Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I’ve been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for a couple of weeks now, and I thought it was time to give my feedback. In case you are new to micellar water, it is a lightweight product that you can use to cleanse your face and remove your makeup. Some women use micellar water instead of …
Lash serums have been big news over the past several years. While I was given the opportunity to try some of them out, I passed because I was concerned about irritating my already sensitive and finicky eyes and eyelids. But over the past few years, my blonde invisible lashes started to get sparser and more …
I am tough customer when it comes to teeth whitening. I have extremely sensitive teeth, a small mouth and a terrible gag reflex. Last summer, I tried to use a teeth whitening kit that required me to make a custom-fitted tray. Well, the tray wouldn’t fit in my tiny mouth. And the white strips sold …
I’ve mentioned a number of times that I am a fine soap lover. I can’t get enough. I love the way they look, the way they smell, the natural ingredients, and the special care with which they’re made. I use them in the shower, to wash my hands and occasionally on my face. Because I …

I’ve just come back from our vacation in Arizona, but I’m not quite back in the swing of things yet. We had a great time, and I’d love to share a few more pix, especially of gorgeous Sedona. But I’d like to submit a quick post announcing the winner of the Lorac Riesling Romance Eyeshadow …
About a year ago, I saw a collection of makeup from Paul & Joe on several blogs. Each item featured jungle animals, I believe – one of the cutest collections ever. The brand has been on my mind since. Last week, I received an adorable white plastic compact in a silky drawstring bag featuring …
I’m a big fan of Lorac eye shadow palettes. So my sole purchase during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty was the Lorac Riesling Romance Eye Shadow Palette. This pretty and portable limited edition palette came out in late November 2015 and was the Cyber Monday special at Ulta. I missed it then and didn’t want …
I’m officially proclaiming 2016 the Year of Haircare Products! I have been discovering so many new and fabulous hair products this year, I’m blown away. The products that have been impressing me most are leave-in serums, the kind of product I never would have even considered a couple of years ago. I always thought that …
I have a number of favorite mascaras, and I usually prefer a smallish wand with plastic teeth. So when I received PUR Fully Charged Mascara, I was dubious. PUR Fully Charged got its name because it uses magnetic technology to create dramatic lashes. The folks at PUR say that the mascara’s “magnetic polymer matrix veils the …
I know you’ve heard it from me about a million times: cream blush is my favorite. For my dry skin, cream is the best. Also, I love that I can apply it with my fingers. I had been eyeing Youngblood Luminous Creme Blush. Luckily, I received it to try out. A couple of months ago, I reviewed …
A few months ago, I reviewed Rimmel ScandalEyes Gel Eyeliner (here) that I picked up when I was in the mood to try a gel eyeliner. It was relatively easy to apply, but my wing disappeared not long after I applied the liner. A number of readers suggested that I try L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner …
I admit it. I am challenged when it comes to doing a neat manicure. I’m getting better, but I’m far from perfect. I’ve got a shaky hand especially when I have to use my right hand, my non-dominant hand. That’s why I can’t do fancy nail art. Enter Liquid Palisade Liquid Nail Tape. Liquid Palisade Liquid …
There’s a new trend in cleansers that I absolutely love: cleansers that are gentle and that remove makeup. One of my top tier skincare brands, Exuviance, has gotten on the bandwagon with new Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme. Yay! I received a full sized tube from Brandbacker to try out in exchange for an honest review. …
