Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
A big display for MUA – Makeup Academy – Cosmetics appeared at one of the CVS stores near me about a month ago. I’ve been dying to buy something to try it out. I got $5 in Extrabucks from CVS, so I decided to spend it on MUA. So, what could I buy for $5? Lipsticks …
This is just a quickie to announce the winners of the Ritual Beauty Daily Perfecting Treatment Serums. Congratulations to: Robin W Cari D Woo hoo! I am so happy we had two winners because I adore this serum from Ritual Beauty, and I am so glad that two women get to experience it for free! …
Happy Labor Day to those in the U.S.! Our last big summer holiday 🙁 Hope you all enjoyed the summer wherever you are! I know that fall has not officially arrived yet, thank goodness, but I’m sorta kinda beginning to think fall shades. To that end, I went shopping in my vast Milani Color Statement …
I know, I know, you didn’t have a chance to even look at the beauty blogposts from Beauty Blogazons, and now I’m sending more from Beauty Blog Coalition! Actually, this is the smallest digest from BBC that I’ve ever seen: just 6 entries, including mine at the end. So here they are. Take a peak, …
Hey gals, Most likely, you are out and about doing all kinds of fun stuff this weekend. In the US, it’s Labor Day Weekend, the last unofficial weekend of the summer. And elsewhere, well, I guess it depends where you are. Endless summer toward the equator. End of winter in the southern hemisphere. But, I digress. …
Unlike many American girls, I didn’t grow up wearing Wet ‘n Wild. For me, it was Maybelline. And though I have worked as a focus group moderator for other affordable brands, I never got a call from Wet ‘n Wild. So I was never drawn to the brand. But this week, a couple of mega-bargains …
Recently, I received an innovative idea in skincare to try out: Exuviance Illumination Duo. Exuviance is a brand that has recently come onto my radar screen. However, the two doctors who started the brand discovered the skincare benefits of glycolic acid, and they invented the glycolic peel. Woo hoo! That got …
My ipsy bag was a little later than usual this month, which made me one of the last to get it. Grrrrr! It was so late that I mistakenly thought it was the September bag and I originally mislabeled the post and the photo below! But it eventually came, and with it was the bonus …
Hope you’re enjoying the weekend! What are you up to today? If you have a few extra minutes, take a look at the beauty blogposts from Beauty Blog Coalition. Definitely a shorter list this weekend as summer draws to a close. My entry, toward the bottom of the list, is a review of City Lips …
Boy, the weeks are just flying by! I’m hoping for good weather this last week before Labor Day Weekend. What’s on your agenda this weekend? It’s going to be on the cool side today so no beach for me. But tonight, our beach club is having its annual bonfire on the beach! First we have …
Since I received 37 bottles of new Milani Color Statement Nail Lacquer, I have no excuse not to have something on my nails. And it has given me a chance to play around with different looks. Recently, I decided to try out Mint Crush. Although it’s called “mint”, this shade is more of …
More than a year ago, my friend Nancy asked me what I thought about City Lips Lip Plumper. I told her I wasn’t familiar with it. I googled the product, and I read what I thought might be hype about how well it worked. There was video from a TV show extolling its virtues. I …
At the beginning of the summer, I received an email from the woman behind Ritual Beauty, a beauty brand that was new to me. I am always excited to get acquainted with women who take risks and start their own businesses. And I love to find out what inspired them to start their particular business. …
So how’s your weekend going so far? It’a a pretty day here in Massachusetts. Sunnyish and warm in the sun. Trying to decide if it’s a bona fide beach day. And tonight is the monthly Block Party in Gloucester in which Main Street is closed to traffic, the restaurants downtown have outdoor seating, musicians play …
It’s the weekend again! I’m hoping the next two weeks of summer (before Labor Day) go nice and slowly. Our beach club closes early this year, on Labor Day, and with the cooler than usual weather we’ve been having, I feel like we’re having a shorter than normal summer, boo hoo. Hope you are having …
