Beauty Box Swap

August 19, 2012

I recently participated in a really fun swap.  It was called the Beauty Box Swap.  It was hosted by 3 fun bloggers (Tiffany at Blabbering Thoughts, Megan at Absolute Mommy and Andrea at Shabby Kitteh).  Everyone filled out a questionnaire with their beauty product preferences and the amount of $ that they felt comfortable swapping. I thought that this was such a good way to meet other bloggers who have the same passion for makeup that I do.

I received my box from Tiffany at {{blabbering thoughts}}.  Check out her fun blog when you get a chance.  I received a fun and colorful polka dot bubble mailer filled with all things pink(ish) and wonderful!!  Here are pictures of the contents:

But you really must watch my YouTube video to see it all along with my sincere thank you to Tiffany.  I sent a package to Kristen at http://thisradientlife.blogspot.com.  Check out her blog too so that you can see what I sent to her from her wishlist.  I would do this swap again in a heartbeat so I hope the girls decide to host another one (hint hint)!

Have a great day!

At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consisten At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consistently use a retinol product until now because I couldn’t handle the dry, irritated skin that I experienced when using them. #OlayPartner

@olay has this new Retinol 24 Starter that’s intentionally made for beginners and/or people with sensitive skin like me. I’m now able to get the “gold standard” benefits recommended by dermatologists with this gentler formula to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, fade dark spots and improve texture.

It’s formulated with Pro-Retinol, Triple Collagen Peptide and Aloe Vera to reveal the smoother, brighter skin that’s been unreachable until now.

And if you’re a long-time user of retinol products, they have several stronger formulas that you can check out too.

New users and those of us with sensitive skin can conveniently purchase this gentler formula at our favorite retailers or online. Give it a try. I think you’ll be as impressed as I am.

Tell me in the comments the number one goal you want to achieve for your skin.

GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking your best at any age isn’t about looking younger. It’s about looking like the best version of you.

At 61, I’m all about makeup that enhances my features, works well with mature skin, and still lets me look like me. I don’t want to hide behind my makeup, and I don’t think any of us need to. With the right products and techniques, makeup can simply bring out what’s already there.

I used all clean beauty makeup products to create a fresh, natural, polished look that feels good without feeling overdone.

If you’re a woman over 50—or 40, 60, or 70—and you’re looking for clean beauty, natural makeup for mature skin, makeup tips for mature skin, anti-aging makeup techniques, or natural-looking makeup that enhances instead of covers, this one is for you. ✨

Beauty doesn’t have an expiration date. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident.💕

Save this GRWM for your next makeup day and tell me: do you prefer a natural makeup look or something a little more glam?

As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new beauty and skincare products, these are some of my favorites over the last few weeks of the summer that I would repurchase again and only 1 fail.

As a matter of fact, I already repurchased the vitamins and prebiotics and probiotics supplement. I didn’t know Kourtney Kardashian was the owner of that brand. I only had 1 fail this time which was the terrible tasting creatine gummies. I don’t like stevia, but if you do then you may like with them.
