody and misshapen and replaced them with new ones. I’m …
My little local CVS is jam-packed with limited edition displays for the holidays. I can’t believe how much great stuff there is. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I noticed two new displays from Milani. The one that made me jump up and down is the new Milani Moisture Lock display. It was …
At the lovely Easter lunch we attended on Sunday, my cousin gave me a gift. Woohoo! Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint, a cute lip tint that’s part of Tarte’s High Performance Naturals line. It looks like a big fat crayon, one of the new-ish trends in makeup. As the color gets used up, you just dial …
