Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I finally discovered the pleasures of essential oils a couple of months ago when I started using my essential oil diffuser (reviewed here). Quite a while ago, I received the Peppermint Aromatherapy Singles essential oil from Everyone Aromatherapy. At the time, I didn’t have a diffuser so I used to put a couple of drops …
The summer is rushing by. My lily gardens are at the hight of their beauty. Time to savor as much as we can of this wonderful season especially for those of us who live up north in colder climates. So if you can take a break, pull up a chair in your garden, yard or …
Aveda, the natural, cruelty-free and environmentally friendly haircare and skincare brand, has been sending me all sorts of fabulous products lately: not only hair care but skincare too. Their wonderful Tulasara Wedding Eye Masque (reviewed here) has become my go-to eye cream of late, and I’m “saving” the wonderful Overnight Wedding Masque for the cold …
Here we are at the weekend again. I’m hoping that today, Saturday, will surprise us and be sunny all day after a couple of gloomy, occasionally rainy days. Hope the sun is out wherever you all! Enjoy the weekend, and if you can, take a break with the Beauty Spotlight Team! Prime Beauty is fanning …
A couple of days ago, I wrote about my recent MAC mini-haul, and I showed swatches of MAC’s Satin Lipstick, Sushi Kiss. I’m on the fence about it, although I’m beginning to think it’s a nice summer shade. The more I use it, the more it reminds me of the pale pastel, retro shades that …

I haven’t used a lot of makeup from MAC. I wish they were cruelty-free. A few years ago, I won a limited edition MAC cream base in a giveaway. I never wore it much because I wasn’t sure what it actually did. Then a couple of years ago, I picked up a pot of cream …
So have you ever heard of a nail file addiction? I have one. Ever since the package from Mont Bleu nail tools arrived from The Czech Republic, I can’t stop filing my nails. I had to go to the post office on a Saturday a few weeks ago to pick up a mysterious package …
Here we are at the start of a “normal” week with no holidays. So let’s take a break and check out this week’s Fashion Flash, the emag for women over 40. Here’s a sampling of what to expect: a fruit that’s an antioxidant rockstar how to travel with kids beauty products that can make you …
I love the beach. It’s truly my happy place. I’ve posted lots of photos from my favorite, Good Harbor Beach. But even though I always wear sunscreen and sit under a small umbrella, I need more protection from the sun’s rays. I am covered with dark spots so I try to cover up as much …
Several months ago, Beauty Spotlight Team started a new feature, Most Repurchased Beauty Products. Before I was a blogger, I bought the exact same products over and over again, often for decades! But now as a beauty blogger, I am often required to test new products and I have to stop using something I love …
I am always on the lookout for lightweight sunscreens especially for my face. Though I prefer physical sunscreens to the chemical ones, I do use both. On Renu’s blog, Cosmetopiadigest, I read her mini-review of Country & Stream Honey UV Water Gel SPF 32, and I was intrigued because she said it was lightweight. When …
Did you see the movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea? I did and though I think the movie was more about the people of Gloucester, it was a terrific movie and Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful town. My aunt was visiting with me over the holiday weekend, and today she helped me work on a floral display that my friend, …
I hope you’ve had as fun a weekend as I did. It seems like non-stop events and get-togethers since the middle of last week! And today my aunt is coming to visit for a day or two, so I’m dashing off this post. I hope I’ll be able to get one up for Thursday but …
