Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Stila is a brand that doesn’t get enough love. I think they make fabulous makeup. Their Convertible Color Blush is among my very favorite blushes. It’s a cream, so of course I am drawn to it. But unlike some cream blushes that fade fairly quickly (I’m looking at you IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi), …
So it’s Monday already, and time for Fashion Flash, the online mini-mag for women over 40. This week, Fashion Flash is being hosted by our fearless leader Deb of No Nonsense Beauty. She asked each of us to submit our wildest post, but looks like it has morphed into our favorite post. I posted about …
MyChelle Dermaceuticals is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to natural, cruelty-free, affordable skincare products. Their cream and spray sunscreens are my go-tos in the summer. And if you have not sniffed and tried their pumpkin skincare line including my favorite Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser, you are truly missing out. So I was …
This was a short week, and it’s the weekend again. No complaints from me. What’s on your calendar this weekend? Jeff and I are going to a simulcast of the Metropolitan Opera’s Rusalka by Dvorak. The story of Rusalka is based on a myth that could be described as a version of the Little Mermaid. …
Well, I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the makeup bag itself from Ipsy this month. It’s February, and they named the bag “Much Love”, so I definitely wasn’t expecting faux denim even with the red plastic piping around the edges. Oh well, I guess I’m not going to love the bag every …
Have I mentioned how much I love lipstick? Yes, I know I did just two days ago. Lipstick presents endless possibilities for transformation. And speaking of transformation, how about lipstick that transforms itself?! Lipstick that turns color in response to your body chemistry. I recently received new Flirt lip pHetish Color Converting Lipstick collection of …
A zillion years ago when I got a real job while I was still in graduate school, I used the little bit of extra cash in my pocket to buy skincare products. I worked in midtown Manhattan at the Guttmann Breast Cancer Diagnostic Center as an interviewer, and our office wasn’t far from both B. …
This month, I love the satiny blush drawstring bag with Smitten and Sephora Play written in gold that’s a key element of the February 2017 Sephora Play bag. The theme, “The Soft Side” reflects the soft shades of the lip products and the fragrance in this month’s bag. The word “Smitten” written on the bag and the …
First things first. I want to announce the winner of the Luscious Lips by Cynthia Rowland Lip Pump winner, but I’m a little embarrassed because the winner has a beautiful and distinctive name but I’m not sure which is her first name and which is her last name. My bad. The winner is Paol T. …

By all indicators, this has been a mild winter in Massachusetts. The snow held off until February, so unless it continues into April, heaven forbid, I guess I can’t complain too much. But of course I will complain some. I’m getting ready to go out and shovel again. We got another 3-4 inches. Here’s the …
The Body Shop really has been hitting the ball out of the park lately with its new skincare products. I am so impressed with the 5 masks that I have, and the body butters are everyone’s favorites! I recently received two new products to try: Drops of Youth Liquid Peel Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Eye …
A month or so ago, I wrote about several natural or organic beauty products I received from Good Earth Beauty. Good Earth Beauty has its own brand of beauty products and they also are a retailer of other natural and/or organic brands. In addition to selling products individually, Good Earth Beauty has a number of non-subscription …
