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!

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend and I wore this gorgeous dress that was perfect for celebrating my next grandson. I felt like the accessories complemented my outfit perfectly.

I’m feeling blessed and I hope you’re feeling the same as we kick off a new month.🩷

Guess what? Get ready for the day doesn’t have to Guess what? Get ready for the day doesn’t have to be time consuming or complicated. I can apply my makeup for a natural look in under 10 minutes and then I’m out the door. 

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

All of the products used in today’s Friday Finds are new to me in the last few weeks and work well for my mature skin. Let me know if you want DETAILS on anything you see here.🤩

I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t ha I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t have to be part of my everyday look. #OlayPartner 

I’ve been using the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream, and I love how hydrated, smooth and refreshed my skin looks and feels. Our skin changes as we age and keeping it moisturized with effective ingredients is one of the simplest ways I keep mine looking firmer, smoother, healthier and more radiant at 61 years old.

The @olay Micro-Sculpting Cream has triple collagen peptides, niacinamide and pro-vitamin B5 to support younger looking skin.

If you’re looking for dramatic results without taking drastic measures, then this is a moisturizer you will be impressed with. It layers beautifully under makeup and delivers lasting hydration.

Comment your skincare goals and save this reel for your next beauty shopping trip.♥️

If you’ve been around here for a while, you already know I can never resist a great lip product. 😄 Whether it’s a creamy lipstick, a glossy finish, or the perfect everyday nude, these are the ones I keep reaching for again and again.

A great lip color has a way of pulling my whole look together in seconds, and these favorites have definitely earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag.

If you’re looking for the best lipsticks for women over 50, that include long-lasting lipstick, hydrating lip products, or everyday favorites, I hope this gives you a few new ideas to try!
