Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I’ve mentioned a number of times that I am a fine soap lover. I can’t get enough. I love the way they look, the way they smell, the natural ingredients, and the special care with which they’re made. I use them in the shower, to wash my hands and occasionally on my face. Because I …
At the beginning of the summer, I received an email from the woman behind Ritual Beauty, a beauty brand that was new to me. I am always excited to get acquainted with women who take risks and start their own businesses. And I love to find out what inspired them to start their particular business. …
For some time, I have wanted to try a skincare product with reservatrol. I first heard about reservatrol in conjunction with red wine. It’s an ingredient in red wine that is supposed to prevent damage to blood vessels, help reduce cholesterol and prevent blood clots. That’s why I drink red wine every chance I get …
I love serums, and I never get tired of trying new ones. I use them at least twice a day. I practically drink the stuff 😉 For the past month, I’ve been trying out a serum from a brand that was new to me, Foxbrim. The product is Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Vitamins C …
I’m a fan of Gabriel Organics. Last year, I reviewed one of the lipsticks and the fabulous Zuzu Luxe Peepshow Palette that amped up my holiday looks! I love the fact that I can use their wonderful makeup products without any concerns. So I was happy that they sent me one of their skincare products to …
May is Skin Cancer Awareness month, and I wanted to get my review of three of MyChelle Dermaceutricals’ sunscreen options in before June. I went from being in the house almost full-time this winter to working in my yard and gardens for hours at a time as well as jogging outside instead of on the …
Oh, I’m finding all kinds of new skincare products to try out! I received a box of Exuviance Intensive Eye Treatment Pads via Brandbacker, the bloggers’ association, in exchange for an honest review. The box contains 12 packets containing two very thin fabric eye treatment pads (like a sheet mask) that are saturated with lactobionic …
A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to try an entire range of skincare products chosen for my particular skincare needs – aging dry skin with sun damage – by a skin consultant at Paula’s Choice. Most of the products I’m using are from the Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery line for dry or very …
October and November are the pumpkin months. Pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin-flavored stuff are everywhere. I had my first pumpkin bread of the season last night (I’m behind schedule). Earlier in October, Jeff and I went to the Topsfield Fair and saw the winner of this year’s Biggest Pumpkin of the Season Contest – it weighed …
Brrrrr, there was frost on the grass this morning! The temperatures went below freezing last night again. I guess there’s no stopping this winter thing. So I’m trying to get ready for the dryness that cold weather brings and keep my skin in good shape for the holidays. I love oils, and recently I received …
So far, old man winter hasn’t been too bad yet in New England. I say “yet” because our winter from hell last year didn’t start until the end of January. So I definitely don’t think we’ll escape from the cold and snow this year either. But I am ready. A couple of months ago, I …
A while ago, I was sent two products from derma e, a brand that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. derma e makes high quality natural skincare products with effective ingredients at sensible prices. It is a family owned, California company, started in 1984. Although I splurge every now and then, the majority …
Several years ago, the light went on for me that I must wear sunscreen all year round. Most of the time, I use a moisturizer with SPF, but sometimes the whitish cast that moisturizer with sunscreen leaves as well as the heavier feel puts me off. Fortunately, I had the opportunity through Brandbacker, the blogger-brand …
I was so excited by a new cleanser I received for review, NUDE Perfect Cleanse, that I wanted to tell you about it right away. But I made myself use it for a couple of weeks to make sure I didn’t lose my enthusiasm. I definitely still love it as much as I did the …
