Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
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 …
I’m amazed at the beauty of the Merle Norman products that are new for this holiday season and beyond. A friend of mine reminded me that I thought it was strange that I wasn’t impressed when she bought from Merle Norman. She lives in a small city so the easiest place for her to shop …
Hearts are in in makeup design this year. Lucky me, the heart collector! I’m traveling on business this week, and I needed a more portable blush than my go-to heart-shaped Too Faced Flush Blush. I love the shade, the shape, but I don’t like how big it is and that I need to carry a …
I’ve been seeing a lot reviews for various Physicians Formula Butter products lately. Because I’m a fan of cream-to-powders or creamy powders, I wanted to try it. I had a $5 off coupon at Ulta, so I decided to give it a go. At Ulta, just like at CVS, there was a very small selection …
A couple of years ago, I won a giveaway that gave me the chance to try two beautiful Eddie Funkhouser lipsticks (reviewed here). I was smitten. Eddie Funkhouser is professional makeup artist and the powerhouse behind Eddie Funkhouser Cosmetics. He’s also a terrific person. 😛 Another thing that I love about him is that he …
Beauty Junkees is my favorite great quality, affordable brand bar none. I love their brushes and sponges – IMHO, they are the best value around. And over the past few months, they’ve launched makeup! A few weeks ago, I introduced you to their beautiful blushes (here) that fit nicely into their sturdy, well-made, affordable magnetic …
Beauty Junkees has been very busy this past year. They are expanding their new makeup line by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, I shared the Contouring and Highlighting Palette with you here. And they recently introduced a fabulous new magnetic palette that I reviewed here. Now, they’re taking cheek makeup a step further with …
For months, I was literally on the hunt for Milani Limited Edition Coming Up Roses Blush. I saw it in the late spring or early summer, I believe, on a West Coast blogger’s blog, and I had to have it. She had purchased it at Walgreen’s, so all summer I went to every Walgreen’s I encountered, …
I love cute little things. I can’t resist them. Maybelline Face Studo Master Glaze Blush Stick was one of those cute little things that I couldn’t resist. I found it in a Limited Edition display at both Bed Bath & Beyond and at CVS. Because I had CVS Extrabucks I bought it there. Master …
A couple of months ago, I reviewed Milani Coming Up Roses Blush, a limited edition that seemed to be in very limited supply at CVS during the second half of 2013. I imagine that due to the popularity of that LE, Milani has come back with more new shades of the Coming Up Roses Blush …
I’m really taken by all the new products and shades being introduced by Jordana for Spring 2015. The Modern Mattes (reviewed here) are definitely my favorite matte lipstick, and I also seem to be reaching for them more than any other lippie of any kind, matte or not. And the Easyliner lip pencils go on …
