Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Just a quick update on my Black Friday Week shopping (see yesterday’s post for the sale list). Over the past couple of days, I managed to get all of the items on my Black Friday wish list on sale. I have just one more thing to pick up: City Lips, and that is it! It …
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of makeup and beauty sales, many of which have already started. Because this has been such a tough year for the beauty industry, there have been sales just about all year. I wondered whether the Black Friday sales would be even more substantial this year. From what I’ve …
For the past few years, I’ve been writing about my favorite eye gel from Belif that I had been using almost religiously. But when it was unavailable in the U.S. for several months last winter, it gave me the opportunity to try some new eye creams. And I am glad that I did. City Beauty …
The holidays are not that far away. In fact, Costco has been selling decorated, illuminated Christmas trees for a month already. So, while I was shopping there today for a couple of things I needed, I picked up a couple of potential gifts as well as a pair of jogging tights for myself. While I …
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 …

Starting with the August Plus bag that I received a few days ago, Ipsy has made some changes to how the bag is put together. First thing, they got rid of the cardboard box that it arrived in and substituted a large padded envelope. Because I was able to recycle the cardboard box, I preferred …
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 …
Is it just me, or does it seem like there are a lot more sales on beauty products as we go through this trying year? I don’t think that people are shopping as much as in a normal year, so retailers are finding that a little incentive helps. Here aresales from three skincare brands that …
I didn’t realize that Friday, July 3 was the official holiday this year, as in a day off from work for those who are working. Nice. I hope you have a fun but safe and healthy Fourth of July weekend, this strange year 2020. We usually watch fireworks on July 3 and then go to …
When I first started my blog more than 5 years ago, my friend Nancy who was always a beauty maven asked me about City Lips. She had seen something about it on TV, and she asked my opinion. I was embarrassed to say I wasn’t familiar with it, but I told her I would check …
I haven’t been buying much when it comes to beauty products lately, but every now and then I see something that I need or that’s a great price. Last week, I ordered another Melt Metal Lipgloss for $5, and yesterday I placed an order with one of my favorite bath and body brands, RITUALS, for …
Hi friends, hope you’re hanging in there and finding things to keep you occupied at or near home! Last night when I was preparing a salad to go with my dinner, I managed to take part of my index finger on my left (dominant) hand off. It bled for hours, and I probably could have …
First, you may have gotten an email from Sephora announcing that they are closing their physical stores to help protect their employees and prevent the spread of the Covid-19. I think they are doing the right thing. Last night, I noticed that on their website Ulta announced that they will be closing their stores on …

My favorite hydrating and plumping lip products, City Lips and City Lips Matte, are having a ONE DAY SALE to celebrate! If you purchase 2 or more City Lips and/or City Lips Matte in any combination of type and color today, …
