Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Last month, Jeff and I went to a nearby farm to pick strawberries. Because I knew I’d be squatting to pick berries, I didn’t bring my phone with me so I have no photos of the beautiful fields of green plants with red berries. Oh well. I picked 2 quarts of strawberries to use for …
I can never have enough sunscreens, and I recently received a new sunscreen made with physical sunblock and a high percentage of natural and organic ingredients. Since I’m piling on the sunscreen these days, and chemicals can enter the bloodstream through the skin, I like to choose natural and organic ingredients when I can. The …
Years ago, during a business trip to Las Vegas, I had a couple of days to myself before the project started. So I decided to go to the Canyon Ranch Spa for a facial. I noticed some interesting looking ice blue spa sandals, and I bought a pair. They were designed by a Swiss podiatrist, and they …
Thank goodness, June was a big month for me for using up beauty products, especially ones that I’ve had for a while. I look forward to recycling all these bottles and jars! So here’s the scoop on what I thought about each of the empties and whether I think they’re repurchase-worthy. SHAMPOO EO …
The Beauty Spotlight Team has been running a series, “What’s in xxxxx purse?” for the past couple of months featuring different bloggers in the group. I’m very curious about what’s in The Painted Rogue’s purse because I don’t know her at all. But I do know that her name is Syl and that she’s from New …
Hope you’re having a lovely regular weekend or Fourth of July weekend! Jeff and I went to see the fireworks on Friday night in Gloucester, and they did not disappoint. I’m glad I went to the beach on Friday afternoon because it’s raining right now on Saturday afternoon. Luckily, we got in a little tennis …
I wish a wonderful July 4th and Independence weekend to all my American readers. Hope you’re having a great time with family and friends! I know nobody’s reading beauty blogs this weekend, but just in case here are just a few for you to take a peak at from the gals at Beauty Blogazons. Think …
I have waaaaay too much makeup. In spite of having decent storage for my makeup brushes, most nail polish, and my Milani shadow singles, everything else is stored rather randomly. So I managed to lose track of the Eddie Funkhouser lipsticks and lipgloss that I won some time ago in a great giveaway on Cindy Ingalls’ …
A few weeks ago, I got an unexpected, great surprise. Exuviance, one of my favorite skincare brands, sent me a hot-off-the-press, straight from the laboratory (for real, no kidding) new facial mask that hasn’t even been released yet! It arrived without a label in a lab-filled, undecorated, i.e. plain, white metal pump tube. How lucky to get the …
I love hats. And they are just as important in summer as they are in winter. My color-treated red hair fades dramatically during the summer, so wearing a hat when I’m outdoors helps. Keeping the sun off my face is a priority for me. A hat with a nice brim is what I look for. …
Summer is finally here, though it’s still cool in MA. Regardless, I’m spending a lot more time outdoors gardening, jogging, riding my bike, playing tennis, or just walking around. It’s imperative to wear sunscreen! In fact, I just read that there are kiosks in Boston that are dispensing free sunscreen. How cool is that! So …

Happy Summer Weekend! This past week I went to the beach for the first time this season. And of course, the sun went behind a cloud and stayed there for just about the entire afternoon. Supposedly the ocean was 54 degrees which is mighty cold. But I stuck my feet in, and I think it …
Although this isn’t something that I’ve just rediscovered in my stash, Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder is nevertheless a “find”. Over a year ago, I needed a setting powder and I didn’t want to spend a lot. So the Dream Wonder name of this Maybelline pressed powder compact called out to me. It’s a very utilitarian looking …
Lorac The Resort Palette, a limited edition eye and cheek palette, came out in the early spring, available only at Nordstrom for about $25. I just didn’t want to spend $25, so I passed. A couple of months ago, the palette showed up on Hautelook, and I didn’t want to pay the shipping costs. So I …
