It’s Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas Glam, and today I went all in with rose, berry, and pink tones — such a gorgeous trio for the holiday season and perfect with my Christmas shirt! I brought back an old favorite, the Haus Labs Triclone Foundation, and paired it with new finds I’m obsessed with: the Rare Beauty Matte Bouncy Blush and Laura Mercier lip liner, lipstick, and bronzer. Everything blended so beautifully!
✨ Glam Tip: For a soft, glowing shimmer on the eyes, grab your favorite highlighter — it gives the prettiest sparkle every time.

12 Days of Christmas Glam – Day 6! Today’s look was all about easy, effortless glam. The Laura Mercier Shadow Sticks blended like a dream on my mature eyelids—quick, smooth, and so pretty. The Maybelline blush added the perfect festive pop (just remember… a little goes a long way!). And the lipstick + lip plumper combo tied everything together beautifully. Feeling festive, polished, and loving this Day 6 look! 🎄💄✨

12 Days of Christmas Glam • Day 5 ✨ Today’s holiday makeup look is all about soft glam eyes and pretty pink tones. I pulled out my Urban Decay Mini Naked 2 Palette (the all-matte shades are so good!) and added the perfect shimmer using the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Palette. For my foundation & contour I used my Maxine’s Revenge French Face Concealer - it’s absolutely gorgeous on mature skin!
For the cheeks and lips, I stayed in the pink makeup family—fresh, feminine, and perfect for holiday parties, winter events, or everyday glam. If you love easy holiday makeup, over-50 beauty, or soft pink makeup looks, this one is a must-try! 💗✨

#LTKHoliday #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

From daytime errands to nighttime glam in about 15 minutes. ✨ I didn’t have time to redo my makeup, so I just freshened things up before heading out. Amazing what a few extra products can do! The one step I never skip? My Kosas Setting Spray — truly a game changer. If I had a few more minutes, I would’ve popped on a strip lash, but we made it work!

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKHoliday

🎄 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Glam: Day 4! ✨
Today’s look is 90% drugstore glam — and let me tell you, hours later the blush is still blushing, the lashes are still fluttering, and the eyeshadow is still showing off. 😍
I always stay loyal to a few higher-end staples (powder and concealer, I’m looking at you!), but shoutout to e.l.f., Milani, NYX and Maybelline for helping me create an affordable, absolutely gorgeous holiday look today. 💄✨
Who says you can’t glow on a budget?

#LTKHoliday #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Glam ✨
Today’s look leans daytime… though some might call it full-on glam! The Makeup by Mario Ethereal Palette never disappoints—those shimmers are next level. And ladies, the L’Oreal Extensionist Mascara? SO good. I’d put it up against my high-end favorites any day. Loving how this look turned out! 🎄💫

Gone are the days when the Little Black Dress was the only answer for holiday parties. When I slip into sparkly pants and a stunning sweater like these, I feel just as pretty—and so much more comfortable. ✨
These pants have an elastic waist (yes, please!) and shimmer beautifully, and this sweater? A complete showstopper that stopped me in my tracks.
If you need a gorgeous, affordable holiday outfit, don’t wait… these will go fast! I’m wearing this look tonight, and I cannot wait! ❤️🎄✨

#LTKOver40 #LTKHoliday #LTKMidsize

It’s 12 Days of Christmas Glam – Day 2! 🎄✨
Today I went full holiday glam with a soft smokey eye, bold red blush and my favorite nude lippy. Mature beauty can be festive, fun, and fabulous — and this affordable eyeshadow palette is another total win! What do you think of this look? 💄✨

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKHoliday

Baby, it’s cold outside—but that’s not stopping me! Staying cozy, comfy, and still looking pulled-together for all my Christmas errands.
And the best part? This whole look is adorable, budget-friendly, and size inclusive. 🎁✨

#LTKMidsize #LTKHoliday #LTKOver40

It’s Day 1 of the 12 Days of Christmas Glam! 🎄✨" Buckle up, beauties—holiday season is officially HERE, and so are all the parties, dinners, and festive nights out. So I figured… why not take you along and show you exactly how I’m glamming it up this year?
Starting strong with this Sephora Collection palette because WOW—she’s serving shimmer, sparkle, and endless holiday possibilities. I already see about 27 looks coming from this one palette alone 😂✨
Let the glam games begin! 💄🎁✨

Sadly lipstick is not available yet!!

If sparkle season had a spokesperson, it would be me ✨"
"I’m here for all the sparkles this season brings. This affordable sequin top can go glam or casual, and today I’m pairing it with jeans for the perfect dressed-up-but-still-easy look. They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend… but give me ALL the sequins. And the best part? The inside is buttery soft—zero scratchiness!"

Sunday makeup is usually super casual for me, and today was no different. Lots of cream products for that soft, natural finish — they never fail me. And yes, I’m still obsessed with the Laura Mercier Caviar Shadow Sticks. Have you tried them? They’re truly amazing!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

As a mature woman who tests skincare for a living, I’ve learned that simple is powerful. My routine isn’t complicated — just effective.
Makeup remover, cleanser, a touch of glycolic acid when needed, hydrating essences, Vitamin C, a peptide + HA plumper, sunscreen/moisturizer, and a nourishing eye cream.
Some products are splurges, some are budget-friendly, but every single one earns its place on my shelf. Quality over clutter… always.

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder100

Tis the season for glitz and glam ✨ And yes… mature women can absolutely sparkle during the holidays. Loving these lashes today — they’re so lightweight I can’t even feel them, and they add the prettiest touch. Sometimes it just feels good to get dressed up, do our hair and makeup, and enjoy a festive night out.

#LTKHoliday #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Even on my busiest days, I still want to feel polished. Shadow sticks make my mature lids look soft and blended in seconds, and a cream blush that doubles as a lip shade is a lifesaver. I’m loving how this quick look turned out! What do you think, friends?
Colors used:
Shadow sticks
Ablaze - NARS

It’s Thanksgiving week and if you’re anything like me, you are busy, busy, busy! But I still want to look polished, so a quick GRWM it is. Liquid shadows never disappoint when I’m in a rush — and this 3-piece Unbuttoned Lip Set by Kosas is such an amazing deal!
Are you team quick-makeup this week too?

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

If your brows aren’t working… your whole makeup look struggles. Kosas to the rescue! Their Gray shade is a perfect match for my silver strands, and the gels + pencil make brows so simple, clean, and polished. Total game-changer for mature brows. ❤️🌟

Would you believe this glam outfit is under $60? ✨ The shimmery skirt looks high-end, moves beautifully when you’re dancing, and the rhinestone-bow sweater brings all the luxe vibes. Boujie on a budget for women over 40/50 has never looked so good. 💃✨

Even on a busy day, a little glam goes a long way.I had a stack of appointments today, but I still wanted to look put together before heading out the door. The little mini eyeshadow from Too Faced is absolutely darling—and those shades really make my green eyes pop. The blush was brighter than I expected (definitely more of a teen-vibe), but I toned it down and I’m glad I gave it a try. Overall, I think the look turned out pretty! 💕✨

Travel days mean one thing: even more SPF! I always start with my moisturizer with SPF 50 and then layer on products that give me the glow and the protection. Maybe it’s excessive, but at least I know my skin is safe. I’ve got enough sun damage already, thank you very much!

Quick tutorial time! ✨

Today I’m showing you two different ways to apply the Armani Liquid Eyeshadow - both fast, gorgeous and easy to do!

Obsessed with how effortless this formula blends 👀 How do you apply your liquid eyeshadow?

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40

Even when I’m rushing to the salon, I’m not leaving without my makeup on!” 😂 Loving these liquid and cream products on my mature skin — Armani Liquid Eyeshadows, Cream Blush, and French Face Concealer (used as bronzer!) are perfection. ✨

Can we talk about how good this Tarte palette is? 😍 Another beautiful makeup look using products I picked up during the Sephora Sale! 💄 These little Tarte palettes are perfect for travel — compact, versatile, and so easy to use. And ladies, you absolutely can’t go wrong with the Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara… va-va-voom lashes every time! ✨

Normally, I don’t use the word dupe — and I definitely don’t go hunting for them. But I was shocked when I realized this top from Walmart is a dupe for the Spanx one! I put them side by side, and honestly, the only noticeable difference is the zipper pull. 😳 I can’t believe the Walmart version is just $20 compared to $129! Don’t sleep on this one, ladies — it’s going to sell out fast!

💄 Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear glam makeup as a mature woman! ✨ Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing glam looks that you can easily recreate right in your own bathroom. I’m obsessed with how this one turned out — proof that beauty has no age limit!
Today is the last day of the Sephora Savings Event, and this eyeshadow palette is hands-down my favorite. Don’t miss it! 🤍
