Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I put my crocheting away for months. I don’t know why, but I lost interest. Fortunately, I decided I needed to get back into it. Crocheting can be relaxing, and I can always use a stress-reducer. To be honest, I have more scarves, hats and shawls than anyone I know, lol. I used to gift …
When I bought my favorite perfume, Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle, a couple of years ago during Barney’s Fall Beauty Event, I qualified for their fabulous beauty bag of luxury cosmetics. The items in the good sized dop kit-style bag (reviewed here) totaled well over $200. I’ve used most of the deluxe sample size and …
The leaves are starting to change here in New England, but the temperatures are still warm. This might have been the last beach weekend of the season, boo hoo, and we missed it ‘coz Jeff has a cold. But let’s celebrate the end of summer and the start of autumn with this week’s edition of …
This month sure went by fast. Both Ipsy and Sephora Play for September arrived in my mailbox on Friday. Both contained things I like as well as, sadly, one near miss. Let’s take a look. Ipsy Like. A. Boss. This month’s Like. A. Boss. themed bag from Ipsy comes in an embossed black plastic makeup …
Happy weekend! It’s one of the last summer weekend, but some nice summery weather here outside of Boston. As usual, I plan a lot of things for the weekend. Last night, my garden club had its annual board dinner – delicious and fun. Tonight, we’re going to see Al Gore’s new movie. Tomorrow, maybe hanging …
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of Jesse’s Girl, an affordable makeup brand that you can find online and at select RiteAid and Longs drugstores. I can’t stop singing the praises of their liquid lipstick Matte Finish Lip Color (reviewed here and here), the only one I can wear without drying out my already …
Are you familiar with AmorePacific? Although it is a luxury skincare brand, AmorePacific is also the number one brand of cosmetics in Korea! I wrote about it last year when I tested out their lovely Age Correcting Cushion Foundation SPF 25 (here). AmorePacific’s founder built the company based on the antioxidant benefits found in green tea …
This weekend, Jeff was in Atlanta visiting his daughter. So I had a chance to do things that I wanted to do. I got a headstart on holiday and birthday shopping, and I picked up a couple of things for myself. But what I was so eager to do was to go to Colby Farms …
Over the last few months, I have really gotten into aromatherapy. I have no idea whether it really “works” for me or not, but I am a fragrance junkie, and I enjoy the scents. Certain scents like lavender or lavender blends are definitely relaxing and soothing for me. I enjoy orange or citrus scent because …
This week absolutely flew by. I hope you had a good short week and an enjoyable Labor Day weekend if you were in the U.S. But I also want to say that those of you who were hit by hurricane Harvey in Texas or Louisiana or if hurricane Irma is heading your way, you are …
MyChelle just launched a new natural lip balm in the cutest little pot. The sheer lip balm inside is the prettiest shade of pink. Such an adorable lip product! But the real news is how it’s made: with natural ingredients. It’s made with shea butter, coconut, kalahari melon, and meadowfoam oils. When I first tried …
When I review products, I try to test them out for a length of time that gives me confidence that I know what I’m talking about, lol. For skincare, I aim for about a month before reviewing a product. But sometimes, when I use a product till I use it up, I change my mind …
A couple of weeks ago, I showed you how I repaired my Wet N Wild Color Icon Rainbow Highlighter, Unicorn Glow, that arrived in the mail smashed to smithereens. I was unable to get the colored horizontal wavy stripes back, and after repair, the blue shade sort of took over the palette. Way too much …
So sad to see the summer end. I know it technically lasts well into September, but for us in New England, it gets chilly in September. I’m always wishing I could turn on the heat in the morning. But who knows, maybe there will be a beach day or two before October. In terms …
