May 2018 Empties

It was my birthday month and people are nice. I received some lovely bath/beauty gifts. I also graduated with Masters of Science! So, May 2018 was a very busy month for me and also a very happy one.

I bought a full-size perfume! I bought Diptyque L’Ombre Dans L’Eau. I also bought a leave-in conditioner from Suave, which actually works and I can’t get over how cheap it is, and a L’Oreal conditioner.

May is my  birthday month and I completed my first year of grad school in May.  I give myself a “free pass” to buy whatever. Now I’m trying to remember what I bought. Oh, yeah. I bought Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Femme Body Oil. I’m really happy with this purchase. It smells a lot like the perfume. I bought a mask from Too Cool for School just for its name: Fresh Gore. I bought Juvia’s Place Blush Palette II. I wore it every… Continue reading | 14 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 11.9.15

Question of the Week: When you want to truly pamper yourself (as we all should do from time to time!), which products do you reach for?

EauMG’s Answer: This is a fun question and one that I like thinking about because well, I’m indulgent. So, here’s what I use. Wearing a favorite fragrance is the quickest and easiest way to pamper. I also like burning “fancy candles” while wearing a sheet mask and reading something I want to read
