Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Oh, why do things always get lost at the bottom of my makeup bag? Probably because I’ve got too much in there. But I went hunting in the bag and came up with Maybelline Face Studio Master Conceal, this week’s Friday Find. I bought it a couple of months ago at CVS, forgot to review …
Although this isn’t something that I’ve just rediscovered in my stash, Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder is nevertheless a “find”. Over a year ago, I needed a setting powder and I didn’t want to spend a lot. So the Dream Wonder name of this Maybelline pressed powder compact called out to me. It’s a very utilitarian looking …
Jordana has really been busy this year with oodles of new product and shade introductions. And they are definitely going with the trend toward color. Recently, they sent me the new Cat Eye Liner liquid liner in 8 shades. Oops, thought I arranged them in order with the shade names showing, but I …
A couple of months ago, I shared the new modern matte lipsticks from Jordana. They have become my matte lipstick of choice. They are beautifully pigmented and not drying. They last on my lips for hours and leave behind a stain once they fade. Plus, they are incredibly affordable. Jordana has introduced 6 new shades …
Last week, I went out to dinner with my friend, Kim, to celebrate her birthday. Since it was a happy and festive event – even though it was just the two of us on a Tuesday night, I decided to go with celebratory makeup and that means taking a break from my usual neutral matte …
I’m a matte shadow lover. I own more matte palettes than anyone I know. But I also love cream shadows. So when Milani sent me all four of their Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes several weeks ago, I knew I had to move out of my matte shadow comfort zone. Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine are …
I like CVS because the stores are so darn convenient. There’s one on almost every corner, lol. But their makeup prices are definitely higher than Walmart and even Target. To make up for it, they have ExtraBucks and Beauty Club rewards. I just shared my CVS Maybelline haul from a little over a week ago. …
I had some CVS Extrabucks, and CVS had a couple of great 30% off coupons since the beginning of March. So I took advantage of the situation and purchased a couple of items I needed and a couple I wanted to try. Maybelline has really been rockin’ it IMHO. It was the first brand of makeup I ever used …
I’m really taken by all the new products and shades being introduced by Jordana for Spring 2015. The Modern Mattes (reviewed here) are definitely my favorite matte lipstick, and I also seem to be reaching for them more than any other lippie of any kind, matte or not. And the Easyliner lip pencils go on …
I’m loving all the lip products I recently received from Jordana for Spring 2015. It’s an embarrassment of riches! Today, I’d like to show you the new additions to the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain and the Easyliner for Liips product lines. Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain Jordana has added …
I’m always on the lookout for long wearing lipsticks for those times when it’s inconvenient to reapply my lipstick. And I’m always listening for everyone’s recommendations. Over the past several months, I’ve picked up three affordable long wearing lipsticks from the drugstore. A couple of them were mentioned in a Facebook group for makeup artists …
Today, I’ve got the first installment of reviews for Jordana’s new Spring 2015 makeup collection that I recently received. If you are new to Jordana, it is the second brand in Milani Cosmetics stable of fabulous drugstore brands. Jordana is sold at Walgreens, K Mart, Duane Reade, and Save Mart Supermarkets. Unfortunately, it’s not always at the …
I’m a big fan of cream shadows, so when I saw a video review of Revlon Photoready Eye Art, I knew I “needed” it. There were about 5 or 6 different color options on the display, though the Revlon website shows 10 options. I chose Peach Prism, a peachy/light coppery shade that I thought would …
I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the United States during the autumn. Leaf peepers come here in droves to see our beautiful foliage. In the next state, New Hampshire, in the college town of Keene, there is the largest pumpkin festival with at least a thousand lit jack-o-lanterns. It’s an incredible …
Jewel tones are in for Fall 2014. I remember jewel tones in the 1980s, but today’s jewel tones capture more of the shimmering qualities of the gems themselves. So much more beautiful. Milani has jumped on the bandwagon and is introducing the limited edition Bedazzled collection of gel eyeliners, nail lacquers and lipsticks with gemstone …
