Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Several months ago, Beauty Spotlight Team started a new feature, Most Repurchased Beauty Products. Before I was a blogger, I bought the exact same products over and over again, often for decades! But now as a beauty blogger, I am often required to test new products and I have to stop using something I love …
I hope you’ve had as fun a weekend as I did. It seems like non-stop events and get-togethers since the middle of last week! And today my aunt is coming to visit for a day or two, so I’m dashing off this post. I hope I’ll be able to get one up for Thursday but …
I hadn’t tried Avon makeup in ages so I was pleased when I was given a chance to try Avon mascara. I was sent Avon True Color Super Extend Nourishing Mascara, and I had chosen the shade, Navy. It also comes in black and brown-black. It has a sturdy, wide-ish wand with plastic teeth on …
I haven’t bought anything from Too Faced in a looooong time. Over Memorial Weekend, they had a sale on their website (25% off and free shipping!) so I used that opportunity to pick up one of their relatively new highlighters, Love Light, in Ray of Light, a rose gold shade. Did I mention that the …
For the past couple of years, I have been preferring mascaras that I guess you’d call lengthening mascaras. You know the ones with the skinny wands with short plastic teeth. I love the fact that they just about never clump or make lashes stick together. My favorite have been Too Faced LashGasm and Mirabella Lasting …
June is one of the busiest months of the year. High school graduations, proms, weddings, engagements, parties. It’s an almost never-ending social whirl! With so many events to attend including some that require travel, I’m always on the lookout for makeup that’s portable but also fabulous and fun to use. Enter Paul & Joe’s Spring 2017 …
When Ulta had its 20% off coupon last month, I went into the store to look around. On my list was a new sunscreen with SPF 50 from IT Cosmetics, Anti-aging Armour. I couldn’t find it at Ulta because it’s an exclusive at Sephora and on the IT Cosmetics website. Once I saw it, I …
I think that Ipsy definitely continues to have the edge in the competition of inexpensive makeup subscriptions. I got another winner on Saturday from Ipsy: all makeup! Yay! The theme is Summer Friday. When I worked in advertising in New York, we had summer Fridays. At one agency, we got out on Friday at 1pm, at …
Beauty Junkees is my favorite great quality, affordable brand bar none. I love their brushes and sponges – IMHO, they are the best value around. And over the past few months, they’ve launched makeup! A few weeks ago, I introduced you to their beautiful blushes (here) that fit nicely into their sturdy, well-made, affordable magnetic …
I’ve been wanting one of the Tarte round shadow palette for more than a year. The round shape really appeals to me. Every time Tarte has a sale I look at them, but up till recently I haven’t taken the plunge. The previous round palettes are great, but I already had similar shades. But when …
I haven’t done a face of the day in ages. Instead of a review, I thought this might be a nice change of pace plus I’m using a few products that either I haven’t used in a long time or I’ve just purchased. Today was sadly a gray day for May 1. The only thing that …
Today I went into Boston to get my hair colored and cut, or so I thought. It turns out I didn’t have an appointment to have my hair cut after all. I am sure I asked the receptionist a month ago to make me an appointment with both my colorist and my stylist. Oh well, …
I always get excited about getting the birthday gifts from Sephora and Ulta. My birthday was on Easter Sunday this year, but I made my visit to Sephora and Ulta more than a week in advance. In fact, Ulta sent me home empty-handed! They said I had to wait to get the coupon before I …
I thought I had found my HG liquid foundation quite a while ago. I really love Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. It’s lightweight, it covers well, and Sand is almost a perfect match for my skintone. But my head has been turned by another liquid foundation, MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Foundation. A few …
I don’t know why I seldom shopped Wet N Wild. Their makeup is affordable and cruelty-free. I think I thought it was too young for me. But speaking of too young, a limited edition lip gloss palette with heart-shaped pans caught my eye, and though it looks like it was created for 10 year olds, …
