Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I just got back from my southern travels yesterday. It was spring in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington DC. In Massachusetts, it was 32 degrees. I heard I missed the warm weather in MA, but it sure was hot in Asheville where it was 80! The cherry blossoms in DC were lovely with peak …
I am so sorry because the City Lips two for one sale is almost over. It happened while I was on vacation, and I thought it went from 3/23-3/26. Silly me! If you are still up and thinking of ordering, check it out the City Lips Sale here. Again, a million apologies!!
Gee, we just got back from LA, and we’re heading off again! Frankly, we hadn’t planned it this way, but this is how it worked out. We had planned this trip a while ago. We’re going to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Jeff’s granddaughter! And after that, we’re going to drive to Washington DC to …
OK, so I never pulled the plug on Ipsy. I am still an every other month subscriber. I couldn’t give up those pricey skincare items that still come my way either in my semi-monthly box or as a deeply discounted “add-on”. I haven’t reviewed any of my boxes in the longest time. Not sure why. …
It’s not even spring quite yet, but I am already thinking about preparing for the beach. Or for spending more time outdoors. At CVS recently, I was looking for something I could buy with the $10 off coupon I got last time I shopped there. The front and center display of Sun Bum products caught …
So many people hate changing the clocks, but for Daylight Savings Time I’m there for it! Big time. I remember those weeks of it getting dark at 4pm. Seven o’clock sunset on Sunday is just the antidote. I know we all lose an hour, but please check out this week’s Beauty Spotlight Team when you …
Back in October during my trip to London with Jeff, one of the things on my to do-list was to buy a lipstick from Lisa Eldridge, famed makeup artist to the stars as well as the new Creative Director at Lancome. I’m not sure how she pulls off the Lancome gig while heading her own …
Winter is usually a tough time for my nails. They tend to grow very slowly during the cold weather, and they look and actually are brittle, more fragile and definitely thinner. Their winter condition has definitely gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. Ugh. So often, I will accidentally hit my hand on something, and one …
It seemed to me like January lasted forever, but February was over in a flash even with Leap Day today! So we’re at the end of the month already, and I spent more than a week away from home. How did I do using up beauty products in February? Project Pan February ’24 Bath & …
We’re ready for a rainy weekend to welcome March. In the Boston area, it either snows or rains for most of this month. But we’re in meteorological spring as of yesterday, and actual spring is less than 3 weeks away, so it can’t be all bad. Jeff and I are going to a global music …
Happy First Day of March! Spring is around the corner, St. Patrick’s Day is March 17, and the month of March is City Beauty’s Birthday Month. City Beauty celebrates its birthday with sales on its key products! The first sale up starts today and tomorrow only (3/1-3/2) with 40% off on City Lips Night Oil …
Jeff and I are back from Los Angeles. We had a stressful trip, but I think we managed to help Jeff’s sister get home from the hospital and re-settled in her second floor apartment after surgery and hospitalization for a couple of weeks. She is using a walker to get around after her spine surgery, …
In case anyone wonders why you’re not getting daily posts from me this coming week, I am going to LA with Jeff to help his sister who has been in the hospital after having emergency surgery. Wish us decent weather for flying since LA is supposed to have another flood over the next three days. …
This weekend, Beauty Spotlight Team has our whole gang participating including Pamela from Style Yourself Confident, our international member, who made the cool logo pic below. The topics have shifted this week with an emphasis on style, though a couple of us have stuck with beauty. Take a look and see what’s new! Westman Atelier …
Lately, I have been trying haircare products from IGK. Today, I thought I would tell you about one of them, Good Behavior Smoothing Spray. I needed to buy an affordable product in order to qualify for free shipping at Ulta. So what else is new, you’re thinking! That’s often how I discover new products. IGK …
Relaunched and Reformulated from City Beauty When I used to be asked which were my favorite products from City Beauty, I always included Multi-Action Sculpting Cream. I really liked using it along my jawline and on my neck. In fact, I was really surprised when I learned that Multi-Action Sculpting Cream was being reformulated and …
If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with whoever is important to you or on your own, I wish you a happy heart day! Valentine’s Day can be a strange celebration since not everyone feels included. Celebrate Galentine’s Day with a friend today instead of yesterday. Even when I was acknowledging the day on my own, …
Two makeup brands that I like have just launched some new shades. I haven’t tried these particular shades yet, but since II have tried other shades in their mascara and gel liner collections, I have a sneaking suspicion the new addition will be good ones to try for a little change of pace. Thrive Causemetics …
Ah, the first empties post of the new year. So many possibilities, lol. Let’s hope I make my goal this year. Skincare Innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Toner: This lovely, gentle toner lasted me a long time. I think I bought it in May. It left my skin cleansed and hydrated. Recommend? Yes, absolutely. I …
This pre-Valentine’s weekend Beauty Spotlight Team roundup is short and sweet, lol. We may go to a winter festival in Salem MA, “Salem So Sweet”, and check out the ice sculptures that will probably be melting in the unseasonably warm weather on Saturday! Or else maybe we’ll go to the movies. Sunday night, we’ll definitely …
