Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I usually take Sundays off from blogging, but this week I have something to let you know about today only. This year I pretty much ignored Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty. Not that they didn’t have some good buys. They definitely did and still do. But I am at the stage where I’m going to have …
This weekend, we’re back to Beauty Spotlight Team’s feature: Our Most Repurchased Cosmetics! The post this week is brought to us by Pammy of Pammy Blogs Beauty. I haven’t had a chance to find out what her tried and trues are yet, but I do know she’s concentrating on skincare. So join me as I hop …
Soufeel, a Korean competitor to Pandora, got me hooked on charm bracelets almost two years ago. Now I’m on my second bracelet. Their adorable, affordable, sterling silver charms are addicting! I’ve written about Soufeel charm bracelets twice before: Mother’s Day gift ideas and holiday gift ideas from Soufeel. Somehow, they recaptured me the other night, after quite a …
I had been doing really well on a no-buy period, but when I saw about a million reviews from other bloggers who had been sent IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Compact, my resolve weakened and then finally crumbled. I had to try it for myself. Ulta had a coupon in February, so that put me …
For the holidays, Jeff’s daughters gave us a Groupon experience: a sushi-making class at a Japanese restaurant on Newbury Street in Boston. Because the Groupon was about to expire, we got our act together and made a reservation for our class. Jeff called to find out how long the class lasted, and he was told 30 …
It’s been ages since I did a Face of the Day post. Yesterday I was playing around with a pigment eye shadow that I bought a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to write about it. I just got my hair recolored, and it is a bright but deep copper shade. I decided to …
Monday means a new edition of Fashion Flash, the online lifestyle mini-mag for women over 40. We have another blogger who has joined the team, Stephanie from Home In High Heels. She just did a mermaid eye look that I think is the prettiest ever. This week, Fashion Flash is being hosted by Erika from …
I love starting a new season with new makeup, especially make up in pretty colors! So I was excited to receive a nice big box from Jesse’s Girl a couple of weeks ago. Let’s get into it! Dream Girl Eyeshadow Palette I have Jesse’s Girl “The Eyes Have It” eyeshadow palette that I picked up …
Happy first weekend of spring! My yard is still covered with snow, but it’s certainly brighter out now than it has been. I’m hopeful that spring will come to MA eventually. Hope it’s sunny and springy wherever you are! There’s lots of news from the members of the Beauty Spotlight Team. Hope you have time …
I received two deluxe samples of backlight filter primers in subscription bags over the past year, and I’ve been intrigued by them. This isn’t a review. Just some random thoughts of mine and wondering what experiences you’ve had with them. April usually means a VIB discount at Sephora and maybe Ulta, so the two that …
MAKE UP FOR EVER has certainly been busy lately with a new campaign and a new flagship store. “BLEND IN. STAND OUT” Campaign The brand that is known for breaking down barriers in the beauty industry with a product line that reflects the diversity of people everywhere has launched a new campaign, “Blend In. …
Although I am a big fan of micellar water for removing my makeup, over the past few weeks I’ve noticed that I’m not getting all of my makeup off – especially my foundation – with micellar water on a cotton pad. I’ve been a little surprised at how much more comes off with toner after …
The sun was out today, and it’s the first day of spring! Hooray, in spite of the fact that there’s still snow and ice not only on my lawn but on my walkway that makes it necessary to go out the garage door to get outside. Hopefully it’ll melt soon and maybe some spring bulbs will …
I am pooped. Completely exhausted. I gave a dinner party for friends who haven’t been over for dinner in a few years, and I was surprised at how much work it was! Here’s the table setting (without the pretty pink wine glasses unfortunately.) Our dinner went on until about midnight. I must be getting old …
