August Prime Purchases





Can you believe it's already August???  I mean, Christmas is less than 5 months away.  So, it's not too early for us to be thinking about gifts and perhaps my Prime list will assist you in your gift giving. 


TABLE  TOPICS  DINNER  PARTY  SET



Have you been introduced to Table Topics yet?  If not, you need to be.  This set is the Dinner Party set and is called a conversation starter but it's much more.  There are several different ones.  I have this one and the Family Set.  Each card asks a question for the person that draws it to answer.  It's a way to learn a lot about your family and friends.  I would say children from about 8 years old would enjoy participating.



FOUNDATION/POWDER  BRUSH


I first saw these brushes on a video and decided that I wanted to give them a try. They promote them mostly for foundation application but I use mine to apply my powder.  I love it!!! And, I love the way it applies my powder.  I find that using a brush to apply my foundation just causes the brush to absorb most of the foundation.  So, I will continue to use my fingers to apply my foundation and this brush to apply my powder.



FOLDABLE  LED  DESK  LIGHT



This is the dandiest little light folks and especially for traveling.  I just took it with me on our trip to Oklahoma last week and used it with my stand mirror when applying my makeup.  The travel mirror I had just didn't provide the light I needed, so I came up with this and it worked like a dream for me. You can likely think of a lot of other uses for it too.  It's so small and easy to fit into tiny places.



EYEBROW  POWDER  AND  BRUSHES





I have used brow powder and brow pencils over the years.  But, recently changed back from pencil to powder.  I think the powder gives a much more natural look and I love the powder and brushes shown above.


BAGGALLINI - THE ONLY BAG



You have heard me talk about Baggallini handbags many times.  This is their newest one.  I like a large handbag (some might call it a tote) and then in recent years I keep, what I call, a shopping size purse, in my vehicle and put my billfold, phone and keys in it and that's what I carry when shopping.  My neck and shoulders cannot tolerate a heavy handbag/tote anymore.  One of the biggest reasons that I love the Baggallini bags is their weight.  They are so lightweight.  All the weight comes from the items inside it. This is a silvery color, goes with everything and I love it.  It comes in other colors as well.



KATE  SPADE  SUNGLASSES



I have the tortoise color in these and decided I wanted the black. They are such a nice pair of sunglasses and they fit me perfectly.  They come with a great case to protect them.  I rarely use a case but usually hang them on my handbag, it's much quicker to grab them that way.



SQUARE  SERVING  TRAY



I wanted a new tray to keep near our refrigerator.  I use a tray to put glasses on when we have company.  I can fill them with ice and drink and then carry them to the table.  This one is 14 X 14 and will hold 9 of the size glasses I use.  It is made of acacia wood, so it matches the flooring throughout our house.  I'm going to have it engraved with our monogram.  It would also make a great gift. 



LED  FLOOR  LAMP


My Daddy needed a new floor lamp and this one "fit the bill."  It needed to give good light, be easy to turn on and off, and have a flexible neck.  It is perfect for him and it has a heavy base and stays in place well.  It is setting beside his recliner and he can easily reach it while sitting.  It is very attractive and affordable.  I highly recommend this lamp.  It is "easy peasy" to put together.


Okay, that's it for this month.  I hope something "peaked" your interest.

Have a great new week!!!

  1. I’m not sure I’ve heard of eye brow powder before reading your post here. I’m not a fan of the dark, heavily-defined brows that are so popular now. Using an eye brow powder sounds like a softer look, more natural. You’ve given me something to think about.

    Like you, I have to take into serious consideration the weight of any bag I’m slinging over my shoulder. When the bag is heavy when it’s empty, the weight only gets worse when the necessities are added.

  2. This makes me want to switch from brow pencil to powder. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks so much for linking up with Prime Purchases!

  4. I don't have Prime which is a good thing because it's just too easy to order from Amazon! How does the brow powder last? I have very sparse eyebrows due to my thyroid and have to draw them on. I've finally found a pencil I like, but it's expensive and doesn't last long.
