If you like the high-end version but not the price, I've got you.

4 of my favorite pricy products paired with affordable alternatives that actually deliver.

I'm not saying they're the exact same, but they're going to give you a very similar result.

Ps: the ColourPop Blush in S Tier is a great alternative to the Rhode blush is Piggy!

Been loving these City Lips Plumping Glosses. My favorite shade is Tinsel Town.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Lip combo of the week, using three of my favorite lip products. The Senegence LipSense Cream is the best long wearing matte lip color that doesn’t feel drying on the lips. I used the shade On Pointe Pink (you can find them at Senegence.com/rachaelthomasbeauty.) I lined my lips with the Maybelline Lifter Liner in the shade Upstate. These lip liners are creamy and are long wearing. Then I finished my lips with the City Lips Plumping Lip Gloss in the shade Tinsel Town. I’m obsessed with this shade. These slightly plump the lips while leaving them feeling hydrated.

Love these cuff earrings and they’re affordable!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

Love a good jumpsuit. Mine is unavailable, but linking some similar cute options.

These clip in hair extensions are only $20 but feel like high end. They’re so easy to apply and I’m very impressed with the finished look!

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Here are my dry skin, skin prepped items:
Byoma Milky Toner:
My skin drinks this up before anything else goes on, it leaves the skin hydrated, adds a glow, and sits well under makeup.

INNBeauty Extreme Cream:
The moisturizer works great on dry skin, isn’t too heavy, and leave your skin glowing.

Eye Cream or balm:
And eye cream or the balm is a must under makeup. It helps your concealer glide on and helps to prevent it from looking cakey.

Point of View Beauty Drip It: (not able to link here)
This lightweight serum adds hydration and adds radiance to the skin.

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

5 Makeup Products that are 100% worth their price tag (IMO)

1. YSL Make Me Blush: not only do these blushes come in the most gorgeous shades, but they blur the skin and stay in place all day.
2. Rhode Pocket Bronzer: I recently got this, but haven’t stoped wearing it since. It glides on smoothly, blends beautifully, and is great on mature skin.
3. Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation: Every time I use this, I know I’m going to get a flawless finish. This is a medium coverage foundation with skincare ingredients that blurs and leaves a natural, luminous finish.
4. Saie Airset Powder: this talc-free translucent powder smooths the skin and never leaves it dry or cakey.
5. Sarah Creal Eyes Up Kajal Liners: these glide on smoothly without tugging or skipping, are smudge-proof, and long wearing. Perfect for hooded eyes!!

What high end makeup do you swear by?

I’m not a huge fan of lips oils, but this one is so good, I’ve been wearing it non stop!

Ladies, I've fallen in love with the One Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. It doesn't just lock in makeup, but it actually hydrates dry skin!

It sets powder to a glass-like finish and brings your face back to life if you go a little heavy with the powder. Plus, it has ingredients that boost radiance and moisture instantly and over time.

Highly recommend this one for us 40+ babes.

Lip combo of the week: beach edition

I line my lips with the Sacheu lip stain first — it stays put all day and gives that fuller pout without any touch-ups needed.

Then I top it with the Prequel Lip Visor (SPF 30). It protects, moisturizes, and doesn’t taste like sunscreen — plus it’s so easy to reapply throughout the day for a pretty tint.

Save this for your next beach day 🏖️

I’m in shade Main Character for the liner and Blush for the lip visor

#LTKselfcare #LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

This Rhode bronzer might be the easiest one I’ve used on mature skin.

It glides on smooth and creamy, blends effortlessly, and doesn’t settle into fine lines or texture. It just looks like skin.
I’m in the shade Sip. Also love this Teacup blush shade

Outfit of the day. A cute, sporty look for working from home then baseball mom duties. Also, I’ve had this Amazon tote for several months and love it!

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

An outfit can turn heads, but the right perfume leaves a lasting impression.

@esteelauder’s Beautiful Magnolia Fleur is femininity in full bloom — a radiant white floral with notes of magnolia, solar gardenia, and cedarwood. Light enough for daytime, sophisticated enough for evening. One spritz and you’re ready for anything.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm

Gua sha was always on my to-do list — until life got in the way. The oils, the redness, the waiting before makeup… I kept skipping it. Then I found this contour face brush. Soft bristles, zero redness, no oils needed. Just two minutes for a depuffed, snatched face. This is the lazy girl gua sha we’ve all been waiting for.
