Last month I had tried out the eye gel from brand new line Volition Beauty and absolutely fell in love with not only the product but also with the company’s philosophy. They call upon all their customers to become their next product innovators by encouraging wannabe beauty product designers like myself to submit their ideas for what they would like to see created. Thousands of people vote and the best ideas get created in their labs. Genius! Why try to guess what your customers want? Just ask them to create the products of their dreams! Each product comes with the story of their innovator adding a great personal touch of inspiration. My fascination with this company sent me on a buying frenzy at Sephora as I wanted to try all of their products. With lots of excitement, here are my reviews of the Volition Beauty products (and a few others): (click “Continue Reading” button below to see the beauty product reviews)
Beauty Reviews: October 2017

Beauty Obsessions: June 2017
Most of my summer 2017 beauty finds or fave essentials are skin-focused since nothing feels worse in that warm LA summer heat than a face caked with makeup.

Global Entry Application Process & Tips
Do you travel internationally at least 1x per year? If so, you may want to seriously consider applying for the Global Entry program. It includes all the perks of TSA Pre-check and for an extra $15 you can get expedited entry back into the country at major U.S. airports! The total $100 fee covers you for 5 years too! Several credit cards such as American Express Platinum will even cover the fee for you when you charge it to that card. I think I held off applying for so long because I was dreading having to go into LAX for the interview. Now that it’s done, I can say it was well worth it and I wish I would’ve done it sooner saving myself tons of time waiting in security lines and customs lines over the last few years. Here is how it works: … (click the “Continue Reading” button below)
