Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
So why would I review a product that I don’t own a full size tube of? Because it’s that good! I’m a big fan of First Aid Beauty. In fact, I’m starting on a big full size tube of FAB Pure Skin Face Cleanser now after having used several travel size tubes from my …
For the past few months, I had been slathering my feet every night with shea butter and other balms and putting on sleep socks to try to keep them softer and smoother. I frequently use my Amope Extra Coarse Electronic Foot File (reviewed here) to file off dry skin. But in spite of this …
In spite of a few glitches, I am really enjoying my upgraded Ipsy Glam Bag Plus subscription with 5 or more full size products for $25. I haven’t posted my January box yet, because one of the makeup items arrived smashed and they are sending me a replacement. Nevertheless, I’ve been very happy with the …
At the end of 2018 during the holiday sales, I bought another box of Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads and a large bottle the Cleansing SPA Water from Lovelyskin.com. They sent me a few sample packets with my purchases, and one of the packets was for StriVectin S.T.A.R. Retinol Light Night Oil. I wasn’t …
You may know that I was devoted to StriVectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream. I have used up about four jars of the original rich and thick cream, one jar of the lighter gel version, and I’m almost done with the StriVectin Neck Serum that’s also a light gel applied with a cooling rollerball. I …
On Sunday, we got less snow than originally forecast, only about 4 inches. But it was heavy wet snow, and then we got sleet and freezing rain on top of it so that it was encased in ice. I shoveled for about two and a half hours, and Jeff helped me, shoveling for two hours. …
Except for facial moisturizers, I’m a fan of all things fragranced. Especially hair care and bath and body products. So when Aveda launched Cherry Almond Softening Shampoo and Conditioner, I was very excited. Years ago, Aveda had a cherry bark product that I loved that disappeared. But before I took the plunge with the new duo, …
I am committed to moving more of the products in my stash in 2019, and what better way to start 2019 than with a giveaway! Especially exciting is a giveaway with 3 lucky winners! RoC Skincare was very generous to send me 3 more jars of RoC Retinol Correxion MAX Daily Hydration Creme, a product …
Several years ago, I bought what I thought was a beautiful peach metallic Revlon liquid eye shadow. I was smitten by the shade. I also thought that a creamy liquid would be great for my dry eyelids. Wrong. Even on top of eye primer, my dry lids were very unhappy: even drier and itchy. Since …
About a month or so ago, I wrote about one of my favorite natural facial moisturizers of the year, Cremeplexion Face Cream from Humboldt Soap Company. What I love most about Cremeplexion is the unique mousse-like consistency that makes it feel as light as a feather on my skin. It is not like any other …
I tried my first Cargo product this summer when I bought a gorgeous red lipstick that came with white powder applied with a sponge tip on the other end of the slim tube to the center of my lips. It gives my lips a great contoured or dimensionalized look. I thought it was quite an …
Today was a busy day. I went to Boston to get my hair re-redded at Vidal Sassoon. It ends up being a whole day affair. Of course, I had to go to Eataly (have you been to Eataly?) to pick up Italian meats for dinner before taking the subway and then the train home. So …
What’s the most difficult beauty task for you? For me, I don’t even have to think for 30 seconds. It’s applying false lashes. I don’t have the greatest eyesight, and I have downturned small-ish eyes, both of which make putting on false lashes even harder. I’ve tried large tweezer-like applicators that are supposed to make …
Farmhouse Fresh launched two standout products this fall. I already introduced you to the delectable FHF Vanilla Bourbon Body Oil, a must-have for all vanilla fans (review here). And now, meet FHF Chocolate Fig Vitamin Recovery Serum! I am not kidding when I say that Chocolate Fig Vitamin Recovery Serum smells unbelievably delicious. No wonder: …
Robin McGraw Revelation OMG Is It Really Me? Instant Face Shaper A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed three facial skincare products from Robin McGraw Revelation (here). I liked both the Eye Cream and the Neck & Decollete Cream (I’m still using both), but the Instant Face Shaper was a fail. It had a weird …
