After declaring these Clinique lipsticks one of my Best of Beauty many years ago, and these Clinique blushes as part of my past favorites, it's clear that I am loving all things from the Clinique 'Pop' range. These Clinique Pop Lip Lacquers launched many years ago and were truly one of the lip colors I reached for the most at the time! Sometimes I am drawn to a color category of a lip range just by looking at them, and in this case I immediately went for the nude shades as the ones I wanted to try first. Though the

All the books I read - August 2023 1. The Only One Left A good mystery with a slightly touching ending. Kit is a home health aide and has been hired by a reclusive elderly woman named Lenora Hope. But Kit isn't sure she wants the job because there is a long standing rumor that Lenora was responsible for the murder her entire family. Yet Kit needs the money so she takes the job and hopes to just keep her distance from any of the past scandal. However once she arrives, Lenora is not the kind of terrifying woman she

I have been using Clarins products for nearly 20 years. So many of their products have been in my regular skincare routine and they always deliver consistent results. I first discovered them when I was working at a cosmetics counter in NYC and the Clarins counter was a few away from mine. They were constantly busy and people seemed to always be repurchasing their favorite products. The customers were so loyal and I had to know why. I tried a handful of products and loved them all! Over the years I have tried various products from Clarins and am always

Cardigan - J.Crew | Camisole - Express | Jeans - Paige | Shoes - Amazon | Bag - Melie Bianco | Sunglasses - Amazon Cardigan jackets and tweed/boucle jackets were a huge trend last fall and are still going to be on trend for this fall/winter.

I'm not a big primer fan but I heard so many great things about the Rare Beauty Illuminating Primer so I had to give it a go. So many celebrities are launching skincare and makeup brands and while some are meh, Selena Gomez's brand Rare Beauty is an absolute gem! She has really hit it out of the park with formulations and branding and this primer made me fall in love with primers again. Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez has only been around for 4 years but has already become a favorite among makeup artists, beauty influencers and beauty lovers.

One of the questions I get asked the most when it comes to my makeup tutorials is "what makeup brushes do you use?". I have been working in the beauty business in some form for nearly 25 years! So I have amassed quite a few makeup brushes and use a variety of ones, but I always go back to these brushes from BK Beauty. I did a campaign with them last year and got to try them for the first time and was hooked! The quality is so good, there is a brush for everything I need and they perform

I'm not going to call this post "the best books I ever read" because I feel like that is always changing, BUT there are books that I wish I could read again for the first time. They moved me so much and I think about them all regularly. 10 Books I Wish I could Read Again for the First Time 1.

Leni and her parents move to Alaska for a fresh start,

Alpyn Beauty Review I've been testing out a bunch of new products from Alpyn Beauty so I thought I would do a dedicated blog post to the line with my reviews of everything I have tried. They also gave me an ongoing discount code (ALITTLEBITETC15) that gets you 15% off the entire site. The line blends wild plant ingredients with clinical actives to create effective yet nourishing products. After spending nearly 20 years in the cosmetics industry, the owner moved from NYC to Jackson Hole and noticed that the products she was used to using did not hold up to
