Magic Razorless Cream Shave

I may have been blonder in my youth, and now although dirty blonde I still am one hairy woman. Arms, legs and face (sigh). I have a thick fuzz on my jawline and "shudder upper lip. Now unless someone is looking really closely or I am in full on sunlight, you really can't see the "fuzz". But I CAN!! Also, when applying foundation I have to be careful to stroke down to make sure the fuzz lays flat. So I have used Nair for years. Nair though can burn the tar outta me and that lovely red, scaly side effect sucks.

I was wandering Walgreens and saw this on the clearance endcap and thought why not! It freakin' worked! It isn't as harsh as Nair and works just as effectively and is soooo much less expensive. I panicked though because it was clearenced thinking it probably is discontinued, but after researching and shopping found it at WalMart, Albertsons and other stores and it is only 4 bucks at most places. It is a bigger tube than Nair and lasts so long.

I thought seriously about shaving my face but couldn't bring myself to have stubble. This is my new favorite and even the hubby tried it and was impressed. If you have serious fuzz and want to try something different, grab this and try it, I think you will impressed! Don't forget to patch test first (the nurse in me had to say that ").

Do you have a favorite hair remover?

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Products

I have read tons of reviews on the concealer and purchased it first and fell in love with the product (I am super picky about my undereye concealer). The sponge is easy to use, places the product right where I want it and isn't too heavy and hasn't creased on me! So off to the store to purchase the foundation. It is also easy to use, light coverage and of course works dang well with the concealer. Throw into a purse for simple touch-ups on the go. I actually am impressed with the products and because you don't need a lot, this should last for quite some time.

A budget brand with great products is right up my alley and these are just right. What are your thoughts? Do you like convenient products like this? Would love to hear from you in the comments!

GlamGlow Thirsty Cleanse Cleanser

I am always looking for great cleansers and don't want to dry out my face more than menopause has!! I purchased this from Sephora to give myself options to cleanse. First you need verrryyy little to clean your face, second it suds up seriously (for those that love their suds:), third, it has a very unique smell to it (it doesn't bother my migraines). I really liked this product. It definitely leaves you squeaky clean but not dried out. The bottle will last for quite a long time as you need one little pump.

I have used the GlamGlow masks and this is reminiscent of those. Not sure that I would repurchase as there are several drugstore options that I feel are dupes but will enjoy using it in the meantime. It really does leave a moisture barrier behind as this is the product claim. GlamGlow has definitely expanded their product line but they all are very similar.

Have you tried the new GlamGlow products? What are your thoughts?

Sephora Oil in Tint Stain

Yeppers, we ALL know I am a lippie junkie and when YSL came out with their oil tints I was able to purchase one. However, the price kinda put me off. Sephora came out with this version and I had to try it!

It is silky, has some beautiful color payoff, lasts for about 3 hours on me. The price is manageable to be able to purchase multiple colors. It is definitely drying though and my 49 year old lips can tell it immediately. I have to place balm on top to keep from having it bleed into my fine lines. It's another great pocket lippie and as long as I have balm around, I will continue to use these!

Short, sweet and to the point. Have you tried these?

Hourglass Hyaluronic Skin Tint

The Beauty Professor on Bloglovin is one of my favorite blogs and she has talked about this product. I wanted to try this because hyaluronic is key to hydrated skin and the older I get as well as menopause has dried out my skin. I was surprised by this product. It is thick, takes very little to cover the face and is tricky to apply. I used my fingers the first time and seriously couldn't get the product to apply evenly. Then I used a brush and didn't like it either. The damp Beauty Blender was the trick! It spread evenly, didn't cake and and looked glowy and definitely wasn't drying.

I like that it has SPF and Hourglass products are totally kick ass (IMO:). This winter I have been using it regularly and like that it doesn't pill over my skincare products. All in all, I am happy with this product and have a feeling I will repurchase when I run out.

Sephora carries this and although a bit pricey, I feel it is worth it. Get a sample and see if you like it!

The Too Faced Melted Metals

Oh yes, the lippie addiction continues! I purchased the regular Melted's and liked them. Great color payoff and they lasted for a bit on me as well as they didn't dry me out to bad. When the Metals came out I had to at least try them. Oh MY! Love them as they also have great color payoff but have a gorgeous shine to them that just pops. I am unable to keep tube lippies in my scrub pockets at work because with menopause (hot flashes) they melt! Seriously not kidding! A tube of color though is safe and able to be in a pocket without getting melted :) and how fun to have a pretty color to use.

I will say though that some of the colors are a tad gritty but still pretty and who doesn't like a purple to wear when you need a color pickup. These rock for real. Have you tried the new Metals? What is your favorite color? Do tell!!

Sephora Play box

I seriously had to get in on the new Sephora box and I was not disappointed! For $10 dollars a month, they will send you a box with samples of a variety of products. Mine had, Bare Minerals, Bite, Josie Maran, Stella MacCartney and Makeup Forever. Bare Minerals Buxom Lip cream in Dolly (love! as it has a minty cool feel on the lips), a Bite lip pencil, Josie Maran Argan oil mini (totally necessary in the winter), Makeup Forever hydrating primer (necessary when you are in your 40's AND winter), and a sample of Stella McCartneys perfume.

Love the box and it will be used as it's sturdy and pretty! I got burned out on beauty boxes about 2 years ago and this one was one really something I was looking forward to because, ladies, SEPHORA!


Have you gotten the Sephora beauty box? Did you get something different in yours? So tell me what you think, is it worth the $10?

Here's to a blessed holiday season, Sherry
