Beauty Tips, My Favorites

Beauty Products that I’m Loving + Giveaway Reminder

December 13, 2016

I thought it would be fun for me to share with you some of the new beauty products I’ve recently added to my arsenal that I’m actually loving.  As you can imagine, I purchase new products often and receive pr samples on a weekly basis.  I also subscribe to several beauty boxes and receive new and interesting products in those as well.

*All products purchased by me/affiliate links

  1. A few months ago I received a life changing foundation in a monthly beauty box that I subscribe to.  It’s the Le Metier de Beaute After Glow Foundation.  This was in my monthly subscription box.  I wear shade 5.  This foundation hydrates and covers imperfections at the same time.  It’s extra wonderful because I can wear a thin layer and sheer it out or I can use a larger amount for full coverage.  It lasts well from morning to night.
  2. I’m always on the hunt for new and better mascaras to give my lashes extra length and volume that they lack on their own.  LORAC hit it out of the ballpark with their Pro Mascara.  This mascara isn’t brand new, but it’s new to me.  I don’t know what took me so long to buy this one.  I’m certain that I’ll be repurchasing this mascara on a regular basis because I can’t get enough of longer and thicker lashes.
  3. I seem to have fallen in love with the Sephora Pro makeup brushes lately for applying my eyeshadow.  I feel like an artist when doing my eye makeup and love the feel of these brushes in my hands.  They have a glamorous feel to them.  My current favorites from the collection are all eye brushes.  They’re the Pro Smudge Brush (#11), Pro Shader Brush (#18) and Pro Bullet Crease Brush (#86).
  4. Did you get your hands on any of the MAC Cosmetics Holiday Collection this year?  I stalked their site until this gorgeous face palette became available.  I believe it’s completely sold out on their site, but you might be able to find it in a store somewhere.  The copper blush is  something I never thought I would wear.  However, it is stunning on.  It adds the perfect amount of warmth to the face.  The highlight color is a light gold.  This is another color that I never thought I could pull off.  However, it’s beautiful on.  The best part about this palette is that I use it on my eyes too.  The shades are amazing and I think MAC needs to make it available as a permanent part of their line.

    What box did you get the LMdB foundation in? That would be a great box. I think your purchases are excellent and of course things I’d want too. I’ll share your giveaway on my blog this Sunday.

    I wanted that MAC collection so bad, but I’m still working through so many other things I couldn’t justify the purchase. Great range of products here!

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.
