Friday Beauty Favorites

January 20, 2017

I have purchased and reviewed so many new products in the past several months that I forget to take the time to do a beauty favorites post for you here on my blog.  This week I’ve decided that it’s time that you know what’s at the top of my list right now.  This list includes a few newer products and some of my really old tried and true favorites.

You must  have heard of Baby Foot by now…  This foot peel is great!  The best time to use it is in the winter when you’re not wearing open shoes and have time for peeling.  All of the nasty dead skin will peel off of your feet to reveal the pretty soft skin hiding underneath.  I’m also a super long time fan of the Callus Reducer tool and Sole Food cream for the softest feet ever.  The combination of these two products is something I haven’t been without for about 20 years and counting.  That’s the truth.  My mom told me about these way back when and I actually listened to her on this!

I joined the Le Metier De Beaute VIP subscription box program this year.  Their monthly boxes started arriving back in August.  Each month I’m impressed with what I receive.  A few months ago I received the After Glow Foundation (I’m a shade 5).  This foundation gives a pretty full coverage and is lightweight on the skin.  It’s infused with hyaluronic acid, so it helps to hydrate my middle-aged skin.  It’s a pricey one, but worth it in my opinion.

Kat Von D Makeup Brushes – I have several makeup brushes from the line and I’m telling you, they are so nice.  You can feel the quality of them in your hands.   I love the edge concealer brush and setting powder brush the best.  I actually received these two in an Influenster Box.  The concealer brush applies my concealer under my eyes and over my age spots perfectly.  I then set with the fluffy powder brush and finishing powder.  Perfection!

The Liptensity formula of lipsticks from MAC is one of my favorites lately.  The Driftwood color is one that I find myself grabbing for almost daily.  It’s a gorgeous soft lilac beige.  I think everyone will love the shade too.


There’s a reason the Copper Face Palette from the MAC Nutcracker holiday collection sold out so fast.  The blush color is a peachy brown, like a terracotta.  It is stunning!  I thought it would be too dark for me, but boy was I wrong.  Combined with a dusting of the light gold highlighter, it’s simply gorgeous!  It gives a deeper glow to my face.  As options, you could try Show Gold Extra Dimension Skinfinish and the Coppertone Powder Blush.

Lastly, I thought I’d mention my favorite tv show right now and for the past year (at least).  I love the show and the blog for Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines from Waco, Texas.  My goal is to meet them some day (they’re just an hour and half away from me).  They have the best style in home decor.  I adore every single thing that they’ve done for the homes on their show.  As you know, I’m currently building a custom home and they influenced some of my choices.  I feel like I could invite them over and they’d feel right at home with my design choices.  If only I could get Joanna to come give me decorating advice when I move in…  Actually, I’m too far out of her traveling for work distance, but I can keep wishing.

    I love favorites posts. I always learn a lot. Like I never heard of the Liptensity line from MAC and they sound perfect for me. Will you do a post on the Le Metier de Beaute box sometime? Anastasia used to do them, and I always loved seeing what was in the box.

      Yes, I think you should at least get a sampling of the foundation and then go play with the brushes at Sephora or somewhere close to you now. Stacie xo

    That foot peel is the best! Right now my favorites are all skincare things, First Beauty moisturizer and this new castor oil from Haiti that I use for my brows and lashes.

    What a fun post. I love reading your favorites. My MAC Liptensity lipstick is one of my favorites too – the first MAC lipstick I’ve bought in 2 years.

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!
