Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
September was a good month for me in terms of finishing up quite a few beauty products. Hopefully, I’ll make 100 empties in 2020 after all, if I can keep this up! Let’s take a look. I Bought This, PR Samples, Affiliate Links (BTW, some of the products ended up in the wrong photo, but …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Trying out the Super Black mascara, Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara (reviewed here), made me question my everyday (or truthfully, my every now and then), eye look. As I’ve mentioned a number of times, I certainly am not wearing makeup or even eye makeup every day in …
I have been lucky to get chosen by Influenster, the social media influencers platform, to test out products from time to time. PR sample, Affiliate Links I was really excited when I got picked to try out two new products from luxury brand, Charlotte Tilbury. Today, I will be talking about one of them, new …
I haven’t bought much during Ulta’s fall 21 Days of Beauty. Gee, I bought something early in the sale, but I can’t even remember what it was. Yikes, I always thought I had such a good memory! “I bought this and affiliate links” But …
Yesterday, I made the mistake of upgrading to the new version of WordPress for my blog. I had delayed doing it for weeks, but I finally did it, and now I regret it. The area where I put in the title of the post has completely disappeared. Sorry about that. I have no idea how …
Mostly, I wear mauve for everyday lips and tips (nails). Somehow, mauve is an in-between nude shade that’s neutral but still has some color that keeps me from looking dead. But lately, I have been pining for pink. In some ways, I think it’s hard to find a good pink, even though there are about …
You’re probably sick of me singing the praises of City Lips, but I can’t help it. I love it, and my lips love it! I use City Lips Clear every night to condition and soften my lips. The hyaluronic acid really makes a difference for my dry lips. I often wear City Lips Clear or …
I have not been wearing much, if any, makeup since the beginning of March. To be honest, I miss it. But it comes off on my mask when I go out, so I often skip it. However, for Jeff’s birthday this week, we went out to dinner outdoors in Boston, and we both wanted to …
Several Ipsy Plus bags ago, I received a highlighter duo compact from Girlactik. It was very pretty, nicely pigmented, and all around terrific. I had never heard of that brand before, but the compact certainly put it on my radar. Shortly after that, ads from Girlactik started showing up in my Facebook feed. Ads for …
ColourPop Wild Nothing Shadow Palette It has been ages since I bought anything from ColourPop. So when I saw photos of their new-ish Wild Nothing Shadow Palette, I decided to give it a try. Wild Nothing is a peachy/neutral pressed powder palette made up of mostly light-colored mattes and shimmer shadows, a mix of warm …
I’ve mentioned many times that the makeup product I love buying and wearing most is lipstick. Well, it’s a trying time for lipstick lovers like me. Wearing a mask either makes wearing lipstick unnecessary because many times no one sees it. Or wearing lipstick underneath a mask means lipstick stains all over the inside of …
When there’s a sale at City Beauty, that’s when I do my shopping. A couple of weeks ago, they were promoting my favorite lip balm and lip plumper, City Lips, at 40% off plus a free colored City Lips. Of course, I bought a back up Clear City Lips for my stash. Though they started out …
Every day seems to be celebrating something. And today is National Lipstick Day! Usually I would be wearing one of my favorite lipsticks, most likely a celebratory red, but today I have a hair appointment at Sassoon in Boston and I’ll be wearing a mask all day. Nevertheless, it’s nice to acknowledge lipstick, usually the …
Months ago, I received FIXY Makeup Creation & Repair Kit. But in order to try it out, I didn’t want to break one of my pressed powder eyeshadows or blushes. Somehow I forgot all about the Cargo Water Resistant Blush in the gorgeous deep pink shade, Bali (it also comes in 2 other lovely shades), …
Since I haven’t been wearing much, if any makeup, for the past 4 months, the last thing I needed was another eyeshadow palette. But the siren song of a sale at Viseart, the French professional makeup brand, was too much for me to ignore. I own 3 or 4 full size Viseart eyeshadow palettes, and …
