Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
After slightly missing my mark for 2021, I have started off 2022’s Project Pan with a bang. Lots of empties of all sizes and in all beauty categories. (Ignore the Vegamour jar. It was from November, but I was saving the useful glass jar. When I discovered it, it was too late to take the …
What’s your weather like? Are you snowed in on the East Coast (which gives you plenty of time to enter these giveaways) or freezing cold in the Northwest (also time to enter while you are huddling away from the cold)? Even on the west coast temperatures are having a temper tantrum. But let the fun …
We’re expecting the snow to start to fly within the next few minutes. The “bomb cyclone” or big nor’easter may drop between 12-30+ inches of snow within the next 24 hours. And the winds are supposed to be gale force. My plow guy charges $65 each time he plows the driveway, and he supposedly comes …
I know this is a beauty blog, but every now and then, I really like writing about something different. Like cooking! You may remember that a couple of years ago, at the start of the pandemic, I signed up with Misfits Market, a subscription delivery service that focused on misshapen organic fruits and veggies. I’m …
PR Sample I was invited to try out Sasy n Savy, a luxury Australian line of organic skincare that’s new to the US. What I was most excited about is that they were willing to send me their Nourish Facial Pack that contains 6 of their products in a smaller size. This way I’m …
Although I didn’t wear a ton of makeup in 2021, I nevertheless did some makeup shopping and ended up with a number of favorites. I Bought This, Affiliate Links While I did buy a few eye palettes in 2021, two I bought at the end of December and haven’t tried out yet. Truth be told, …
Vitamin C infused skincare is a regular part of my daytime skincare regimen, and it has been for years. While Vitamin C can’t get rid of the true sun damage that I have on the left side of my face, it has succeeded in making my cute freckles disappear, lol. And it definitely makes my …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links, Informational Link Per usual, I fell for another ad on Facebook. And per usual, I read it too quickly to get all the details. Il Makiage, a brand I like, was running an ad on FB that I thought was offering free samples of their new-ish medium to full-coverage but …
This weekend, Marcia and I mixed things up with regard to the Beauty Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup and her fabulous Sunday Scoop. Because so many of the giveaways were ending on Sunday this week, Marcia wanted to post it on Saturday to give everyone a chance to enter before it was too late. So we …
Today is Saturday which makes it seem funny that I’m publishing the Sunday Scoop a day early but when I started to write up the giveaways they just kept coming for January 31st. I wanted to give you all extra time to enter these incredible giveaways so here we are a day early. Any more …
I Bought This Maybelline‘s newest mascara campaign is all about The Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara. There are several variations of it and I bought the original. The ads are pretty amazing.

I Bought This, Affiliate Links Because I now subscribe to Ipsy Plus every other month, I occasionally forget to sign into my account on the second day of the month I’m getting a bag to choose the items that I want to receive. I remembered on New Year’s Day, but that was a day too …
PR samples, Purchased items When Allison suggested we each pick 5 skincare favorites from 2021 I expected trouble since I’d used so many wonderful products. But I walked in my bathroom and there out on my counter were the ones I use all the time. These are either new favorites or ones that have remained …
Before we get too deep into 2022, Marcia and I thought we would share our favorite facial skincare products that we first tried in 2021. Rather than overwhelm you, we’re each limiting our list to our top 5 faves from the past year even though it’s tough to settle on just a few. There seem …
As usual, I told myself no more shopping. But the ad for 50% off at Ann Taylor turned my head. And they carry petite sizes. So I couldn’t resist the sparkly sequined Pewter top with three-quarter sleeves (the website erroneously calls it “long sleeved” though it clearly isn’t). The color is great, kind of a …
