Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Not sure what to put on my nails tonight for New Year’s Eve. I know I’d like something at least a little festive. Here are a couple of contenders from my December Zoya minis haul. I just love these little guys. And they still seem to be available on the Zoya website for $5. …
Since I started Never Say Die Beauty, I have really tried a lot, and I mean a lot, of beauty products. Probably more just this year than in the entire rest of my life! 😳 😆 Because it’s the end of the year, I wanted to put together a list of the products that I …
I love serums and I love the skincare products I tried from InstaNatural. I recently reviewed InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum and Moroccan Rosewater here. So I jumped at the chance via Brandbacker, a brand/blogger association, to try a couple of the eye products in the Youth Express collection from InstaNatural. Who couldn’t use a …
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Boxing Day, and are enjoying time off from the regular routine! I know it’s a busy weekend, but if you have a chance, take a peek at the weekly roundup from Beauty Blog Coalition. I took my New Year’s Eve look for a test run several days ago, and put …
Almost every year there are lots of holiday parties in my neighborhood: Progressive cocktail party, ladies’ Yankee Swap party, New Year’s Eve party, New Year’s Day open house. I look forward to them all. It’s a great chance to catch up with neighbors that I don’t get to see very often now that winter is …
Well, the day that so many have been waiting for is almost here! Merry Christmas to those of you celebrate the big day! And Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Solstice, Happy Festivus to everyone else. I know nobody is reading beauty blogs today, so this is a mini blogpost on a mini nail polish. I …
When it comes to perfume, I know what types of scents work with my body chemistry. Eau de toilette or cologne just doesn’t last on me at all. Well, maybe for 10-15 minutes. Eau de parfum lasts somewhat longer, especially if I pile it on. But oils last longest on me. So when I noticed a review of KIORI …
Hanukah started a few days ago, and last night was the fourth night. Instead of the mock turtleneck in black cherry that I got for Jeff from LL Bean for last night’s gift, I discovered a hideous dayglo orange fleece pullover in the bag. And when I called to have them to ask them to …
About a month or so ago, I received Teadora Rainforest At Dawn Exfoliating Lip Butter to try out. (Reviewed here.) I adored this citrus-scented lip balm exfoliator. It tastes and smells so delicious, I could eat it. As I mentioned in that review, Teadora’s products are: natural inspired by the rainforests in South America made with …
When I went to Sephora to use my holiday coupon, I thought I was going to redeem my 500 Sephora points for the 500 point gift. But my head was turned by the special “gift with purchase” mini-nail polish from Deborah Lippmann. 99 Luftballons was just sitting there all sparkly and red, and …
Time is moving on, and Hanukah is a few days away and Christmas is in less than two weeks. Oh my. If you are still thinking about gifts to get, here are a few more suggestions to go along with the early picks I wrote about a couple of weeks ago here. Just …
I just noticed from photos on Facebook that friends of my friends got married today: 12-13-14. How cool! They’ll never forget their anniversary 🙂 If you have time to take a break from frenzied holiday shopping and partying to read a few beauty blogpost, see what the Beauty Blog Coalition has been up to this …
Today has the auspicious date 12-13-14! Are you doing anything numerically oriented? If you’re out battling the crowds at the mall, good luck and happy shopping! Here are this week’s blogposts from Beauty Blogazons. I’m showing off my glam holiday look that I created with natural beauty, Gabriel Cosmetics’ holiday-oriented Zuzu Luxe face palette 🙂 …
Although I like to cook, I love “craft” cooking, meaning cooking that’s not for a meal. And at holiday time, my recreational cooking often becomes DIY gifts. One of the things I make all year round is jam. In the summer, I pick strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and peaches when they’re in season. I love going to …
Love it or hate it, Marsala is Pantone’s Color of 2015. I love it! This brownish-red was just about made with me in mind. I love it in makeup, in fashion, in home decor, in jewelry. You name it, I want it! I think Marsala will be a big color in beauty for winter and …
