Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
There are so many gorgeous nail polishes these days, it’s hard to keep a favorite for long. But right now, mine is Danni from Zoya. I picked it up during their 3 for $12 special back in January, but I just got around to trying it a few days ago. I was expecting a lot …
Back in late November, I entered a giveaway on the Beautyholics Anonymous blog, and to my surprise I was one of the winners announced just before Christmas! And what was also such fun was that I had no idea what I won! (BTW, if you don’t know her already, Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous is a very …
I’m sure most of you in the U.S. and perhaps in Canada and other parts of the world, may have heard that we’re having a heck of a winter. In fact, we’re expecting another storm tomorrow. It’s March for heaven’s sake. Give it up, ole’ man winter! Move along! Midnight Velvet to the rescue! Yesterday, …
I’ve been traveling on business for the past two weeks. I was so lucky to get to leave the snowy, gloomy weather in New England behind for sunny and warm Phoenix and San Francisco. I hated to come home yesterday, especially knowing I was facing an unshoveled driveway, 70 foot unshoveled walkway and front steps …
Back in college, it was cool to use Vitabath’s Original Spring Green Shower Gelee or the European brand Badedas. That was before shower gel or body wash became popular in the U.S. Actually, Vitabath Spring Green was just about the only game in town. Over the years, with all the new brands and scents and …
I have really fallen for Japanese facial skincare. I’ve been using Hada Labo Tokyo Skin Plumping Gel Cream and the Anti-aging Hydrating Serum with Super Hyaluronic Acid for about three months now, and I love them both. Not too long ago, I reviewed the moisturizer and the serum. If you haven’t checked them out, here …
A few months ago, I wrote a review of CoverGirl’s Perfect Penny, rose gold nail polish. And I mentioned how much I LOVE rose gold. To me, it’s the prettiest of the metals, and I think it’s the most flattering with my coloring. I think it looks great on women of all skintones and coloring …
Be A Bombshell is an indie makeup brand that I was introduced to via my November ipsy bag. I received a lip crayon in Hot Damn, a bright red that’s perfect for me and is so comfortable to wear. …
I seemed to have acquired a lot of new eye shadow palettes recently. And I have come to the conclusion that spending more on eye shadow can make a difference. I don’t really feel that way about mascara, but the more expensive eye shadows are so much more velvety, easier to apply, and generally — …
As some of you know, I’m a huge fan of gel moisturizers. I love the lightweight feel as well as the fact that they don’t clog my pores or create blackheads like traditional, creamy moisturizers can. A new one came my way almost two months ago. Since I can sometimes be fickle about new products …
Just when you thought you had all the Lilly Pulitzer makeup bags you could use, here’s a new one in an original Lilly Pulitzer print offered along with Estée Lauder at Lord & Taylor. It’s available starting on December 26 and goes through January 15, 2014. I am such a sucker for Lilly Pulitzer preppy …
Since this is the season of opening boxes and receiving new things, I thought I’d tell you about the box of holiday and seasonal goodies from a variety of brands that I received from Influenster to test and review. …
Mid-December has arrived and so has my December “Celebration” ipsy bag! I was away when it arrived and the temperature outside that day in MA was 3 degrees! I was afraid the makeup was going to freeze and break. My friend Kim was kind enough to go out in the snowstorm and take it out …
The alphabet soup of foundation alternatives continues. I seem to be accumulating quite a collection. BB creams or beauty balms that provide moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, and medium coverage are still a key part of my routine. My favorite BB cream is Dr. Jart Premium. It comes in a single light shade with a whitish cast …
The holidays are here, and what better time for a makeup giveaway from Milani! I am so excited about this giveaway because I love, love, love these lip-shaped makeup cases filled with gorgeous …
