Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Although I have been preparing for this trip to Great Britain for a long time, I am so unready! Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll have my “stuff” together!! I am trying to pack for cool/cold rainy weather (boo!), but I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised when we arrive. In years gone by, October is often …
About 5 years ago, I was invited to an event at a med spa in Newburyport MA that was hosting the organic luxury makeup brand, Kjaer Weis, and their founder. I was sent home with a few samples that I truly enjoyed trying out. Since then, I have kept an eye on Kjaer Weis. They …
It’s been eons since I used anything from Too Faced. After the founder sold the company and TF started coming out with a new scented eye palette almost every month, I lost interest. Also, the brand became really too juvenile for even this heart lover. But in my last Ipsy/Boxycharm box, I discovered a lipstick …
Last week, I introduced you to Bigger Than Beauty, the sister brand to Thrive Causemetics. In fact, I told you how much I love their total eye area gel-cream, Defying Gravity (reviewed here). Today, I have two lip treatments from BTB to tell you about. Both are: Bigger Than Beauty Lip Treatments Pout Hero Liquid …
The days are certainly getting shorter. The sun sets around 6:30 and rises at about the same time. Right, equal day and night. But autumn is a beautiful season especially in areas where the leaves change color. A few of the maple trees have turned, though not a lot. I heard that the leaves will …
City Lips is launching a new Limited Edition shade of their iconic City Lips Lipgloss just in time for autumn. “Sparkling Cider”, a spicy red-orange translucent lipgloss, has pink shimmer in the light of day. I love the new shade that reminds me of autumn leaves. (Thankfully, our leaves haven’t started changing quite yet.) And …
Bigger Than Beauty is a new sister brand that was created by the people at Thrive Causemetics to accompany Thrive makeup.That immediately got my attention since I’m a fan of Thrive Mascara and Brow Gel, two results-oriented makeup products. Like Thrive, Bigger Than Beauty is also a results-oriented skincare collection. In fact, BTB talks about …
What initially attracted me to new-to-me J’s Natural Beauty skincare products is that it is a clean beauty brand made with natural and organic ingredients. It is vegan, plant based, non-toxic, and of course, cruelty-free. While I don’t only use plant based skincare products, if I have the choice, I prefer to. God’s Gift Day …
I had waist length hair till I was about 25. In fact, it was my trademark for a long time. I had a lot of hair. Stuffing it into a shower cap on those days when I didn’t want to wash it in the shower was tough. Try This An That Extra-Large Shower Cap Recently, …
As you may know, this is one of our big Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashana, the start of the new year. It’s a busy time. Even though it is just Jeff and me this year because my cousin who always hosts a big dinner is away, it’s even busier for me. I’m making everything for our …
If you are a subscriber to NSDB, yesterday you were sent two mailings with the same post (Clutch Pro Phone Charger). But you never received my post from Tuesday about Sand Cloud Turkish Beach Towels. The company that sends out my daily (or mostly daily) post is trying to figure out what went wrong. As …
Our trip to London and Dublin is in less than three weeks, and I have so much to do to get ready. First, I am hoping that the new covid booster will make the last hurdle today, so I can make an appointment ASAP. Jeff got covid either in the airport in Raleigh where we …
Just before Labor Day, I was seduced into buying a new beach towel…because of course, it was on sale. But I ended up absolutely loving it because it ticks so many boxes for me! And why I love it goes back to my last beach towel purchase. Five summers ago, Jeff and I flew to …
I’ve written about the Spongelle bath and body brand several times over the past couple of years. Though they make a variety of fragrant products including room fragrances, Spongelle specializes in body wash infused buffers, i.e. very fragrant bath sponges, on silky strings that allow you hang them dry. This time, I’m writing about Spongelle …
Although this week’s weekly roundup is short, it is definitely sweet! Lola has been singing the praises of Westman Atelier for years, so it sounds like their palette is worth a look. Angie also has the best and most useful styling ideas. And Barbie has the most informative “how to” posts. And if you missed …
