EauPEN Thread – Most Worn Winter Edition

March 16, 2018

Colleen Moore
Which perfume/perfumes have you worn the most this past winter?
As spring is officially approaching (next week!), I’m ready to move on to new things AKA new perfumes. In celebration of this, it’s Purple Flowers Week on EauMG next week.¹ I’m also changing up my perfume rotation this weekend. This has been such a cold, harsh winter. I’m so over it. This has felt like the winter that will never end.

As I put things away, (since I apparently can not put away my snow boots yet), I’ve been… Continue reading | 4 Comments

Stuff to Buy Yourself for Valentine’s 2018

February 7, 2018

Jeanette MacDonald

Each year I put together a Valentine’s Gift Guide. I usually add a disclaimer to them something like “I am throwing this together as an excuse to talk about rose-scented things and things to get me out of a winter funk”. My disclaimer is the truth. So, instead of saying this is some sort of gift guide, I’m going to be frank. This is a list of 14 ridiculous things that I wish I could buy myself in the middle of February. It has nothing to do with Valentine’s… Continue reading | 8 Comments

The Lipstick League – Week of 12.4.17

Question of the Week: What product is most helping your skin deal with the changing weather?

EauMG’s Answer: I’m going to sound like such a jerk for even bringing up something this expensive, but Valmont Prime Regenera II is like this thick, luscious balm that has saved my skin from a cold, dry NYC “why do I live here?” weather.

EauMG’s Valentine’s Day 2017 Gift Guide

January 31, 2017

Wynne Gibson Valentine's

 

I don’t think I know anyone that celebrates Valentine’s Day. Do you? I don’t mean to sound like a grump. It’s a weird holiday that I think only exists to sell stuff to regions that don’t really do Lunar New Year celebrations. Honestly, I only put together these gift guides because it gives me an excuse to talk about rose-scented things, champagne and other things that I like. I’m not here to diss things that give me joy. It’s winter. We need joy!
