As I predicted in my BSST post, I have been missing because of the snow. We got about 18 inches on top of the 3.5 feet we already had. So now we have about 5 feet of snow. It will surely be April or maybe even May until I see the grass again. Thrive Causemetics …
Back in October during my trip to London with Jeff, one of the things on my to do-list was to buy a lipstick from Lisa Eldridge, famed makeup artist to the stars as well as the new Creative Director at Lancome. I’m not sure how she pulls off the Lancome gig while heading her own …
I’ve been thinking that I should cancel my subscriptions to Sephora Play and Ipsy. I’ve subscribed for a few years, and I am drowning in travel size samples. I also would like to try BoxyCharm for a while. But every now and then, I come upon samples in my subbie bags that become products that …

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 …
