DON'T BUY THESE AT THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE You know what time it is. It's the Nordstrom anniversary sale which starts in August. I've been shopping this sale for many years and over the years I've purchased things that are over hyped duds. One is a device that I not only not recommend picking up at the Nordstrom anniversary sale but I recommend you not purchase it at all. I'll explain why as you read on. DON'T BUY THIS DEVICE Every year at the Nordstrom anniversary sale the NuFace beauty device goes on sale. You'll see many influencers say how amazing this is. I got suckered into this several years ago after several influencers boasted on how this machine transformed their skin.

BOTOX FILLERS AND SKINCARE
BOTOX FILLERS AND SKINCARE Hi I'm Anne I'm turing 54 this year and I've not had any procedures as in botox or fillers. I use skincare in my morning and evening anti-aging routine. Since I started doing this I've literally seen my skin go back in time, for real! I look at pictures from just a few years ago and I'm wowed! I just want to say I have nothing against anyone that wants to get botox or fillers. But I really don't want to go down that rabbit hole. I worry about what that stuff is going to do to my organs and what will the effects be when I'm older. I also don't agree with anyone pushing skincare claiming it eliminates lines and wrinkles or adds plumpness as if they're getting procedures. I find that to be false advertising. INGREDIENTS AND SKINCARE When I was in my 20's until I ... View Post

TESTING OVERHYPED MAKEUP PRODUCTS
TESTING OVERHYPED MAKEUP PRODUCTS There are some makeup products that get overhyped and in my experience they're usually are not as good as people build them up to be. But I was curious and did some testing on overhyped makeup products to see for myself. One of the brands is hourglass. The powders and blushes always get overhyped and I was actually excited to finally try them. Yes, I know they're not new but I'm always skeptical and I'm not one to try every product that's available. I only purchase what I'm truly interested in.(this post contains affiliate links, see disclosure policy) HOURGLASS The first product I tested was the Hourglass ambient lighting powder. This always gets so overhyped with claims that it makes skin look flawless. When I applied this I saw a big ... View Post
BEST DRUGSTORE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE
BEST DRUGSTORE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE Here's a list of the best drugstore anti-aging skincare. I always use a mix of drugstore and high end skincare. I don't think you can get all of the best skincare benefits from drugstore brands so I mix the two. For reference I have oily/dry combination skin.(contains affiliate links, see disclosure policy) CLEANSER I think this is fabulous for mature skin. The Cereve cleanser is called moisturizing cleanser. It's very gentle on the skin. This is great for cleansing your face in the morning. This is not something you'd use to remove your makeup. You can also use this as your double cleanse. If you're looking for a cleansing balm double cleanse combination I recommend the Pixie double cleanse. This jar has a balm on one side to remove your ... View Post
