Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Six or seven years ago I’m guessing, I bought an Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Eyeliner pencil in a medium gray shade called Graphite. I loved this shade because it was dark enough but not black, and it looked good with my blue-gray eyes. It was a traditional wooden pencil that I have to sharpen. …
Jeff and I had a whirlwind long weekend in Philadelphia. The weather was warm and perfect for walking. As usual, Jeff and I did lots of stuff. We saw the first post office in the U.S. that was started by Benjamin Franklin, and several beautiful federal-style attached buildings where Franklin had an office and a …
I have always wanted to go to The Barnes Foundation, a collection of post-Impressionist art collected by a rather eccentric physician, Dr. Albert C. Barnes. After Dr. Barnes’ death in 1951, the trust he created stated that the collection must stay exactly as it was when he was alive. The works were idiosyncratically arranged by …
Ipsy made a couple of changes to their Plus box. First, they allow you to choose one of your products now. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll bother next month. I don’t like to know what the products are in advance. Plus I’m not 100% sure, but I think the products that I was …
I just realized that I wrote about the Luster Premium White 2 Minute White kit here in May 2016, but the packaging has changed and the way I use it has changed a bit too. My original post has all the details, so check it out. Here’s what the 2 Minute White teeth whitening kit …
Hello beauty fans! We had a big wind and rain storm on Wednesday night and Thursday. In addition to losing my electricity, landline phone, internet and cable, one of my three lovely Bradford pear trees lost a huge limb that represents about half the tree. Fortunately, it didn’t fall on my house. But it weighs …
I know I’ve mentioned a couple of times that in early June I got my thumb stuck in a folding outdoor chair. It was incredibly painful. And because I was home alone, I had to figure out how to get my thumb unstuck without breaking my thumb. I managed to get it out, but I …
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and pink is everywhere. While most women are already “aware” of breast cancer, I think of this month as an opportunity to remember my dear dad who died from breast cancer years ago, make sure my mammogram appointment is up to date as well as to donate to the …
What goes around comes around, and it’s my turn again to host this week’s edition of Fashion Flash, the fabulous online lifestyle, health and wellness, style, travel, beauty, and mid-life magazine targeted to women over 40! I’m always amazed at how well Deb, our fearless leader, has succeeded in achieving her vision for this unique …
Technically, this is the relaunch of new City Beauty Blue Defense Hydrogel. When it was launched in August, it sold out in days, but tomorrow – Monday, October 14 – it will be back again on the City Beauty website, and I have a coupon code for 20% off for the next couple of days …
I’m sure it feels like I just published the latest edition of Beauty Spotlight Team and Fashion Flash especially since I didn’t post much this week because of my bad cold. But here we are again! If you’ve got a moment during the long weekend in the U.S. or during the normal weekend elsewhere, take …
I’m a day late and a dollar short. When I wrote this yesterday – Thursday – it was National Handbag Day. So I thought I’d share my handbag bargain for Fall that I scored at Macy’s last week. When I was in the store the week before, I strolled through the bag department, and my …
If you’ve wondered where I’ve been this week, boy, was I sick! My garden variety cold turned at least 10 times worse after I had my annual physical on Monday. My doctor suggested that I wait on my flu shot, but for some reason she recommended that I get a pneumonia shot. Four hours later, …
I don’t think I’ve done a current favorites post in ages, so why not now? As always, there are many terrific beauty products out there, and favorites are very personal, but what the heck! I started out thinking I was going to do a general favorites post, but it was getting too long, so here …
Well, it’s a rather short list of posts this weekend. But still some goodies, so take a look. BTW, if you haven’t entered my new giveaway of a trio of anti-acne skincare products from Derma E, please enter! They’d be great, if not for yourself, for a friend or family member. Derma E is a …
