Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
How’s your new year going so far, lol? It’s still New Year Eve here now. We went out to dinner this evening at a local Thai restaurant, and the joint was jumpin’! I got somewhat dressed up, since going to Andalin Thai was all we were planning. I even put on my sparkly Olive and …
I love berets. I’ve been wearing them since I was a kid, in spite of the itchy wool against my forehead. Over the past weekend, Quince had a relatively rare sale. Their Mongolian Cashmere Beret was marked down to about $20 from the regular price of $29.90. I read through all the reviews, and customers …
Max Alexander, Fashion Designer He’s everywhere on social media these days. I’m referring to 9 year old fashion designer, Max Alexander (in the photo above), who told his parents that he, at age 4, was a fashion designer. His mostly colorful, embellished clothing — in addition to his adorable presence and talents — has certainly …
Hope you had a wonderful and memorable Christmas! Are you ready to face the new year next? In the meantime, if you have some personal time to chill out before the holiday week continues, check out last week’s Beauty & Style Spotlight Team’s blogposts 😀 Fashion and Beauty Holiday Roundup As Angie at Your True …
Greetings and best wishes for a Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! Hope your day is filled with love, peace and laughter today and always. The tree in the photo above is from Salem Massachusetts. But the only witch in sight is the sculpture of Samantha Stevens from Bewitched! Enjoy your day no matter how …
Thinking of making a dessert for the holidays with caramel sauce? Why buy it when you can make it yourself! Caramel is one of my most favorite sweet confections. It turns ice cream into a sundae. Bananas Foster is a cinch to make at the last minute. Drizzling it on apple pie or even a …
This was such a busy weekend that I didn’t get a chance to post the weekly roundup from Beauty & Style Spotlight Team. My good friend Sue who moved to D.C. almost two years ago called me at the last minute when she decided to come for the night on Friday on her way back …
Over the past three years, I have been happy with lash and brow growth serums from Scorolash. My lashes are a decent length, and finally, some areas that need filling in on my brows are growing. ViveLab Revive Therapy Hair Brow Lash Serum However, I ran across a new-to-me K-beauty brand, ViveLab, and specifically the …
Recently, I was asked if I wanted to try skincare products from a family-owned brand that specializes in small batch, handmade skincare and makeup products made with natural and organic ingredients. Of course I said yes. I wanted to get this review in before the holidays, so these are my initial impressions of three skincare …
First, I’ve been having trouble with my website. For some reason, it thinks I’m an outsider, and often it won’t let me log in. Sorry that I haven’t been around when I’ve wanted to! Second, on Thursday, I received a letter from UPS. Frankly, I thought they were billing me ex post facto for the …
These weekends before the holidays can be a super busy time with shopping, wrapping, cooking, and partying. We’re going to a party for the boxing club that Jeff takes part in today. Supposedly, spouses can box at the event, but I will pass this time 😉 On Sunday, we’re going to a Hanukkah party that …
After using up my big bottle of It’s A 10 in November, I took advantage of their pre-holiday sale to stock up. I have used It’s A 10 Original off and on for about 10 years, maybe longer. In fact, I was surprised that the brand had such an extensive product line on their website, …
I often apply my nail polish when I go to bed. Kind of a dumb idea, right? Usually I can get away with it, but with jelly polish like Boysenberry Glass, it makes much more sense to use a table and to wear my glasses! Boysenberry Glass is one of Olive and June’s jelly polishes. …
There’s a commercial on TV that really grosses me out. It’s a drug for those who wake up with crusty eyelids. It shows cartoon drawings of bugs that make up the goo. Ew!!! Well, after about 20 years of having dry eye and probably almost as long having blepharitis, a condition characterized by crusty eyelids …
Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions I’ve been using Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions for several years off and on. It’s a tubing mascara that adds both length and volume to lashes especially when applying more coats to lashes while they’re still wet. I think Thrive is the best tubing mascara there is. It has a …
