Ageless makeup
Great foundation that was recommended to me by someone who does holistic facials. She told me that most foundations settle into your pores and recommended several that do not. Has skincare ingredients and the coverage is great but doesn’t settle into...
4-in-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer - PÜR | Ulta Beauty
This foundation is perfect for all day coverage. This kind of coverage along with not feeling like I have makeup on makes it perfect! At 65 I still have people compliment me on my skin.
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
Well this was a surprise. I didn’t know it was white out of the tube. This foundation color was a perfect match and my favorite lower cost foundation. Good coverage - I’m sure I look ageless 😀
Almay Anti-Aging Foundation, Smart Shade 300
I’ve tried a few tinted moisturizers and none of them hold a candle to this one. Perfect for no makeup weekends.
Bb Tinted Moisturizer Spf 30 Sunscreen - Tarte™ Cosmetics
Taken a while to find one I like but this is it. Undereyes at my age really need a creamy concealer.
Shape Tape™ Creamy Concealer | Tarte™ Cosmetics
I have used this for a few years and it is game changer when applying makeup. My makeup looks flawless and it blends so well. Added by mud is a little massage for your face. I can’t even apply may makeup any other way now. My all time best purchase.
Spa Sciences ECHO Makeup Brush - 3 Speeds, Rechargeable
Skincare
Spray on after cleansing or makeup to lock in your look. This is really hydrating and it smells so good. Under $10 for an 8 oz bottle - same price as the 4 oz.
HERITAGE STORE Rosewater & Glycerin Facial Mist 8oz
It’s really helped reduce the appearance of fine lines around my eyes and dark circles. It absorbs well and works underneath my make up. Excellent value at $5.99.
Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
Reasonably priced and great product. Hydrates well and great to mix a little with your foundation.
Hydrating Milky Toner - BYOMA
I’m trying to have glass skin and this is a great makeup primer. It’s not sticky at all and is great for your skin.
Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum - BYOMA
Another less expensive moisturizer. I used a more expensive night moisturizer and found the ingredients here are similar and is just as good. I have sensitive skin and no issues with this product.
Differin Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid, 2.5 oz
No more $60 moisturizers for me. Getting older means living on a budget and this one is great!
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer 3oz
See the Arnicare post. This one has Oxymetazoline and cheaper than an Afrin. Works the same.
Amazon Basic Care No Drip Severe Congestion Nasal Spray, 12 Hr Relief, Oxymetazoline HCl, Max Strength + Menthol, Steroid Free, 1 fl oz
I have used this as part of my hand routine because suddenly I looked down and saw my mother’s hands! I don’t even know where I heard this helps with age spots but holy moly it’s true.
Also just hear me out. Mix a little with Afrin (or any nose spr...
Boiron Arnicare Gel for Pain Relief 2.6 oz
This stuff is drugstore next level lotion. I’m on a journey to stop the old age hands and this is part of my regimen.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream 16oz
This is great to add to your purse and for a quick easy cooling balm for your eyes.
Glow + Get It - TULA
My update - I really like these products, particularly the neck cream and melon serum. I’m still in the starter so not sure what I might keep using but will post them separately.
I ordered the starter pack because I am always game to try. I’ve only...

Protini Polypeptide Cream 50 ML
“I didn’t expect a serum to make this much difference—but this one did. My skin looks smoother, feels firmer, and has that glow I thought was gone for good.
Meaningful Beauty Youth Activating Melon Serum
I’ve been using this neck + décolleté crème nightly, and it’s like a gentle lift in a jar. My skin feels firmer, smoother, and that crepey texture is noticeably softer.
Meaningful Beauty Skin Brightening Neck Treatment
I sometimes forget about Sally’s for good buys. I found this moisturizer and it is great. I’m not looking for a big tan these days. Just a little something for my legs and this moisturizes well and gives me just what need without costing too much.
Moist Hemp Bronzing Moisturizer
I just saw Nina Pool on TikTok with this as a dupe for a high end product. Contains peptides and is greaseless. Definitely hydrating and every bit as good as my expensive night cream. Highly recommend this product for only $11.00. Extra savings if yo...

Hair care
I’m losing my hair. This stuff is great to hide that thinning crown.
Boldify
Thinning hair is the worst. This product is really good and doesn’t break the bank.
John Frieda ULTRAfiller+ 3 Pack Set for Thin Hair
This product says you will see a difference in one week and it was not wrong. I’ve tried everyone to help with dry and split ends and the expensive ones never did a thing. This one is affordable and works! The only thing they got wrong was that it wa...
L'Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream 6.8oz
I don’t like dry shampoo so this stuff is perfect for those no wash days. It doesn’t dry out your hair like the dry stuff. It’s cheaper with a subscription through this link, but trust me - I’ve had a bottle for well over 10 months so actually cost i...
Showerless Shampoo 8oz. - Clean your hair in less time
I’m working on my hair loss and have stopped getting my hair colored. This was recommended by my stylist. It’s a semi permanent color conditioner and is a perfect substitute. The conditioner makes my hair soft and looks healthier. Only use it once ev...

I haven’t decided if this helps my hair growth but I love it anyway. Smells like coffee and nourishes my hair.

Wigs
I’m on a wig journey and this one is beautiful right out of the box. I’ve had so many compliments on it and it looks so real. I have the ash brown which is a retired color.
Cordoba by BelleTress | Synthetic Wig
Can’t beat a classic bob and this one is beautiful. Warning - the cap is a little small so measure. No need to fix your hair every day and I promise they won’t know!
Raquel Welch Wigs - Cruise Control
Love this wig. It’s a little higher density than I typically like and needs a little work on the face framing but a nice color and fit. It’s comfortable and open wefted so not too hot. Would definitely buy this again.
Beach hair on order! Envy wig....
Charlotte | Synthetic Lace Front Wig (Mono Part)
I got this in an open box sale and I love it. This is the caramel biscotti color. Very affordable and very comfortable.
Clara | Synthetic Lace Front Wig (Lace Part)
My first short wig purchase and it really is pretty for the price. I got the chestnut color in an open box special.
Sky Wig by Noriko | Synthetic Hair | Average Cap
Finally a classic bob that has everything I was looking for. The length is perfect. The color caramel biscotti is beautiful. The cap is so comfortable. Took me a few tries before I got what I was looking for and this is it.
Kristi
This wig is stunning. Beach Wave Magic by Tressallure has feathered bangs and light beach. Fiber that is very lightweight and looks and feels like natural hair. Heat friendly, so you can curl or straighten the hair. Hand tied monofilament top and ea...
Beach Wave Magic | Synthetic Lace Front Wig (Mono Top)
Absolutely the most flattering for me. The picture is in Cool Ash Brown which is a great color. Perfect length for the summer. Incredibly comfortable!
City Collection - NEWPORT - Belle Tress Wig
Gorgeous color! This is in sumptuous strawberry. I actually pulled off a red and it is true that if you wear red people take notice. Belle Tress wigs are just so nice and comfortable.
Sugar Rush E
Alicante by Belle Tress in Mocha Maple Brown. The color is amazing. I have come to learn that every woman needs at least one wig at least to avoid those bad hair days or just to run out of of the house in a pinch. This is a great throw in and go wig.
Alicante
Absolutely beautiful wig. The quality of this beats all the others I have tried. Very impressed.
