Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
A few months ago, I posted about my spring/summer Target Beauty Box. Recently, I found out that Target was offering two more beauty boxes for Fall 2015, each $5 including delivery. I chose the Honor Roll box. You have to act fast to score a Target Beauty Box because they sell out very fast. The box …
This month’s ipsy bag arrived this afternoon, Summer Lovin’. The makeup bag is cotton with an attractive, bright ikat print. So what did I get? Here are the goods: Tarte Park Ave Princess Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer, 0.11 oz./3.0 g, deluxe sample: I’m a big fan of Tarte so it’s great to get something from …
First, congratulations to Leigh, the winner of the Coui Skincare UV Facial Sunscreen! I believe that Leigh lives in Florida so she’ll get a lot of use out of the sunscreen. Thank you all who entered and don’t give up. I’ve got at least two more giveaways coming up as soon as I can write …
I’ve begun measuring time in ipsy bags. And now another month has gone by, and we’re up to the June 2015 ipsy bag: Swim Into Beauty. It is a dreary day today, and I had some time on my hands so I decided to do an unboxing video. I haven’t done one in a few …
It was the post office’s fault that my May 2015 ipsy bag got delivered first to a city 30 miles from where I live, next to my local post office (2 miles from my house) where it was sorted, then sent on to the Boston post office where it was sorted again and finally returned to the …
Although this was a good month, I think I’m most excited about the makeup bag itself because it is so different from any of the bags I’ve received from ipsy so far. It’s woven raffia, and it fits well with this month’s theme, Beautifully Bohemian. It does look like something from the ’60s. I also …
I’ve begun measuring time in ipsy bags. I can’t believe another one is already here! And a spring-y one it is: Floral Fantasy in a pretty floral bag with painterly flowers against a cerulean blue background. Spring is supposed to start in a couple of days, and though it’s far from spring around here, I can dream …
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 …
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 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 …
Somehow with everything going on this December, my most recent ipsy bag, Fearless Heroine, got lost in my attention. So before we get too deep into January, here it is. The bag itself is definitely understated: a black, satiny dop kit shape with a burgundy zipper and heart-shaped ipsy zipper pull. I collect heart-shaped stuff, …
Gee, the months just fly by. It’s ipsy time again! I’m having a good streak. I like everything I received this month in my November “Girl Meets Glitter” glam bag. The sparkly silver bag alone was enough for me, lol. But even though I didn’t get the prestige brands Calvin Klein or Laura Mercier …
ipsy completely surprised me this month. Why? They delivered my ipsy bag early, like the earliest I’ve ever gotten it. They sent me a notification yesterday saying the bag had shipped. I didn’t even bother to look at the tracking info since it usually takes a week from that point to get delivered. Well, yahoo! …
Although September is over, I wanted to show you the September Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag of minis. For months now, I have been drooling over the Rainbow Honey Mystery Bags that I’ve seen other beauty bloggers review. Finally, when I saw the mini heart-shaped soap and beautiful nail polishes in the September bag, I broke …
Sometimes I carp about an item or two or three in my monthly ipsy bag, but this month ipsy hit it out of the park. Score! I liked and will use everything in the bag. Woohoo! The September bag was called “Street Style”, and I think it was supposed to be in tune with New …
