Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Today, I’m doing brief reviews on three products that, unfortunately, didn’t work for me. My opinion, but I thought I’d share. Porcelana Night Skin Lightening Cream Oldies but goodies, in beauty brands, always attract my attention because I believe they have withstood the test of time. I remember Porcelana commercials from when I was …
I like to stockpile ideas for crafts to make during those snowy winter days when I don’t feel like leaving the house. Although autumn has just started, I know those wintry days will be here eventually. So I found an idea that I definitely will try in the months to come. Even though I haven’t …
Recently, I returned a bottle of unopened Estée Lauder Resilience Lift liquid foundation. What was I thinking when I bought it? BB creams have me so spoiled. I hate having to apply primer and sunscreen (although this may have had sunscreen in it, not sure). And I find liquid foundation so much harder to apply. …
This is the third month that I’ve been a subscriber to ipsy, a monthly service that provides a “customized” bag of beauty goodies for $10. The items are chosen for each subscriber from a list of about 10 items based on her responses to an online questionnaire.The bag has a different theme each month, but …
Never Say Die Beauty’s review of the Perlier Thermal Spa Scrub got the blog chosen as one of the iFabbo Bloggers of the Week (iFabbo is a great resource for beauty and fashion bloggers). I really liked the Perlier Scrub and I also loved the Perlier Shower Creams and Body Lotions, too. No exaggeration! But …
essence, my affordable but great quality fave, has come out with a new long-lasting lipstick line in a sophisticated new look: a matte black case with a thin colorband just below the middle that shows the shade inside. The lipstick bullet is embossed with the essence logo “e”. I love the new look! Unfortunately, the …
Last winter, I did a post about how to look more awake with white eyeliner. Some women may find that look a little jarring, but I really like it. If it’s too much for you, try the white pencil on the upper and lower waterline (the wet part of the upper and lower inside …
I’ve been dragging my feet for months about writing this review. I bought CoverGirl’s Clump Crusher about a year ago when it was new-ish. It was one of the Allure Best of Beauty products for 2012. I had heard a lot about it not clumping. And the good news is IT DOES NOT CLUMP, and …
Well, the major cosmetics brands are doing their early fall promotions. So, if you missed one, you can take advantage of the next one, it seems. And you can choose which bags best suit your style. Estée Lauder has a new gift with purchase at Macy’s. The bag is a fun mix of dots and …
Bloomingdale’s is currently offering a new gift with purchase at the Clinique counter. Clinique has teamed up with Jena Menard, global color artist, to create the cutest color block cosmetics bags in two adorable bright color schemes that extend the summer feeling all year round. The pink bag has a purple back, and the green …
Browsing in CVS with Extrabucks in hand back in the early spring, I saw Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Foundation on sale. As a brand, Physicians Formula intrigues me. They have cute blushes and bronzers with beads or embossed pans that really get my attention. They have an organic mascara. The Youthful Wear Foundation caught me because …
I must have been loyal to Maybelline Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover for almost 20 years. That’s a looooong time. And I still think it’s a good product. But it’s a small container, and I found myself needing to replace it all the time. Also, in spite of the fact that it was oil-free, it always …
Two cosmetics manufacturers, essence and Kiss Nails, were kind enough to donate products for giveaways on Never Say Die Beauty. Woo hoo! Everyone’s busy with getting kids ready to go back to school, with plans for Labor Day weekend, and other late summer events. So I’m going to wait till things get back to normal …
The Wonder Pencil is incredibly hard to come by. Ulta told me they get their weekly delivery from NYX on Mondays. They suggested I stop by or call on Monday afternoons to see if they were back in stock. This went on for 4 months. I finally scored my Wonder Pencil last week. What …
The teenagers I interviewed this spring were in love with all things Maybelline, but especially Maybelline mascara. The Colossal Volume Express in the yellow tube was one of the ones they talked about the most. (Maybelline has a whole line of Volume Express mascaras with different wands and formulas.) So, when I had some CVS …
