In my 40’s I started asking the question, “Is this too young for me?”. Now, in my 50’s I’ve started wondering if I’m getting lazy with my “fashion over 50”. If you’re like me, you don’t want to have to spend too much time getting ready in the morning, you want comfort but you want to feel good in what…

Perfect everyday face wash.⁠ I love this face wa Perfect everyday face wash.⁠
I love this face wash so much! @paulaschoice "Ultra Gentle Cleanser" has become my go to everyday face wash. I use it in the shower and as a 2nd cleanse after a cleansing balm in the evening when I've been hot and sweaty all day or if i've had on sunscreen or makeup. Perfection for my mature skin.⁠
⁠
My number one consideration in a face wash is if i can use it on my very sensitive eyes and am happy to say this one fits the bill. You only need the tiniest bit so I expect this bottle to last a long time. Love it! No fragrance, just a very clean but not strippped feeling to my skin. So glad I found it ♥️.⁠

(no ads, just real recommendations) I love my @syd (no ads, just real recommendations)
I love my @sydneygraceco custom palette! I think of it as my "Cool Winter" palette, not because it's wintertime but because I love being able to select cooler toned colors just for me.. 

SWIPE for arm swatches of these beautiful colors.

I'm a minimal make-up person but this is all I need for shadows. And it never irritates my sensitive eyes!

Couldn't wait to post because they happen to be having their amazing "Christmas in July" sale.

The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotte The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotten a lot of mentions recently but I think it's deserved.⁠
⁠
"The Body Wash" from @necessaire really surprised me. I got the unscented version and I thought how much of an impression can an unscented body wash really make? But it really does leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized. Never have I almost forgotten to put on body lotion after a shower but I have to try to remember to do it now! ⁠
⁠
Just ordered their body lotion to try and can't wait to get it!⁠ Available at @sephora, @necessaire, @credo and more.⁠

I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty item I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty items over the next couple of weeks that I've REALLY been enjoying this (sweltering) summer. ⁠
⁠
First up are 2 lip products from @cayskin.⁠
⁠
I use both of these daily & LOVE them. On the left is the ⁠
"Isle Lip Balm" in clear. Lovely, shiny, long lasting lip gloss moisture and an SPF 30! This stays in my bag & goes with me everywhere this summer.⁠
⁠
The other, on the right, never leaves my bedside. It's the "Deepwater Lip Mask" and what I use at bedtime every night. I truly believe it has made a difference in the plumpness and moisturisation of my lips.⁠ ⁠
⁠
If this company isn't on your radar yet, I suggest you check them out.!⁠
⁠
 Available on @cayskin website and @Sephora.⁠
