Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
On Friday, Estée Lauder was holding an event at my local Macy’s called “Picture Me Online”. A couple of weeks ago, I made an appointment to participate. I wasn’t sure what the event was all about, I just knew that I would be able to get my makeup done by one of their makeup artists. …
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 …
Over the past few months, I have had an opportunity to try a few products from Ageless Derma, a premium skincare brand from California that was created by a physician for use in his medical spa. The products are based on science and nature, and they include many natural ingredients. I have liked the products …
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 …
I’ve been posting announcements of Estée Lauder gifts with purchase at various department stores for months now. Guess it’s about time that I reviewed some of the Estée Lauder products! Let’s start today with Estée Lauder Advanced Time Zone Age-Reversing Line/Wrinkle Creme SPF 15. I received this deluxe sample, called “a 14 day supply”, a …
Rose gold has been my favorite type of gold for many years. When I lived in New York, I spent a lot of time in the Diamond District on West 47 St. I worked nearby, and I just loved to look at the jewelry. Rose gold from the 1940s showed up from time to time …
Over the past several months, I’ve had the good fortune to try out a number of bath and body products from Perlier, the upscale Italian brand. The products were provided by iFabbo, the beauty blogger resource. …
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 …
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 …
Nails are super-hot this year. Nail polish is flying off the shelves. Nail art, nail polish with additives, matte as well as high-gloss are all in style. And women and girls of all ages are taking part in the trend. I was at CVS earlier this week waiting for a prescription to be filled, so …
