Not all eyeliners are created equal. Nothing beats a kajal eyeliner for staying power and long lasting color payoff.

This eyeliner does not budget at the ended of the day. I notice minimal fading.

I use an oil based cleanser to remove all traces of eyeliner.

I had sticker shock at first but I realize this formula is worth it.

Bronze Satin Kajal is my most worn color. It is a beautiful combination of brown and gold.

I never thought about the importance of protecting your devices from threats such as fire, floods, and data theft. I had purchased a bag for my cellphone and was impressed that calls couldn’t go through while your phone is in the bag.
I went ahead and purchased this 4 pack.
4 Pack Faraday Bags, Faraday Cage for Anti-Theft Anti-Tracking, Waterproof & Fireproof Faraday Bag for Laptops, Tablets, Phones, Car Keys.

These bags block signals you do not want at certain times. For example: forgetting your turn off your phone while at event.

This set has a high rating and is very affordable.

I am always trying new types of toothpaste. I especially look for fluoride-free. Not only did I find one without fluoride but a toothpaste that whitens and remineralize your enamel. It is also good for sensitive teeth.

I chose a new limited edition flavor, Cherry Blossom. It has a pleasant taste and leaves teeth feeling very clean.

After a week of using this toothpaste, I notice some whitening. I have been using a manual toothbrush but I just purchased a new rechargeable one. I cannot wait to see the results.

This toothpaste comes in an array of flavors. It is a nice change from the basic flavors. You can also choose multiple packs and tube sizes.

Let me know if you have tried this toothpaste and what did you think of the results

I just ordered Ginger — the newest addition to the Signature Lipstick Satin collection.

Ginger is described as a soft peach but from the swatches I have seen, it looks more dense of a shade.

I love the Signature Lipstick Satin formula. It feels comfortable like a balm. I do have to touch up as often with this formula.

In this order, I also ordered the shade, Cabo. This shade is described as an orange-red.

I cannot wait to receive my order. These two shades will flatter my new (coming soon) hair color.

One of the best decisions I made for my cats was getting them a water fountain.

My cat, Penelope loves to stick her paws and toys in the water bowl . This left the water filthy. My male cat, Simon would not drink the water and I didn’t blame him.

We were gifted a beautiful ceramic water fountain. The cats loved it. The water stayed clean. We used it until it started showing its age.

The last fountain was plastic. I wasn’t happy with it. It was hard to keep clean. Mold would form in warm months and the pump didn’t last.

- [ ] My newest fountain is the best one. It is big enough for both cats to use a once.
- [ ] The pump keeps the water constantly running.
- [ ] The window has a blue light and you are able to see how much water is left.
- [ ] The lid secure so nothing gets inside.
- [ ] The pump is silent.
- [ ] I love that the refills filters and sponge are affordable.
- [ ] The set up was super easy.
- [ ] The best part is that is the cleaning is easy. Stainless steel is the best option.
- [ ] I got this water fountain at a great price.
- [ ] I shopped around and found this water fountain has a very high rating.
Let know your experience with pet water fountains.

I recently purchased an oil diffuser and so far I am enjoying it. It came with three hotel oils that all smell divine.

After I finished the initial set of oils, I started shopping around for single note oils. I came across geranium oil. I really love the sent of geranium so I purchased a bottle.

I found a big bottle, 3.38 Fluid Ounces of 100% pure oil and it came with a travel sized empty bottle. Rated 4 out 4.

This essential oil contains no additives, unfiltered and undiluted with no fillers. 100% geranium oil.

Essential oils have many uses. It can be used for diffusion, aromatherapy, candle making, soap making, custom fragrances and a lot more.

I decided to try adding a couple of drops to my wash. As soon as the washer started, the room filled up with the sent of geranium. It smelt heavenly.

When I took the clothes from the dryer, I could smell the geranium oil slightly. The scent is so fresh and clean. I loved putting on my nightgown last night.

Next I am going to try the oil in my hair conditioner.

I cannot wait to try the other oils.

One of the best ideas ever is the creation of the velvet skinny hanger. I cannot believe how much space I save. The hangers give you a uniformed and organized look.

Not all velvet skinny hangers are created equal. I have had many hangers fall apart on me.

The hangers I own are perfect for blouses, knits, jackets, light-weight sweaters. I love that non-slip design keeps my silky robes stay put.

The best and very affordable ones are on a clearance sale. They come in a count of 30, 50, and 100. Priced from $9.98-32.99. Three colors available: pink, cream or black.

I really love that super clean and smooth feeling when I step out of the shower. I recently switched from a body scrub to an exfoliating body buffer.

I always switch out my sponge every month. It can get expensive but I found an affordable option. These body buffers come in a four pack.
You just rinse out and air after each use.

I find this body buffer does a good job of exfoliating without irritating my sensitive skin. My body lotion penetrates deeper and leaves my skin softer longer.
I also like the handle.

The No Makeup, makeup look is my go-to look. I love a barley there blush, a tinted moisturizer, and a sheer glossy lip. For the eyes, I love a bare lids and a good lengthening mascara.

As I have aged, my eyelids have some discoloration. I cannot get away bare lids. So I have been looking for the perfect solution and I think I have found it.

No Makeup Eyeshadow is a liquid formula that helps even out your skin tone and leaves a satin finish. It gives you a brighter appearance and the has skincare benefits that over time leaves a smoother lids.

You can use this product as a base or wear alone. It applies semi-sheer. I tried applying one layer, then another. I find one application was enough. I bought shade one. It gave me the brightening I was looking for without it looking very fake

Overall I am happy with the results. I would repurchase again.

There is a 30% off sale going on right now through the 10th of March.

In 2023 I started to noice my fine lines between eyes and lips were getting deeper. In the past I had used a Retin-A cream. I found it to be too harsh. The peeling and irritation wasn’t worth it.

A dermatologist recommended RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream as an alternative. This cream is formulated with Retinaldehyde that is less harsh than Retin-A cream.

I have used the cream for a month now. In just a month my “11” (between the eyes) have softened. The fine lines around my lips have shown improvement.

I had a little peeling between my eyes but nothing that lasted more than a couple days.

You must use a sunscreen everyday because your skin will be sensitive to sun exposure.

This product is to be used at night. Do not overuse exfoliating while using this cream.

I am not big on wearing foundation but when I want a polished look, I will wear a liquid. The trouble I have is that my foundation shade I have is too dark. It was suggested to me to lighten up my foundation with a little bit of white.

I could also use it as a soft highlighter or tone down a too bright blush

Will post the results in the future.

I normally do not spend a lot of money on mascara. As long as a mascara lengths and most important, doesn’t irritate my eyes, I am happy.

I started to noice such beautiful lashes on people I follow. The mascara used is Make Beauty LASH PROTOTYPE
VOLUMIZING MASCARA.

I hesitated to purchase this mascara because it only comes in black. I prefer a brown mascara.

I decided to go for it and I am so glad I did.

I was impressed right off the bat with the tube. It is a weighty tube. Feels good in my hand. The gold color screams LUXURY.

The formula is wet so you are going to need to apply it slowly. One coat gives you a natural look. You get definition, length, and volume. It does a good job holding a curl.

When you apply two coats, this is when the magic happens . Just WOW!

The first I used LASH PROTOTYPE MASCARA, I wasn’t feeling well. I ended up going to sleep. When I woke up, I had no smudging just a tiny bit of flaking.

The second time I wore the mascara, I wore it all day. My lashes held a curl. No flaking.

Taking the mascara off is a breeze. I used a gentle oil based cleanser. I didn’t lose any lashes. No irritation.

I didn’t find the black shade too harsh. You end up with look-at-me lashes.

This mascara is formulated with
a vegan, beeswax alternative and tilia tomentosa bud extract that leaves your lashes softer.

This mascara is worth every penny!

My skin has been very blotchy for the past couple of days. I think the cooler weather and turning on heater has brought this on.

This chlorophyll discoloration serum sounds just what I need.

The serum contains: 1% alpha arbutin with chlorophyll, licorice root, and panthenol to reduce the look of discoloration.

In 28 days you’re supposed to see a noticeable difference. I was impressed with the before and after photos.

I am going to purchase this serum now while it is $16 on sale.

I could say instagram made me buy it. The ads always popped up on my feed and stories.

I love long eyelashes. When I notice someone with long lashes, I want to know what mascara they are wearing.

So I bought the mascara. It is a tubing mascara. It comes in brown too.

The results were amazing. Long lashes on the first coat.

This got me curious about of products in their line. The Volumizing mascara looks promising. Some people like to use both a once for dramatic look.

The other products for the lips and cheeks look promising so I will be purchasing more from this line.

*Best discoveries of 2023 in skincare.

A good screen is hard to find. One are too greasy, clog my pores, and makeup looks patchy.

This sunscreen is slightly tinted and is invisible when you blend it in. It leaves you with a slight sheen. It is moisturizing and not greasy. It also has a SPF 46.

A good mask has been impossible for me to find. I wanted a mask that didn’t irritate my skin but provided some exfoliation. This pumpkin enzyme mask gets the job done and leaves me with soft skin plus glow.

Don’t wait on picking these two must-haves while on sale with prime shipping.

I am loving the results I am having with castor oil while using it on my eyebrows and my eyelashes. I thought why not try it on my hairline.

I started seeing little baby hairs sprout up in a short amount of time. The only problem was my hair was left greasy looking if I used the oil on my crown.

I did some looking and found that there is castor oil shampoo bar. I have never used a bar shampoo and now intrigued.

This shampoo bar has the highest ratings and the before and after photos are most impressive.

I am going to take advantage of the sale and start to immediately use it. I’ll report back my results.
