Weekend News – Volume 2

April 11, 2026

Hello there friends! Welcome back to my Weekend News update!

I just returned yesterday from my quick last minute trip to Florida. I was there for a last minute photoshoot with one of my favorite skincare brands (and also to visit my mother-in-law). It was an incredible experience and I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity. We’re never too old to chase our dreams friends! I wish only amazing things for all of you too.

And as if I don’t have enough on my plate already, I decided to join Limelife by Alcone as a Beauty Guide. I had been thinking of doing this for quite some time and the deal was sealed for me when I tried their incredible foundation called The Perfect Cream Foundation. It’s a professional foundation used by many makeup artists including the makeup artist who did my makeup at my photoshoot (total coincidence). They have a foundation shade finder that’s very accurate if you’re thinking you might want to try it too or ask me to help you find your match.

If you do decide to get the foundation, be sure to also pick up their new Hit Refresh Gel Mist. It helps the foundation to glide on seamlessly and can be used to hydrate throughout the day. I will be sharing more later, but for now you can explore my new site here. I will be sharing and demonstrating more of their products soon.

I’ve been wearing this top from Spanx nonstop. I have it in black and white and now I just ordered a unique green color. It’s an incredible deal. I also wore these cute sandals throughout my entire trip. They’re on sale right now and come in both beige and black.

I’ve mentioned before that you can join me in affiliate marketing if you have a little bit of a following on social media or a place to promote your links. This is my referral link which helps you get approved faster. I love using this platform more than others. Let me know if you have any questions. Always happy to help!

As a reminder, if you ever want to say hi, have anything exciting to share or something you just want to talk about, send me an email to stacie@makeupobsessedmom.com and let me know what’s going on.

Full Disclosure: My newsletter contains some affiliate links. If you use my links to make a purchase I may earn a small commission. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and I really appreciate your support!

A few favorites for the week

A woman stands indoors smiling, wearing a tan cardigan over a white ruffled blouse, blue wide-leg Oliver Logan Aberdeen jeans, and sandals. She has long brown hair and stands on a rug next to a beige sofa, with straw hats hanging on the wall behind her.

These have to be my new favorite jeans. They have a great fit (I wear size 26/2 and they are longer on me at just 5’1). I wore them twice in 4 days on my trip to Florida. So comfy and lots of compliments. Use my link in pink above for 20% off your order of $50+ or my code Stacie20 for 20% off now. One time use per customer. You will LOVE this brand. They carry standard length and some petite styles as well. The style I’m wearing in the photo above is a standard lenght, but they are technically cropped.  P.S. I wore this affordable cashmere cardigan every single day on my trip, including on the plane. Lots of color options.

A few beauty favorites this week

A box of Clean Skin Club Clean Towels labeled "Original," with a towel partially pulled out. The box highlights features like compostability, gentle exfoliation, dermatologist approval, and contains 50 XL towels.

I love these Clean Towels for drying my face. They’re soft and absorbent and keep my regular towels free of products that may discolor or stain my regular towels. I use them to blot the water from my face when washing morning and night. I brought some on my trip so I wouldn’t mess up the hotel’s or my mother-in-law’s towels.

A black tube of Laura Geller Long + Lifted tubing mascara is shown open, with the mascara wand and its bristled brush standing upright beside the tube on a light gray background.

Laura Geller just released her brand new tubing mascara called Long-n-Lifted. I just tried it for the first time and I’m extremely impressed. It gave my lashes amazing length and came right off with warm water at the end of the day.

A hand holds a light blue makeup sponge in front of a white sink with silver faucets and a beige tiled backsplash.

I bought these face sponges to use when I cleanse my face. They feel soft and not abrasive. I love using them to help my skin feel really clean no matter which cleanser I choose to use. They come in a 6 pack of assorted colors and I highly recommend them.

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.
