Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Hope you had a good week. It really flew by, didn’t it? Today, it’s supposed to be almost 60 degrees, and I’m very excited about that. I’d like to do some work in my garden and yard. There’s a lot of raking to do. Surprisingly, a lot of foliage on my early perennials is already …
I was probably the only woman in the world who had never owned a Kate Spade bag (I do have a wallet though). Even though she had sold the company well before she died, I felt like I needed one of the KS bags. When I got an email from the Kate Spade website announcing …
 You probably remember me raving about PRAI Throat & Decolletage Cream, and if you didn’t remember the brand name, I’m sure you remember the gorgeous, blingy packaging! Isn’t that a beauty! I love the lightweight, fluffy Throat & Decolletage Cream. I use it in the morning and at bedtime. Even though it is lightweight, …
Yesterday was a busy but fun gardening-oriented day for me. My friend Sue and I visited three plant nurseries and picked up some items for our gardens and indoor plants. We also got to visit the chicks and young chickens that were for sale at a couple of the nurseries. Then in the evening, we …
I really look forward every month to my Ipsy Glam Plus box with 5 full size products. I have made some great discoveries from my boxes since I signed up last fall. Importantly, the value is definitely there with each of the boxes being worth well over $100. This past month, Ipsy sent an email …
Liquid matte lipstick and I usually don’t mesh, or so I thought. City Lips Matte has been a game changer for me, although when I first received two new liquid matte plumping lipsticks, I thought uh-oh. City Lips Matte Lipstick is touted as a non-drying matte liquid lipstick that provides some plumping to lips. Frankly, …
It’s the weekend again, and time for the weekly roundup from the Beauty Spotlight Team! The group has grown, and there’s a lot to read. Take a look and enjoy! Are you struggling to figure out how to take all your preferred skincare items and a makeup routine with you while traveling? Check out Jen’s …
Last month, I showed you one of my first polish purchases from Australian indie brand, Glam Polish, Heffalumps and Woozles (reviewed and swatched here) from the Hundred Acre Wood collection that came out in February, I think. It is a sweet glitter-filled off-white polish. It reminds me of a confetti-filled angel food cake. Cute. Perfect …
I’m trying to remember what I used to wash my face before I became a blogger. Truth be told, I think I used Dove Beauty Bar for many years. Unilever was my client for a long time, both when I worked in advertising for Ogilvy in New York and after I started my own market …
After the curious and well-informed Rach gave me the info I had been missing about the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty update and I finally went to the website myself, I figured I better update my Ulta 21 Days of Beauty post and also give you a head’s up in a new bit of news. …
I save many of the boxes that PR samples and some of my purchases come in, and I reuse them when I send out giveaway prizes. The ones that didn’t completely survive delivery or that have logos on the outside I recycle. As you can imagine, I’ve got a lot of boxes. I always try …
St. Patrick’s Day was yesterday, but I haven’t done a makeup look in ages so I thought I’d show you my “wearin’ o’ the green”, though in the photo the green shades look more grey than they did in person. Actually, I had planned to break out my Huda Obsessions Emerald palette, but I picked …
You don’t have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, right? I like to think of St. Patrick’s Day as the harbinger of the greening of my yard and the start of spring. Today, I noticed that my white hellebore was in bloom. My green hellebore is still covered with snow. But hopefully soon, …
I could have sworn that Ulta Beauty’s Spring 21 Days of Beauty always started in April. Am I wrong about that? Well whatever, this year’s 21 Days starts on Sunday, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day and runs for three weeks through Saturday, April 6. During 21 Days of Beauty, each day there are two or …
If you’ve been shopping for pants and jeans lately, you probably already know about this. But if like me, you haven’t been shopping in a while, this might be a surprise. A few weeks ago, Courtney from Phyrra.net who has been posting a lot of fashion lately posted some pix of herself wearing terrific black …
