Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
My bathroom looks like a hair salon these days. I’ve been trying out so many new haircare products and brands I’m almost overwhelmed. So when I received 4 new haircare products from StriVectin, I wasn’t even sure where I was going to put them, lol. StriVectin, well-known for their research-based skincare products with their patented …
February didn’t have a ton of products that I emptied, but enough to report on them. This month was a mix of old favorites and new products. Let’s see what’s worth repurchasing. Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Gel Sensation I got this full size can of shower foam in …
I recently received two very contemporary looking hair products to try out for review. They were from Unwash whose tagline is “The New Clean”. I don’t believe that I received any explanatory materials along with them. I looked at the bottles, and I determined that the Anti-Residue Rinse is a clarifying product. I love clarifying haircare products. …
The young stylist at Vidal Sassoon told me that my hair is in good shape! I thought it was very dry and damaged, but she assured me it only had dry ends. Yay! I’ve been working hard at trying to cure the dryness, and I guess I’m succeeding. That said, it made me nervous to …
I don’t know why but the ends of my hair have been dry and “crispy” since the end of the summer. I’ve had two hair cuts since then, and it makes a difference initially but the dryness returns. I try to wash my hair only every 4 days, but I guess blow drying it and …
Somehow I managed to see an alert at the very end of November for the new TargetStyle Beauty Box. This month, the women’s box was $10 instead of the $5 I paid last time. And they also had a men’s box for $5 that I should have picked up for my family’s Yankee Swap that …
I tagged along with one of my friends who’s VIB Rouge on the first day of the Sephora sale so I could see a few things in person that I was considering. Sephora used to let you shop if you went along with a friend at a higher level than you but no more. But …
Brrrrr, there was frost on the grass this morning! The temperatures went below freezing last night again. I guess there’s no stopping this winter thing. So I’m trying to get ready for the dryness that cold weather brings and keep my skin in good shape for the holidays. I love oils, and recently I received …
I’ve been taking biotin, an important B vitamin for hair and nail growth, for more than two years. It has made a huge difference in the health of my nails as well as in the rate of growth of both my hair and nails. I have to file my nails and trim my hair more …
Keeping my word, I’m back to announce the cosmetics giveaway that I mentioned in my review of the Disney Villains Soho Beauty Makeup Bag for Halloween 2015. I’ve been putting away makeup, skincare and fragrance items that I thought would make a nice gift and here they are. To refresh your memory from yesterday 🙄 …
I have thick, coarse, color-treated hair that was more dried out from a summer spent at the beach than I realized. I wear a hat at the beach as often as I can, but I get too hot wearing a hat when I’m outside jogging or gardening. So in spite of trying to do the …
I’m quite satisfied with the haircare products I’ve been using, but I decided to take a chance and try out a new hair conditioner from Maple Holistics, a natural haircare brand. Silk 18 Conditioner contains “18 different silk amino acids to improve moisture retention”. I’ve used the hair conditioner a few times since I received …
About three times a year, Barney’s New York has a cosmetics, fragrance and grooming event where if you spend $200+, you will receive either a woman’s or a man’s goody bag filled with cosmetics, fragrance and grooming products. I just got mine today, and I was blown away by it! They extended the event so …
With the sad end of beach season in my neck of the woods, at least there’s something good about to happen: Ulta Beauty is hosting their 21 Days of Beauty for Fall 2015! It starts on September 6 and goes through September 26. Every day there is a different product or products on sale at …
This was another good month for empties. I guess you could say I finished up a bunch of random stuff. Skintimate Shave Gel This particular pink and floral scented shave gel from Skintimate was my favorite for many years. But the last time I stocked up at Costco, they had the Shick/Olay brand instead. So I …
