Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
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 …
Did you see that Pantone chose two shades to be the Colors of 2016 instead of the usual one signature shade? Rose Quartz and Serenity, pale baby pink and blue. Pantone’s color of the year choices are supposed to be symbolic or representative of the times as well as colors that are being favored by …
I didn’t get around to doing an empties post in October, so now I’m doing a double empties post for October and November. I took photos of all the empty bottles, jars and packets, and now I can’t find the bag with all the empties in it. Good thing I took those photos! And also, …
I haven’t done a Face of the Day (FOTD) post in months so I thought I would do one for a change. So I decided to share my makeup for Thanksgiving Day. I often wear an autumn-inspired outfit and makeup on Thanksgiving, but when pressed for time, I resort to black clothing and that’s what I …
As the gifting and wish list season is getting to be in full swing, I want to make sure you don’t overlook the new 6 pan customizable neutral eyeshadow palette from butterLONDON, the ShadowClutch. Perfect for travel or even keeping in your bag everyday, the super cool bit about it is that you can swap …
Since I’ve been sick for the past couple of weeks and have been on a clear liquid and now a soft white diet, I’m not exactly ready for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I don’t know what I’m going to be able to eat! But I am thankful that I will be finished with most of the medications …
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 …
Time has gotten away from me. I never got a chance to talk about my October ipsy bag, and now here’s November. So I’d like to show them both to you at once. Alter Ego October 2015 I liked how the bag that’s gold on one side and black patent on the other fit the …
Seldom does this happen. But after receiving an email with an announcement ad for the Limited Edition IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Must-Have Eye Set, I immediately had to move on this. Usually I ruminate for ages, but not this time. The original Naturally Pretty Vol. 1 Matte Luxe Transforming Palette (IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Vol. 1 Matte …
I love colored mascara so when I had a chance to try out Youngblood Outrageous Lashes Mineral Lengthening Mascara in new cobalt blue, I jumped. Although one of the “rules” of makeup is that if you have blue eyes, you should avoid blue eye makeup. Well, I beg to differ. Blue eye makeup, especially eyeliner …
I love subscription boxes but I only have experience with a few of them. So I was thrilled when the October Beauty Box 5 arrived in the mail at the end of last week! The theme of the box adopts the famous phrase by famed fashion designer of the 1940s-50s Elsa Schiaparelli, “Think Pink”. It’s …
Amore Matte Lip Creme This fall, Milani came out with what was going to be a limited edition but now – from what I’ve heard – is thankfully a permanent collection, Amore Matte Lip Creme. I managed to get my hands on 5 of the 8 shades. Just this week, I found one of …
I own about 20 different concealers. Truth. I actually counted them not long ago, and I was surprised that I had accumulated so many! But I also found out that there’s now a name for having so many different concealers: a concealer wardrobe! I am definitely on trend. It’s certainly not necessary to have 20 different …
Osmosis Skincare has a unique philosophy. Instead of making skincare and makeup that inflames skin and ages it faster, Dr. Ben Johnson (who’s really cute, BTW!) created a line of skincare and color cosmetics that are actually good for skin and help skin look and act younger. Sign me up for that! Osmosis Skincare products …
I’ve been dying to try Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks for ages and ages. Every time I decide to take the plunge, something comes up – usually a bill that I forgot about. So I was thrilled when I received a package from YSL Beauty and Influenster with two stunning lipsticks from the YSL Rouge Pur …
