Ulta's Prep Protect and Glow kit has products I have not tried before so this is an economical way to test items with sun protection.

I did not care for the lip balm - it has a 'taste' (the box states it's a coconut/lime flavor) - but 30 SPF.  I will have to be desperate to use this!
The St Tropez Gradual Tan in shower is an interesting concept.  While still in the shower, you slather this cream on and wait for 3 mins then rinse off - the color should develop by the next day.  So far the color has been very faint.

Face Tan by Tan Towel is easy to use and gives a nice color - there are 15 towelettes - this I would buy again.
In conjunction with this the NKD Skin gradual glow tan moisturizer will keep the color going and keep the skin soft.
The Coola make up setting spray is so tiny there will only be a couple of uses but could be useful on vacation.
I like the Neutrogena Beach Defense with 70 SPF sunscreen.
Hempz Yuzu & Starfruit Daily Herbal Body Moisturizer is new to me and has a nice scent.
All things being equal I will probably buy this kit again.

                         PANTONE'S FALL COLORS FOR 2017

Color Palette for New York
“Bookended by a dynamic Grenadine red and a tawny Autumn Maple, the color palette for Fall 2017 leans more to warmth, “ says Eiseman. “While comforting, enveloping colors and ease are crucial to the seasonal feeling, standout shades include a pale pink Ballet Slipper, a refreshing Golden Lime, and a bright Marina blue. These hues add a striking touch when paired with the classic autumnal shades of Navy Peony, Neutral Gray, Butterrum and Tawny Port.

These are ok - I do like the pink Ballet Slipper which would work well with the Neutral Gray which I wear a lot of.  These are very classic colors so we should get a lot of wear from these for years to come.  What color speaks to you?

What did you get at the Nordstrom sale?  I got my beloved perfume Flowerbomb!

I am low on the perfume and hair mist!

 

 The only way to start the morning ~ mocha cafe and cinnamon doughnut!

I have added another Maybelline The City mini palette in Roof Top Bronzes:

 I like these colors and they can be used as highlighters as well as eye shadow.

I see the pumpkin spice fragrances are coming out and I know people enjoy these seasonal products.
I am a floral person so I have been stocking up on the shower gels for the remaining year since they have been on sale!

It's called a 3-in-1 'smoothie' - shower gel, bubble bath & shampoo.  I would not use this on my hair but it is a nice scent that will not over power perfume.  These are perfect for travel.

Since I am a mascara collector, I have found that the true bristle brushes give better coverage with mascara than the plastic brush.  I only use waterproof and I want every lash to be coated.

The real brushes just give more coverage and get closer to the lash line - so I only need 1 coat. Time saved!

I have been pitiful with migraines lately - weather is one of my triggers - and someone that loves me bought this for me!  Really - it is a head pain cure!!

I put a quarter on the package for reference!  Oh, this will easily be gone in a couple of days!


If you have left over mashed potatoes you are on the way to potato salad in a few minutes!
Simply add mayonnaise, mustard, onion (can use instant) and pickle relish to the already made up potatoes - stir together and refrigerate - so easy and no heating the kitchen back up!

Can you believe half the year is gone???!!!!!!!!!!

Let's review what we loved so far:
The Hoola Bronzer in Lite is a good prod:

It's a nice color for fair skin.

I like the Becca highlighters - not too sparkly:

Anything from Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess collection:

No7 anti-aging products - for the face & hands:

I was not crazy about the color of the year - Green - so I am looking forward to the new color this fall.

I love trying new mascaras so Lash Stash was perfect for me!

Yes, these are just a few of the hair products I have in case of emergency:

I never seem to use the same thing every day - I like to surprise my hair!!

So what did you discover this year that you loved?

I could not believe the lovely rainbow!

I cannot believe half the year is gone!!  So much to do - and I'm not doing it!

I enjoy the Christmas in July sales and pick up some things for the tree:
I continue to decorate the tree with pink & chic & shabby decorations:

If you like Kenra hair products here are some of my favorites that I keep on hand:

Texture Wax, Thickening Spray, Blow Dry Mist and Hot Spray are all good products. They are frequently on sale and the line is always expanding to include new items.
Do you have a favorite?

Laura Geller had an anniversary recently and had good deals on some of the iconic products. This combination was a good one - the powder foundation & bronzer together:

Foundation in Fair

 Bronzer in Medium - I love this combination - the bronzer could also be used as eye shadow!
I keep these disposable applicators on hand for this reason:

The grands having a good time -  I pixilated the photo for privacy.

He has my dimple in the exact same place!  This precious thing is getting all my money!

Teriyaki chicken legs & thighs are great in the crock pot.  Any bottles of sauce that you like will be fine to use and you can add additional flavorings like worchestite sauce, some garlic & onions and soy sauce - cover for 6 hours and you have an easy meal - the grandchildren like this:

Crock pot liners are sooooo worth whatever they cost!  I use them every time!  I make my stuffing at Thanksgiving in a liner and just wrap it up and send it home with the kids!  The only way to clean up after a long day!
