Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
For about a year or so, I read about Micellar Water mostly from women who lived in Canada or Europe or Asia. Although Micellar Water was available in the U.S., it was harder and more expensive to come by. Not so any longer. Micellar Water can be had in the drugstore now in the U.S. …
I have been wanting to try Rodan + Fields Skincare for the longest time. Just in case you’re not familiar with it, Rodan + Fields line of skincare products was developed by Stanford-trained dermatologists, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields. I am grateful to the blogging group, iFabbo, for making it happen now! I received the Rodan + Fields …
Back in the late fall, I entered a giveaway on fabulous blogger and subscription box addict, Renu’s blog, My Beauty Junction. And to my surprise, I was one of the winners. I won points to use on Memebox, a leading Korean beauty retailer that sells curated skincare and makeup boxes. Korea is known for high …
I’m a fan of Gabriel Organics. Last year, I reviewed one of the lipsticks and the fabulous Zuzu Luxe Peepshow Palette that amped up my holiday looks! I love the fact that I can use their wonderful makeup products without any concerns. So I was happy that they sent me one of their skincare products to …
About a week ago, I received a deluxe sample of NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy. Last summer, I tried NeoStrata’s Exuviance Illumination Set, part of the brightening/even tone line of products. I liked the moisturizer and vitamin C powder and was impressed by the fact that the founding scientists discovered the role that glycolic acid can play …
Middle of the month means ipsy time, and I got my February Valentine’s #ipsyLove bag. The bag itself is pretty cute. It’s made out of a synthetic fabric that reminds me a little of old-fashioned oilcloth in that it’s somewhat stiff, holds its shape and won’t get dirty. It’s a raspberry pink to celebrate the …
The awards season is upon us, and the Oscars are Sunday night! I’ve always wanted to be invited to an Oscar party, and maybe this year I’ll luck out. Just in case, I will want to be ready, and that means having my skin look its best. Asian skincare is my favorite. Japanese and Korean …
Brandbacker, a blogger association, recently introduced me to Pura D’Or, a wonderful brand of organic haircare and skincare products, and I’m so glad they did. Pura D’Or Hair Loss Prevention Organic Shampoo & Conditioner I have lots of thick, coarse hair, but that doesn’t seem to stop me from noticing a lot of it …
This winter in the Boston area is one for the record books. We have gotten an unprecedented amount of snow in a very short time, well over five feet. And we’re expecting more snow on Thursday and another blizzard during the weekend. The trouble is there’s no room to put it. Even in a wooded area …

A few months ago, I was sent ChiaDerm Serum and Balm to try out and review. It was late autumn, I think, when I received them, and I put them aside while I was finishing up with other skincare products. Little did I know how important these two skincare products would become for me once …
This week in the Boston area featured “snowmageddon”. And where I live on the North Shore, the weatherman was right on target. We got about 3 feet of snow and high winds that knocked the power out…again. Fortunately, my friend Sue came to my rescue once her long driveway was plowed and brought me over …
The month just seems to be rolling on, and we’re almost at the end of January. Two months till Spring! But this time of the month usually means ipsy time for me. And I received my January 2015 ipsy glam bag mid-month, a little early, yay! The theme is Fresh Start which makes sense for a …
Diva D’Or Derma Roller is a skincare tool, a handle with a rolling head that holds 540 titanium micro-needles 1.0 mm in length. When I was given the opportunity to try the Diva D’Or Derma Roller, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through with it. I was the kid who hid in the bushes when …
What, another one, you say! Well, yes. I love serums, especially serums with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. So I take advantage of almost every opportunity to try a new one. This time, I’ve been testing Naturalico Vitamin C 20% Serum by Bella Naturals that I received from the blogger association, Tomoson, for review. …
