MAKEUP
I've tried so many different brands of makeup over my 63 years! Here are some of the products I have found work best for me. I hope this list helps you discover something you'd like to give a try.
I love using this palette especially when I travel. It's everything I need in one durably made case. It takes up very little space in my carry on. Highly recommend!
The Best of the Best Baked Full Face Makeup Palette
I love, Love, LOVE these Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers! They're thin and small tubes take up less space in my purse and they offer great color all while moisturizing your lips. They're mildly flavored with peppermint, too, for a cool feel. My favorite ...
Lip Shimmer
For those hormonal whiskers! Lol!
I bring this with me when traveling as well as use it at home. It easily and comfortably rids your skin of those irritating whiskers that come with age or hormone imbalance. For the price, it's well worth the investment.

Flawless Touch Up
I wanted to go natural with makeup and wanted to try this Burt's Bees blush. I liked it! It's reasonably priced and wears well.
Blush with Vitamin E
I bought these for my son's wedding and really liked the shimmer!
Physicians Formula Shimmer Shadow
Great color for a great price! Bonus that's it's natural.
Burt's Bees Lipstick, Lily Lake
A dark rich red/purple color that wears well and costs little. Enjoy!
Burts Bees Lipstick, Orchid Ocean
Juniper Water is the color.
I really like these lipsticks.
Moisturizing and not quite as expensive as other brands.

Burt's Bees Lipstick
This was on my daughter-i'n-love's Christmas list last year so I got them for her. She really likes them! They offer a very natural / nude look which enhances anyone's features the way makeup should.
Mini Eyeshadow Palette
I haven't tried this myself, but my daughter-in-law surely likes it! Says it keeps her lips soft and moisturized.
Sheer Tinted Lip Moisturizer
Suede Splash by Burt's Bees is a great Fall color!

SKIN CARE
Below you'll find some of the products I've tried that I have found to be useful for my skin type. Enjoy!
I discovered Niven Morgan brand soap, lotion, shampoo & conditioner in Galveston at the Hotel Galvez. The scent is absolutely delish and a little of the body lotion goes a long way.
LAVENDER & MINT
A little goes a long way and it smells sooooooooo good! Pricey but worth it on those days you need a little extra spoiling!
Lavender & Mint Body Wash
I've been using doTerra essential oils for years and recently began using their facial cleanser. I like that it's used on dry skin rather than wet and that it moisturizes while it gently cleanses. Boosting collagen production is a BIG deal for anyone over 30 when your natural abilities decrease. This natural face cleanser is one of the better ones I've tried.
doTERRA - Facial Cleanser
Combine this hydrating cream with the doTerra face wash and you'll have young-looking, moisturized skin! I'm really liking this combination for my older skincare routine.
doTERRA - Hydrating Cream
My husband swears by this stuff, so there's that! It smells good, too!
MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN DAY Hand Lotion
After seeing ads for this balm on FB and Insta, I decided to give it a try on my knees. I oftentimes have inflammation due to arthritis due to my age. This frankincense balm has really helped. As with most natural products, relief doesn't happen overnight. Consistent use two to three times a day for about 2 weeks and you'll get results. For some, maybe sooner. For me, I'd rather be patient and use natural remedies than use chemically based pharmaceuticals that pollute my system and have negative side effects. I recommend giving this balm a try!
Vitality Extracts Frankincense Balm
This and socks at bedtime for feet who like to be bare rather than in shoes!
Foot Cream
It bothers me to no end when I'm washing my face and my hair gets in the way! I recently purchased this hairband and wristbands recommended by my grand daughter. They've come in very helpful and I recommend them for anyone with similar thoughts. They come in a variety of colors. I chose this leopard pattern because, well, I'm a fan of Def Leppard!
