Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I was asleep at the wheel. I completely forgot about Ulta’s fall 21 Days of Beauty that started yesterday, Sunday September 3, 2017. I got my Ulta catalogue last week, but I never got a chance to even turn it over to see the cover where the sale was announced. I should be on a …
How’s your weekend going so far? Mine is off to a good start. Thursday night, my book club met for dinner and wine and a book discussion outdoors for a change at the yacht club that a couple of our members belong to. It was a stellar night with a big moon over the water. …
I lucked out when @Influenster chose me to receive one of the new Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic shadow palettes. I requested the green and gold Edgitorial palette, and that’s what I was sent to try out for free! I’ve been using it for almost a month, so I wanted to share my thoughts and swatches …
I had a bunch of CVS ExtraBucks that I needed to use, so I made the trip to CVS. I ended up accumulating about $32 worth of stuff, and in the end, it cost me $7 and change. Not bad. Not bad at all. That purchase included two tubes of Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and 10 …
I get kind of depressed toward the end of August, here in New England. Our beautiful summer in Massachusetts arrived late this year: it was chilly even in June. And temperatures hovering around 70 degrees during the height of the afternoon have returned. At night, it has gone down to the 50s and even the …
When my college friend Cindy visited me a few weeks ago, I was instantly taken by the eyeliner pencil she was using to line her hazel eyes. Cindy has honey brown curly, curly almost angelic hair and a warm skin tone with slightly olive undertones. She doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, but the eyeliner …
Oh boo hoo, August is rapidly coming to an end. But today is Fashion Flash Monday, and as usual, there’s lot of fun and informative reading from the over 40 lifestyle, wellness and beauty bloggers in our fabulous group! This week, Fashion Flash is hosted by Melanie of Society Wellness. So hop over and take …
I’ve written nostalgically in the past about both the Georgette Klinger salons and their line of fabulous skincare products. Whenever I posted about Georgette Klinger, I got comments from women who found my posts when they were searching for info about the Georgette Klinger salons and skincare products. Like me, they never found as good …
Hectic weekend for us coming up. It’s Jeff’s birthday today, and we’ve got a lot going on. Hope you’re either busy with fun things or taking it easy during one of the last summer weekends. Enjoy! LORAC has been killing it lately with their new palettes and Prime Beauty has two to show you. If …
For a late summer Friday where not that many people are reading blogposts, I think I’ll go back to my feature, Friday Find, where I post a short review of something I found in my stash. A couple of weeks ago, I found a deluxe sample of Hanalei Lip Treatment that I received from Ipsy …
August means the Waterfront Festival in beautiful Gloucester MA, and my yearly meet up with Daphne, the esthetician and artisan behind Natural Island Botanicals natural skincare products. I’ve been singing the praises of Daphne’s handmade soaps and skincare products for years now. And I still feel as strongly about them as I always have. …
Ipsy is changing things up. This month, instead of the raspberry pink metallic mailing envelope that I’ve been getting for three years, I received a gold metallic mailing envelope. Pretty and eye-catching. Inside the mailer, I found this month’s heavy plastic that almost feels like fabric makeup bag: ombre shades of lavender through raspberry pink …
Another summer week gone, and time for another edition of Fashion Flash, the online lifestyle mag for women over 40. Erika from Notes From My Dressing Table is our host this week. I’m always amazed at the wonderful variety in the posts that Fashion Flash shares, and this week is no exception. First, enter Marcia …
I have long lashes, even my bottom lashes (thanks Wink Lash and Brow Oil), but they’re colorless. 🙁 So for me, mascara is a must. When I was ordering the Wet N Wild Rainbow Highlighter in Unicorn Glow that arrived broken and I repaired last week here, I noticed Megaslim Skinny Mascara on the website, …
Amalie Beauty makes one of my favorite beauty products, Wink Lash and Brow Oil. I wrote about it recently in my Favorites post, and I reviewed it (here) about a year ago. Outside of straight castor oil, it’s the only lash oil that I can use on my sensitive eyes, and I love the brush …
