Notes from My Dressing Table

If you are planning a winter vacation or weekend getaway or just need a great little bag of skin care treats to keep in your backpack, shower kit or tote to help keep your skin beautiful on the go I have just the thing for you.  I recently received the  Derma-E Perfect Travel Kit  in the mail and it is  just too cute for words. There is a makeup bag that is big enough to hold your to go skin care necessities as well as some makeup and other stuff. The skin care included in the  Derma-E Perfect Travel Kit  are snack sized Purifying Daily Detox Scrub, Vitamin C Concentrated Serum and Hydrating Night Cream. There is also a little travel mirror that is as cute as it is handy to have at the ready. At only $10.99, the  Derma-E Perfect Travel Kit  is affordable, cute and the best little travel companion. I kind of wanted to keep mine but, since I'm not planning to do any travelling in the near future, I decided to gift my set to someone as an extra special surprise litt

Yep. I did just one more gift guide. This one is my 12 Last Minute Beauty Gift and Stocking Stuffer Ideas from Amazon. I know... It's weird but I'm trying to be a better blogger. I'm probably way behind on how these are done, now. Honestly, I haven't been paying attention and that is my next goal, pay better attention to how the better bloggers are doing things and affect some changes. When putting this guide together, I tried to pick a mix of beauty goodies that I really enjoy and an item or two that I'd like to have, in the future, These are beauty products that are a little more budget friendly and all available with Prime shipping so that they should arrive in plenty of time, as long as you order by the cutoff date. I hope that you find this and  my other gift guide  helpful while you are wrapping up your holiday shopping.

There has been a fun challenge going around for a few years. The Seven Day Black and White Photo Challenge is simple; seven days, one black and white photograph of an everyday object each day. No people, no pets, no explanations. I have done this challenge, before and I usually post the photos on my personal Facebook but this time, I thought that it would be fun to do it on my  Instagram  and I thought that it would be fun to do a wrap up blog post about it, as well. If you would like to see my seven photos from this challenge, please read on. In the spirit of the original challenge, I am only captioning my photographs with the day order in which they were posted.

The holiday gift shopping season is in full swing and because Thanksgiving hit a little later, this year it's shorter than usual. A shorter shopping season means less time to get all of our gift shopping done so it's time to hustle up and get to it! Today, I'm sharing my Top Ten Beauty Storage Ideas from Amazon . These are skin care, makeup, nail polish and brush storage items in price points from super affordable to a... little bit spendy that I feel would make perfect holiday gifts for any beauty enthusiast on your list or a little something special with which you can treat yourself. All of these items are Amazon Prime eligible so if you have prime, they will ship for free and ship fast, so your gifts should arrive for your holiday giving, provided that you order before the final cutoff date. If you're looking for great beauty storage gift ideas, read on.

The November Boxycharm Box brought a new program and a box packed with more full sized products, better value and yes, a slightly higher price. The prior price point of $21.00 a month has been increased to $25.00 a month. After you see what arrived in my November box, you might agree that this box is even more worth it.
