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.

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.

The key to flawless makeup? The right products. Here are three I’ve been loving lately:

Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balm — This melts seamlessly into the skin for a natural, sun-kissed finish. Infused with ceramides, peptides, and a trio of butters, it’s a dream for dry skin.

Rose & Ben Beauty C40.5 Bronzer Brush — Perfectly shaped to hug the face’s natural contours, this brush makes blending effortless.

Sarah Creal Coming in Hot Blurring Pressed Mousse Blush — Blends like a cream, wears like a powder. Long-lasting, blurring, and gives the most natural-looking flush.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Blush and bronzer in one? Yes, please! The Everything Balm by Versed is a multi-use complexion balm that gives you a sun-kissed glow while keeping skin hydrated — dry skin girls, this one’s for you. The wear time genuinely surprised me for a balm formula. It stays.

Your summer makeup routine just got a whole lot simpler.

If you hate self tanners because they come out streaky, leave you looking orange, or smell terrible — fear no more. The Peta Jane Mousse Tanning Mousse is about to change your glow game. ✨

It leaves a beautiful, natural-looking tan, applies evenly every time, and has zero bad smell. It’s honestly self tanner I’ve tried.

I use the shade Dark

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Blue eye makeup is having its moment, and if you want to add the color in a subtle way, try a blue eyeliner! I’m using the Sarah Creal Eye Pencil in the color maritime which is a beautiful midnight navy with hints of silver. These eyeliners are made for women 40+ as they glide on smoothly and are smudge proof and transfer proof.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

If you’re looking for the perfect, simple summer makeup product, then you’ll love this new Everything Balm by Versed. It’s a blush and bronzer in one and great for dry skin.

I had shade Canyon

I only wish I started protecting my lips from the sun sooner. We often forget to apply SPF to our lips, and they can get as much sun damage as the rest of our face. The Prequel Lip Visors have a broad spectrum SPF 30 but also look and act as a hydrating gloss, that protecting your lips will no longer be an issue!

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

It’s bronzer season, and there are many new launches that will keep us looking sun kissed. Which ones do you want to try?

Maybelline has done it again with their Lifter Collection. I was gifted this Lifter Full Coverage Serum Concealer And am impressed with the coverage, and that it makes my under eyes look smooth and not cakey. I’m using shade 30.

#LTKgrwm

Loving these Abercrombie Dad Shorts. The longer inseam is perfect without being too long. Also this tank is adorable and comes in several colors. I’m in a size small
Eveything is currently 20-40% off!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

I was gifted the new Maybelline Lifter Plump & Glow Foundation to test out, and I’ve been wearing this all week! This foundation leaves the perfect medium, dewy finish, is not drying on the skin, and wears beautifully all day long. I highly recommend this, especially for my 40+ babes and dry skin ladies!

I’m in shade 115

I often get asked which eyeliners are best for women over 40, and these Eyes Up Liners by Sarah Creal are formulated for women 40+. They glide on smoothly, blend beautifully even over fine lines and folds, which also makes them perfect for hooded eyes. Once they dry they stay in place. No smudging, no budging.

Does the new formulation of the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation work on 40+ dry skin?

Yes it does! This long wearing matte foundation did not dry out my skin, and I was very impressed with the wear, especially at the end of the day. The foundation lasts up to 36 hours, is waterproof and transfer resistant, and has buildable coverage.

The medium to full coverage doesn’t look flat, and my skin could breathe through it. Although this foundation is a little heavier than I like to wear on a daily basis, it’s perfect for all of my upcoming summer events. I’m in shade 2N1 Desert Beige

Beauty Empties! I have done through 3 of the Alpyn Barrier Creams and love them! The SkinFix Barrier is okay. I did like it but not enough to purchase it again.

If you like the look of full bodied, glassy, high shine lips then you’ll love both the MAC Lipglass and the NYX Jelly Job Gloss.

I compared these glosses side by side, and although the MAC is a little thicker, and a slight bit stickier, they both give the same appearance on the lips. I thought the MAC might wear a little longer, but found they both wore off at similar times. I don’t love the applicator of the Jelly Job, as it feels flimsy, so for that I give an extra point to MAC. Overall, they’re both great products, but if you’re looking to save $, the Jelly Job is half the price.

Have you tried either of these?

If you’re looking for an eyeliner that is beginner friendly, blends easily over fine lines and folds (so good for hooded eyes), and stays in place all day, then you’ll love the Sarah Creal Eyes Up Long Wearing Eyeliners. They’re formulated for us babes 40+ have become my favorite eyeliners to use.
