Do you ever get that dreaded feeling in the pit of your stomach when you heart your favorite makeup, beauty, or fragrance might be discontinued? It’s a horrible feeling when a beloved beauty product disappears for good.

Le sigh!

I had this feeling recently when L’Oreal and Em Cosmetics parted ways. I love, I LOVE the Great Cover Up Concealer and suddenly the site was down and I couldn’t buy anything and I was running around in panic. I had just ordered several tubes during their Cyber Monday sale but what happens when that runs out!? The thought was terrifying….!

Thankfully the site is back but I’ve learned my lesson. Anytime there is a sale I buy a tube or two and I stuff them away! Just in case, you never know.

Do you have any makeup and beauty products that you stockpile?

Do share what they are!

Put the new Ralph Lauren Ralph Love Eau de Toilette on your do not buy list. Ralph Love is a new, limited edition fragrance from the Ralph Collection of fragrances that’s inspired by a sun soaked day at the beach with your crush.

Mmm hmmm….

Apparently this contains a sweet pink cotton candy note and for me that was in fact what made a huge difference in the fragrance compared to the original Ralph. I should say I don’t like cotton candy or Pink Sugar-like fragrances however, combining the fruity sweet floral notes of Ralph with Pink Cotton Candy did intrigue me. I should know that curiosity killed the cat.

But I digress because maybe I should start this review by telling you what a great fan of the original Ralph I am and how it was probably one of my first real “big girl” fragrances. I feel like Ralph is so timeless as it traveled with me from high school to college and well into adulthood. I just love it. It’s been a while since I’ve worn it but I wake up some days and I think, “Hmm today is a good day to wear Ralph!” and I do exactly that. It’s such a fresh fruity little floral that has a little zing of freshness in the background that makes it smell like nothing else I own.

But Ralph Love?

I’m not understanding this!

Drugstore eyeliners have come a very long way in the last five years or so. I swear much of my drugstore eyeliner life has been spent in painful agony during application because the formula is so damn dry that it drags and skips across my lash line like a dull razor.

Not cool.

But I’ve seen so many improvements in drugstore eyeliners that I don’t feel the need to look to high end brands for my eyeliner fix because some of the creamiest eyeliners you can find are right at the drugstore.

Here’s some of my favorite picks!
