PRIME DAY DEAL & I ONE-CLICKED IT!! OLAY SERUM 

"Benefits for Face - Healthy Glow, Brightening, Hydrating, Smoothing, Firming, Evens Tone"

OH YOU GUYS!!! I'm a DIE HARD Olay fan (I've been using “Olay Total Effects” for a decade at least - on recommendation of one of my favorite skin care books, and they said that my “Olay Total Effects” cream was one that was tested and was true to the vitamins they said was inside!!) and I truly believe my skin is defying my age, and now... I wanna try THIS!! Kind of pricey for my usual Olay products but holy moly it's on Prime Day sale and those reviews HAVE ME.

PRIME DAY SALE ---> URBAN DECAY & I LOVE THIS PALETTE!!!

"...Multi-Use Powder for Eye, Contour, or Brows, Ultra-Blendable Cool-Tone Neutrals, Long-lasting Wear,.."

I'm more into mattes so this was my favorite find a few years ago and I still use it regularly. The colors I use the most are the first two to the left, along with the last two on the right. They are all gorgeous though and I'll use the entire pallet until it's gone.

LIVE!! HELENA HUNTING'S LATEST!! THE BEST MAN ONCE GHOSTED HER...

"...The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him. 

Nate Stiles is the definition of serious. Furrowed brow? Check. Rain cloud personality? Double check.

I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.

I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists. I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles..."

LIVE!! WILLOW ASTER'S LATEST! FAKE MARRIAGE WITH A SPORTS STAR ALERT!

"...A small town, marriage of convenience, single dad, sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Aster

Penn Hudson. Sexy. Intense. Gorgeous. The star running back of the Colorado Mustangs. Well-known playboy and consummate bachelor. We met in the Bahamas.

I knew exactly who he was. He had no idea who I was. Yet for a few blissful hours, it didn’t matter. We had an unbelievable connection… Something special that held so much promise. Then I unexpectedly had to leave and never had a chance to say goodbye.

Fast-forward to today, when I am about to see Penn again, and he’s going to find out exactly who he was kissing in the Bahamas..."

LIVE!! M/M HOCKEY STAR ROMANCE!

"...Sometimes, the best defense is a passionate offense.

The ref stops the puck in the middle of a playoff game, and I look up from the ice ... to see my boyfriend making out with another guy on the kiss cam. My humiliation goes viral, and suddenly, my entire life—from my back pass to my bisexuality—is tabloid fodder.

To make matters worse, the jerk making out with my guy turns out to be the live-in boyfriend of Lena Sinclair, the brand new team dentist for the Pittsburgh Fury. When Doc finds herself homeless after confronting her ex, I offer her my guest room while we both lick our wounds.

Revenge sounds sweet to both of us, so we craft the perfect plan: a "summer fling" that'll show our exes exactly what they've lost..."

LIVE!! MAFIA ROMANCE & THE WRONG BRIDE...

"...A STANDALONE Irish Mafia BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND and FORCED MARRIAGE Romance by Amazon Top 50 Bestselling Author Deborah Garland.

She’s the wrong bride but he’ll make her the perfect wife. She was my secret obsession. My best friend’s younger sister. But with our families at each other’s throats, I turned my back on the only woman I ever cared about. And I regretted the loss of her fiery spirit every day of my life. I learned to live with the pain and emptiness, vowing never to fall in love or marry another.

But Lennox didn’t disappear. She was right there. Gorgeous. Successful. Ice cold. So close. But out of my reach. Years later our world is very different. With so many enemies, Irish blood must stay pure. Putting chains on my wrists, to marry my worst enemy’s daughter.

But not Lennox. Her sister.

Now Lennox hates me all over again. But underneath I see profound sadness. The hidden desire for me she never let go of. And I’ll drag hell to my doorstep to marry the woman I want. Lennox was always mine. I will not let her slip through my fingers again..."

LIVE!! SHE'S HIS UBER EATS DRIVER...

"...Message from UberEats App (A$$h*le Customer):

You're now officially 15 minutes late, so I'm docking your tip for every second my dinner isn't in my hands. By the way, this was my first—and likely last—time using this app…

The moment I received that message, I should've opened the guy's $300 pasta and wine order and thrown it out the window. If I wasn't in desperate need of the money, trust me, I would've. By the time I deliver the order to a hotel suite in Manhattan, I'm soaked from the rain, exhausted, and shocked as hell at who the customer is.

Dominic Sutton. As in billionaire Dominic Sutton—and the selfish a$$hole who runs the other place I work. I really should've kept my mouth shut…"

LIVE!! MAFIA ROMANCE WITH THE SINGLE DANGEROUS DAD...

"...A dark single dad, forbidden, mafia romance from USA Today Bestselling author Jane Henry

Vadka Dragunov—Bratva executioner, cold-blooded strategist… and my dead sister’s husband. The man who built his empire in blood and protected it with silence. The man with a stare that holds me hostage—and a voice that cuts straight through me. I've avoided him, and the way he makes me feel, as I've wallowed in my own grief following my sister's death.

But now there's no escape. I’m living in his world. I've been targeted. The Irish want war. And the only safe place left is under his watch… or under him..."

LIVE!! HE HAS A CRUSH ON HER & OFFERS HER A PLACE TO STAY...

"...Owen Sinclair has harbored a not-so-secret crush on Sloane from pretty much the moment he met her. But as much as he tries to convince her that he’s worth a shot, he can’t seem to get her to give him a chance. 

When an eviction notice suddenly appears on Sloane’s front door, Owen comes to her rescue, offering her not only a place to stay, but an unexpected source of security..."

LIVE!! FANTASY ROMANCE!

"...Kayla never meant to kill her stepfather. Well... maybe she did. After years of his abuse, the knife in her hand felt like justice. But disposing of a body? That wasn’t something she’d planned for. Desperate, she turns to an old passion, half-believing the words scribbled in her diary will never work. But when one of the Seven Princes of Hell, Asmodeus, steps through the summoning circle, smirking and all too willing to help, Kayla realizes she’s in deeper than she ever imagined.

He cleans up her mess. No questions asked. No immediate price. But demons don’t work for free, and Asmodeus has plans of his own...'

LIVE!! HE ONCE BROKE HER HEART & NOW HE'S HER NEIGHBOR

"...Mason Porter: Avalon Falls' hottest single dad, my brother's best friend, and the only man who’s ever broken my heart. Oh, and now he's my neighbor. I came back to town without telling anyone—just me, a half-forgotten cabin I inherited, and the quiet hope that a few stolen weeks might be enough to outrun the pressure closing in from all sides. I didn’t expect to run into Mason and his son by the creek. I didn’t expect him to keep my secret. And I definitely didn’t expect the way it would feel to slip into his life like I’d always belonged there.

Now I’m living next door, falling into a rhythm that feels dangerously close to peace. I watch his son while he works, cook dinner more nights than not, and for the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. For a little while, it works. Until it doesn’t. Because this town has secrets, and I’m not the only one running from something...."

LIVE!! SHE MATCHED WITH HER NEMESIS...

"...I matched with my nemesis. Then I married him. On accident. Reuben Ellis is the grumpy, insufferable, infuriatingly hot professor who once called my bestselling romance novel a “cotton candy fever dream.” Now we’re legally hitched — thank you, tequila and one smug best friend — and stuck playing nice to avoid total public embarrassment.

He’s in my apartment. In my space. In my business. Worse? He’s charming my friends. Cooking in my kitchen. And walking around half-dressed like he owns the place. I hate him. He hates me..."

LIVE! HOCKEY STAR ROMANCE!!

A scorching hot, hockey, forbidden, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann…

I’m not the calm before the storm. I am the storm. And only she can tame my wild ways. Hockey is my religion. My body is my temple. My only goal in life is to win another Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Whales, so women are just a sexy distraction.

Until her. The fiery redhead I see across the bar while I’m at an away game..."

LIVE!! MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE!!

I never imagined I’d agree to an arranged marriage for over 5 million dollars. Not to mention that the man I’d be marrying is someone I’d already met once before.

Gage Kingston waltzes into the meeting with the lawyer unaffected—cocky, tattooed, and acting like he didn’t know who I was. But after we agree we’d be stupid to walk away from that kind of money, we embark on a six month timeline to riches despite the animosity between us.

Now I’m living with the man his aunt thought would be perfect for me while wondering if the woman was going insane before she died to think this was a good idea. Then the first letter came..."
