Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I know I keep doing this – I keep coming up with more little gift and stocking stuffer ideas, but I can’t help it 😉 Especially when they’re great products and on sale! Back in September, I reviewed the new MyChelle Lip Hints that I received in a lovely Sheer shade (reviewed here). Since then, …
About a month or so ago, I panned Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blush (reviewed here). I had been on the hunt for the Butter Highlighter, but couldn’t find it and thought that the two would be close to equivalent. No way. In spite of my experience with the Butter Blush, I found the Physicians Formula …
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about two new foundations, one from Fenty and the other from Huda Beauty. Fenty doesn’t seem to have a good color match for me, and I’m not sure the formula is right for my dry skin anyway. Plus the shades that might be close to my skin tone …
I am participating in a campaign for L’ORÉAL USA. I am receiving a fee for posting; however, the opinions expressed in this post are my own. I am in no way affiliated with L’ORÉAL USA and do not earn a commission or percent of sales. Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Delicious food, wonderful company, …
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have really, really dry lips, and though I can use “normal” lip balms during the summer, when the cold weather hits, Dr. Lipp Miracle Balm and Hanalei Lip Treatment work best for me (reviewed here and here). So before I …
Masks are so popular these days. Many of us have a variety of masks in our skincare arsenals. Not surprisingly, I have several types of masks that I choose depending on my particular skincare need and my mood. Recently, I received a natural, organic and vegan clay mask from Surya Brasil: Amazonia Preciosa Clay Mask, …
You’d think by this stage of the game I would have outgrown glitter and sparkles, but as John Belushi used to say (that’s how old I am), “but no-oh” I still want all the sparkles! The SA at Sephora who was helping me during the VIB sale was wearing a gorgeous purple glitter liner that …
“Ultimune”, what in heaven’s name does that mean? Hmm. It’s probably a combo of ultimate and “immune”. Immune from wrinkles, maybe? Anyway, I am almost finished with a tube of Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream that I reviewed a long time ago (here). Since I wrote the initial review ages ago, I have come to …
Years ago, I wore nothing but coral lipstick. Though I’ve branched out to nudes, mauves and reds, corals still play a big role in my extensive lipstick collection. I recently added two more. Even if coral isn’t your thang, you might still find the info about the lipstick formulas of interest. FACE atelier Lipstick …
Gimme all the hydration for my skin! I saw Vichy Mineral 89 Daily Skin Booster on a number of bloggers’ sites, and what first attracted me was the bottle. The thick glass ombre bottle looks like water, and the upside down V shape is so unique and modern. I couldn’t pass it by. Vichy Mineral …
I love face oils especially at this time of year when the temperatures dip. And they finally dipped on Tuesday night north of Boston. We had our first freeze. Several weeks ago, I received a relaunched and reformulated version of the popular Amalie Beauty anti-aging face oil: Rewind Face Oil, based on the idea of turning …
You may know Derma E for first rate, natural and affordable facial skincare. I recently wrote about their lovely Nourishing Rose Cleansing Oil and Microdermabrasion Scrub not long ago. Well, Derma E is more than facial skincare! They also make “therapeutic topicals”, skincare products to address a variety of skin conditions and to help create healthy skin. I …
I’ve been at Jeff’s for about a week so far helping him after his hip replacement surgery. Now that he can use only one crutch, he’s more self-sufficient but he’s still not quite back to his old self yet. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a dishwasher. I grew up without a dishwasher, and my longtime New …
When I was offered NeoCell Ceramides Skin Hydrator to try out, I don’t think I knew that it was a bottle of supplements (though I have tried other supplements from NeoCell before). But when they arrived, I was happy to receive a bottle of skincare capsules rather than another skincare serum or cream to try. …
I’ve been seeing a lot reviews for various Physicians Formula Butter products lately. Because I’m a fan of cream-to-powders or creamy powders, I wanted to try it. I had a $5 off coupon at Ulta, so I decided to give it a go. At Ulta, just like at CVS, there was a very small selection …
